The Veterinary Morning

Yesterday, I had a busy morning.
The carrier came out and I went in.
Next thing I knew we had arrived at the vet.
I can smell it a block away.
I waited patiently for the doctor to do my semiannual checkup.

I now have to take arthritis pills.
I am a little too petite, they say, especially since I am eating so well.
So they poked and prodded and took samples and then gave me a pedicure.

It was exhasuting.

Morning came. . .

.   .    . and evening followed

on the day after the election.

Tonight spun out of control in a surreal way.

Perhaps the morning will bring a saner perspective, or at least, hope.

A Vigil

As all the ugliness and viciousness of this electoral cycle comes to an end, at least with he ballots, they gathered to pray not for miracles but for the emergence of an era of mercy, an advent of civility.

Good words, good prayers.

But the real work is waiting already.

All the Leaves are Brown

But the sky was not gray today.

And there were a stubborn few.

Rainy Sick Bay Day

Even St. Francis has a runny nose!

We have been fighting acold/sore throat/ cough/ chills for a few days now.

She keeps me up snorting and hacking.

We started with homeopathy, and now have pulled out all the stops. 

She stayed home from fun today and loaded up on every remedy imaginable.

I am suggesting that she take a nap.  It works for me.
