am awake. Woot. It looks like there is some high wind advisories along my path today. I might cheat a bit across the panhandle and take 40. Still haven't heard from movers when my stuff is expected in LB. A tiny bit stressed about that. Thinking I need to pick up the pace some.

Tons of ~ma to everyone. Pix, if you need to vent, feel free to call me. I'm driving straight roads, no worries. Virtual shoulders and all.

Safe journey today, omnis.

Godspeed, omnis.

Be safe and have fun ,omnis

Between dinner, motel, and breakfast, The Big Texan got enough of my money. The food was good!

Oh, quester- I'm so sorry that things continue to be so tough for you. Much ~ma to you to find something that will get a roof over your head and health insurance. Hopefully the school option will be included down the road too.

Pix, bleh. I'm sorry. Much ~ma for the position you interviewed with, and I'm sorry about all the other pet- and money- related stresses you're going through.

Hmm, we are planning to drive to New Orleans through Strasburg VA and Chattanooga TN next week- should we rethink our route in light of the flooding?

In other bleh news, we brought Taz into the vet this morning because we noticed that he was going into the litterbox every couple of minutes since yesterday evening. They think he might have UT blockage and are keeping him overnight. He didn't seem to be in pain, so hopefully we caught it early. He isn't running a fever, so they don't know that it's a UTI. Poor guy! He's had such a hard couple of weeks and now he's going to be away from us for the night and MAYBE EVEN A COUPLE DAYS if they need to remove the blockage surgically! Ugh.

Omg Nora, next week!!!! That's so soon!

Taz~ma, Nora.

Drive~ma, omnis.

Don't-kill-idiots~ma, self.

Don't-kill-idiots~ma, self.

If only the idiots realized how much effort we expend in not killing them....

Lots of ~ma, quester.

Nora, I hope Taz is okay. I don't suppose your route will come down through NC, will it?
