⚡ Energy: Cleaning Tornado Meets Slightly Delusional

💝 Status: Exhausted but Ready

🫣 Outlook: Tomorrow = LIFE CHANGING

Today I turned into a full-blown cleaning tornado…because tomorrow is THE day. Miss Maizy is (hopefully) coming home! 💗

And listen…when you’re bringing home a tiny 5-pound queen who has been through what she’s been through, you don’t just tidy up. Oh no. You go full “HGTV meets crime scene cleanup.”

✔️ Vacuumed
✔️ Swept
✔️ Mopped
✔️ Carpet cleaned the oriental rug by the front door (because first impressions matter, obviously)
✔️ Washed every throw rug in the house like I was prepping for a white glove inspection

Basically, if there was a smell in this house, it has officially been evicted.

The goal? Eliminate any “previous tenant” nature break smells so our girl doesn’t get confused. Her foster parents said she’s been doing great with puppy pads AND going outside, so I’m trying to set her up for success and keep that consistency going.

Because let’s be honest…this girl has had enough chaos in her life. We are now Team Calm, Clean, and Slightly Overprepared.

Plot twist for tomorrow:
We are bringing Gidget with us for the official meet and greet. Because let’s be real…she is the boss, the judge, the jury, and the final approval committee. 😆🐾

So as long as Gidge gives us the nod of approval and everything goes well…
I won’t just be coming home with one baby girl…

I’ll be riding back as a full-blown passenger princess with TWO little loves in my lap. 💗🐾💗

By the time I finished all of this, I was DONE. Like… “sit down and question all life choices” level tired.

But tomorrow?
Only one job.

Ride to Seattle.
Trust the process.
Bring our girl home.
