I&#8217;m a pretty adventurous sort, normally utterly unfazed by travel and novelty and cheerfully willing to go on extended away missions, but this time I got barely a lick of work done on my laptop &#8211; I found myself aching for <em>my<\/em> desk and <em>my<\/em> computer and <em>my<\/em> routine.<\/p>\n<p>Not just me, either.  Cathy was working hard on not complaining but she was looking rather pinched and drawn by day two.  I think of the three of us our cat coped best; by the time we relocated her from the frigid shell of Chez Raymond to my mother&#8217;s house on Day Three her attitude was clearly &#8220;as long as beloved humans are nearby, I&#8217;m OK&#8221;.  <\/p>\n<p>Sugar is so amiable that it&#8217;s easy not to notice that she&#8217;s as tough as old boot leather.
