We’re leaving for a few days to attend my *sigh* twenty-year high school reunion. The house is clean enough that we could die without shame, the stuff is almost packed up, and I’ve been working on attending to the cats’ needs. Leaving cats when you go out of town is so easy – just a pile of food and some clean litter. Of course, being paranoid me, I’ve set up extra litter boxes to ensure they don’t devalue the floors.
Regarding water, I’ve got some of those plastic waterers for Pfennig, but Cricket always gets a nasty face infection when she drinks from those. Tonight I rigged up an all-glass model for her. I’m sure it will sell millions!
That’s right – a board with a hole cut out of it. The mat is there to catch all the water I spilled when testing it out. I’ll be sure it’s full before we leave. (The bottle, not the mat.)
Everybody pray for us! We’re going to try driving the whole way in one shot. I haven’t done that since college.
Dear God, please be with Lloyd and Lauren as they drive all the way (to Colorado?) in one shot. Help them to be SMART drivers and know when it’s time for a break! Also let them enjoy the trip, because that’s half the fun. Amen.
You need to start that Dear Lord Baby Jesus…
I still haven’t seen that movie, and all my friends reference it all the time. I should rent it this summer. I hereby officially put it on my List of Things to Do.
You’ll be staying in with Max for a few days…why not now?
No need to worry. In the improbable event of your unexpected and most tragic demise…
I know what to do with your cats.
(solemn wink)
Maybe that board will become Pfening’s new best friend!
Have a great trip! I hope you can post about it!
we must be the same age… I graduated in ’88 as well. You are a brave woman to be going back!
The best reunions to go to are your spouses – there are zero expectations. After a few of them you get to know all the other spouses and before you know you have your own private reunion.
Have a fun safe trip.
