stgulikMy dog Daisy is doing really well on her new anti-inflammatory medication. It's designed to shrink the bladder tumor and let her get back to a more normal lifestyle, and so far, it's really helped. Her strength is back and she even seems to be putting on a little weight. She might even enjoy a trip to the dog park!
Now if only the weather would cooperate. I'm afraid we did not venture out much this past weekend; the temps in Northern California reached 100F. The next person that kvells about "sweater weather" will get a swift kick from me.
While stuck indoors, I've been giving my daughter's old room a makeover. What do you think?
It's still a work in progress. We took up the carpet months ago--the hardwood is a bit scratched but pretty. We moved an old dresser in, as well as the futon. (I don't like the spread on the futon; I'd like a more old-fashioned pattern, I think.) We're going to keep the lavender curtains and walls for now, though I still reserve the right to paint because it's been bloody difficult to remove all the kid-smudges from the flat-based painted walls.
(That's a Time-turner on the window sill, in a handsome display box. I also reserve the right to scrap everything here and turn the entire space into a Harry Potter-themed guest room. So there.)

And may I suggest this for painting the walls? (clicky the piccy)
