Gad, what a day. It was pretty through Virginia, with mare's tails all over a pale blue sky, but it was hellishly hot for November, in the mid-70s. The drive was fine, but Willow threw up twice and it was quite messy (and that's all the details I will impart). I've just finished bathing her and am headachy and a bit dizzy from getting up at 6:30 a.m., although we didn't leave until 8:30. Part of the headache is from getting both sunburned and windburned. (Sunburned and windburned in November. Gah.) The wind picked up quite a clip as we were passing through the pretty valley just north of the North Carolina line. By the time we hit the South Carolina welcome center (which was already closed, which tells you what time we got there) it was clouding over, and it was raining in earnest when we reached the Georgia welcome center and changed drivers from me to James.

But once we got close to the metro center it wasn't raining and it hadn't rained here at home at all.

A load of clothes has just finished. Need to wash a second one. Need to eat something besides dry K cereal (since there is no milk). I'm sick to my stomach because we stopped in Commerce and I had two plain pups (small hot dogs). Urgh. Maybe oatmeal.

We stopped at the Russell Stover outlet in Hickory, NC, for James to get some sugarless candy and he found out they made a maple cream equivalent of their maple cream Easter eggs for Hallowe'en; it's called a Buzzard's Egg. So now I have enough to have a once-a-week treat.
