Free at last...Okay well for 2 weeks anyway.

Well it is 4 days and counting until I will be on a plane to San Francisco and then on another plane to Australia. I have two whole weeks without the office. I won't have to see the little red VM light or wonder what the "voice" has to say this time. No sitting in the bosses office in silence sweating and thinking, "If I just passed out it would be over".

The "voice" is a running joke in our office. The "voice" tells you to do things and you do what the "voice" tells you to. Immediately.

Anyway, back to Australia. I am going to visit a law school friend who is lucky enough to have a work visa there. She's homesick and I have the southern lawyer's version of cabin fever. I need out...NOW.

I have most everything I need now and just need time to pack. I hope all goes well. The girls have reservations at the doggy spa and the kitties shave a pet sitter coming.

By the way, my beloved casey monster has been diagnosed with Lyme Disease. No idea when or where she picked up the tick. I have not seen one on her this year. I've found plenty on clif. Maybe he picked one up and gave it to her?

I got a real laugh out of what my "Australian" friend said, "Wouldn't it be nice if she could say, 'Mom, Clif gave me a tick and now I don't feel well.'"

She's in antibiotics. Hopefully, it hasn't progressed very far and this will cure it.

Damn! I'm jealous! Are you going to see Jen? If so, say hello for me. I hope the critter feels better soon. Finny is doing really well, by the way. He actually runs on three legs!

Yes, I'm going to see Jen.

I'm glad Finnigan is doing well with his change in lifestyle. Hera wanted to send a get well card, but we don't have contact info for you.
