I leave 8/31 and return 9/23. CCS requires a minimum of 2 weeks and I had enough vacation time to take 3. Plus, I did not want to give my boss a heart-attack by taking more than 3. ;]
And for those animal people out there that keep asking me who is taking care of the cats, the answer is that I am letting them fend for themselves. I’ll fill up the bathtub with water and will leave the door open so they can hunt for food. It should be a good time for them since they will not have to deal with people at all. Seriously though, Tony is taking care of them.
I assumed Tony would be taking care of the cats. But you had a good thought about the bathtub. I’m sure they think they would do well on their own. And they’ll be so happy to see you when you get home.
