Robin has begun to declutter my living area. Soon, maybe this week, I’ll have an organized apartment with art hung. Ready to live in, not just exist. Feels good to be at this point.

Struggled with workouts. Not sure why. I know how important they are.

Crystal, one of my favorite caregivers, came in to pick up Shadow for a walk. You have to see this. I thought it was a trash bag, you know, those stretchy ones?

She had taken trash out to the big dumpsters and there, on top of one, lay a dead black bear. The picture she took with her phone showed a large bear lying on its side on the blue top of the dumpster. Always sad to see dead wild neighbors.

How did it get there? Unknown. Though. The odds that it crawled up there to die? Slim. Would have been heavy to lift. A mystery.

Finished up my long term care claim form, mailing it back today. I have a good feeling about it even though I know they usually say no twice before approving a claim.

Shadow went on a play date to see Annie. She has a good time. They’re buds.

Rainy and cool here. Temps in the low forties, thirties. Snow in the forecast for tonight. Seasons.
