Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thank you all!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am so glad the covid seems mild David.
I am not even terrified of getting it anymore. I am terrified of dong the work to find a test, or get to a testing place, and then be cleared for work! Maybe I am naive, but since I take public transportation that seems like worse than going to work- running around getting the test. So I hope I get my free tests!
I remember Jesse!

I got my free tests, so I hope everyone’s come soon!
Ugh—had a dog sitter for Rory who was cheap (local college student) but she’s not available. Reached out to another couple who sat him a few times, but previously we were communicating off Instagram, and it was $30/night. I didn’t look at what they were charging on rover because I wasn’t sure they were still sitting (they took down the insta)…and it’s $48/night! Yikes. I’d rather have him stay with people he’s met but that’s a stiff price hike.

I’m trying to sweet talk my brother into coming out from DC to stay with the dogs for a week. It might be working? He loves the dogs and the cabin. And what else is he doing? I have miles for his flight.
Otherwise I know someone I really trust who goes boarding but it will be spendy. She usually charges $80 for 2 though she said she would cut me a break.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
HED IS PASTEDE ON YAY will never be forgotten.
Here there is close and often sketch but not super expensive pet sitting or down in the Palm Springs area and spendy but trustworthy. Although I did realize that when I was boarding two dogs I was paying for a larger kennel TWICE (apart from a $5 'multipet' discount). I am repressing that knowledge because otherwise I would never use them again. However I should just move to Seattle, those prices are way better.

Yeah boarding at an actual dog facility like with where I send him to daycare or something would be like $65 a day. It’s much cheaper on Rover but there’s probably more danger. BUT they messaged me back and sent me their actual insta and so we are on for the previous price! He’s stayed with them a few times so that’s really good, I’d feel bad sending him somewhere super new.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yes, I too remember. Good times. Also, -t, I would like to applaud you for the use of 'young'uns', as all the younger folk these days insist on 'youngins' which just makes me think of funyuns. Funyons? Anyway, thanks.

Beverly, I thought long and hard about how that should be spelled, so I’m very pleased you approve!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
A little Parental Braggadocio:
The Yearbook votes are in, and....
Matilda was voted Most Likely To Bring A Smile To Your Face. (As a Sophomore!)
and...
Most Likely to Brighten Your Day (which seems similar, but I guess the top one includes humor)
Anyway, our daughter has not only an Emotional Intelligence that JZ and I could not have hoped to attain at age 15, she also has Humor, Kindness and Emotional Generosity.
She's just a very good human being.
Or as we like to say (quoting Raising Arizona): "We got the best one!"
(Of course, everybody got the best one, but we truly feel it.)
