Waxing Moon
Pluto Retrograde (I knew something had to be!)
Cloudy and cool
I got up early to run (well, limp). I was out the door by 5:45 this morning, and it was still far too busy out there — recycling trucks, scavengers, lost drivers, etc., etc. Friday is just a lousy day to run. I either have to run on Saturday, and get out the door a little earlier, or, if I keep to Fridays, get out the door by 5:15 Which I seriously doubt will happen. Did a figure eight instead of a double circuit this morning.
Spent most of yesterday spring cleaning. Purged a bunch of stuff, restacked the books for projects and the TBR pile into crates near my desk, packed 8 boxes to go to storage later today.
Made notes on a few projects, but didn’t do any serious writing.
About to pack up Elsa to head to the integrated vet center. Think good thoughts for us.

Hi Devon,
I came by to check up on you and Elsa from Brandy’s blog. I hope the integrated vet center can help her. It’s so heartbreaking when your beloved pet is ill and the decisions are so complicated. I wish you both the best!
Kudos for you getting out so early to run this morning, especially since it’s still pretty dark then! I waited until the sun was shining and ran at 8:30 am. 😉
Love your photos of the city on your blog.
Take care! 🙂
Aww. I hope it all goes well at the vet.
Good luck with the vet.
Praying all goes well!
