Durga is now three days gone. We are officially concerned, but there was really nothing to be done about it. We had kept her in long enough that she was literally insane, shredding part of the curtains and dashing from room to room, yowling at the top of her lungs. I still hold out hope that she will return.

We're still pretty crazy busy. Old house is mostly empty now save for fridge and garage. As if things weren't stimulating enough, my father, whom I haven't seen in 15 years, pulled into my new driveway with his camper today and is staying over for a day or two. We are also expected to attend a family reunion tomorrow. It isn't that I don't want to go, but damn...we still have a lot of work to do, and we're down to a week to do it in. We've been putting in twelve hour work days the past couple of days, and it is going to be cutting it close to be done at the old place by next Sunday.

Pretty much bedtime now. More as I am able. Thanks for all the good thoughts and words of encouragement.
