Phase 1...The Realizing of Mess/Time Frame.

One of my dearest friends came back into my life about this time last year. Next thing I knew, he were gone again (because of trying to work things out in a relationship). I decided to let them be and knew he could always find me again. He did find me again 2 months later and we have talked/shared moments/and done tons of things together.

Well recently he has decided there are things that he needs to do in order to grow in his career and life. I explained to him that I would be in his cheering & support section no matter what his decisions were.

So with that said...I decided I would watch his cat, no matter how long it takes my friend to finish his path. His cat has different characteristics about himself, so much that we believe he thinks he is a human. Being around 3 cats in a previous relationship, it seemed that none of them really loved me or they just didn't know how to show it. But this cat is WAY different. He wants to curl up beside me, go to sleep next to me, talk to me, and other things that I can't even compare him to the other ones.

I still live at home so this is an "if-fy" topic but my decision is firm about it. So instead of accodomating a bathroom to be the cat's living space, I want to use my small living space I call my room his new home as well. I have not really been acustom to keeping/sleeping with my doors closed but the cat will not be allowed to roam freely in the house unfortunately.

As of today...I have 24.5 days to "Cat Proof" my room and my friend move in with a relative (but he can't take his cat with him). (I say .5 because today is half over by the time I will get home .75 LOL...)

So I went a tad out of order but I'm new to the whole blog thing so I will do as I please. LOL

So now come the "Mess" part of the title. My room. There plain and simple...I said it. LOL
I have work on sections of it trying to clean up to put a desktop computer in there some where. I'll just list what needs to be done...or bascially reorganizing:

• crafts supplies
• storage racks
• electronics/tv
• school supplies (condensing)
• paperwork (arranging)
• dresser
• under bed (need blocking because I do not want the cat to get under there in case the bed decides it wants to slide off frame)

Need to purchase:

• carpet runner or rug (so loose hairs with not get embedded into carpet or litter pieces)

Things to make:
I want to make a sort of 2 door type screendoor thing to put on both of my doors that lead out into other parts of the house so I can keep my doors open but the cat get out.
It will be like opening a screendoor to another screendoor but having the other one close behind me before I actually go through the 2nd one. I know its confusing but it has to work or something along these lines. (Trust me when I say baby gates will not work for cats..I already tried that when I was nursing a sick cat back to better health.)

The LEFT one would be using the screendoor with hooks to hang together.
The RIGHT one I would have to make hinges with...
(this process can be done later when the cat is living in the bathroom temporarily because I may not have gotten to this step)

Okay...now just need to figure out where to start...
So tonight...(after gym for about 1hr, picking up a desktop from my friend) I will head home and pick:
paperwork &/or school supplies.
