To recap: Sarah and Miso flew out to Ohio a couple
of weeks ago, then
Sarah went on to Philly while Miso stayed behind with my
in-laws,
waiting for me to catch up by land. Today we
completed the cross
country trip together, a full day of driving so I
did my best to set her
up for the journey with food, water, treats,
litterbox, and her favorite
blanket. She's a seasoned traveler, no need
to confine her to a box,
but the ride was bumpy over Pennsylvania's
potholed highways
and I think she got hot, so she retreated
to her litterbox
at about the halfway mark, slept as best she
could
but kept getting jarred awake by crappy
roads.
It was a taxing day, capped by miles-long
traffic backup once we hit the city proper,
all thanks to a
single disabled vehicle in the
center
lane. We were both kind of grumpy by
the time we arrived, and I felt bad about
it. I
told myself to force a smile for Sarah,
because
I'm pretty sure we remember our actions
more than how we felt at any given
time, but I'm afraid I fell short and
let my irritation show. Anyway, we
made it, both of us eager to sleep it off.
