Early morning thoughts

Pain awakened me at four this morning. My pain pills are laughing at the idea that they're supposed to work. The house  is remarkably quiet, aside from doggy snores. Soon, I'll start a pot of coffee, set out croissants and melons, and fry a few slices of bacon. For now, I'm merely enjoying the quiet.

My fiancé brought his dogs over last night, two gigantic German shepherds. They're lovely ladies, and I adore them. They're delighted to travel and visit. My beastie is happy that her friends came to her house to see her. Later today, we'll load up all three into the car and take them to his house. It will be wonderful once we're married and have all three of them together. No more having to arrange for pet sitters or traveling an extra sixty miles round trip to visit.

Spring is definitely here. Eighties yesterday, and close to that today. I'm looking forward to rain, and more plants growing and blooming. The last of the branches have been hauled to the curb. In a few days, I'll drag out the mower and tackle the yard. Today, we'll be going to Lowes, and I'll pick up more bulbs to plant. I'll get to enjoy them this summer, and future renters will enjoy them for years to come.

Talked to my sister a couple of days ago. Dad spends much of his time sleeping now, and hospice is there most of the time. She's taken leave from her job to be with him. I wish I lived closer to him. It's hard to realize and accept that my Dad is dying. I will miss his guidance, wisdom, and love. He adopted me many years ago, and I'm proud to be his daughter. I am blessed.

Enough for now.
