Sunshine. Mid-60s. Bright blue sky.

This is perfection!

Last night, at 2 AM, I woke and could not settle back into sleep. I was still in gut discomfort and I am not sure if that was the reason for waking and remaining awake. The nice thing was that I had three tight snuggles from Harrigan at my knees, Bailey on my pillow, and Col. Deeds on the other side of the pillow.

I gave myself some additional resting time this morning with the deck door open to allow some of the warmer, fresher air to circulate throughout the house. Fortunately, I was able to readjust some things to the afternoon.

At 2:15 PM, my former student, Becca, and her mom, Missy, will visit Deeds! They’ve not seen him in three weeks. I know they will be amazed at the little man and how much he has grown.

I have several Zoom meetings from 3:15-5:30 PM and then a Zoom seminar, later. Friday is a trip to the Schuster Center of Performing Arts for a Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra concert and Saturday will hopefully be spent watching winter guard, indoor percussion, and indoor winds for the MEPA (Mid-Eastern Performance Association) contest in Trent Arena, next door.

I am spending some Zoom time on the deck to soak in the beautiful day!

Col. Deeds spent a good deal of time kissing and loving on the others. Chief seemed to welcome the affection from his little shadow. Even Harrigan allowed him to smother her with kisses. The world has turned upside down!

Make it a great day!
