FINALLY – today is the last day of the project from hell floor project and we will return to some semblance of PEACE AND QUIET after around noon-ish. Boy oh boy am I ready for THAT!
I have to admit the floor in the kitchen looks pretty darn swell though – so maybe all that noise was worth it? Maybe? I did spend a major part of yesterday UTC (under the couch) and when I came OUT for brief periods (when Mom and Dad came down to visit me or I had to use my potty) it was a quick trip out because the noise was almost UNBEARABLE – and I’m half deaf for pete’s sake!
Doesn’t it look swell? My post from Wednesday shows what it looked like “BEFORE”. Meanwhile forgive the mess – they will finish up today – trim, and a couple of spots and the laundry room then DONE!
Mom and Dad will move furniture back in place later today when the guys are gone OR maybe wait until they clean the kitchen up……….dust bunnies are everywhere and sawdust bunnies as well. Then I won’t have to yell at Mom about putting things BACK IN ORDER. Mom said she never knew how much I depended on things being in the same place as always but I sure have missed order in my kitchen. Mom probably has too but then she got to go out to dinner these past few nights because of the kitchen being under siege!
SO – today is BACK TO NORMAL day………….or maybe I shouldn’t say NORMAL because I’m not entirely sure my family has ever been NORMAL………..just maybe BACK TO QUIET day. Yeah. That works for me!
Happy FRIDAY!
p.s. YES I got my bacon today because the workers don’t get here until 9AM and we have breakfast at 6AM…..thank heavens I COULD count on Mom making it up to me by giving me bacon on a Friday AND tomorrow on my usual BACONATOR day……Whew!
Hugs,
Sammy the Relieved Cat

That floor looks amazing. Mom tells me our floor USED TO look like that before I moved in and started running, jumping, sliding, and gouging it with my nails. Now it looks like a mountain lion lives here. We’re OK with it though. Mom would rather have a playful doggie than a shiny floor. Tell your mom I can come over and “fix” hers if she needs me to….. I have a feeling your kitty nails are too tiny to do any damage.

Gosh Cupcake….thanks for offering to get my new floor in shape – I think nail-gouging would give the floor a lot better TRACTION than a shiny new one does…..I don’t want to be sliding around on it!!!! I bet if I were about 14 years younger I could do a good job of it but these days I’m not doing much running, jumping and sliding….!!!!!! I’ll see what Mom says….or maybe we can wait until she’s not home and you could “time tunnel” over and FIX my floor????
