Sad eyes for sick puppies.

Bennet is sick.

She seems to be in good spirits, but she asks to go outside about once every three minutes. She smells terrible, and she's drooling a lot. Apparently the latter is a sign of nausea. I think she'll be fine, but that doesn't stop me from watching her like a hawk or, more accurately, a concerned mama.

I wish sometimes she could talk, so she could tell me what's going on. I'm not sure if she got into something, or if she just got the same bug that made Murphy sick a couple of weeks ago. I keep asking, but she just won't tell me anything.

Anyway, I'm staying home today. Church started 7 minutes ago, and I had every intention of going. But then Puppy Face woke me up at 2am and again at 6am needing to go outside, though she never asks to go out in the middle of the night. Now I'm just hesitant to leave her here alone. She's actually under the couch right now. Sleeping, maybe. Her paws are twitching.

I'm sewing on buttons and blogging and thinking about cleaning. This week is going to be insane times seven. Besides working every day except Wednesday when I have to go to Austin, I also will be packing and preparing to move God-knows-where.

I might rent a storage locker to stash my stuff in starting next weekend. That way, if I need to, I can couch surf for a couple of weeks until I figure out what I'm doing. A couple of friends have wonderfully offered their guest rooms, so I know I have places to go; it would just be easier without a lot of stuff.

Some of it depends on Austin, too. If Wednesday goes well, I want to put myself in a highly flexible situation from which I can leave any time. If it doesn't, then I'd rather settle into something a little more permanent (read: mine). I don't want to take advantage of friends' good graces for too long.

Okay...I need to get up and do something now. Luke's coming home sometime this morning. It'll be nice to not be alone in this big old house any more, but I do need to clean it up a bit.

I hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday. :)
