My partner's out of town visiting friends... what better time to redecorate the house, right?

First came the aquatic gel clings on the bathroom mirror. Cub *finally* started carrying something summer-themed that didn't involve American flags, and thankfully it was fish and other sea creatures (along with some beach stuff, which will go on the glass divider of my cube at work). Our bathroom has an aquatic theme... not so much because there's water in the bathroom, as I suspect rules most people's decisions to put fish decor there, but because it's painted a hideous wedding mint aqua and I find that brightly colored fish make it look kind of cool and intentional.

Yesterday my parents came over to give an assist (okay, Dad did almost all the work) in replacing our dining room lamp with a ceiling fan. Room desperately needed some air flow, and the cats were the only ones who didn't constantly bang their heads on the old lamp. Looks awesome, works great, and the grey cat is scared senseless of it.

I hadn't expected this; usually he's the fearless one. The other cat doesn't seem perturbed by the addition.

Huh.

We've finally gotten to the point, after much coaxing (and some treats which he bolted down and promptly threw back up) we've decided that the fan is okay if it's not doing anything. Running, however... different story.

All things with time, I guess.
