A Sense of Doubt blog post #3894 - Letter to Dad #006 - Essel is not Happy


A Sense of Doubt blog post #3894 - Letter to Dad #006 - Essel is not Happy

Hi Dad, I am behind schedule, so this will be short. 

I received THREE vaccinations yesterday -- flu, covid, pneumonia -- started to feel ill last night, Wednesday night, and spent all day today (it's Saturday now) on the couch.

I read a lot of comics.

It was nice to have a day of rest.

Essel was actually happy today, snuggling with me on the couch, even though she didn't get a walk.

This picture of Essel is from last Friday the 10th when I was watching the fifteen inning extravaganza game five, win-or-go-home ALDS game between MY Detroit Tigers and the Seattle Mariners, played just up the road from me in Seattle.

I think Essel could sense my angst at the long, drawn out, tie-score battle that ultimately the Tigers lost.

Or maybe she wanted to go to bed.

I will have more for you next week Dad.

I love you and miss you.

- Days ago: MOM = ## days ago & DAD = ## days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
