Later that same day...

Came home for lunch, and spent the time vacuuming the rugs to remove dog hair instead of, well, eating. Fed the guys their lunch. Crossed fingers that when I came home later, I would find that King's tum had remained calm and that no expelled surprises awaited. Much relief in Mudville--all was OK. I then let him and the Mickster out to run around, and King managed to down a chunk of dirt to go with the wad of grass he chomped.

He kept it all down. Ate dinner. He's sleeping now.

I love my guys, but I am looking forward to getting away for a few days.

In other exciting news, my right foot has finally stopped hurting. I broke my own First Rule and wore a pair of worn-out sneakers on Saturday, and managed to strain my arch. Hurt like hell for the rest of the weekend, but a day spent wearing a pair of the good running shoes helped a lot. I don't particularly like the look of jeans with white/bright orange sneaks, but desperation won the day.

Not going up to Madison until Thursday, but I'm going to take Wednesday off to do whatever needs doing. I still don't know what to pack, or which suitcase to use. It doesn't matter as much given that I'm driving, but I'm usually a little more organized by this time.

I get a foot massage as part of my every-week-and-a-half-or-so massage, and it feels so good. I also need to look into exercises, I think. The towel rolls and other things that build up the muscles.
