That is hard to believe. well, it's been August since Friday. i know that.
August is pretty significant. for Linda's birthday (and the rest of the Leo birthdays in her family, and Elinor's, for the first time Linda came to California. for my parents' anniversary).
Jeremy and I had a good visit to my father, Jack, in Santa Monica. It's hard to go up and back on one day, but worth it. we took our bathing suits and took a little dip before dinner. jeremy beat me in a one-lap race. well, if he hadn't, that would have been really scary.
one really good thing (omg ketzl is licking my foot and it tickles!)
on the plane on the way home, we did both of the crossword puzzles in the Spirit magazine. you might remember that i have not done any puzzles since Linda died. i feel this is a major step. the easy one was pretty easy. we tried to start with the harder one but got stuck right away. when we went back, jeremy started in the lower right corner, and we blazed ahead, working our way up and over and finished in the top left. it feels really good to have taken that step. remember that a journey is made up of many steps. and this is "the journey continues."
what other choice do we have? one foot in front of the other.
ketzl is not happy about my being gone all day.
he wants to go back outside. you should hear his yowl...at the front door.
ok so he got so rambunctious that i had to put him out again. he was doing his run around the house and up on things, and i was worried that things might get broken.
tomorrow will come plenty early.
