the new way to remember

Our dear friend, let's call her Ms. A, was bitten by a dog today.
She has some sort of agreement worked out with a work-place pal that allows either party a bit of free dog-sitting when going out of town. Today she was doing the sitting, and the dog bit.
Ms. A's friend lives around the corner from us, so she phoned us to ask if we have any band-aids. She dressed the wound here. She wasn't certain if she should go to the hospital for a bite from a dog that she sort-of-knows. It's new year's day, so the hospitals are probably pretty busy. Her leg wasn't hanging off her, and no blood was visible on her clothes. She wondered if, since the bite had been through her jeans and not on bare flesh, whether antiseptic would be necessary. We encouraged her in its application.
And that's the sort of day it's been. Also, one of us had a birthday that all of us celebrated, with Nana and brother G. It was a pretty good one and the chocolate cake was delicious. One might suppose that Holiday-season birthdays are a bit of a let down, but in this case that supposition would be FALSE.
Now I will return to outer space for a bit of sleeping and dreaming.
This is the first post. I would say "I hope you have enjoyed it" but if you are us from the future, I know you will have, and if you are not, then I have no strong feelings either way. You are free from judgement.
