So, we’re leaving tomorrow and I’ll have to take work with me. Bummer.
Well no, really, not bummer at all. I’m delighted.
We’re traveling light, Ed and I. Computers, papers, yes, that. And little else. Backpacks, because there’ll be a lot of walking from one place to the next, from train station to b&b, from one end of town to another.
Where to? Oh, up up and away. Tomorrow we’re catching one flight, then the next and then still another. By Friday we’ll be there.
Today? The usual last minute nonsense. But the sky around us – ah, that was quite pretty.
In the evening, we emptied out the refrigerator and put it into a salad. With cheese puffs on the side. Which Isis decided were worth a crunch. Or two.
But no more. The cat likes novelty. Two nibbles and he’s done. It’s not new anymore.
Isis, you’re so predictably difficult.
He’s going to miss us... Ed says.He’ll have the cat sitter!
Yes, but...A parent’s remorse at leaving the kids. It never goes away.
Back to work.
I’ll try to write en route tomorrow.
Bon voyage, safe travels, happy grading, and all that. Maybe, just maybe, we'll have snow when you return!
ReplyDeleteI love it. From not sure Isis can come into the house, to personal valet service (door at night), to buying cat litter for the cat sitter (what, a litter box has moved in?), to cheese puffs on the table, to parents' remorse at leaving him behind. Did I only think it or did I mention to you this would happen? I have three kitties, so remorse when leaving is very deep.
ReplyDelete"Cheese puffs"... I assumed you were cooking up another delicacy!
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip.
Nina, I can't wait to see where you end up this time and am anxious to see your photos.
ReplyDeleteI did sketch the Polish woman (actually twice). I am a beginner and am not totally satisfied with them, but I had great fun trying. Thanks so much for giving me permission to try her.
