yeah the moon must have pulled my tide last night—i got up several times to pee and once to post. i said cool out loud in response to something r. said in a dream. the wind is still keening and cold. benny got obsessed with lulu's squeaky ball yesterday so i kept it in the pouch today. when i bent my head down he bonked my glasses off and blood flowed from the bridge of my nose. it could be worse, neither glasses nor nose broke. when i'm tired and especially tired and dismayed at the brutality of the humans i need my presence of mind and all my wits gathered about me. and to bring my awareness back to lovingkindness.
