T - 5h

And my vacation will start! 3 full weeks without having to come to work!

In all honesty, by now I am only counting down time and not doing much. Just ridding it out and pretending to be busy.

Next week I get to fly out to Portugal and finally see my people. See my country. Smell the ocean. Eat good food. Hopefully get some nice vitamin D.

There is a bit of regret for having to leave my kitty here, quite alone when compared to her usual routine. Hubbies nephew will take care of her. He agreed to go over and feed her and clean her litter box and all that stuff. Just hope he decides to sleep over so she doesn't spend so much time alone. Also hope she takes to him instead of hiding for the duration of the trip....

She will be fine. She will be well taken care of. And she will forgive our absence and not to try to kill us as soon as we return. It would be perfect to be able to take her with us, but that will be a struggle for when we move permanently!

Shouldn't feel guilty over leaving her home "alone". It's much better than leave her at the vet hospital, caged in a 3' x 3' cage, surrounded by weird sounds and spaces, while being sprayed with some sort of calming stuff. Home is better. Where she is safe and comfortable!
