Sisterly road trip sounds fun!
I am so bad at getting work done when I don’t have as much to do. If I’ve got tons to do I’m powering through it but if there’s nothing urgent it’s hard to make myself do any of it.
Plumber is supposed to be here between noon and 2–hoping it is what I think, and not anything more complicated/expensive. Though I do need a new hot water heater any day now.
If a tankless water heater is an option, I love ours.
Laura - Have you flown with a cat before? TSA may ask you to take the cat out of the carrier which can be "interesting" in a crowded, noisy airport.
Deploying Marines on civilians. Greaaaaaat.
Anyone else got the I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die rag in their head?

This will be a first for Scully! There won't be anything else in her carrying case. I'll have a harness on her and have a kitty leash, but hopefully they will do the inspection in a privacy room, which would be easier than having her out with a zillion people. A new experience, but I have to think easier than the road trip with about 30 hours in the car.
Chatted with a co-worker this morning who is back from a long weekend spent at Disneyland, Venice Beach, and Hollywood. Neither of us felt we needed to mention riots or unrest or whatever, she had a lovely time.
Laura - A leash will certainly be a help for controlling Scully. My sister flew home with one of my mom's cats and did not realize what she was getting into. Hugger was not happy. Neither was Charlotte, for that matter.
Last time I flew with a cat was, jeez, 40 years ago? Can that be right? Anyway, kitty valium was a very good thing, as I recall.
It is going to be an experiment, so I hope it works out. I appreciate the advice. I'm going to stop at the pet store on the way home tonight and see if there is a better harness/leash option than the one I have.
Each previous trip, and she has had a lot of them, she was always silent in the carrier until it got dark outside, then she would cry. That was when I changed to 3 days so we could get into hotels before it got dark. It will be so much easier if flying works for her.
