Woke up way too early fretting about getting this big thing done at work and encouragement from the cats for a beforetime breakfast. Got it done! Just one day away from vacation.

I had to be a prison guard and keep the confused cats locked in the bedroom for the better part of the day because the whole hall and all the doorways were repainted today. They insisted on needing my front door to be open for hours. There was much agitation about this all through the day. But it is done and the cats are free now.

Poor Sammy is scratching again just four days after going off the steroids. Stella is still doing well though, her belly fur is growing back.

Hair cut this afternoon. Cold out there but it felt great to be out and about and moving.
