home!

I have been home for nearly two hours and have been taking care of a few essential tasks (including saying hi to the 10 baby rats born yesterday!) I am now very close to falling over, possibly for the entire day. My tummy's still upset, and I'm hoping that returning to a normal diet and cutting way back on the coffee again will take care of the problem.

Tally (rounded off):

Day 1: 2 p.m., Fern Park, FL to 9:30 p.m., Lumberton, NC: 500 miles
Day 2: 9:30 a.m., Lumberton, NC to 10 p.m., New Haven, CT: 700 miles
Day 3: 5:00 a.m., New Haven, CT to 7:15 a.m., home: 150 miles

I think I could have done the drive in two days had I gotten an earlier start on Day 1.

I did, in fact, fall over for the entire day, except for getting up for a late lunch. Around 8:30 p.m. I went to the grocery store, and got back just as deguspice's parents showed up. They are spending the night and taking the Very Large Dog away in the morning. I am officially Not Speaking to my father-in-law because of his riduculous and unsafe attitudes about dogs vs. humans. (Which is to say: IMNSHO, dogs need to be trained, all dogs. Jumping up on people isn't OK. It is not deceptive to train a dog basic commands and not give it a treat every single time. Sophie is NOT a "special" dog for whom the rules can be broken.)
