Daily Diary, Day 880: Going to be a very short post, because I was working away on writing (got up to 1244 words), when I got a text from a person I had a phone call scheduled with, reminding me our phone date. I had completely forgotten I was so engrossed with the scene I was writing.

I have just gotten off the call, and it is time to get dinner, so just a report on my day. No walk, but I did spend over an hour and a half doing the weekly deep clean of the downstairs, plus multiple loads of laundry, so lots of exercise.

I also, unfortunately, have developed a sty in my left eyelid (something I am prone to) which meant that I had no desire to walk. Most of the past year I've been able to simply soak eyelid for a day and the sty goes away, but this time...not happening.

It is supposed to rain most of tomorrow, so will probably not walk then either, but continue to soak frequently and hope the sty starts to heal because right now it's sort of painful.

But, in the spirit of making lemonade out of lemons, I will put the time I usually walk to good use writing tomorrow.

Here is a photo of our dog, all snuggled down with her pink dragon, her reaction to the chill in the air.
