I'm checking in from our motel room, twelve hours or so after we first woke up. Much of the day has been spent packing perishable foods in the special bags, figuring out what to take along with us (which is probably ten times too much), and hauling seemingly endless bags and a pair of suitcases and a wheelchair and a portable commode from Point A to Point B. Of course it would have to be during the hottest day of the year so far! It felt like Murphy's Law was definitely in play in that regard.
Before the grand haul, we took the cats over the special "pet hotel" in Petsmart. We gave the staff their food and said goodbye as they were whisked back to their own Kitty Cottage. Pippa once again protested all the way, while Inkblot was calm for most of the trip, until he realized there was a Doggie Daycare nearby, with a lot of dogs present. Then he started growling and expressing his displeasure, but he was soon whisked back to the cat section to be with his sister. We won't be able to visit them, but that's probably for the best, as that would only confuse them all the more.
We stopped at the Mexican restaurant next door to the facility and gratefully had dinner between the first and second trips to the house. We will be headed back tomorrow morning to hand off a set of house keys to the fumigators so they can gain the necessary access to the house. Himself is already vowing to stop by frequently to keep an eye on events.
I will definitely be sleeping soundly tonight.
