The day and leading up to it

[ksmith]

Storms last night. King hates thunderbumpers, and spent most of the night with his head under the bed.

As I did laundry last night, I looked up at one of the window wells--the washer and dryer are in the basement--to find a face staring back. Was a toad, trapped in the hot, dry well. I went outside and scooped it out and set it in a damp spot under the hose tap. Reseated the well cover--by the time I turned around, Toad was gone. That's gratitude for you.

Mom may move to the interim care facility today. I didn't think they arranged these moves on holidays, but apparently they do. I will likely drive her there because there are no wheelchair vans available at that time. We'll have help at beginning and end of trip, so it should be ok.

Now I need to eat breakfast and fit in some grocery shopping, otherwise pups will starve.

Poor King! He's having a rough time lately.

We just moved K's dad from a hospital in B.C. to one in Alberta in a camper, in a marathon driving session I've been referring to as a suckfest. So I fervently hope transferring your mother's a cakewalk.

And it's your birthday! I hope there's some delight in the day along with the rest. Maybe some fireworks in your honor?

At least the storms will have kept down the idiots setting off fireworks in their backyards - I'm sure King really hates that.

You can see the interim facility from the window of Mom's hospital room. No more than a mile, if that.

And some blue sky just poked out through the overcast. Maybe things will go halfway ok.

My throat feels funny. A cold is the last thing I need right now. I'm off to down some orange juice and vitamins...

Yup. King *hates* fireworks.

Here's hoping you head it off at the immune pass.

And you can't let the pups starve! Here's hoping your mom's move goes well, and that King doesn't get scared by fireworks.

King is scared. He's hiding somewhere.
