Friends at the park
Wake up this morning feeling general unease. See that if stay in bed, general feeling will become specific--specific like a hydra, i.e. many headed. Pull on jeans, long sleeved t-shirt, sweatshirt, get leash from hook by door. Clip leash to Jenny's collar but let her run to Elevator with the leash trailing behind her. Serena and Great Dane Harold and feel relieved to see Friends. Serena wearing many scarves and appears to be wearing two skirts--somehow makes look glamorous rather than like bag lady. Asks in nosy way if there is anyone else who could walk Jenny or if it is just us two living in the apartment. Tell her about Dave, say that he likes to Sleep in the morning. Serena says, It is nice when they sleep. Nod head in agreement, but don't see what she means. Serena bends down to inspect Jenny's foot, grabs hold of snout and looks in her eyes. Jenny's eyes roll back in head but doesn't try to struggle. Serena lets go of mouth. Says that Jenny looks healthy. She does. We say goodbye. Jenny somewhat less agorophobic, practically prancing down sidewalk. Congratulate self on improvemnt that have perpetrated in Jenny. Unfortunately when reach door of building, Jenny very very scared of pigeon. When get back into apartment J. immediately hides under bed. Know very well how she feels, but tell her that it will Get Better. Dave openes eyes, asks What will get better? Tell him, from temporary raft of sanity, Everything.
