All I can think about today is food. (steak) I am not sure why I’m so freakin’ hungry, but I am. (spaghetti) Or at least I think I’m hungry. (sushi) I could seriously go raid the work fridge right now and just chow down. (smashed potatoes) Except that a.) none of the food in there is mine and b.) most of it no longer resembles food. (chili) Although at this point, the lack of edibility isn’t really a strong deterrent. (nachos)

As I’m tucking her into bed tonight, for the second time (potty break!), Zoe tells me this:

Sometimes, when you’re having a bad day and you learn something shitty (that, it turns out, you probably really knew all along but just hadn’t admitted it to yourself…again), all it takes is this to make everything better. It’s not just a little yellow flower. It’s the love that goes with it. It’s the joy of being “mommy” to someone. It’s the awesomeness that comes with being someone’s world. It’s the humbling responsibility of knowing you hold her hopes and dreams and love and life in your hands and your heart.

I love photo booths. Love love love them. There are several issues with this: a.) they are few and far in between these days and b.) they’re usually ungodly expensive.

Okay, I got my states mixed up. Hell, they’re all so small and crammed together up here that it’s no wonder. Today I hit clinics in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. For a Midwest girl, that’s a wonder confined only to road trips with sparing potty breaks. I think we’re going to Connecticut tomorrow, but don’t hold me to it.

Many apologies for not posting last night. Being up since 3:30 a.m. and not getting to the hotel until 8:20 p.m. made for a very tired girl. I landed around lunchtime here, so we grabbed a quick bite at Panera (love you, Stef!) and then started hitting clinics. Visited about four before heading to dinner with a prominent local vet who has his own radio show and would like to start featuring us about once a month. The dinner was wonderful (we ate here)…being on the east coast I had to get seafood. Rare, rare yellow fin tuna (is it still flippin’? good.) with a wasasbi mayo sauce on the side. Yummy. My fillet was absolutely huge. I’m still trying to wrap my head around how big the whole fish would have been. Conversation was great…it was a good way to spend two and a half hours, but man, I was freakin’ exhausted by the end of it.

Heading out tomorrow, on the 6:35 a.m. flight to Chicago. From there, I hop on over to Providence, Rhode Island. I find it ironic that my first business trip with my new company takes me to exactly where M goes for most of his business trips these days. That’s piled on top of the heaping coincidence that we both work for the U.S. subsidiaries of French conglomerates.
