Monday, June 10, 2024 – Travel Day Back to Charlotte, Happy 35th Anniversary!

Hey Sweetie!
Glad to have had another good night sleep, so even though I got up early, I felt more refreshed. I'm still a long way from 100 percent, but I'm improving. Had a quick breakfast, ordered a Lyft and got to the airport in plenty of time. The flight was uneventful and on time, watched a movie and even arrived a few minutes early. Lugging that big duffel bag around has been problematic, not sure what I was thinking on that! Truck started up, no problem, for which I'm glad, I was worried it might not, and I forgot to bring my little charge with me, glad it wasn't necessary. Stopped for fuel on my way back so I wouldn't have to worry about it, and arrived well before nightfall. Was very happy to see Lola (and vice versa!), though all her feet seem to be getting more and more odd-shaped, like she's getting serious arthritis in her toes. I made sure she got her antibiotic, and I'll take a closer look tomorrow to see what I can find. I'm so exhausted, my plan is to do nothing but laundry for a couple of days. I was a bit alarmed when I got back to hear a strange noise, and finally figured out it was the water pump, with no water in the tank. Heaven knows how long that's been going on, I'm just grateful it didn't burn out the pump! I filled up with water, since I'll need to shower tonight, then settled down to a bourbon and a cup of Sleepytime tea. I've started a new series on Prime from SyFi called Warehouse 13, so I watched one episode, but I'll be heading to bed soon. I fully expect to sleep late, despite the time change, and I'm sure it will go a long way toward getting caught up. At least, I hope so! Good night, babe! Happy 35th anniversary! Love you!
