I am at T-21 hours so it seemed time to get the spare bedroom order. This room is really my office, but the changes are dually beneficial. I have tucked away unsightly odds and ends, but this aso keeps those things safe when the kids visit. And the new Ikea bed is a regular twin for adult visitors, but there is a faux trundle underneath that Ben loves. It's also useful for spare blankets. The computer monitor is actually a TV and the bed is only a few pillows away from a daybed. With the curtains pulled shut it becomes a wonderful little sanctum in the apartment, safe from everyone but the cats as Penne demonstrates here investigating the 'lack-case' I've assembled from unused end tables. Tomorrow is kitchen, hall, car, decorating and airport pickup!

As the kids are wont to say these days, 'pics or it didn't happen.' Thusly, I present the effort of last night (bathroom) and tonight (living and dining). Tonight also included total clean out of the pig cage, as well as nail trimming and top-spot application for all four pets. This might seem excess preparation for a visitor, but it's truly embarassing when your cat sticks to the carpet.
