heading west

planning a trip can be exciting and stressful.
the excitement comes from the prospect of exploring a new place that is so full of history - both cultural and environmental. the stress comes from figuring out how to take care of things on the home front while you're gone. leaving my little furry girl behind... saying goodbye to friends and family... and the boy for x number of weeks... and leaving with the mind at ease that everything and everyone will be ok and in good health upon return.

if anyone knows of a good housesitter - shoot me an email.
ugh.
