update

I'm tired.  I'm going on vacation in two (2) count them TWO days!!!  I can't wait.  I also have good library books, and new shoes.  Things are looking up.  I have many real things to post about, but right now the idea of actually writing something seems rather daunting.  Instead, I'm trying to get my house cleaned up for bestest bud who'll be looking after the grumpy mass of fat and fur pictured above and get packed for my visit to best friend.  Just two more shifts and I'm THERE!!!
