The hair and the dogs

I know I write a lot about the dogs – but they are the source of all of my pain!!  And of course, the source of much of my joy.

Obviously, there’s the return to the US issue with them.  Then there have been the other issues – eating the chocolate, chasing the cats, being general pains-in-the-ass.  But now, there are the plums.  There are two plum trees in the backyard that drop plums by the dozens everyday.  One tree yields red plums and the other green plums.  The green plums are delicious – one of the best fruits I’ve ever tasted!  But, unfortunately, the dogs think so too.  And before I can find them all hidden in the grass each morning, they’ve gobbled them up, pits included.  After that comes vomiting and diarrhea – pits and all!  On the bed.  Yup.  Fun.

I save the best plums and throw the bad ones over the fence into an uninhabited area behind the house.  Sadly, I’ve thrown so many with my left arm (non-dominant arm) that it’s sore from flinging!  Ridiculous.

HAIR!  Since the dawn of time, I don’t think it’s caused such a ruckus as it has during the confinement!  My hair has never been this gray and hasn’t been this long since God knows when…decades!  The length has been kind of fun, but the color had to go!!  Six months of au natural was enough.

Better.

I’ve had a couple of new ideas about how I can get back to the States.  Still working on it. Again, stay tuned… and stay safe!!!
