Well, happy Friday! Merle got her first dose of covid vaccine today and it is like a weight lifted off my shoulders. She was excited, and I was excited. So far she feels fine, just a minor sore arm.

I submitted my final assignment for school this semester and I am just waiting back to hear what my final grade is. I’m doing pretty well and I think I might pull off a perfect grade for this one class.
