Since waking, the temperature has already seen a boost of three degrees and is anticipated to climb thirty more degrees to 56 degrees by day’s end. The remainder of this week shall see us hovering in the mid-sixties and a high of 70 degrees on Thursday.

The time change has mingled little adjustments to my body’s rhythm, but I could have enjoyed more sleep this morning. Yesterday, my body was tackled by fatigue which seemed unwarranted as I had enjoyed a relaxing Saturday with an evening at The Loft to house manage a Human Race Theatre Company production, SHIPWRECKED. Once the students arrived, I was fully revived and enjoyed a full night of teaching.

Harrigan seems improved, but still remains mostly to herself, lounging on my bed or by my side in my study. The students, once passing through the gate into the hallway, have been calling out to Harrigan to come see them, and she has. We’re about two weeks shy of the three-month anniversary of Bailey’s passing, and I am sure it is difficult for Harrigan to comprehend.

And immediately after typing the above paragraph, I heard a tumbling commotion in my bedroom. Upon checking, I discovered the noise coming from not just Hoskins and Colonel Deeds, but Harrigan, too! She might growl when the youngsters want to snuggle with her but she’s game for playing hard!

I am hoping to enjoy a visit from family mid-week and am eager to see this through. The weather looks to be cooperative, too.

Make it a great day!
