1. After a twelve hour fast, I hustled up to the clinic for a blood draw in preparation for an appointment with Linda Jo Yawn next week.
2. The Deke took Maggie to the vet because Maggie has been panting heavily, on occasion, especially at night. The vet didn't find anything too serious the matter -- Maggie is fourteen years old and is experiencing some of the indignities of growing old -- cataracts, arthritis, and anxiety, for example. Her heart and lungs are strong and the Deke and I marvel often at how spry and alert Maggie is most of the time.
3. I fixed tiny sirloin steaks for dinner to go with a mess of beets and chard and other delicious vegetables and the red onions pickled in balsamic vinegar the Deke had prepared. I then watched Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka dominate Anastasija Sevastova and Madison Keys, respectively, to set up a fascinating finals match. It's hard to imagine that Osaka can defeat Williams, but Osaka has a lot of game, even at twenty years old, and might just present a stout challenge to Williams.
