The Bard's Hall Contest

Feeling blessed

"The Bard's Hall Contest"  [18+]

I bought a parasol for my balcony which cost me 65 bucks all-inclusive. That's far better than the 1000 bucks it would have cost me to buy a new sunscreen. Delivery is next week, so I am good.

Today I had lunch with a friend, again in the park in the shade of a restaurant, like I did yesterday with another friend. I feel blessed with my friends. That's a good feeling.

I feel blessed with my dog and my life in general. If only those damned dishes. Ah well, tomorrow is another day!

The two new contests "The OVI Poem Contest"  [E] and "Personal Essay Contest"  [E] have started. Deadlines are June 30 and July 15. Already people entered and there were generous donations. So, I am feeling good about them.

I have canceled the vet's appointment for Sprout this afternoon. He's doing fine as far as I can see, so that's that. I'll keep an eye on him, obviously.

He is sleeping now next to me on the ground on a mat in my study. He is so adorable, I am so in love with the mutt. Dogs are truly wonderful.

Nothing else to tell! So, have a great day!
