After yesterday's sadness, today is starting out much better. The sun is out, even with a few clouds in the sky, and it's not windy yet. The wind usually doesn't start until afternoon, and in the summer, we welcome it as nature's air conditioning. Since the workmen are gone, we have silence - something the Modesto house never had. We don't get traffic noise here so the whole atmosphere is quiet and peaceful.
A lot of yesterday was spent feeling sad about Dottie. Even Bustopher was sad. He hid in the bathroom behind the toilet and when I found him he was hunched up like cats do when they're distressed. We gave him a lot of lovies, a lot of tuna, and a bath (he had picked up fleas and the flea goo wasn't working) so by the evening, he sat with us and seemed ok. I just stayed busy, which is how I handle emotional distress. If I can keep myself focussed on a project, my brain has time to come to grips with the distress and I feel better. As a result of this, we had some delicious lentil soup and home made bread last night for dinner and today I feel better. Soup and home made bread are such comfort foods.
Today we're going into Concord to Phyllis and Jack's house for a cook out. There should be quite a few Secure Computing people there, and while Jim will probably be a little bored, I'll enjoy seeing some old friends.
It's a brand new day.
Love to all
Corrie and Jim
