I can't believe it's been almost a week since I updated. Actually, I guess it's been exactly a week.

The days fly by pretty fast with my daydreaming and the bit that I actually get to do. We're getting a room ready for my grandma to stay in. She comes next Wednesday, and she'll faint if she sees the house the way it is right now! Fainting is the nicest thing she could do. Considering how clean she likes things to be, I'm afraid it might just send things up to a full-blown heart attack.

But, that's why she's coming. To clean. I once knew a girl who complained all the time that a particular family member came to visit and all she did was clean the house. Well, that sounds like a dream to me, especially right now. I'm embarrassed when even the UPS man comes to the house. The front stoop is a mess of chairs and outdoor toys that we haven't put into their rightful spot. While there are some things I don't want someone to put away, I will welcome anyone coming into my house right now and trying to tackle the mess.

Gwen is getting a cat. We already have a cat. But my friend Marjorie is giving her another one that will be our outdoor mouser. Today we got a call from the previous owner of this house, who is renting our other house from us, saying that he and his wife can't take their 3 cats to Germany with them next month because the weather is too hot. So, after some conversation, we agreed to take their cats for either 3 years or until the weather cools off in the fall. He doesn't know which yet, but he really likes his cats and we really need some animals to lower the rodent population around here, so this will probably all work out for the best.

Tomorrow is another CT scan on my knees. Hopefully....everyone cross every single appendage possible that I can start putting some weight on my leg!
