As told from the perspective of one member of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Ahhh, all is quiet. Just my two servants ready to do my bidding at a moment’s notice. And a sunbeam. Life is good.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Good sunbeam! Stretching out a bit. Getting comfy. Checking schedule… no, don’t need a servant at the moment. Snooze….<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Oh?? Did I hear something? Please say it ain’t so. My ears are fooling me, right?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Oh?? Did I see an interloper on my porch? I’ve got to have a discussion with my servants about what they allow to happen when I’m taking my first morning nap.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
And now I have to think. I hate thinking. It’s so hard!!! Considering options….<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Bug in a rug. Sigh.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well poor little guy is hiding in the bed waiting for the interlopers to leave and things to get back to what he perceives as “normal.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing perspective to a different member of the household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is good progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
View of the two new windows which were installed on Monday, and siding. All the white splotches are to cover nails and seams, preparation necessary for painting which will be tomorrow.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
West wall and window.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
North wall and window seat, including a window!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
More north wall, and a corner of the deck on the porch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The concrete board needs to be cleaned off as there is tons of dust on it from cutting the siding boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Inside it is a dusty mess with sanding the first coat of sheet-rock mud and then more mud being applied to the walls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
It’s a very dusty mess at the moment. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
The window which used to be behind Oro’s cage is gone forever. No sanding has been done inside yet. Can’t wait. So excited to have dust to play with inside the house where we live!!! Ok, so that’s not precisely accurate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Baking results<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The other day I felt like baking so I made a batch of peach and cinnamon muffins, a batch of cheese cushions, and a batch of chocolate chip cookies. All were deposited into the freeze for instant snacks. Lots more baking needs to be done as we had eaten everything I made a little while ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s good distraction from having contractors in the house, and much better than hiding my head in a blankie like somebody else I know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
