For the first time in about week, maybe two, I slept well.. maybe well isn't the right way to put it. I slept hard, out cold, dead to the world. I went to bed about 4:30AM. I woke up to the somewhat harsh music of a hail and thunderstorm about 7:30. I remember shutting down all the computers and unplugging the modem, etc. I went back to bed. I don't remember dreaming. I do remember rolling over to find that it was about 3:30PM.

I have a bunch of comments to reply to. For now, I want to send out a general message of thanks to you lovely people (especially

mirrored_owl and

rachaelwynter ) that took the time to offer comforting messages and virtual hugs. They mean a lot. :)

I talked to Liz last night. Tuesday, I had called and let her say whatever it was she needed to say to Shottie. I told her it might sound silly, but it was something I needed to do. She said it wasn't silly at all. Liz called Wednesday, but I had been napping. She told me something last night that took a bit of the sting out of this loss. Shottie outlived all of his littermates (5 or 6 in that litter) by years. She actually said brothers and sisters, so that would mean the pups from his mother's first litter as well.

The kitchen is filled with these wonderful smells, Tom is cooking.

7:11 PM

Tom made salmon for dinner. It was good. I'm not much of a fish person and I liked it.

Thursday, we went up to Heights. Bed, Bath, and Beyond as well as Target were on our list. We bought new towels, shower curtain, and a carpet for Tom's bathroom. We went with dark blue for the towels and carpet. The counter is a light blue, this stuff will work. I got white plastic trays to reduce the clutter on the counter.

I think it's about time to clear out that bathroom and the linen closet. My daughters have some of their twin sized sheets, but there are still some in there that have flowers and what not for girls on them. Need to see what they want to hang onto and clear out the rest. I think my old towels are going to be going to the vet's office or something.

Target has a selection of Archer Foods and their store brand, Market Pantry. It's decent stuff.

Not much else to say right now.
