So, I came home with the souvenir nobody wants, though a Covid test was negative, but I'm still worried about bronchitis (I'm prone to that & pneumonia) so I'm laying pretty low.

My other souvenirs were amazing though. The memories in particular. The photos. The book I bought. The hiking-wow. I didn't expect there to be so much hiking on a trip ( Read more... )

Still had the migraine with dizziness at dance time last night. It wasn't so much the dance I worried about as the driving - especially in the dark and the rain. Hubs had a reunion party--two of his high school besties were in town to celebrate one of the besties' mama's 96th birthday party! :)

I just didn't have it in me as I was still feeling ( Read more... )

Working my butt off so I can have my creative day tomorrow. I so badly need it. And, it does sound weird, but more than anything...I just need a day I can count on to BE a creative day. One that I don't have WORK. I will build that up to more than one day, believe you me, but one day is a start.

The THIRD one in the past 2 months! 😂 This is for PAWS Giving Independence, which is a fundraiser that saves shelter dogs who haven't been adopted from euthanization and gives them a second chance as service or companion dogs. We maintain that if we hadn't adopted Reno, his easygoing temperament ( Read more... )

Took the puppy boys to Bark in the Park yesterday. Their anxiety--the car ride, the being with other people and other dogs, etc. feeds into my anxiety which feeds into theirs which feeds into hubs which feeds back into mine and it's just a vicious cycle. We didn't stay super long as a result, but the boys were on their very best behavior and I got ( Read more... )

Work, work, grumble, grumble, work some more, grumble, grumble... 😡 The work is never-ending. I don't see an end, so I decided to re-prioritize some things. Mostly the health stuff, including mental health. I'm now making yoga, dance, art & writing a priority because that was what was supposed to be the priority once we semi-retired. It's nearly ( Read more... )
