Day 129

Lucy woke up early this morning and I asked her if she wanted up on the bed.  For the first time in a while she jumped up.  So I stayed in bed with her surfing for an extra hour.

Yesterday was near 80.  Today it didn't get much past 40.  It was misting and windy also.  Together that made it feel very cold.  Too cold to go outside and do something.

So I spent a lot of the day casting around for something to do.  I did some magazine reading and some pinball.  Then I decided to work on the train model some more.  I did some painting, put together some parts, and built up the base.  The base worked out well.  I was able to use the scrap from the last model.


Lucy was going crazy.  She kept wanting to do something.  Finally I got down on the floor and played with her.  She chewed on me some and tore up one of her toys.  So I gave her another.  She went out once during the day.  It was one of the fastest pee stops ever.  I don't think she was gone for much more than a minute.

The dog has a great sense of time.  She knows time to get up, time for pills, time for newspaper, time for mail, time for Kong, etc.  The problem is that her clock usually runs half an hour to an hour fast.

The only time we let the house was to walk up to get the mail.  By then the temperature was about 38 with the wind blowing and a light rain.  It wasn't pleasant, but Lucy seemed to enjoy herself.  She was happy to go back inside though.

Tomorrow is supposed to suck even worse.
