For what was a relatively uneventful day, today was gratifying. Jen was in Roseville, so I was on solo duty managing the dogs. Her absence threw them off. Scottie sat up at 6: 20 am and looked at me in a manner that seemed to convey dismay and accusations. "what have you done with her body?" was the look I got. my morning routines were thrown to the winds, but I got up, made coffee and chatted briefly with Tommy as he headed out to work. Knowing that I'd likely spend the afternoon at home with Jen once she returned, I went to the nearby Starbucks to enjoy a cup of coffee amongst other people. I enjoy writing on the remarkable more than I initially expected. I am impressed with both my return to handwriting proficiency and the device's ability to convert my scrawl to type. The forthcoming "Type Folio "will certainly enable a more familiar experience, yet the way it's been working has surprised me consistently. Once I knew Jen was close to home, I returned to be with her, and shortly after, we had lunch with Tommy at Eric's Deli cafe. He seemed to want to go to lunch but was quiet and distant the entire time. I suspect he's possibly preoccupied with a girl situation—just a gut feeling. Jen made dog food. I Made a salad for dinner. Jen picked a date for a breakfast event I dubbed "Spring out of Bed" as a tie-in to the change of seasons at that time, Hopefully. Who knows anymore. The weather is dramatically changing. It's raining and quite windy tonight, and it should be tomorrow too. I am starting to gear up mentally for my return to work at month's end. When I return, I hope to find myself in a better and healthier position. As for tomorrow, I may run up to Icky' if the weather and road conditions are ok, but with high winds tonight, I sus pet I may be better off waiting for Sunday when things will hopefully be cleaned and less subject to harsh winds and rain.
