The dogs were barking and waiting for her to let them out. They get upset if she is late letting them out. It rained heavily last night in the Bay Area and it is a dreary day today. I told her it drizzled in the morning at Atwater, but is topped drizzling after lunch. I told her I was working on my Spanish lessons and preparing for the Art History teaching class. She will be busy working on her Christmas inventory. She inquired if my watch was broken and she wanted to buy me a new watch for my birthday present. I told her the best present she could give me is to get well and healthy and feel better. Also I need to keep my commissary account low, otherwise they might increase my FRP deductions. I told her I won’t be sewing today as it is the weekend. She and Karlee with Chris will visit on 10/14/2023.
