Greetings all

I woke up early to light rain and invasion of Venezuela. Lordy. It is now raining heavily. We could have used heavy rain yesterday because a big fire broke out in Arcata and destroyed half a city block or more. Several businesses were lost including a very beloved bookstore. No injuries reported. I saw the smoke and flames yesterday afternoon as I was leaving the studio. I think some apartments were burned as well. Yikes.

So we had good pot roast last night. More for tonight. Not sure what I am doing due to heavy rain but I must at least get to the gym . AWOL for far too long.

CC glad to hear your throat was improving. Good call to not go into grocery. Laying low is the right plan. And glad you are on the waiting list for a pup. A good idea. I looked for Vernor's at the hippie store yesterday but no luck. Get well soon.

Liz enjoy yoga and Justice walk and a maybe less scheduled day. Good enough weather for a beach day?

So I bet Peps is at the Palm Springs dog shows. Sending luck.

We started Black Rabbit last night. Kind of interesting. A restaurant owner gets mixed up in crime.

Happy packing DD.

Sore throat has retreated to a manageable level. I've added more cold symptoms - sneezing, runny nose and a little coughing, but none of it terrible. Enough is enough though. Zero out of 5 stars.

Such interesting balloon patterns today. They were moving in directions I haven't seen them move at speeds I haven't seen them reach and then suddenly end up back where I first saw them. The winds must be eddying. And it was a beautiful sunrise with lots of color. I hope tomorrow I will wake up with no symptoms!

I placed a Safeway pick up order so I don't have to go into the store. So I need to clean myself up to go get that later this morning. And I need to change and wash the sheets. I think my fever sweats bleached my pillowcase! I know some skin products can do that, but I don't use any that I know of. Another casualty of the covid.

Kirby has been bored with my inactivity so he's been destroying toys. He's board certified in the field of squeakerectomies. So that's a mess I need to clean up today.

Did I tell you that I contacted the breeder about a sibling for Kirby? I said that I thought I'd not made it on the waitlist since I hadn't heard from them and the last time I had, they said maybe late summer for a puppy. They answered and said I am on the waitlist still. They have had to outsource studs from other breeders (must have all their girls too closely related to their studs?) and the pairings have not resulted in many puppies. But they think maybe by spring. So I am still in line for a puppy. Eek. Kirby would love it.

So that's all for now. Off to shower!

The weather has more or less bounced back after being in the low to mid 30s in the mornings Tuesday through yesterday. This morning I didn't have to turn the heat on in the house. The high today is supposed to be in the mid 70s with a low in the high 50s. That is more or less normal temperature for January in Florida. It looks like the next couple of weeks will be similar.

All the Christmas decorations were put away yesterday. Always a little bit sad to do. But I won't have to worry about getting it done this week before our next company. DS arrives Friday.

Not sure what is on the agenda today other than the Justice walk and yoga at 10. Maybe go to the beach? It has been a long time since we have been there!

Have a sassy Saturday!

Strange dream! Maybe derived from some television show you watched recently?

I must have had a conservative pediatrician. Despite having impressively large tonsils and having strep a lot, I still have mine! My doctor never called me back today unfortunately...
