Whew!

I think we are back, at least partially. We still have one desktop that cannot find the internet, but muzzer is working on it dog-gedly.(hehe)

So, with no further ado, I will attempt to catch up on events of the last week:
1. I spent a lot of time sleeping at the store while the new floors were being installed. Muzzer says I am only getting half pay for the hours I spent sleeping. Sheesh! Doesn't she realize that my main job function is "cute?" Doesn't she think I can be "cute" while sleeping?


Meanwhile, back at the ranch......Dad and Teka were supervising the guys who installed the floor. Teka is bossy enough that she could have taken care of it all by herself, but she needed Dad to translate for her.
This is what one section of the new floor looks like.
It is the area that Teka "christened" about an hour after the installers left on the first day.
Boy...am I glad I was sleeping at the store when that happened!


Here is what Dad's office looks like with the new floor.
Pretty classy, huh?
Now he is talking about oriental rugs to muffle the ticky tacky of little toe nails.
Interrupts philosophizing big time!
The bedrooms all got new carpet, but it is pretty boring, so I am not including a picture. All the bathrooms got to keep their tiles, and so did the kitchen and dining room. Boy, did the human parents ever make a mess moving stuff from room to room to make a space for the installers to work. Dad says muzzer is not much help when it comes to moving the heavy stuff. The spirit is willing but the arms are short! He got in a lot of trouble for saying that, too.
2. This week muzzer also set Teka's appointment to visit the vet and get "spayed" for Tuesday the 27th. The vet says the hardest part will be keeping Teka relatively quiet for a couple of days. I wonder if this means she can't jump on the bed and wrestle? Time will tell, but it isn't going to be a pretty picture.
3, Muzzer broke the window on my Honda, and it had to spend the day at the Honda Hospital getting a new regulator.
4. We celebrated the one month anniversary of muzzer's visit to the opthalmalogist. She is supposed to be getting two new pairs of glasses....one for distance and one for blogging. She has been driving back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. The net result is one pair of glasses for distance and ZERO for blogging. Good thing she is a touch typist or we would never get this blog up and running. She wants to try the new contacts that are available for one of her vision problems, but she thinks this whole mishmash has been spooked by the gremlins and maybe she will wait a while longer. After all, she has been wearing glasses for 56 people years now, why try to change things?
5. As E-Rabbit explained, muzzer also fried the brains on the modem. She has not been a happy camper. I am going to help her take a bubble bath. Maybe she will want to play with my green cuz and I can play with her rubber ducky.
All the news that is fit to print, and some of it that isn't.....love and kisses, I am so happy to be back. Gussie

Great googly moogly-- you blog over a modem? With all those pictures and words? I have a whole newfound respect for your efforts. It's like painting a mural with toothpicks.
