ETA: I am officially going off the grid now. Thanks for all the support, you guys. I really, really, really appreciated it.
Five and a half hours and then I am (hopefully) out of here. I will be back home in approximately 26 hours. I’ll see you then.

I’m glad you’re on your way home. I’ve sort of been keeping up with you from afar(lots of stuff happening here on teh home front,including but not limited to a new puppy coming to live with us next week)and have been worried about you.
Here’s a (((hug))) when you need an extra one.
Hooray for Wifi. At least it allowed us to get a word in edgewise, when the voices of the ignorant threatened to drown your spirit.
A Mom Anon, thank you for the hug. I’ll take all the support I can get. And, congrats on teh new puppeh! A GSD mix, eh? I expect to see pics at BJ!
Choolie, no kidding. I don’t know how I would have survived this trip without my connection to y’all from around the world.
