I have a half finished essay in my really real journal that I was thinking of posting here. I was working on it diligently last night, but suddenly, sleepiness overtook me and I had to give it up.
I guess I had too much fresh air yesterday.
We asked a few friends over to share our front yard for the last hour or so of the air show. I ended up walking down closer to the field with Sunny and one friend to get a closer look. I think I would have been just as happy to have stayed at home. There were too many people down there, other dogs, and lots of distractions. We DID see more. But I enjoyed it less. I liked my front yard front row seat better. But I cannot complain. I got to see them four days in a row.
Though I will say that I learned something about Sunny that we are going to have to work on. She is prone to barging up on people or other dogs in what I consider to be an aggressive manner. My friend thought I was being silly, and that she was just enthusiastic. I know Sunny too well.
Even though it is not my favorite thing, I may have to start finding some crowded places to take her to get some training in. I even thought about wearing a sign around my neck. "I'm training my dog, don't talk to her."
The weather was clear and sunny, though cool and breezy for the two days of the air show. This morning it is overcast and cold, with a chill little wind just for good measure. It makes me introspective. Which of course is no great news, that is my normal state of mind if truth be told.
Anyway, I have been contemplating the fact that I need to make some changes in my life. Little ones, medium ones, nothing earth shattering. Just fine tuning and attitude adjustments. The proverbial "turning over a new leaf" syndrome.
But frankly there is a rather grumpy and militant part of me that is heartily sick to death of turning over leaves. New or otherwise. Most of the time, all I find under there are worms, grubs and mold. I think I need a new analogy for "attitude adjustment".
Rubs chin.
Thinks that over.
(Move along people. This is going to take some time, I can tell...
Oh the things I have to put up with over here. I should get a raise.)

but the worms and grubs
sound interesting."
