Day 276

I finally got in that hike I'd been promising myself and it was so great to get out in the woods, far enough out that the traffic noise disappeared. I really pushed myself this time and that tiredness might be why I have felt so 'blah' the rest of the day. Had to take scissors and cut away some of Sable's fur since she seems to be developing some kind of skin condition. Hopefully it clears up without a vet appointment. Back to the blahs-I'm starting to feel like the only single woman left around here again. Big, empty, apartment and a growing feeling of purposelessness and getting a couple buttons pushed have me feeling like I'm turning into my father despite all efforts to avoid it.
