Well, we've sort of snuck back in. They corrected the blueness of the stain by slapping a coat of green on top of it; they are using a different brand of stain from the one in the color chart (which is where they told us to pick our colors from, the cheap bastids) that rather than being a forest/mallard green, is more of a khaki/olive color. The result is a lot more muted than I'd hoped. I don't know if they consider themselves finished with the stain or not; I should really hope not because they patched some of the holes and there are big white splotches where the holes were. We'll see.

Since they've said the kitchen, at least, is OK to walk on we just slapped newspapers down in little trails over the rest and returned. It's much more comfortable to be back in our house, though the cats are getting antsy from being locked up in one room. Maya has gotten much bolder about hanging out in the open, so that's a plus I guess. We are making ourselves scarce during the day (easy enough for me since I'm at work) but sleeping in our own bed.

This week is gonna suck. I had a training yesterday, my usual work week, then Dad wants me to come down Wednesday instead of Friday/Saturday- they wanna move early. So I will hop the 6:20am bus on Wednesday morning, and hopefully be back Friday. This works out better, since I took that Sunday off I will have a reasonable amount of time to recover.
