Catching up
I’ve been hearing from friends from around the country, checking up on me. As one said, it shouldn’t take a hurricane to pick up the phone and say hello. My exercise place is still without power. I’ve had a good bit cleaning up leaves, twigs, etc., but not as much as using the various machines.
Wednesday I let my old dog, Shady, go. She had been losing ground rapidly. She was struggling to endure and seemed increasingly uncomfortable. I couldn’t prolong that. Would that I could count on being treated with as much consideration. The bulldogs don’t get along with each other but each got along with her. She was their mentor from the time I brought them home as 10 week-old pups. As I’ve seen before with others, they still look for her and are very subdued. I’m going to see if I can get them to get along better since there’s no backup for either one.
Talked to more people today who still don’t have power. Grocery store check-out lines reflect fuller baskets than normal, replacing much of what they had to throw away when the power was off. Cooler here and dry for a few days.
