the day of going to see a play, reading a play, and playing: 5 days ago

I am grateful for:

1. Rocco, the fawn-colored French bulldog puppy, who is the bouncy four-month-old suitor of my 10-year-old dog.

2. Having money and time to see “in the next room, or the vibrator play…”

3. Having money and time to buy plays and read them.

4. This odd spring/fall weather.

5. Meeting a woman who just moved to my town who has a tough (but trainable) adult rescue dog. I hoped I gave her good advice: don’t quit, take it slow, and be patient.

renewed one of my subway passes 5 days ago

It’s a long story, but I was spending an extra 50 cents for certain subway rides I took, so I renewed one of my bulk subway passes. It feels good.
