Heat Wave and Updates

I am sorry I have not been blogging much lately. Our computer is in our loft, on the third floor of our house. Without air conditioning, it can be quite uncomfortable up there, especially with high humidity. This past week, we were in a heat advisory with our heat indexes over 100. It was dreadful. We pretty much only went up enough to check on Cocoa (who can surprisingly take the heat quite well but we do give her ice bottles when it's really bad). This week is supposed to be much better and it helped that we finally got our rain yesterday (we were expecting rain since Thursday and it just wasn't coming!).

This past week hasn't been very busy because it's hard to get anything done when even just sitting makes you sweat. Plus, despite being in my second trimester now, I'm still throwing up, nauseous, and having really bad headaches so that doesn't help things either. I did get a prescription for my headaches but I didn't take the one for my nausea because I wasn't sure you could take both and my headaches are actually worse than the throwing up (if you can imagine).

On Saturday, David and his parents worked really hard in the master bedroom and finished wall boarding the whole thing! That means the only thing we have left to wall board is one more bedroom. Of course there's still plenty of other work to do (plastering, painting, flooring, soffets on the garage, painting trim outside, finishing the porch, building the deck, etc) but we are definitely making progress. If this stays up, we should be in the master in no time!

Cocoa has been moving her litter box out of its corner; not because she wants to go somewhere else, but because she must like the carpeting better than the box. We haven't changed anything in the past few months and we can't figure this out. She has to climb into her litter box to go behind it. It doesn't make sense. We now have it wedged in the corner so she can't move it and she goes in it just fine. She also killed a moth the other day but has yet to eat it.
