I was dressed, packed, and ready to get on the road early today; 5:15! Then I couldn't unlock my bike lock. I spent ten minutes fighting with it, by which point I would have missed the early train so I took the car.
My Kryptonite U-lock is as old as my bike, which makes it almost 19 now. When it acts up, some oil usually makes it happy for a while, so I'll work on that this afternoon. I should have done it when it started misbehaving a while back; deferred maintenance never works out well in the end.
I walked to the post office yesterday to mail three books and a couple of checks only to realize they were closed for veteran's day. I'm often really glad that the post office is just on the next block. At least Amazon gives me another day to ship things when there's a federal holiday.
Rufus was driving me crazy last night. He kept crying and whining and nothing I tried seemed to be what he wanted. I think some of it might be boredom, but I'm keeping him on leash because I still don't trust him not to pee in the house. I try to keep him entertained by giving him his squeaky toy that he likes or playing with him at the edge of the couch. He likes it when I kind of keep him going from side to side of a couch cushion by giving him pets on each side and making play-growls at him while he bounces around and growls back. He's still a bit bitey, but I think that's getting better. But all the whines and cries are frustrating and distressing. I'm going to do more reading about toy breeds and Chihuahuas in particular.
He hasn't had a seizure since last week Thursday, so that's good news!
