I am thankful for my family and my friends.

I don’t think those words quite encapsulate just how much I mean that.

I am thankful for my health and theirs. That’s really the only thing that matters. Or, maybe not the only thing…certainly not the only thing, I suppose…but damn. It’s a big one.

It’s so nice up here in Visalia, visiting with Joe and Madhuri and Ashika. Liz and Joe made amazing food. I cleaned. Ashika was a cutie. Madhuri slept. We all ate. It was perfect.

Coco jumped off the couch. Just yeeted right off it. Gave me a heart attack. But, she’s fine. Thank lord. Her back is still great. Need to be more careful with her on the couch. She’s liable to go yeeting at any time. Love her so damn much. Coops has just been a sweetie pie. So, so good with Ashika. Truly. So patient. So gentle. He’s such a gentle dog. And Coco has been so snuggly.

They love having the backyard to just go right out and potty. Hope to give them one of their own someday soon.

Joe watched football. I did a little rendering and uploading of 20Books videos. We went on walks.

Really, a wonderful day.
