Todays Progress:

Pardon the mess, but moving is hard.

I brought plant supplies and naked plants and one of my shelves home recently. I managed to put the shelf together and re-hang the lights today, as well as pot most of the naked plants with fancy new dirt. I would give y'all a close-up, but they look pathetic. They were pretty neglected (even by succulent standards), so I'm ashamed of the shape I let them get into. When they get fat and un-limp, I'll be proud to show them off.

P. S.:  Please don't judge my hanging cacti yet. My grow lights just weren't sufficient for their needs, but hopefully these south-facing windows will help them glow up.

Tomorrow I need to get at least another batch of my plants plus the other shelf and lights. I don't plan to keep my shelves full of junk like they are now, but I filled them up purposefully to discourage the cats from trying to get up there. I *thought* I'd stashed a couple of plants somewhere safe overnight and that turned out to be false because we found some leaves in cat vomit and far more plant pieces on the floor than I'm happy about. 😕 That's why the bottom shelf doesn't (and won't) have plants on it. It can hold my dirt bin and supplies and that's fine with me.

I just realized that the outdoor windows are showing a reflection of the room. There is a cat scratchy, our microwave in the middle of the floor because moving 😂😂😂, a rocking, reclining love seat and reclining couch that we threw sheets over so the cats won't mess them up, and the mismatched-in-size cat doors in the kitchen windows. I know it's probably weird to most people, but I think this room is going to be great when we're done. I love having a space for my plants and animals. I'll have to get a photo of the animal houses soon because I think those look amazing and everyone is settling in nicely.

Well, I'm off to do more stuff before I crap out. I just needed to take a break because I've been working non-stop all day and my back needed a rest. I hope you all are doing well. I'm busy, but happy. Can't really complain! ❤️
