The vet had a cancellation, so Steve's surgery 
has been moved up to TOMORROW morning.  I am 
fleeing work now so that I can go spend extra 
time with him and his furry brother -- they'll 
get one more big meal of chicken before I have 
to take the food bowl away at 8PM.  And I 
believe I'll sleep on the couch tonight... no 
cats allowed in the bedroom, since my hubby is 
asthmatic, but Steve likes nothing more than 
sleeping on my head if I'm napping downstairs.

This will be happening a lot sooner than I'd 
expected, but at least that means I'll know the 
results one day earlier.  Keeping my fingers 
crossed, and heading for home...
