After being on the ADs for about 6 weeks, they have kicked in and I feel like myself again. I have had a v good week, even got up early the other day and baked popovers for breakfast. I even rode my bike to work!
Friday night my friend's oldest son turned 20. I have known him since before he was born! LOL! We had a nice get-together at their house. It was very homey and fun, we all cooked the meal together and ate crowded in the kitchen.
Today we had a long morning at the dog park, then to Farmer's Market and after that a long dog training class where Argo was again the star. Only...(and this somewhat relates to Figgy's trauma) there was a lady there with a baby in a backpack working with her Golden Retriever. I think to Argo it looked like a 2 -headed person. He had never seen a lady with a baby in a backpack like that. It took him a while to settle down, he was barking at them and not listening. I made him do things that he knew, and gave him lots of positive reinforcement and eventually he settled down. We did a LOT of "watch me"!
This afternoon I was invited to a "Pleasure Party". It actually was fun and informative, although the focus seemed to be for women who have men in their lives, not those of us who don't!
Of course there was the pitch at the end to become a part of the host's "downline" which is something I find patently offensive. I guess it is a little like Amway for sex toys.
Tomorrow is another friend's son's birthday. This boy will be 16. So cake, cookies and dinner. Oh boy!
I am really glad to be back to my old self. I feel much more energy and much more hopeful about my future. Yay!
