We leave in the morning.  Woo hoo!  La Bella Sicilia, here we come!

Spent a couple of hours at the local urgent care today, making sure that my nose/cough/stomach thing wasn’t anything to be worried about and get any needed antibiotics.  Not very impressed with the doc, I’m afraid.  Anyhow, he says it’s just a cold, and the stomach stuff is probably from the other meds.  No prescriptions, but gave me a long list of OTC stuff.  I also switched from sugar-free cough drops to regular b/c I know sugar-free candy can cause…gastric distress, to put it politely.

Laundry in the dryer.  Maybe one tiny last load to do so we have enough underwear. 

Gave each of the Things a necklace today to wear while we’re gone to remind them that we’re always with them, always thinking of them.  Thing One’s has a dog w/a bone, and Thing Two’s has a cat with blue crystal eyes.  They loved them.  Told them when they miss us, they can touch their necklaces. 

Did all the legal stuff — printed out and signed the official “authority to authorize medical care” thing and printed and signed our wills.  Local resident notary notarized them for free (nepotism!).  Kinda weird. 

Well, gotta go take some more Pepto/Immodium, toss in that last mini laundry load and snuggle the Things.  I’ll be checking my email from time to time, and I may get to blog once in a while.  In 48 hours, We’ll be chillin’ in La Bella Sicilia with Zib, the Man, and Kiddo!  Woo hoo!  Arrivaderci!
