A Netflix series recommendation, and that poor naked dog we have...

Sigh of relief. 

My students felt that the AP Lit exam was okay. We will debrief today, but then leave it in the rear view mirror. 

I finished binge-watching a really complicated but well done thriller/mystery series on Netflix called Bodkin. The premise is that a man and his assistant, accompanied by a journalist who is in a spot of trouble, head to a small town in Ireland to track down an old, unsolved disappearances story for a podcast he is producing. Every step leads to deeper, darker secrets, and things get really sketchy fast. 

I enjoyed it immensely! It's not my usual fare, but I'm glad I gave it a look. 

And that all said, I'm hopeful that today won't be rainy. What a deluge we had again yesterday. I hope we are not getting the entire season's worth of rain in May. The drought last year was awful, and many areas are not even caught up yet. I do hope to get into my garden boxes to weed and so on this weekend, but the weather looks iffy. I'd like to prune the roses, but it doesn't look like there's a lot of die-back, so that's good. And the new Virgin Mary statue is still gracing my living room with Holly's May crown on her head. I do lead an odd life. 

Cece, our formerly hairy doggo, got a summer shave and hair cut yesterday. She is not happy with us; and the sad and resentful looks were a lot last evening. She's coming around now. What a difference though-- it'll grow, but it was necessary. She had knots and dreadlocks and matted sections. The groomer thought she'd never been groomed before (she is our little rescue), so it's good to get this done. She'll be happier in the coming heat, and we can watch better for ticks. 

Anyhow, I hope you all have a great day. Stay dry. Hold your loved ones close to your heart. Practice the pause.
