We had a painting reprieve for most of Thursday for Thanksgiving. We had a good dinner, mashed potatos, sweet potatos, turkey, stuffing, brussel sprouts, rolls and gravy.
Mom was home on Friday too so she helped me finish the white trim in the hallway. So that’s all done except for putting in the new closet doors, which needed 4 coats of paint!
Saturday we all drove up (in 2 cars) to Seven Corners to the malamute rescue place with Mookie and Vashti. We let them both play with a dog named Memphis (8 months old) and a dog named Raiden (3 years old I think). Vashti was fine with both dogs but Mookie was a little testy with Raiden. My parents decided to adopt Memphis so they signed the papers and drove home. They changed his name to Wolf (mom says it like wool-if), but I suggested Wolfgang Pup. Mom seemed to like that. The dogs seem to be getting along ok, they play well in the yard together, but Mookie doesn’t like Wolfy in his room near his “safety” zone. He’s been hiding under the bed alot. Wolfy is getting used to the house and his new food isn’t agreeing with him yet but he’s a puppy and he’s doing funny puppy things. I’ll add a picture to this post later.
I went out Christmas shopping yesterday too. Got almost all of the US people done so I can wrap them and leave them here or mail them from here. I’m still waiting on the beads I ordered so I can finish up the US bracelets. I found a really nice wrapping paper and ribbon at Target and got some jewelry boxes at Michaels.
Back to painting today, we got most of the Puppy Paw color done in the kitchen. Still need to do a second coat on the ceiling and the dining room then pull out the washer and dryer and paint in that closet. Dad is still repairing the rotted wood in the floor but we should have alot done by the end of next week. It really makes me want to start on my own place, but we have no idea when we’ll find a place and move.
Tomorrow I have an appointment at 8:30am to get my passport name changed. Gary and I are going in on the train with mom at like 5am and after we have to hang around until 1pm for the train home.
