Tomorrow is the day we pick up Piko.

Good news, it only grew by 1x1 mm … bad news, it grew by 1x1mm

… until the biggest change in my life … since the last biggest change in my life.

I gotta be honest, I’m getting nervous - I can’t imagine life past September 4th right now.

I AM GETTING A PUPPY!!!

Potty training?

Taking the puppy to work everyday?

Behavior training?

I’m so excited to finally have a dog and yet I’m worried about how much of my life will be disrupted.

Momo will help… but how much?

Turned 48 today.

Did I have fun? You know, I did.

The day itself was nothing fancy, and that was the gift. Coffee with an old friend in the morning. Work - a purpose, where I’m respected and challenged. A scooter ride on a gorgeous day to treat myself to a burger and beer. Taekwondo in the evening. Dinner and walk with the kids to close it out.

There’s a line from Flaubert I keep coming back to:

Lulu & Theodore’s puppies arrived on Monday, July 13 — two boys and four girls, all happy and healthy.

Heard from the breeder today — the puppies are on their way.
