Whirlwind

It's only Tuesday, but I have gotten SOOO much done! I am SO glad I decided to give myself this week off!

I am still getting paid, too, which is a comfort. I am actually getting paid for 50 hours beyond what I worked last week.

I just hope that the office remembers to mail my check to me in OKC!!

I saw my gynecologist yesterday, then I made a string of phone calls, and met with three friends, for lunch, an afternoon visit (and a pad lock for the truck!), and then dinner, respectively.

Packed a bit, and took a little nap, in between visits.

Today, I met with another friend for breakfast, did some packing, and made some calls (Jack is scheduled to see a vet tomorrow, the electric is scheduled for shut off, but, ironically, I could not get through to the phone company).

Then, I did a long string of errands. Started at KMart (I was out of packing tape and aspirin), then the health store (I was out of enzyme and fish oil caps), the bank (deposited the coins that were in my change jar...almost $40!!), the dentist office (got my records ordered, and scheduled a cleaning for Thurs.), and, finally, the post office (got the forwarding order submitted).

Two more friends scheduled for this evening, one at a time. NO dinner out tonight, though, which is actually a good thing. I need to eat some of the food I have on hand!!

Tomorrow, Jack goes to the vet at 9:45am for his updated shots, and a discussion about travel sedatives. Fortunately, the office is also open in the afternoon for when he reacts to his shots, like he does every time, and I have to rush him back in.

This is one reason I do not take him annually for his shots. The other reason is that he lives in a top floor condo, and never has ANY contact with other cats, and a long lost friend of mine, who was a VERY good vet, also said that annual shots aren't REALLY necessary.

Anyway, Jack's situation will change in OKC. We will be on the ground floor, in a complex where feral cats roam. He will need to have his shots up to date. He could get out, gods forbid, or one of the ferals could come nose to nose with him in the window. Who knows what kind of diseases they carry??

Then, after Jack and I get home, my sister is coming over to do some final packing, and we are going to do lunch, and maybe a walk in the woods. GODS KNOW, I can use THAT!! (especially because there AREN'T ANY real, deep woods in my area of Oklahoma. Any that exist are all less than 100 years old, man made, and non-native!!).

Then, I have my final client in Chicagoland in the evening tomorrow.

Thursday, the dentist in the morning, and...and....I THINK I have the rest of Thursday OFF....until the evening, when I am having dinner with "massage mike."
Other than that, no outings with friends.....no pressure.....that will be very, very nice. I can do stuff like laundry, and maybe just have a quiet afternoon to myself to rest.

I am beyond exhausted.

Loving that you said "my area of OK."

fwiw, I've moved with a cat twice - both long distance trips. Both times the cat (Vlad once, then Mollie the second time) vomited in their beds, and slept in their litter box. Don't expect him to eat or drink much, and don't worry too much about that.
