T Minus One Week to Colin's departure

OK, I think I'm officially in panic mode now!! Colin leaves one week from tomorrow (Wednesday) and we're moving into storage this Sunday. Since I've last written, we have packed about a dozen boxes, rented a storage locker, and found out that if you don't live in the state, you can't buy insurance for a storage locker! (The only way it can work out is if you're an unmarried college student in a certain age range.) Grrr. But, what else can we do? It's not like the stuff can go with us!

We also kind-of got our medications resolved ... since we're switching insurance in January, we can only get our prescriptions filled through December. And, guess what? The insurance that kicks in January 1 is changing their prescription coverage plan and currently has NO IDEA how we're going to get our Rx's filled overseas. Reassuring, non?

On the bright side, Didge has successfully weathered 4 hours straight in his kennel without a meltdown. He's not willing to sleep in the kennel, but he hasn't tried to break out, which is a step in the right direction. At the moment, he is sitting next to me on the couch with a huge grin on his face, completely oblivious to the hell that is quickly approaching for him!

Man, sometimes I wish I could just be a dog!!
