I have had a really packed day.

I didn’t sleep well, so opted out of the gym this morning. We left early to go visit Harvey. He was especially affectionate today, leaning first one way in the bed and then the other, so we took turns hugging him. We didn’t say much, but the communication was there. Brian ordered him some French Fries to be delivered after we left.

From there, we went to the bank to get the paperwork we needed to renew my retirement visa. We were there a total of a little over two hours, with the waiting for our turn and then the service itself. We got what we needed, though, and that’s the important thing. After that, we went to the chocolate place for a much-needed boost.

I was going to catch a nap, but it’s renovation season at our building, and as soon as I closed my eyes, the loud drilling and hammering began. I gave up and went to the cafe, where I enjoyed an iced latte and did some sketching.

This one goes into the group that I’ll take to put up on Harvey’s Happy Wall. It doesn’t matter that he doesn’t remember that this is one we cut out to put on the mailbox. The fact he likes it on his wall now is enough. This Saturday, though, I’m taking a painting for Father’s Day.

I finished the “Cats on the Beach” jigsaw puzzle this afternoon!

I’ll have Brian take a photo of it Friday so that he can send the photo to have a glass print made. We’re waiting for the one he already ordered of the “Rooster Runway.”

This is the new one I asked Brian to order for me. It’s called, “Abstract Cat.” He should be pleased with this one. It’s labeled, “Difficult to impossible,” so it’ll probably take me some time to complete…

This evening I changed my carrier with its inner pouches. The carrier is hand-knit and the pouches are handmade and hand-embroidered. I change this out between this one and another one, carefully hand washing the one after I change to the second one. It’ll probably take several days to dry, given our weather, but I’ll move my drying rack off and on to my balcony to speed the process as much as I can.

As I type, I’m hoping that the handy man for the building can make time to come fix my door. It swells when it’s rainy or there is high humidity, making it really hard to open and close. Lately, it has gotten to the point that at times I CANNOT get out, or can’t get IN again. Thankfully, Brian lives in the same building. I can text him and he comes and helps; or many times, if we’re going somewhere together, he just comes and gets me and then makes sure I’m in again before he leaves me when we get back. The handy man is super busy so fingers are crossed that he can get to me today. If not, I’ll hope for tomorrow…

My work on the dolphin puzzle is going well. I have asked Brian to try to order the turtle puzzle for me again as soon as he can. I would really like to tackle that one after I meet the challenge of this one.

I have been spending more time on Substack lately and am following several people now. I am finding some wonderful sources for things I love and want to share with you here. You might check out Substack and see if it’s something you enjoy.

We visited Harvey at the nursing home this morning. He was sleepy and almost completely non-responsive today. He squeezed my hand, but said nothing, even though I talked to him a lot. Disheartening, but he didn’t seem to be hurting.

I hope your day or evening is one that makes you smile.
