Shortest post ever!

It's been one heck of a week. With 9 hours of sleep under my belt and more caffeine in my blood than a Seattle Starbucks, I finally feel human again. Tonight I will attempt to pack. And NEWS FLASH! While in Honduras I am restricted to wearing shorts that cover my knees and tops that cover my shoulders. That means no tank tops. And I have a tank top obsession. Luckily I've found refuge in some fabulous $8 v necks from Target.

So I'm leaving 2 1/2 days and I haven't packed a single thing..

Why is that?

Well my precious dog, Maddox, ate a corn cob sometime in the past week and had to have it surgically removed yesterday. Yes.....corn cob, rectum (actually intestines) but you get the joke. It's been a long 4 days. 

On top of that, I am also helping to coordinate a 4-day event for prospective companies and consultants coming to town next week.

But in the midst of all this chaos, there is much to be thankful for....

Thanks to Cleveland Park Animal Hospital for taking such great care of my boy!

Thanks to everyone for your kind words and prayers for Maddox and I over the past few days.

Thanks to the good Doc that talked me off the ledge a few weekends ago and  then went on to research the best malaria options for me. I promise to be a good roommate next week.

A bigger thanks to my parents just for being who they are. They opted for me to receive the good (expensive) malaria pills so that I won't be experiencing major gastrointestinal distress for the next six weeks.They are always there for me, even if it's 4am and I'm crying because Maddox is throwing up again.

And an even bigger thanks to my Aunt SuSu. She has volunteered to drive to Greenville and spend the week with Maddox. Aunt Pitty, as I often call her, is a great caretaker and a dog lover (among many other things) so I couldn't ask for a better nurse for the "Mad" man.

And to my coworkers, who have been so supportive and caring. They didn't even make fun of me (at least to my face) for being in the office yesterday with no make up, dirty hair and reeking of dog vomit. It's great to work for a team like ours! (We're hiring, by the way)
