Jan. 9th, 2016 12:15 amProbably not writing a long entry tonight; my parents took me out to dinner sort-of-for my birthday.
Things were not awkward, gifts were thoughtful and not so showy that I felt super guilty, I got to show off one of their Christmas presents to me so I no longer feel super guilty about getting it either, and the thing I was not daring to hope for happened, which is that the dog got up on all four feet when I came in and was generally pretty lively. He hasn't had the use of his back legs for months. I actually had a dream last night where he was running around playing, and it was not like that, but I remember such a sense of relief in the dream, and when I woke up I was like "I dreamed something that made me really happy, what was it?" and when I saw him in real life today I remembered.
The dogs aren't going to last forever; they're probably not going to last long. But I was glad to get to see Archie happy again.
Not much fiction writing done today, but I'll be writing over the weekend.
