Herewith are assorted poodle pictures. When there’s a poodle in the house, you have to do what the poodle wants you to do. It doesn’t matter if you had plans of your own. Poodles decide for you. Mostly, they apparently want to have their ears rubbed and for you to give them whatever it is that you are eating.

I’ve also snuck in a picture of my new USB lava lamp :) A birthday present from my sister and niece and nephew.

Today we did get some things done in spite of poodle interruptions. Most importantly, I got a new chair to sit on at the desk. My old one was (1) dirty and resisting cleaning, and (2) no longer letting me adjust it. It had one height setting, the lowest one. This new one seems to have better back support, though it doesn’t tilt back like the old one. I think it will work however, and it wasn’t very expensive.

We also got some pillows and such stuff to try to adjust my bed further. I’m supposed to be sleeping with the head of the bed raised 8 inches because of the acid reflux. I’ve put wedge pillows between the mattress and box springs. That seems to be working, but my sister is going to help me put some non-slip padding between the two so that the wedge pillows quit sliding the bed down. Going to try to fit the pillows in better and make things more stable. The pillows made all the difference for my sleeping without problems, so I need a more permanent solution.

I did actually open a lesson plan today, but I never got anything done on it. I blame the poodle.
