suitcase living
To briefly recap where I've been since last post:

First there was the solo trip to Nashville, which was entertaining and informative on several levels. I didn't think about this in advance, but this was the first time I'd been out on my own in seven years. Turns out the trip was much easier than I expected, and reintegrating with my normal life was harder.

Then there were a hectic few days at home and work, followed by another week in a motel, much less comfortably, while further house renovations commenced. (I'll have photos in a day or two.)

Turns out Sammy? Doesn't travel well. Dog was brilliant, not a bit of trouble. Cat was desperate to get OUT OUT OUT of this strange small room, and let us hear about it at top volume. Almost non-stop the first night, and then at regular intervals for the six days thereafter. Sleep? Not so much.

Never. Again. Next time, cat gets a cage in a kennel.

Also, about three weeks ago I decided to start a new project, so most of my non-sleeping, non-working hours lately have gone into that. I brought it online tonight, beating my arbitrary self-imposed deadline by a week. That's what obsession will do for you.

Now I have to go do laundry.

The only times I ever traveled with a cat (as opposed to driving one or more cats to a new home), I was traveling with a kitten that was too young to leave on his own while I was gone, but was old enough that I could leave him in my hotel room while I took care of business.

The only thing that Friday hated about the small room, thankfully, was me not being in it. The sound of his paws drumming across the carpet whenever I was at the hotel room door is still vivid in my memory, and still makes me smile to think about it.

Yeah, Misha was that way. He was okay pretty much anywhere as long as I was there too.

Sammy, however, is clearly much more a creature of environmental habit.
