No one at Chez Reading Reality had the best week this week, and the reviews definitely reflect that. I only had ONE book work for me, and there was even more flailing and bailing than seems evident from here. We were finally able to sleep in our own bed again Thursday night – and things are slowly getting back to normal although there’s a lot of clean up to do AND a whole lot of area rugs to decide on. But with the cats, hardwood is definitely a better option than carpet.
The humans were definitely NOT the only people in the house who were not best pleased with the work being done. The cats stayed in the basement while we decamped to a hotel. It took several hours on Thursday evening for most of them to emerge from what had clearly become their new ‘safe place’.
But if a picture is worth a thousand words, Tuna is just saying ‘DADDY I’M SCARED!’ over and over again. Even between the knees of a ‘security human’, Tuna was obviously petrified of all the changes. This was taken Friday morning just below the top of the stairs because he was just not coming up. He did finally join the rest of the fam late Friday evening. Everyone seems to be okay now, even Tuna, but they’re all still a bit clingy. And so are their humans!
