The Days Roll By: Moving My Brother and Other Tails

I woke up this morning feeling like crap. Literally. My stomach was so upset for about three hours. But as I sat in the bathroom, miserable, my furry friends kept me company and that always makes me feel a little bit better.

The stomach upset, I'm sure, is the direct result of our misadventure yesterday. Leaving poor Wally in the backyard (he has free range of the screened in porch and our covered pavilion, so don't think I'm leaving my baby without shelter!), and Anthony in the house, we went to Clemson to help my brother move into his new apartment. Only thing is that his girlfriend also needed to move and she had a dorm room AND a storage unit. So we spent at least 10 hours moving/setting up their apartment. Whew! It was a lot of work, but totally worth it. They helped us when we moved into our house, so fair is fair! And good friends of ours stopped by our house once to check on the animals and feed them, so it wasn't as if they were completely alone all those hours.

So anyway, Mom and Dad chose Bojangles for dinner after we started heading home. I almost said something, because I have gotten sick from there before. But they just pulled in and I didn't want to make waves, so we ate there and I'm guessing my early morning illness was punishment for overexertion and poor dinner choice.

We got home safe and sound to find that despite our long absence, Wally and Anthony hadn't destroyed anything or run away so all was good. Our next big challenge will be Mommy going back to work!
