stormdogI love the quiet, contented feeling of being caught up on things. That's the way I feel after this weekend. Though Andrea was out of town on Saturday night at her slumber party, she rented a steam cleaner for me and I, after cleaning detritus off of various furniture pieces and moving them into the kitchen, went pretty thoroughly over our carpets with it. I went through about fifteen or twenty gallons of water and got just about all of the spots out. Even on the stair landing where the litter box had been. After that, I sprinkled some pet odor removing stuff on the carpet to suck in scent and vacuumed. Then I moved our HEPA filter downstairs and let it run for a few hours. Everything looks so much better, and smells better too.
I moved the litter box into the kitchen since Stormy is still unwilling to go upstairs. Andrea says that, when she came downstairs Sunday morning, Stormy had pooped on the rug by the front door and was walking around crying. I have a good place for it; I just have to make sure I scoop it every day.
I also got started on the garage by breaking down and bundling a bunch of boxes. I've added them to the ones on the front porch to go out with the recycling this week. I'm going to get a bunch of stuff out to the curb this week, and then do more work on cleaning out the garage so I can get rid of some shelfy cabinets in there too. I put the inflatable pool into a box in the back until I figure out what to do with it and whether Posi wants it.
And at the end of Sunday evening, I caught up on money stuff and wrote checks for my car payment and student loan and whatnot, and paid for cell phones and other bills on line. I have to make a couple phone calls today and figure out how much I need to send to a few other places, but I'm mostly done with bills up to the present and that's a satisfying feeling.
I also had people over at the house on Saturday afternoon. After![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
netrage emailed me during the week about doing something this weekend, I thought I'd invite posicat up too. So Posi brought tybis and novaotter, and Netrage brought his girlfriend and kids. I hadn't quite expected there to be so many people, so I was a little worried that people would be bored or there wouldn't be enough food. Fortunately, DDR occupied the kids for a while and we actually had food left over; we didn't even start on the corn that Posi's group brought. After food, we sat and watched silly Flash movies on the TV computer, and that was pretty good too.

certification community for suggestions, I think I'm going to go for an MSCA cert on top of the Cisco boot camp I'm going to. Hopefully there'll be some synergy there in my future job hunt. I know that what would really help is a college degree, but I don't know when I'll manage that. Still, I'm thinking I should look into what I'd still need as far as classes or credits in order to do it.
Well, work now.
