Yarrabyte has clearly celebrated a little too hard again. Must order some more beroccas, they'll need them and I've run out of the hair of the dog.

When Melbcat went to the sunspot in the other room I sunscreened her nose and quickly changed the bedding. Then I took the chance to vacuum behind the bed and bedside table, and re-scrub a stubborn spot where a drink had spilled.

I had to use the loud vacuum and the scented carpet cleaner plus keep the furniture off so the carpet could dry (towels then air). Melbcat came in really quickly to investigate though. She’s stressed about the rearrangement and tried to walk on the damp chemicals 😩

I’ve put a towel down with the furniture over it now and multiple windows and doors have been cracked the whole time to air out the perfume. Oh man it stinks. I have the kitty inhaler ready and will probably keep the fans on overnight.

My back definitely has an opinion about today.
