Chilling in the Chair

We have been working hard at our house to get lots and lots of projects done - some big, some small, some hired, and some we did ourselves.  I would say we are nearly finished with everything, but one thing I've learned about home ownership is that there are always projects to do.  That said, we are close to finishing up with the things we intend to get done right now, so I'm hoping the rest of summer break can be a bit more relaxing as we enjoy the fruits of our labor.  😊

Glorfindel is getting quite old now.  He's definitely slowing down, but still loving life.  I'm enjoying spoiling him more and more.  💙

I think Míriel is calming down a bit.  She's fully adjusted to her life here and seems to be understanding the routines.  She still gets very excited when the lid of the tank is open and immediately tries to reach for the sides to pull herself up and out.  She's very determined and surprisingly strong at lifting herself up.  I have to pick her off of the lip of the tank and set her back down in it about 50 times every time I clean out her home.  She's a stinker but I love her.
