After a lot of to-ing & fro-ing, the animal transport company and I have come to a compromise: I am still flying out Monday, Scout is still flying out Wednesday, but now my next door neighbour is taking Scout for a couple of days, and THEY (Pets on The Move) will pick her up and THEY will take her to the vet for this last check. So that crisis has been averted.
I’ve had the car in for an oil change and either engine oil in the UK is more expensive than gold, or I was seriously taken advantage of by the mechanic. Ah well. I had intended to take the car to car wash & vacuum, but my cousins, who are buying the car for their horse-mad daughter’s use, assure me that it will be full of straw, hay, mud, and worse within no time. So that’s another major task ticked off our list.
Now I’m sitting at my desk cancelling my cellphone plan, my car & renter’s insurance, my fitness centre membership from Orkney (maybe I should have cancelled that one some time ago – oops), and changing my address with my bank.
This afternoon: clean and assemble the dog’s kennel, and continue packing. (This evening? Wine.)
Sorry you are going through all of this, but it will be so worth it when you are amongst us again.
Are you coming to the holiday dinner?
