Business as usual. Betty and I walked the pups. I fed them, and cleaned their bowls. Then off to pick up Rob at Precision Auto, where Bluto will undergo diagnostic testing! Rearranged my schedule once again to accommodate work—blessed work! Will be taking LW to the oral surgeon next week instead of today. Chapter due in client’s inbox EOD today.

Doing a virus scan on my iMac. Received an invitation to join a friend’s Facebook, but we are already friends. Someone hacked her Facebook. So annoying. I don’t keep personal information on my Facebook and have closed the account down several times. Too intrusive.

Sun is almost out. Redbud is doing its best. Pups are asleep. Spoke with G yesterday about removing a tree. Too late. It’s too big. So we will keep it pruned. As for all the replacement trees I bought for it over the past 4 years when G did not come to remove the offending tree, I need to figure out a garden plan so that they are not peppered all over my yard in helter-skelter fashion.

Mom is in the kitchen with Rob. I am in my office. She will ask several times where I am, having no clue where my office is. (It’s next to her bedroom.) Mom is doing her word search puzzles. Her current puzzle is a doozie! Chockablock full of acronyms of radio and television stations all beginning with K! But she is doing a creditable job.

Back to work for me. Chapter 4 is due tonight. Don’t know if I will be able to escape to an early dinner with Carol, but I will try.
