The Work Continues

Sports Nut and I are almost done painting upstairs. This is a Good Thing because the Wizard returns home tomorrow night and has expressed a desire an interest in painting the trim. Better him than me, that's all I can say. We've done one round of touch-up and I'll do another tonight. Tomorrow will be devoted to clean-up so that the Wizard can work over the weekend. Also so that my brother, who thoughtfully called me today to remind me that he's going to spend some time with us this weekend since he's in Dodge for a conference, will have a place to sleep.

So here's the state of things as of the end of the day yesterday. It doesn't look significantly different today, so why bother with two sets of shots?

View 1 -- The closet doors, seen lying on the floor and leaning against a door, are also painted.

View 2 -- More of the same.

View 3 -- Nothing much to see, apart from the tail end of a cat.

View 4 -- Sports Nuts paints inside the closet.

And today, a bonus view!

The bathroom painting in progress.

Thanks to the painting project, little else has happened this week. Though an odd thing did take place the other night while I was watching television.

Yuki decided to join Hershey in his bed. As you can see, Hershey wasn't too sure about this. Not that sharing the dog beds isn't a common occurrence in this household.

The cats also like to consider the dog crates their territory.

Occasionally, they do share with the dogs.

But the dogs sharing a crate or a bed is pretty unusual. Looking around the living room, we quickly discovered the cause.

As the cat showed no inclination to cede Yuki's bed to her, Yuki decided to join Hershey in his big new bed. Despite Hershey's initial reluctance, the two of them eventually settled down.

Though it looks like Yuki, who is about half Hershey's size, is taking up way more than her fair share of Hershey's bed.
