Note to self: buy Imodium and dental floss and denture tablets and protein bars and straws and travel toothpaste and hair gel and pens. Dramamine at Walgreens. Shut off outside water. Pack passport! And scissors and stapler. And pens.

I forgot to mention that Gracie attacked one of my pillows and pulled the stuffing out. There is pillow stuffing all over the place. This is why we can’t have nice things. I'm going to give up and buy cheap sheets and pillowcases for the bed. I might already have some extra pillows. I bought some inexpensive Eddie Bauer flannel sheets and duvet cover. If I like them, I'll get an extra set of sheets.

Also forgot to mention that I got the dogs a "dog puck" toy, and it was a hit. Both Gracie and Bella wanted it, but Bella got it. I need to get a second one.

Woke up at 7:30 AM. I didn't shower because my clothes were in the dryer and because I had a 9:00 meeting for which I wanted to be on time.

Bella says, “Use your time well. Pet your dog.”

Hmm. I was going to run errands tonight, but I kind of want to stay home and grab a quick nap. I'll need to be out tomorrow to drop off the fur faces, so I could run errands afterward.

Oh! United's site: "The U.S. government plans to restrict flights due to the ongoing federal government shutdown. Our schedule changes for Friday, November 7 and Saturday, November 8 are now in place. Check your flight status to see if your upcoming flight was affected." The flight is still scheduled on time. Yay.

Well, crud. I forgot about my therapy appointment and missed it.

I took a nap and slept until 3:30 AM. Went back to sleep, and the dogs made a concerted effort to get me up at 4:30. I can’t blame them; I was asleep for a long time.

I didn’t notice that the gate was open and Bella got out. At first, she ran away, so I got Gracie inside and grabbed her leash, but then she walked up to the gate to be let in. Good girl, Bella. Fed us all. My stomach is a little upset. I'm going to take a nap.
