I decided to keep my dog as i was having acute anxiety, trouble eating, trouble sleeping. My neighbor said my dog wasn't adjusting well either. She said my dog loves me too much and i can't argue with that. She says she's happy to help out more any way she can so things should go more smoothly. I am happy to have my little friend home and all to myself. I really value privacy, it upset me to be co-ordinating so closely with someone else regarding my dog's care. I'm so glad for long quiet days on our own.

I got out for lunch today and bought a can of my favorite strawberry-rhubarb-parfait tea. It was expensive but worth it. I can still smell it now, hours after having it. Mmm! Yesterday was Scrabble club and it was very stressful, not a relaxing way to spend an evening at all. I'm quite annoyed by some of the unsportsmanlike behavior from some of the novice players and unhappy to have lost one to this teen boy, but he's a rising star as the young men tend to be.

Mood is mildly depressed as is to be expected at this time of year. At least we saw the sun today and January is moving along.

Hugs to all who need them!
