I’m getting used to the day being shanghai’d but there are times when you just count your blessings – like today after being walayed at the doctor’s office interminably for my pre-op and then tapping my foot at the drugstore waiting for the four people behind the counter to finally do something – I arrived home to find the Bean wandering the front yard!!!!! Gadzooks – she had gone through the doggy door which she has not been using – and thank god she was alive and in the yard (without her collar I might add) – so now the doggy door has been sealed up awaiting a fence and I am thankful – very thankful for her – and forget about all the myriad of things that just didn’t go as planned today. The big plan is working just fine, thank you very much.
