I left my winter hat in the car. My hubby was running errands and stuck it on his head so he’d remember to bring it in. But then he forgot about it and went grocery shopping. 😊

My beloved mother-in-law (black blouse) has passed. My husband almost made it home in time.

Was not feeling good yesterday. Staggered back to bed all sweaty. The dog curls up with me to comfort me. Fluffy, on the other hand, pokes me periodically as if to say, “Dead, yet?”

My sweet hubby is obsessed with whether Cas eats enough and I’ve been telling him he puts too much pressure on Cas to eat just to make him happy. I told him our baby is about 2lbs. overweight if anything. Today the vet says should trim 2lbs. So hopefully I can get hubby to be chill about food.

This is my dearly departed Thor. Thor never accepted our authority. I had to sleep with a nightlight because he discovered we couldn’t see him at night so he would sneak attack the dogs. (I called it “sharking”.) He can be Charlie’s security.
