Getting a Few Things Done
Jeremy's got the week off right now so we've decided to take care of a few things. First, I'm very happy to finally have light fixtures in the bedrooms instead of bare bulbs hanging from wires. We have planted our front garden and put some plants on the deck. Tonight we're going to secure the new shelf we mounted above our television so that we can actually put stuff on it. Also, I've got plans tonight to touch up the ceilings in the bedrooms so it no longer looks like a kindergartner painted our house. I would have also painted some of the trim but I'm totally sluggish from being drunk last night. Margaritas.
The other day, our across-the-yard neighbour's tree decided to break and fall into our yard. It didn't damage anything, but it's sitting on top of our fire pit. No storm, it just fell. Scary! The neighbour is a totally good sort who understands it's his tree and that he's responsible for clearing it off of our property. He's going to chop it up so we can use it for firewood.
Tomorrow is going to be a hard day. Cuba's going in to the vet to get some teeth removed. The cats were in for their yearly checkups and the vet found a lot of damage. We had no idea because she's always been a happy piggy who has had no problem crunching up her food. Her front teeth are a mess and have to go, but she'll keep her molars and fangs.
Knitting-wise, I've started a new project, Grow With Me from Knitty. There is errata. Apparently the editors accidentally edited away the stitch pattern for the bodice. The missing information can be found on the Knitty message boards here (you have to be registered to follow the link). I'm using Cotton-Ease. It needs to be washable and I just can't justify the cost of Rowan Denim.
I don't have much else to share since I've been spending time working on a project I can't discuss, as well as sporadic spinning and dyeing. Mostly I've been sweating and praying for rain. Just not on Sunday night, please. It's triple-feature at the drive-in, starting off with the new Die Hard movie, and Jeremy and I are going to try to sit through the whole thing.

Poor Cuba. I am sure everything will be fine. I'll be thinking about her/him. I can't remember if Cuba is a boy or girl but I do know Cuba is the tiny gray one right?

My cats are sending good thoughts to Cuba today. Well, not Meena, but you know how she is.
Why the impetus to get things done? HAVING VISITORS SOON? Heh heh. My bathrooms would never have gotten painted if Marjon and Ivon didn't visit last month.
Also interested in the "project you can't discuss." :D
LASTLY, I really hope there is something fun at the drive-in when we visit! This is usually the weekend we come see you! We're going to have to celebrate Canada Day all alone this year.

Partly having visitors, partly because sometimes you look around and just CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! Heh. I need some picture frames and a couple of mirrors. Ugh. So much to do.
Cuba still hasn't gone in for the procedure. We called the vet and she's still in queue. We're picking her up at 6:30 tonight, after recovery. Cuba is a girly girl lady. :)

Awwww. Cuba. Hope the teeth-pulling won't hurt her too much.
And yay for all the action in and around the house. I hope we someday get to the point where we can't take it anymore...
