Just as I was heading to bed last night, I found my stepmom had left a voicemail. When I called her, her husb said she had fallen again. This time broke her wrist. They were trying to find my brother to tell him, as he is in town to visit them. So, I spent more time notifying him of this event, and then trying to calm myself down for sleep. Oof😤🫣🥺

AM- awake at 6am (PDT) after 8ish hours of sleep💤🛌😏. I was dreaming about some sort of large *dog camp,* or *factory farm* of dogs, where there were hundreds of doggos in different comfy indoor and outdoor spaces. All relatively calmly, in small groups, grooming themselves and their buddies. Clearly, I had a vivid imagination of them being more primate than canine😂. But as I walked around this *camp,* both the people running it, and the dogs were super friendly. No one was desperate or miserable….🤯🐾
