AM- awakened by my poor sweet doggo at 2:30 and then at 5:30 so I just got up. He’s got some serious diarrhea, like Boo used to have: in “the position” all over the yard (he’s got a docked tail, so staying put doesn’t work for him). Ugh….

Outside is hazy, blue sky, 63 (F)degrees with Medium-High pollen. The forecast is for 90s again and high winds.😖

  • Doggo walk: x20 mins✅
Drive 3 hours to Renton; left husb at home after having a long discussion about “listening to your body” last night. Since he JUST got back from 5 hour drive to mom’s, doing a one day over and back 3 hours away, and then expecting his sis from SoCal to arrive here on Mon *may* be too much. He made the wise division to stay home.

Noonish- Family Reunion
PM- 3 hour drive home
