Despite being sick and in a daze (or maybe because of it), I have had some wonderful moments today. People I met on the street today were so happy in the warm weather. I can't remember the last time so many people said hi to me as I walked to work. And I saw a really beautiful bluejay guarding his territory.

But, best of all, I got to pet a puppy. A 10-week-old Samoyed. And she was so friendly! And her fur was so soft. She was waiting for me, even though her owner wanted to walk, and then I said, "hi, puppy!" And she stood up on her hind legs and reached for me and she had the best belly ever. She wanted to eat the strings on my scarf, but I was able to get them away from her.

I ate an amazing pear at lunch. It was just ripe enough and buttery-sweet.

Thinking about all this is making me want dinner. And a puppy. And to say hi to people. Hi! I'm going to make dinner now. Two out of three is not so bad at all.
