Had a quiet day. Hung out in the lobby twice. People stopped to chat. It was nice. Took my dog to the dog park twice. The second time there were some young men talking smack about a young girl who is lovely but a bit silly. It made me think what they say about ME when i am not there. I watched news for the first time this year and feel more oriented and connected to reality. I felt sad and lonely and cried twice. I bought myself some gifts for my birthday and am feeling brighter about it. Thanks for the birthday wishes.

@Blue_Bird: Papi looks like a rascal. Cats sure are charming creatures.
