I’m neglecting this blog. Perhaps I should write a sentence or so a day, or maybe a poem just for the discipline of it, to sort of sum things up, if that’s even possible.

Fires still burning here in California, thousands of them; got the dogs groomed today, cost $7 more than last time; prices inching up, up, up everywhere; wish I could groom the pups myself (I’ve tried it; the dogs suffered, I suffered, everyone who saw them suffered); wish I could give up steamy mochas, cook more from scratch, buy in bulk, walk more, take on more work; I’m so full of wishes, not enough action. Read a little blurb in the paper today that AAA is lowering its homeowner insurance rates in Californian, average savings expected: more than $100 per household this year. AAA is my insurance company. Hot cha cha.
