Today's the day! This afternoon a friend will drive me out to the pick up location and the Puppy Bus is due to show up at around 5 PM, and I'll take pictures. I've worked hard to get plenty of sleep for the last 3 or 4 days in preparation for getting none tonight or tomorrow night.

Busy sweeping up confetti from shredding job of old tax stuff. Don't want puppy to eat confetti. No, Puppy (said quietly, so I won't make him nervous).

I've used the coming of Romeo as an excuse to get rid of accumulated debris, opening an old closet I usually avoid. Carefully organized into plastic boxes were all my long lost cartoons and early unpublished novels and all my old journals. Maybe it's time to write my autobiography. :-)

But the halls still have some boxes of papers to go through, etc. so I gotta get me coffee down me gullet and get to work this morning. I haven't had a puppy in this house for many years. Smiling already.
