Well, did get some trash hauled off today, but I also have some bad news.
Polly, our outdoor black lab, had been scarce the last few days. She was old, 16 years old, and she wandered off to die. Dogs do that sometimes. So this hasn't been a great day, and Polly will be missed. She always came out of her doghouse to come and greet you when you pulled into the driveway, and that's something we already miss. She went to our neighbors property and laid down by their pond from what we can tell. Poor girl.
So I'll still be writing, but my mood is dampened a little bit.
