I knocked a few more days off my unused vacation by taking the Monday - Wednesday before the office was closed on Thursday and Friday. I had one major project, a real "must complete," as I had to move all the breakables off the furniture. That's all my ceramic vegetables, salt and pepper shakers and dishes. And, let's not forget the living room and the the storage cabinet built underneath the bar. Where was it all going to go? I put together a shelf and stuffed it with as much as would fit. A few times it felt like things were growing back in place of the everything I removed. I stood my bed up against the wall. We ended up putting the dining room table in there as well and then inverting end tables on top of that. Although everything was not perfectly organized, I was ready for tile installation to begin on December 1.

Her four year old boy eagerly helped to clean the toilets with cleaner that turned the water blue.
I dog sat the Wednesday before through the Friday after Thanksgiving for Lucy, a very sweet basset-schnauzer mix. And because I know you are wondering what that combination looks like, here are pictures:
