Lucy is curled up next to me on the couch as I write this, staring out the open balcony door at the light rain that is gracing southern Mississippi this morning.

It’s Friday. Thank goodness!

Today marks the 10th day in a row that I have worked. Tonight, I’ll be making the trek to Nashville to spend a long weekend with my boy before coming back to work again.

I cannot wait, but it breaks my heart to leave my pup behind. Granted, I know it’s for the best because the boy and I will be out and about on the town. And while I know I won’t miss her jumping on my stomach at 4 a.m. to wake me up, I’ll miss simply sitting with her, playing, taking walks and the numerous kisses she gives out throughout the day. And I’m only going to be gone until Monday!

For now, she and I are soaking up some time before I have to go into work and before I drop her off at my friend’s house for the weekend.

So this weekend, you can expect a guest post from my boy, perhaps a post explaining why I miss my dog so much/wish she could travel with me more often (hint: it’s because I’m laaaaaame) and other fun things from the Music City, like me proving I actually exist to many of my boy’s law school friends.

Happy Friday, everyone!
