Good morning, my friends. I trust that y’all slept good. It’s a bright and sunny morning here, as the sun rises north of the wall.

Podrick let us sleep until 7:30. About a half hour to 45 minutes earlier – the game started. He jumps up on the nightstand. I get up, and he runs out of the room. I shut the door. Then Podrick lets us sleep until about 7:30.

But now we’re all awake, watching the news, and drinking coffee. Not a bad morning at all. I fed Pippin some wet food, so she’s enjoying that in the bed room. We’ll have something to eat later, after the shower. But before all that – coffee, and waking up.
