i get by with a little help from my friends

My friend Cathy on the east coast sent me this mug.

TheMostImportantGuy is working from my house for the next few days so I can go to Sock Summit.

Robingail of the comments (who I also know in real life, from overlapping circles, knitting and dance) is coming to dog-sit and give TheMIG a break on Friday so he can go to the office.

My mom has made herself available if anything comes up over the weekend.

My vet is there 7 days a week, should problems arise (but the dog is looking good lately! huzzah!).

KarenTheDancingLurker is taking care of dance class this week, even though we're in the middle of a performance series with our students (and ourselves).

My friend TheBon is putting me up in Oregon and tour-guiding me around through Sock Summit.

My friend Lorena of the comments sent me buttons that I can wear at Sock Summit so her compadres and I can all try to spot each other.

And all of YOU have been so wonderfully supportive here lately...



...honestly. I don't know what I'd do without all of you.
THANK YOU!!!

Tomorrow I drive. LOTS.
