Welcome Back!...to me?

Well, y'all, I've almost survived the past few weeks.  They have been TRYING to say the least.  I'll give you a small taste:

• Each week, I've worked 60-70 hours.  Ouch.  But next week is super light, so I'll get to prop my feet up a bit.
• Pepper had a HUGE medical scare.  She stopped moving, basically.  The vet initially thought it was cancer, but after lots of tests and prayers, she was diagnosed with disco-spondylitis and arthritis in the hips.  That long word means that her vertebrae on her backbone try to fuse together, and when they do, it can break and cause a lot of pain.  I'm coordinating her care between here and Israel, so we're back on track.  And this pug mommy is so relieved that her baby is okay!
• I FINALLY have a court date for my divorce to be finalized in about two weeks.  There was a huge mix up at my lawyer's office (and she graciously took responsibility for it, so I still like her ;-)), and I could've been out of here on my original date of June 18th, but we're going to chalk this up as an "everything happens for a reason" moment.  Basically, I'll know my departure date by the end of June.  Exciting times are ahead!
• Finally, I'm getting ready for a massive garage sale with my best friend, Christina.  Now I have extra pressure to get everything out and gone, as leaving is now in the foreseeable future as opposed to up in the air and no idea.  

Hopefully, since all of this is settled, I can start writing more.  And REALLY getting ready for the move.  So exciting.  So scary.  Can't wait!  We'll talk soon.
