In under seven hours, I will be taking off on a Southwest flight to Tulsa. Historically, I used to stay up all night before a flight to make sleeping on the plane easier, but the past several times, I have not been able to last. Perhaps, because I was done packing/cleaning before it was time to go to the airport. Or perhaps because my flights were later than they had been in previous years. Either way, I am still undecided whether or not this will be one of those times I pull an all-nighter.
The difference here is that, before my flight, I need to go back to Jeordie's place and get her kittens to bring them over to my neighbor's place because she is going to board them for the few days that I am gone. I don't know whether I am going to continue boarding them until Jeordie & Chad return later in the month or if I am going to bring them back to their own home after I return.
There are several pros and cons of both scenarios, and it's entirely possible that my neighbor will volunteer to keep the kittens the rest of the time as well, which after making such a life-saving gesture, I would certainly allow her.
This afternoon, I looked in on the kittens and Moonpie looked extremely depressed. Neither cat was chipper to see me, but Moonpie walked right up to fresh food and walked away, which was very concerning having put a cat through six daily tube feedings two years ago when he stopped eating regularly. Considering Moonpie is about six months old, I wasn't sure whether he would be able to starve himself for five days without feeling the consequences. On the plus side, I don't need to worry about him while I am gone (and otherwise, I know that I would've worried about him the *whole* time I was gone).
Luckily, I'll be able to rest easy knowing that the cats are in good hands and all the loose ends are tied up. Of course, it's still a question of when I'll be resting.
