So, my boss, Ray, has been sick all week. Shingles outbreak. Worst in years. He's been out since Wednesday. Poor guy. Everyone here at the firm sends their best. He wants to come in on Monday to see me off for my Vegas trip. They're sending Ruth, the head librarian from the New York office, to come in next week, since Ray doesn't know if he'll be up for it. Damn. We really do need a third person. Hopefully after we move the office this summer, we'll get someone. I've been on my own, which isn't bad, but really eats up time and energy.

The good news is, the Reiki that

odilla sent me all the way from VA last night helped immensely. No back pain! It was weird -- I didn't even know she was doing it. Right before I fell asleep, my whole body got intensely warm, especially the lower back -- the sciatica disappeared and the lumbar pain vanished. This morning was one of the few in which I've woken up without any pain at all. *big hugs to Kim* Girl, I'd ask that you do this more often, but I don't want to tax your energy. I wish I could do Reiki on myself.
And thank you for working on Adam, too. I don't know if he felt it, but I'm sure it helped.

It's Friday. I'm so happy. I'll see if I can go to Charlotte's tonight, maybe stay over until Saturday. It's supposed to get unseasonably warm. Maybe we can go shopping and do girl stuff. Besides, I miss the kittens, Baby and Buster. And we still need to get Tuesday more acquainted with them and Shadow. Especially if we're going to be living there, which is still a possibility. Tuesday has such a dominant personality. I wish she'd just learn to be friends. She played with Buster all day the last time Charlotte brought them over. Then again, it was on her own turf.

Adam will be starting the long drive home today. I'm going to send out a few quick thoughts for a safe trip. I may or may not invoke Hermes -- if I do, I'll need to word things very carefully, as was cautioned in

nonfluffypagans. The tale that princekermit told in that thread is especially interesting! Careful what you ask the gods -- they'll give you exactly what you want sometimes, but only what you asked, not what you implied! *grins*

Gods, I'm so looking forward to seeing him. Naturally! I'm still so in love it's scary. I fall in love with him a little more every day. As it should be.

And then... VEGAS, BABY!
