ok, now this project is complete

I have vacuumed. After 11 p.m. Down to the wire, but, I'm dedicated!

I had to empty the dirt cup twice, and I nearly filled up the hand vacuum getting to the tight spots and around the furniture.

While I was cleaning, I decided it was far overdue to take care of another mess.

Warning: the image that follows is very disturbing. Neat freaks -- look away!

I'm pretty sure that's six years of dust. The cats walk across the footboard and keep that clean, but they aren't helpful about keeping the headboard dusted!

Ah, that's better. I'm a terrible housekeeper.

There are actually cat-claw scratches on the headboard, but I'm guessing that adventure didn't go so well. The footboard is pretty scratched up because of the curve; they start to loose footing and dig in!

Now, if my allergies are all better tomorrow, I'm going to be pretty annoyed with myself!
