Guilt trip

So here I am at 00:41 - supposed to be packed for yet another work trip and trying to get some rest.

Yeah.. right....

Zara got sore paws - worried.

Can not pack as Macius decided to have a nap on my suitcase....and I feel bad to even think of getting him off

So major guilt trip...all over.... sigh....

Want a job with no travel but may not have a job at all from next week as current contract finishes this Friday

And need a job to feed/insure/look after my furry 5 and my daughter's furry 2....

Life, huh?

    He most definitely is - and so is the rest of them...

    Zara is very worried whenever I pull the suitcase out and before every trip they just stay really close to me.

    When I come back (and am never away for more than 48 hours) they really ARE happy.. love them all to bits.

    petsitter lives in when I am away but hey.. mum is mum ;)

    er - perhaps Macious wants to go with you? that's a rather heavy hint there!

    btw - been meaning to ask, what does the name Macious mean? Ive never come across it before?

    I think it is Polish for 'little match stick legs' ;)

    Got back home only like 30 min ago - took Zara for a pee, fed the lot, sorted litter boxes, having a cuppa....

    Will look at Zara's paws in a sec as right now she is dancing around me and so are the kitties...

    Macius is a Polish name, correct... just a name :)

    No it doe not translate into "wobbly matchstick legs cat with no brain" but that is what Macius is ;)

    Paws fine, welcome was great ;)

    Preparing for next guilt trip next Thursday (back on Friday night) - provided my work contract is extended hahahahah My last day tomorrow so will see - if extended.. travelling again next Thursday

    Those are short work trips but I hate every single one of them....miss my furry lot and feel so guilty about leaving them - despite ensuring they have the best care possible while I am away....

    This is where I stayed last time (Hotel Andersia, Poznan, Poland - if anyone is interested)- and imagine how sad I am when all I thought about was "damn, would be so easy to give Zara a bath in THAT bathroom " LOL
