I know there must be something.

Most people tell me they have a list and go through it every day

because they say they’re so busy.

I don’t understand why they’re so busy because they’re not working.

So then, I just think to myself, well, maybe the things they think are important enough to list you just do as a matter of course.

Oh that’s annoying ! I think to myself. I shouldn’t be so arrogant.

The truth of the matter is, I’m not really sure what is so important to remember to do that I need to write it down and check it off.

Right now what I want to do is take my dog to the beach because she loves it so much and I like to watch her running back-and-forth and then turning to look at me and to make sure I’m still there with her.

Last night I was running a bath, and the bathtub drain

popped up and made a noise as if there was a bullet that had been shot into my bedroom. I heard my little dog whimper, and I looked over to her and realized she had gone under the bed and was shaking terribly. I’ve never seen her scared because I’ve never let anything scary happen to her. It took a long time to quiet her down. She kept looking at me with her enormous liquid eyes wondering if she could trust me again. In the end, we just lay there for all the night waiting until we both felt like it was OK to go on.
