Jan. 4th, 2009 04:15 pmGetting home wasn't too difficult. We didn't hit bad roads until yesterday. Some of them were unpleasant, but most were not too bad. We needed to dig out a little before we could get the car in the driveway (it's still sticking onto the sidewalk, but that's a problem for tomorrow). The snowblower we picked up in Indianapolis worked like a charm.
Walking upstairs past Vandal's normal sleeping location made me lose it for a while. I was also hurting from the snow removal and unloading the car and cold, so I was more vulnerable that I realized. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Our vets were wonderful -- they sent a lovely condolence card that undid both of us for a little while.
Sable is very happy we're back. She's realized Vandal isn't here -- she's been alternating being all over me and all over Julia. Right now, she's on Julia's lap (somewhere she's never really been able to be) because I wouldn't let her keep pushing the computer away. And Sable is shedding like crazy! I think that's because she had the Elizabethan collar on while I was gone and she couldn't clean herself.
Well, I need to bop downstairs and check on the condition of the things we brought home. I cleaned up in the pottery department -- two pieces from my sister, two pieces from Julia (from the same place as my sister's), one piece from Julia's paternal aunt and uncle (for both of us), two pieces from a cousin (for both of us), one piece from another cousin (for both of us) and one piece from Julia's maternal aunt and uncle (for both of us).
