This has been a rough week to be honest. Something is up with Luna and she doesn't want to walk or really go outside, so we are headed to the vet tomorrow. I have a proposal due at work next week, so this week has been full of meetings. I haven't been able to see mom in over a week because of busy-ness like work and taxes. Someone I know just entered hospice and another friend might be saying goodbye to a beloved pet. And its April 16th, and the memories of the Virginia Tech tragedy linger, with the addition of the terrible news of the former lieutenant governor of Virginia killing his wife and then himself late last night. Its a lot.
In the midst of all this, there are still things to be grateful for, and I do try to look for them even when I'm sad and overwhelmed.
- - My azaleas are blooming spectacularly, a blaze of color in my yard.
- - It's been really warm the last few days and I had a lovely evening reading in my hammock tonight
- - I think I really like Terry Pratchett. Mort is the first book I've read in Disc World, and I'm excited that there are so many others to read.
- - I got to volunteer at an indy bookstore in Annapolis last Saturday, helping them sort and shelve books for several hours.
- - I had a really fun evening with Garth and Karen and Kate and Garth's friends on Friday night celebrating his birthday. I think we stayed at that whiskey bar for 5 hours lol
- - I got some short hikes in with Luna on Friday and Sunday. I hope I didn't injure her in the process, but at the time we both enjoyed the warm but not hot weather that was perfect for hiking.
