one inch of snow fell tuesday afternoon, which resulted in lots of slow traffic (thankfully, most every one was trying to be mindful of slick roads and the car in front of them), and thus a late arrival home feeling exhausted.
luckily, rory had learned the 'happy birthday' song in daycare that day, so i had entertainment all the way home.

yesterday, pearly must have found something that even dogs can't digest and ended up pooping on the living room rug and stairs last night. poor thing, this morning she obviously still felt sick PLUS she definitely was feeling guilty about the whole poop situation. she wouldn't get out of bed to greet us all morning, which is highly unusual. she would just look up at us without lifting her head up and there was no tail wagging to be done. po' puppy-hope she's better tonight.

we have a retirement luncheon today for a person in our work group who has been at dartmouth for 23 years, and working with the same doctor (who i work for as well) for 19 of those years. planning the party and everything else has definitely been a fun work distraction, but it has worn me out. i'll be glad when it's all happening and we're just eating and having a good time.

we're taking a trip up to burlington tomorrow, to visit some friends who moved up there this summer (among other things). i'm super excited to see them and just to do something different and take a little road trip. hurray!
