Weird dreams in the night; feel some vertigo this morning, for some reason….outside is a heat wave at 34 (F)degrees feels like 30😵‍💫Gotta get daughter’s car back from the shop today; husb is postponing trip to his mom’s due to the car situation.

AM- awake at multiple times in the night between Canoe and husb getting up. I think husb is anxious about daughter’s car stuff and travel. Canoe is lost without Boo and seems to need more outside time since it’s not as cold. I got up at 5:30 am (PST) and it’s super windy outside, 38 (F)degrees feels like 30. The snow is melting and crashing down from the upper level of our roof to the lower level in quite a racket😵‍💫

AM- had a rough night with Canoe peeing his bed, and it stunk up the bedroom. I think he’s chosen bed wetting as his own brand of dawggie neurosis. With Boo gone, and the girls are gone, and husb is gone. Who else is gonna leave? Poor thing😵‍💫Plus, I guess his bed needed to have any remnants of Boo smell washed out, anyway. Taking care of all of that at midnight, left me a little keyed up, so it took some time getting back to sleep. Then I woke up later than I prefer….Outside it is cloudy, 31 (F)degrees feels like 31….

AM-woke up just after 6am (PST) to a little snow, 30 (F)degrees feels like 23. Canoe had awakened me once to come downstairs to his bed in the living room, so I could cover him with his blanket😅After that, I never heard from him him. I did not find any evidence of pee in his upstairs bed, thank the gawds🙄😎
