As the title suggests, this summer has been so busy over here. We started a major home renovation project over the last while and phase one just finished. We knocked down two main walls on the mainfloor of our house and added a solarium/sunroom to the back of the house.
The reno guys were really quite good, but I'm very happy to have my house back to myself. They literally almost worked 7 days a week, so each weekend we would escape to the cottage. I also didn't have a working kitchen so we had to do a lot of microwave meals and fast food. I never thought I would miss my stove, but this experience has changed that! ;)
Phase 2 will be planning/installing the kitchen ourselves and refinishing the floors throughout the house. Once that is done, I'll be on the look out for a new feline (or two!) to make my home complete. :D
I'm a little torn right now since I'm still missing Nakita like crazy and I'm not sure how I'll handle having another cat in the house. But I'm going to take my time making sure the right one comes home since I can't stand not having a cat in the house. It's been really hard these last few months coming home and not having anyone to come home to.
The house still is so silent and lifeless but I hope to change that soon. Also, please let me know your opinions on what cats I should get? Should I get two females? One male one female? Two males? I've only had female cats so not familar with male cats at all! Right now I'm so feline deprived I'm sure I'll just pick up the first two I see. ;)
Thank goodness we did the renos since it has kept my mind busy and my mind moving forward. So, I didn't want you guys to think I forgot any of you or your kindness. We've just been extremely busy with all the contractors and cleaning up!
