Day Snatcher

I thought my day was planned out perfectly. I would have an early doctor's appointment and then have plenty of time to finish up a paper for school. The day started off exactly how I had envisioned it until.....the evil sickness took over. That was yesterday and I have no idea where yesterday went. It is almost like someone stole 24 hours from me and I am going to try to get it back. I was suppose to go to another doctors appointment today but I was too sick to go so I rescheduled until next Wednesday. I also took another day off work. I have almost been off a whole week now. Good think Spring Break is coming soon!

Loft Progress

Today Momoko planned to build Little Kat's loft bed. There was just one problem with that. Momoko hurt her little toe. That just meant I had to do more work on this project. For example, I had to carry all the boxes up the stairs. Did I mention these boxes are marked "heavy - use 2 people to lift"? Well they are.

After an afternoon of a lot of electric drill work, the bed started looking like a bed. Momoko tightened four huge bolts that held up the bed. Then she added some screws that stabilized the thing. She asked me to climb up and check it out. The bed is rated to hold up to 1000 pounds. I climbed up and the ladder seemed strong. The top of the bed was good as well (we put Little Kat's mattress on top already).

Right now Momoko is adding all the delicious accessories that we bought with the bed. I think she has some bookshelves and a desk attached already. This thing might actually be done by midnight. Momoko has a lot of the actual pictures. The one shown above is not Little Kat's room. It is just a sample picture.

Shake a Tail and Vote!

The cool thing about being a teacher is that you do not have to work on election days because they use the school for a polling place. So the kittens and I had a day off!!! I made sure that I painted my fingernails red, white, and blue. I got the idea from Kit, but don't tell her. I wanted to be in the voting spirit. I woke up early (9 ish) to go with Black to vote. I was very much surprised to see there was no line and we were able to vote very quickly. I hope the rest of the day goes by as smoothly and I hope every one gets a chance to vote today!
