Oh, I totally forgot to tell you about what Max did yesterday. I was out back trying to get some yard work done, and he decided he was going to help by digging up the same spot I was trying to flatten. He kept bringing me his slobbery tennis ball every two minutes, dropping it right on the pile of dirt. Then he just sat there staring at me with this goofy look until I threw it. This went on for like an hour. I barely got anything done, but honestly, it was pretty hilarious. He is such a goofball. Anyway, hope you are having a good week. Let us catch up properly soon. Oh, and I finally tried that pasta recipe you sent me last month. It was amazing and totally worth the effort.

Man, this 1000-piece puzzle is driving me crazy. I thought it would be a fun way to relax in the evenings, but I have been working on it for a week and I am maybe a third of the way done. It is a picture of a bunch of different books on a shelf, so all the spines look almost identical. I keep trying to force pieces together that clearly do not fit. Last night I accidentally knocked the whole table and almost lost everything. My cat just sat there watching me, looking totally unimpressed. Anyway, it is keeping me busy. Let me know if you want to come over and try to help, haha. I ordered takeout last night because I did not feel like cooking after all that frustration.
