Central Park East - 6:55am

Good morning!  A beautiful, quiet, clear morning in the Park today - about 15 degrees warmer than yesterday. There weren't many people over by the great lawn because they had put pesticides on the field.  Everybody was warning me not to go, but they had only put the pesticides on the inner grass that's fenced off from all of us.  I went over anyway and it was very nice and empty (sometimes it's nice when it's empty).  Sofie wasn't able to get near where they had laid down the bad stuff.  I'm a cautious dog owner but some people are stinkin' crazy.  Sofie has to go to the vet today because she's due for her rabies vaccine and some other type.  She'll probably make a big fuss about it, too.  When she was a puppy and I took her for her shots, she screamed/yelped like they were killing her for every single one.  She's such a drama-queen. I'm also happy to report that she is going much better now.  She's back on her regular dog food and everything is "normal." 

Today is the last day for me to study before my exam tomorrow.  I'm going to begin straight away after I finish this post.  One more day before I'm done and I can relax in Oregon!  Things are looking up!
