Yesterday's condo

Not only is work crazy busy at the moment, it seems to be bad news on top of bad news and one endless meeting after another. In addition, I had the brilliant idea that I would install insulation by myself to save some money. Well, I did it. Twelve giant batts of insulation. For half of them, I had to climb up a ladder, squeeze through a tiny hole in the ceiling into my attic and then crawl around on my ceiling beams. Let's just say that every bone in my body hurts today. But it's done! ...and it'll hopefully make a huge difference in heating bills.

So Mandarin's fantastic numbers could not have come at a better time. He is rocking this dose! :woot::cat::joyful: It just lifts my mood every time I look at his spreadsheet. It almost seems to be too good to be true - that he has gone from a mostly yellow and pink ss to a blue and green one without even changing the dose. But I'll take it.

Walter isn't doing too bad either. He briefly made it into the lagoon last night... and then I probably ruined it because I brought out some MC food for Mandarin.

....and I am done for the week! I'm about to take my pups for a walk and then I might take a hot bath and lay on the couch and watch a movie. Just something where I don't have to use my brain or move a muscle. :smuggrin:
 
It's crazy what we'll do but congrats on getting the insulin done! The boys are looking fantastic and glad you're off for the week. Enjoy the walk, hot bath and that movie. Sounds like a great well deserved afternoon.
 
What happened to the boy's synchronization? Of course, don't want to make it too easy on the bean. Mandarin is looking much better now.

Your plans for the day sound wonderful! Sorry about the muscles - I added insulin to our attic many years ago, it's an ugly job. But it made a difference to our heating bills.
 
I am SO impressed!! Hats off on the insulation job! It is not as easy as it sounds and the Batts are not easy to muscle about! Well done!!
Hope you have a really relaxing evening where you just relish knowing your house will be toasty! :bighug::bighug:
Nice of the Boys to oblige with sweet numbers!:cat::cat:
 
Wow. I am beyond impressed. I could never have done that insulation job. Just thinking about the stuff makes me itch. You definitely earned that hot bath and evening on the sofa. Maybe a tub of popcorn to go with the movie, too!

Mandarin, you are making your mama and all your aunties so proud lately! Keep up the good work! :D Just one request: could you please share your secret with your brother? That would really make us all happy!
;)

I hope the little girls are doing well. You know I have such soft spot for them, after their rough start.
 
You rock! With the insulation job and Mandarin rocking the dose, what can I say. I thought my day was tough making a nice lunch for my BIL returning my mom and running multiple errands and lots of phone calls. You really raised the bar with the heating insulation job! I am not letting DH read this to get any idea. LOL :p

They are both the sweetest little girls. Iris, in particular, is such an affectionate little kit. Now that she has discovered that she can sleep under the covers, she has started sleeping curled up under my chin, purring, and kneading my face.:kiss: I'll work on some new pictures for tomorrow's post. Their health is still about the same. Iris is still congested and I think Flora might have had a little too much gravy food lately. It's just hard keeping her out of it and Mandarin is just too polite. None of this slows either one of them down though - they are both super active and playful

What happened to the boy's synchronization? Of course, don't want to make it too easy on the bean. Mandarin is looking much better now.
Wouldn't that be nice if Walter could follow his brother's lead? ...I keep hoping for it, but I am happy that he is hitting blues and greens on a regular basis without bouncing into pink.

It's been lovely not doing anything tonight..well, other than watching TV with the furry crew. They all loved it too!
