First, thanks for everyone’s helpful comments about train travel. I asked that question and then promptly left town, so didn’t get to respond to your comments in a timely way. I’m bummed out that it seems like what we want is almost impossible to find, which is a longer trip where we stay on the train. Maybe we’ll make some sort of combo plan.
Now we’re back and adjusting to the snow. Also adjusting to Zoe, who likes us to be awake 24 hours a day. When we’re not, she expresses her anxiety by standing in our doorway saying “meowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeow.” She doesn’t want anything. As soon as we’re awake she calms down, even though she doesn’t get anything special once we’re up. I am considering making her spend the night on the fire escape.
Now it’s 10am and I’m already ready for a nap.
