2025-04-06 23:21It's been about a week since I got sick, and I'm feeling a lot better now, even if things like throat-clearing and nose-blowing are still lingering, and I still can't really hear out of my plugged left ear. I'll take it.
I slept again pretty much all day yesterday.
Today we had DnD, and it was a great session. It's so easy these days, it's hard to believe it ever made me so uncomfortable and nervous.
What was also great about today was that I took Duke to see another potential adoptive parent, and we've done it, this is the one. Early sixties, retired, lovely little house, big sunny yard, quiet, well-kept neighborhood. She has owned and even fostered animals her whole life, is a happy, active, healthy woman with a close, dog-loving family, and has done all her research on what the best care and training and foods are. She has a cozy, plush dog bed in every room, and stairs for the bed and sofa so whatever animal in her life has an easy time getting wherever it would like to go. She even has a little cabana out in the back yard, if the dog should prefer napping outside.
I love this lady. I told her how Duke blew his chances with another woman because the minute we brought him inside, he peed on her chair. This lady just laughed and said she would understand if that happened, on account of this is a new environment for Duke, and he's probably scared and confused, and all any animal needs is love and patience and understanding. She even said that she would clear her social calendar to be home for a solid week if she received Duke, to bond with him and help him acclimate. I am very, very sure about her, and I told my cousins that I believe she will provide the best possible home for Duke. Truly, he is a lucky boy who will be spoiled for certain, and live out his days in peace and coziness. She told me I could visit, too, whenever I want, since I live so close (until I move to Wisconsin) and that she'd text me pictures all the time so I can see how he's getting on.
I'm not sure when my cousins will part with him. I will miss him, but I'm also very happy and proud that I've managed to find him such a great home, and keep him out of the animal shelter or out of the hands of someone who would make him miserable.
Don't want to go to work tomorrow, even if I am feeling better. But I must. I need to make that cheddar, because Blair will be here in two weeks, ahhh! For Star Wars Nite, and Disneyland, and a couple of other fun excursions I have planned for her.
I will try to catch up on some messages and on my reading page but honestly, no promises there. Instead I will simply say I hope everyone is doing well! I am sending good vibes toward y'all.
