All is well. Upbeat tropical music is playing on bellingham radio station. 

UPDATE

It is almost 3pm and I took Billy out for a 40 minutes walk on leash. He pooped!  I bought cigarettes and a 1.5L of baileys. It should last us about a month. I feel very bad for my expensive beauty purchase next week: dye and cut : almost 200$! I have never ever paid that for my hair before (and probably never will again: this may be a one off splurge I hope!).
