i wrote about mollie being VERY VERY UPSET that we left her alone with thad fwhen we went out to dinner , and was forced to be petted by him, plus she kept leaping to the window to see if we were coming, jumping up on his very fancy leather chair. thad doesn’t...

mollie is sleeping really loudly over on the other side of the couch. winnie is curled up next to me – he’d rather be in my lap, but the computer is here, so he’s content to sleep alongside. yesterday was a little bit too busy and i have many things...

i woke up around sixish this morning, petted mollie, petted winnie, both of whom were sleeping nicely nearby. after a while, though, i figured i might as well just get up. up before kevin! a historical moment. this has happened maybe three times in our lives...

i got up at 5:44. it’s still dark out, with a little bit of light in the sky. mollie desperately wants to have her orange treat ball filled, so she can roll it vigorously around the house. she is very very energetic. kevin seems pretty awake now, too. i went...
