It has been awhile since anybody has been here....
I'm finally getting new windows installed for my office in a few weeks. Because of that upcoming project, I had to move Sterling and Diamond out of my office. Sterling likes to sleep the during the day and I don't want either of them inhaling construction dust, ect...
Moving Sterling's cage wasn't a big deal as it is on wheels. Diamond's enclosure is not on wheels and weighs about 50 pounds. I put her in the tub while I moved her "house" in the event I dropped it on my foot or something, then put her back when I was done. I put my walking pad where Sterling's cage was and took some plants from the living room and put those where Diamond's enclosure was. They've got plenty of light as I snagged the plant light from the living room as well.
I can't remember the last time my office was free of critters. I've always had a fish tank or something. It feels empty, but I'm not going to move them back when the windows are done. No more mornings of Chica trying to go after Sterling while Sterling tries to bite Chica's nose and or kick sand at her from her dust bath box. Then there was the constant vacuuming because Jingle would grab pieces of hay, chew them up and leave a trail all the house. Blech! My house is a frickin' circus.
I'm going to be sore tomorrow. I've already taken some Advil as my chest is tight already from lifting Diamond's enclosure. Sore or not, there is no rest for the wicked, I need to vacuum, dust my plants, water them, order a pad to go underneath them, blah, blah, blah. This how things go. Start one project and it opens up a entire can of worms.
EDIT: My hands are going to be sore as well. I have bruises on my right palm and one on the pad of my left index finger. When I washed my hands, I thought they were dirt. I was wondering where the dirt came from.
