Head in the Clouds

Well it's been awhile since I updated. My apologies. I haven't been feeling very well, and although I have been up to some exciting things, I have been sleeping during almost all of my down time. This week gave me muscle...or it least it should have. On Monday I moved 30 boxes of meat weighing in at 50 pounds each. Then I moved 30 bags of dog food on Tuesday. On top of that, I feel like there is a fishhook in my throat. The words come out scratchy, if they come out at all.
I gave Chena a bath this morning. Now, she smells less bad but is terrified of the bathroom. Actually, I was really impressed with how well she behaved. She didn't enjoy it, that was for sure but she tolerated it. Nothing like a wet dog covered in soap suds, sitting in a bathtub. I also trimmed her toe nails.
The reason for the bath and the toenails is that Chena is meeting my madre this evening. She's also meeting my dad, but I'm more confident he will like her. My mother is a tough sell. Not that there isn't anything to like about Chena. She's absolutely wonderful. She's even learned to stay and to come which means she can wander around off leash here and there. Mostly she just follows me. I feel like a mama duck.
I would like to post some picture from my time in New York, but I actually havent downloaded my photos to my computer yet. I will try to do that tonight and post a couple. I had a splendid time there. On Saturday night we ate Lebanese food galore and on Sunday we went for a driving tour around Manhattan... I will still tired from my walk. It makes sense now, knowing I was getting sick. We went to Katz's diner and had these honking sandwiches. I sat right where they filmed When Harry Met Sally. So cool! I am drooling just thinking about the Reuben we got, though. And the fries.
yummmmmm.
Oh I can't wait to see my family!
