YAY!!! Only 2 days left. One to work and one to pack.
AND to do the million other things which need to be done before leaving. Like work. And the cat sitter, get all updated info to him. The plants. Wash clothes. Check that the camera for Anna works. Make notes. Try and foresee what will be needed. Let it all drop and just be.
Feeling so sorry to leave the kittens for such a long time alone. We BTW. have a retired cop as our sitter. He is fully into cowboy stuff. Also his website. Which was almost the reason I did not contact him. But his engagement for animals and knowledge of first-aid made me change my mind. I think they will do as well with him as they can with us gone. Sky was even out and about, playing around him the other day. Right now I’m filling in all the cat info – this time online, hoping that I never, ever, ever again have to fill out forms asking for the same things.
Beginning to feel stressed when working, makes it hard to concentrate on code. Feel I should have another 3 days of only work before leaving. Will not happen.
We need to run some errands, get a backup drive for Anna, get MaxALT, bring our backup drives to the bank before noon, possibly buying a pair of pants or something else. Plus more, but forgot what all.
Let’s get back at entering cat info.

Not much longer!
How fast suddenly the past few months flew by. At first it seemed there is so much time, so much time to finish all these little things: the dragon, The Clan Loop, scanning photos and paintings… and now? I drowned in work – a good thing, mind you – and all of these things once again took the back seat. Next to finishing up the redesign of this site, and also of mStudios and of a few sites for Bear. As much as I love to work a lot, when we get back I will need to reorganize my schedule to be more productive in the given time. But for now, I will try and not fret nor worry but just do as much as I can without over-stessing and then to enjoy the stay in Europe. WOW, it has been 8 years for Switzerland. And 10 years for seeing general family and 26 for Anna.

Now, almost to the minute, it is a year ago that Tricky died so unexpectedly and suddenly under our hands and left us behind in disbelief and dismantled. It was one of my hardest goodbyes. It took me months to find my footing again and to once again be able to socialize with people in my environment.
After a lot of physical work and a special resting stone for Tricky, the additions of Yuki and Sky then was the first step in the healing.
The ways of Tricky were one of a kind and can not be forgotten. It was good to have you with us. Each time I look at your body’s resting place I feel the cut and the loss, but all of it has been made bearable with Sky taking over where Tricky left off.
The young helping to move on. I’m happy they are with us, even Xena thinks sometimes too, now a family of three.
