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.
