What a Cute Face

My darling Livvy. Isn’t she so sweet?

The renovation has been tough on her, unfortunately. Some days we have to lock her upstairs, because I can’t have her running around in the paint or gypsum dust, or taking of outside while the door is wide open. I trained her from a little kitten to be “one of the kids,” so it is very painful for her to be locked away from us, hearing our voices and all the activity. :( She meows so pitifully, too.

We’re hoping to have this project done SOMETIME soon. Whew. We finally got the walls up, but I still have a lot to do. Cabinets, counters, sink, plumbing the dishwasher, trim work, painting, install flooring, and much much more. I’m under a bit of pressure, too, because the kids start school soon… and I have a job, as well! I’ve taken some time off to do the renovation, but I have to get back to work soon, to pay off all this stuff. Whew. Moreover, I have yet to purchase some things for my office– I’d love to get an iPhone and iphone warranty!– but I must be practical and get things like a new computer and pencils and such, lol.

So that’s where we are right now. I just can’t wait until it’s complete! And neither can Livvy.
