- 3:40 PM - Kitchen done! Jett-Paw (her Warriors name changed at sixmonths old) tried to help!
- 4:12 PM - Dining room done! Kitties are napping.
- 4:33 PM - After a snack of crackers and cream cheese, I discovered that I will need a second person to do the living room. I think this is the only room that this is the case so Ree will have to help me tonight or tomorrow. She's not here right now.
- 4:38 PM - Front room (den) is fine already! The room has a lot of stuff, but nothing near the radiator that will be affected by the heat.
- 4:49 PM - Ree's bedroom finished. here wasn't much to do except pick up the half dozen books that has fallen behind or underneath the radiator.
- 5:23 PM - Amazing! I checked my email, read a couple of blog postings that aren't mine, and still finished my bedroom. I had started it first, and wanted to give up, but decided to do the other rooms first. Sadly, the kittens are losing most of the space they had under the bed, but they still have a little hiding space left.
I have completed my task except for the living room. In the process I even threw some stuff out and put some things in the boxes for flea market/yard sale/donation. You may wonder why I waited so long to turn on the heat. The apartment hasn't gotten as cold as my last one would by this time of the fall.
I try to open enough of the blinds to let the warmth of the sun help heat the place; we have been lucky enough to have quite a few sunny days. I would never use a stove for heat, but if I'm going to make something that can go in the oven, microwave, or toaster oven, I choose the oven. We wear sweaters and sweatshirts, but it's never gotten really cold yet. Our luck is running out so I'm glad I will be able to turn on the heat tomorrow!
