Fearful for the islands

 Jamaica has taken a pounding. Cuba and Bermuda appear to be next. I can't imagine the damage.

Has anyone seen any of it?

On another subject, Mercy is freaked out. Having spent the afternoon in her stroller, safely removed from the strangers that entered our home to retrieve and dispose of old Ikea furniture, she does not quite understand her missing loveseat and chair.

There is also a large box containing a roll up bed and mattress that a very kind postal lady pushed through our door after Fed Ex left it at the door. She also handed me the groceries I had ordered. It has been a long time since I encountered such a helpful and kind stranger. The guys responsible for haulage exhibited minimal politeness and efficiency and paid to do so, provided a service. The mail lady revealed kindness beyond the bounds of her job.

So, get a cancer diagnosis, realize someone may have to stay here at some point, the princess is to be boarded for a staycation at the veterinary hospital and there needs to be more than one bed because I do not share...Hence the roll up and an incoming orange metal daybed, sheets and accoutrements that is also to serve as a seating area.

A friend popped over for some chat and lite housekeeping and gathered the last of the Lukas fur from the floor in the front room. I am sad to see it no longer hidden beneath his favorite chair...

Have a good evening...
