Guess what's cooking this year?

 Nothing much is getting cooked here. That is for sure. We started our home remodel this February and after stints at a rental home and two airbnb's we are now back home with our cat. Zeus, our cat even had an adventure without us where he stayed with a friend of my daughter for about 7 weeks while were at an airbnb that didn't take pets. So why is there no cooking still? Because the house is not fully done. We sort of forced our way back in once we got PGE to give us power through heartfelt petitions sent to the CEO. We hadn't reckoned that while we could move the big utility company to help us, we couldn't move our contractor that easily! So here we are, in the house with no cooktop, but with oven, with bathrooms some of which has a shower but no hot water etc. We do hope the work will soon be done and we can ease back into the ordinary days of our lives without the daily interruption of workers and dust.
