Self Care Day

 Gideon and I both woke up not feeling well.  Most likely he was having a reaction to getting his second Covid vaccine yesterday.  I think I was just exhausted.  Knowing it was better to leave him home, Keziah and Zed went to a holiday gathering without Gideon.  After taking it easy with Gideon and watching some Christmas movies on Netflix, I felt somewhat better.  Gideon had a rough day, he seems much better now though.  Later in the afternoon Gideon's other grandmother came by to watch him so I could take the dog, Aesop, for a much needed walk.  We stepped out just after sunset.

Stepping out into the cold evening to walk Aesop was refreshing.  Since I had been sitting most of the day the dog and I took a good sized walk, about 2.8 miles.  Self care and caring for my grandson are my happy things for today.
