Volume 12 - Day 356/10, 2020 - Monday

The overnight low was mid-40s, so I took all the plants out of the garage and the front barn this afternoon, and everything got a good watering, too. It is supposed to get close to the freezing point (34 degrees) overnight on Thursday, so I will keep my eyes on the forecasts, and maybe bring everything back in Thursday afternoon. Maybe. I made a couple trips to the new house today, just dropping some this-and-thats, and there will be more trips throughout the week. I called this very, VERY posh vet/doggie-day-care and kennel today, to get the girls records transferred over to them. I am also going to try and board them on the 29th, assuming that the first round of moving will be on the 30th. I think I could more easily enroll a five year old in Manhattan in a private academy than I can getting these girl dogs into this place. They have an appointment tomorrow to see if they 'fit in,' and I will explain to them later tonight and tomorrow that they have to be on their best behavior. Ugh! I did see the Christmas star tonight, I think, but it was hard to tell. I could see them better last week than I could this evening, so for what it is worth, I will tell everyone that I saw them. Earlier this afternoon, I donated Jody's car to Caritas, for their Season of Caring campaign. They will in turn give the car to a man who has not had it as easy as I have. The man is 37 years old, and he came to this country from Cuba when he was 13. I hope this helps him continue to make a better life for himself, and I did not cry until I got back in the car with Carrie. I was a little weepy telling him and the others gathered about what a kind and loving man Jody was, and how he would be happy to know that he too was able to help someone.
