The puppy didn't make it. Too small, too weak. Shame, she was a pretty little one. She did spend most of her too short life cuddled and being loved. No one, even an animal, should ever have to die alone.
Feeling better today, my bones and joints are still aching. Still, it could be the horrendous pain that the worst days bring. You know the pain, the pain that settles in within hours of a bone break. The pain that returns when it's cold and damp, reminding you that, sometimes your own body can be your enemy.
The electric fireplace arrived today. Now, to figure out how to put it together. It came as five boxes of stuff, along with big pieces in two big boxes. Thank goodness the cold weather has mostly passed. I should not have need of it until next winter.
The space heaters also arrived. That's a future worry crossed off my list. I like to be prepared for unexpected things. I dislike even the idea of having to run out and get things when snowstorms come. I prefer to stay stocked up on things like food, toilet paper, candles and batteries.
Tomorrow promises temperatures in the sixties. I plan to get out of the house as soon as it's warm. I need to make a trip to the library. Perhaps stop in at FOTL Book Shop. Definitely get a fountain drink somewhere. Just being out of the house for an hour or so will be good. Then, I'll come home and clean dog poop out of the yard. After all, I do have to take advantage of a warm March day.
Tonight, I've just been thinking awhile. About where my life is, where it's going, how I wish my life to be, and how to make it that way. I have limitations, and I'm learning to work around them. I'm adapting how I do things in order to be as independent as possible. I may have to depend on others for some things, but in the end, I have to be able to rely on myself.
Enough for now......
