Woke up at 8 AM. Fed us all.

dame_grise was talking about providing temporary shelter to trans people from less supportive states. I’d have a lot of cleanup to do before I could do that, but I’m thinking about it. And it would have to be someone who likes pets.

Overslept my nap by a half-hour.

Bella is being kind of a jerk today. Oliver wanted on my lap and she started play-biting him. He bailed out.

Silence from the trust. God, I’m sick of those people.

Economists say that Trump’s tariffs will cause a recession. Just what we need :(

Schwab hasn’t called me back thus far.

I really want to go on another cruise. They are so relaxing. Not until December. Though Norwegian Cruise Lines has a cruise to Bermuda in August. That would be cheap.

I’m still feeling kind of draggy, but better than yesterday. I’m telling myself that accomplishing anything is better than nothing. My therapist wrote back and she thought that I was feeling grief. But the depression got worse after I wrote her.

I’ve been raking and my back hurts. Damn big chest. Bella is not being a help. She dug up another of my plants.

I’ve got a flaming headache that won’t go away, so I’m going to lie down. That’s the end of my raking. Crud, Oliver went under the bed. Got him. Couldn’t sleep, but my headache went away. Felt like crying though. Watched a couple of episodes of The Big Bang Theory. Fed us all. My headache is coming back.

Got the garbage out. Did dishes. Cut up some hot dogs and string cheese (with Oliver's help--NOT!) for Bella for dog training tomorrow night.

I don't know why I'm so sore. Usually I'm relaxed after a massage, but I'm feeling some tension.

I slept well but woke up at 8:30 AM. Ate breakfast and went back to sleep. Ate lunch, and I'm thinking of taking another nap! I am so tired.

I'm pondering how to make a left turn out of the parking lot because that's the way to the drugstore and beach. There are a lot of cars going fast. I was able to make the left turn. I was looking for the drugstore and missed it. I drove to the beach and paid for parking and headed in.

The first thing that I noticed was that the beach was so clean. Apparently they have people patrolling the beach to look for garbage. Everyone was so nice.

I expected to feel emotional seeing "my" lake, Lake Michigan. (I grew up walking distance from Lake Michigan if you liked long walks.) I enjoyed seeing the water and the seagulls, but wasn't feeling any strong pull.

There was a storm approaching, so I left a lot earlier than I intended. When I was driving home, I spotted the drugstore and stopped. I got sunscreen for my face and for the rest of me, and some fancy moisturizing cream for my hands.

When I pulled in at the inn, it was raining. I ate dinner and watched a Mentour Pilot video. I really want to take a nap, but they want people to take off their makeup before getting into bed.

Saugatuck, MI is supposed to be gay-friendly, but wow, expensive.

I'm thinking of going to bed early. I need to check out by 11 AM.
