Julia - étudiante officielle!

We have arrived! Well, we've arrived in Flint, that is. After a very late start, we drove like the dickens and made it into the US in the dark. Julia's been fingerprinted, photographed ("But I'm not wearing any mascara!"), and is now an official international student. The animals have fared rather well, all things considered. We learned that Molson doesn't tolerate the prescription meds meant to calm her - instead, she seemed to be hallucinating while rolling around in her cat carrier. She'll be back on the natural calming meds tomorrow for sure!

I'm exhausted, so I'll cut this one short tonight and expand in another posting another time. We're shooting for Omaha tomorrow with a much earlier start. Julia's already tucked in, Jack's curled up and eyeing me as I type, Molson's burrowed under one of the beds ... and TimBit? He's slowly washing himself perched at the head of the other queen-sized bed. He knows he's the king of our castle. We know it too.
