more to come

Obviously, I have been busy with the new puppy. That, and preparing for my camping trip. If I'm not trying to occupy Puja, I'm packing, and I am woefully unprepared. It seems I'm always doing these things at the last minute.... actually I'm doing pretty good this time, a whole 24 hours in advance.

The good news is that Abu is slowly but surely warming up to her new sister. I currently have them set up in a game of tug. That is to say, abu is stepping on one end of the tug and the puppy is pulling on the other. I never thought of abu as a large dog but this week she seems huge.

I have nothing of substance to say.... I haven't had time to think. Even at work they've got me running pellmell. I plan, however, to do plenty of thinking and reading on my time off and also to write every one of those thoughts down in a *gasp* notebook. This is an activity which I used to do compulsively, but have recently stopped.

I have one week of camping, puppy training, and family braving. I will return, hopefully, wiser and more relaxed...... I may be just the opposite.

I'll see you kids soon. stay out of trouble.
