Tuesday

I saw someone looking at me as I entered the house.

We walked 7 miles this morning after biking out to the island and parking our bikes at Main Beach.  It was 88 degrees with a light wind, but not too crowded. The water was very clear.

And the skies were beautiful!

It was a tough morning for giving Dee Dee her pills. She's getting wise to all of our tricks. I've found that when she refuses, it's best to walk away and try again later. We finally got them all down. The big one we sometimes have to break up into three pills to get them by her, while the three smaller ones are a bit easier to disguise. That means that every day we have to get her to take 12 pills if we break the big one up. No wonder she gets suspicious.

Her health journey is a perplexing one. At times we have thought she is at the end. Then she has a really good day and surprises us. Today, for example, she's had a great appetite, without the usual pleading to eat. She even ate up most of her backlog of rejected food in the refrigerator, food that she has refused to eat many times. I was going to throw them out.

I spent most of the day online working.

I've got a non-functioning sprinkler head to fix tomorrow. The patch of brown grass drew my attention. I'll have to dig it up and see what's going on.
