One week from today we bid farewell to 2022. I find it amazing how fast the years move by the older I get.

I slept in small chunks throughout the night as I sat with Erma. When I did attempt to sleep, Erma’s panting was loud and her constant movement kept summoning the motion sensor light to the room’s entrance. She was anxious until about 5:30 AM when she suddenly calmed down and laid down in the kitchen. Erma ate her breakfast and was immediately out the deck door with the others. Right now, all four are sleeping here in my bedroom.

I’m tired and restless. I want to sleep but not physically comfortable enough to make it happen.

But I can make it a great day!
