It rained a lot this week. It will soon be time to plant a garden. I bought some flower seeds, but I need to see what pots I have in the basement. I may need to buy some new ones. The temperature has been hitting 6oF at least one day a week for the past few weeks, though nights still get a bit chilly, usually dropping at least below 4oF.
I need to do my taxes. It's not even very difficult, it just takes time to get all the forms together. I might sit down and do it this afternoon after work. I worked from home today, so I'll be picking up the new batch of comics tomorrow. Sometime in June, DC will be switching back to Wednesday releases, so I'll Wednesday will become my usual comic store day, but until then it's usually Tuesday. I don't have any work to do, so I've just been sitting here reading through some of my comic backlog.
The dog has been enjoying the warmer weather, since I've started running again and I take her with me. She likes being outside, but all the rain means that as soon as she steps outdoors she becomes a wet, muddy beast. She doesn't much care for having her feet, legs and belly rinsed off, but she does like the attention, so I can at least get her cleaned up without much trouble. She still won't play fetch, but I've been working on teaching her. She's good at catching, so now I'm trying to teach her to drop the ball in my hand after she catches it by sitting on the floor and having her stand right next to me, so that when I toss it to her and she catches it and then drops it, I'm close enough to have my hand under her mouth so the ball drops right in, and then I praise her. I've had limited success, and there's definitely a time limit before she gets tired of playing catch at all, so it might take a bit, but I'm determined.
