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.

Spent some time tonight with adorable (and hungry!) Emma, and her parents. It was so nice to just relax, and hold a weensy baby, and laugh. I only got one decent shot of Emma, so I turned the lens towards some of the cute baby things in her room.

Zoe’s memory astounds me. She brought up the whole Two Hoots incident a couple days ago, which of course made me question my parenting abilities yet again and make a mental note to save as much for her future counseling sessions as for college.

Our cousin, Dan, starred in another play tonight. This time, he was the Centipede in James and the Giant Peach. He makes a fine Centipede.

A long week, and a good one. A week well spent.

Tonight, my little family hung out together and played Elefun, which, after several rounds, evolved into the most fun tickle fight we’ve ever had. At one point, we were all tangled up in each other and I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt.

I write tonight with tears in my eyes and joy in my heart. A few days ago, I posted a story about a woman named Odette, and her journey through pain and suffering, and her hope of reuniting with her daughters half a world away.
