Despite moments of paranoia when I am stressed out at home, I am very happy nowadays. The tree is made. The dogs are walked a lot and well fed. The cat has both dry and wet food all you can eat. This hood is so charming. It is often very calm and quiet with a far away roaring traffic noise. And planes. 

Hubby left with the dogs this morning as I was coming back from the gas station and the coffee shop for an iced latte. Our lives are so very very good. May we be so blessed until the end. Om mani peme hung.
