AM- awake at 7:15am (PDT) after a troubled night with my sweet doggo😮‍💨
He slipped on the bare floor again, and was scared to move around. So, he was emitting the faintest cry, which of course *only I* could hear (husb is immune and cannot hear it🤯). I spent no less than 45 mins getting Canoe outside to do *something,* and then trying to get back to sleep afterwards, while he *quietly* licked, afterwards🥴😵‍💫.

AM- awake at 7:30am (PDT) after 9 hours of sleep🛌💤🤩. Vivid dreaming in the last couple hours, of a scene where I was in a huge warehouse being shown around with our car present (as tho our car was a *person*, being talked to!), and then sat down to finely chop ginger root. I had most of it done, got pulled away to clean a spill, went back to find my pile largely gone and no more whole root available to chop more. I was looking all over for more, AND for what I had chopped🤭😂. All with people I knew “in the dream,” but have no recollection of ever knowing in real life…

AM- awake at 7:30am (PDT) after 9 hours of horizontal time, but only 7ish hours of actual sleep💤🛌😏. My poor doggo faintly fussed about getting out of his crate, and out of his bed, wringing his paws over the potential of slipping on the bare floor, again. So, I spent time in the night helping him move around and calm down. We think the early fireworks is contributing to the anxiety “bucket,” and amplifying his worry, even tho he doesn’t visibly register fireworks as an issue….😭
