The weather is so balmy and beautiful this week - very intoxicating. I know I am on vacation but the drive to get things done is plaguing me. Nevertheless I have managed to stay up late watching movies until I can't keep my eyes open any longer. A couple of favorites this week have been, The Holiday with Jude Law, etc., and Casino Royale. Gosh, that new Bond is growing on me. Must be those blue eyes and that cute little hard body. He could give an old lady palpitations! I grew up with Sean Connery as 007 and thought he could NEVER be replaced...but we have to go with the flow. Last night it was The Holiday that kept me up. I would sleep on the sofa but the two end cushions have been chewed up by doggies and I filled the holes with my only blankets left. I would have to pull the dogs off the sofa to stretch out, or put my legs on top of them, and that wouldn't be comfortable for them or me...so I haul myself off to bed. I have one of those high colonial beds which requires climbing a little step ladder. It keeps all but the fittest dogs off the bed. Even little Izzy asks to be lifted up (he's the only one I help). I had a nice talk with Mia yesterday. She's so excited about going to LV. Her best friend Lisa is coming from Long Beach, Ca. to visit her in LV. They have plans to sneak into a casino to swim in one of the pools. I don't think they will have a problem - two beautiful blondes in the pool is always an asset. I can count on Mia to tell me everything that's going on with the family including AJ in his new chaplain job, Hannah and Luke in school and activities, Eric and Annie in their jobs, etc. She's been on duty for three 12-hour shifts in a row, with patients doing all kinds of crazy things, so I'm happy she will have a chance to de-stress and have fun. I am finished with the bag I made for a nice lady who's been so patient. Now I can start on Mia's new curtains and duvet cover. I can't stand this gorgeous fabric, a gift from Sally Campbell, being kept in a box any longer. I plan on taking bunnies outside to harvest some angora today, too. I let Miss Mamie out of her pen last night. I'm not even sure she is pregnant, although I saw Horatio mount her several times. I was trying to beef her up a bit, and avoid ketosis. She sure did enjoy the extra grain and hay. With this glorious weather, I just had to let her go so she could get outside.

I'm glad you're enjoying your vacation! Your time off sounds like heaven! Be sure to give yourself a little you-time, away from the animals.
