I can feel the routine creeping back in today. Just barely. Tonight especially getting ready for bed. Feels good. I have a busy summer ahead of me; book to finish. House projects to handle. Work. Exercise. Etc. Feeling excited and positive about the second half of the year, which will be a relief given how intense the beginning of the year has been.

Really missing Coco tonight. Joy has officially taken her place up at the top of the bed. In my heart, they share it, really. It’s not a replacement. Doesn’t feel that way at all. They share it, now. Coco would hate it at first…but then she would have loved it. She was like that. It took her time to really open up to you. At least for pups. People a little less so, but still a little bit.

Papa’s girls.

Night night.
