Back to Busy, But...

All of a sudden, life is getting busy again. Bill is leaving tomorrow for Illinois to see his dad through another round of medical tests, then he is due in Philadelphia on Monday for another week of work on the USNS Pollux.

I would consider accompanying him on his travels, but then there's the little matter of my having a job now. I knew this was going to be trouble! This morning I have a dental appointment, then I'll go straight to work at noon, and not be home until tonight.

And there's always plenty to do around here--the garden needs to be put to bed for the winter, the leaves are a constant clean-up chore, and the basement is a mess again. The dishes and laundry are constant, and something always needs to be fixed.

There is no dog hair to vacuum up.

Last week, Mr. Professional Carpet-Man came and cleaned all the rugs and furniture. I still find Echo in my knitting and on fabric items in the house, but there are no more dog-hair tumbleweeds rolling across the carpet.

I am still sad.
