1. Luckily, my afternoon was free. This morning I went to the dentist. The doctor executed the next stage in the process of replacing my extracted tooth with an implant. It didn't take long, and thanks to anesthesia, wasn't painful, but I needed rest, sleep, and pain relief in the afternoon and evening. I experienced dull minor pain in the area he worked on and, as the dentist promised me (!), I had a headache all day and through the night.
(As I write this, I feel about 95% recovered and pain free 👏👏👏.)
2. What I would call a tortoiseshell cat, a cat I've never seen before, plopped itself and relaxed on a tree round that is taller than the fence in the northwest corner of our yard and Gibbs went nuts barking at the cat. Gibbs' barking bored the cat. The cat continued to relax and when I went out to check on things gave me a look that seemed to say, "Can you get this hyper mutt to shut up so I can continue to sun myself and relax in peace?"
Eventually, I persuaded Gibbs to leave the cat alone and, with the help of a shredded cheese lure, he came back into the house.
About thirty minutes later, I checked on the cat -- no longer there -- the cat had moved on and I have no idea if the cat lives with someone nearby or is cat without a home.
I'll keep a casual lookout for the cat and see if I can figure anything out.
The cat is welcome here any time, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm not sure Gibbs shares my sentiment!
3. I rallied myself late in the afternoon and fixed Debbie and me a fun dinner of roasted asparagus spears and baked salmon accompanied by Jasmine rice.
For how simple it was to make, this dinner delivered a lot of pleasure.
