Still wrapping my head around Thanksgiving being less than a week away, this year has both flown by and felt like it’s actually been 5 years long at the same time. That can’t be healthy. But hanging with a sweet work from home buddy who loves his soft blanket and being near my desk is. […]
Fall Fun for the List
I hope you’ve been having a great weekend, it’s been relaxing and fun here. We got new phones and have been having a great time playing with the new camera which Miko has been the subject of most photos – haha. Wow on the detail and low light action shots – those would have been […]
VCC Votes and Great Eats
What a week, right? I’ll leave it at that and note that Miko has been all sorts of cute this week being a sweet cuddle buddy when working from home, sharing weekend breakfast cereal with me, enjoying his dog friendly plates with us at dinner, and loving that it’s finally cold enough to use the […]
Day by Day for the List
Taking it day by day sums up this week month year. It was a crazy busy week that flew by. We did have good air quality and it was so nice to return to running outside regularly, gotta enjoy that while I can! I only worked from home one day this week and had a […]
Less Smoke for the List
This week we got a couple of days of decent air quality and a break from the smokey views! It was so nice to get in an evening run! The air quality is back in the unhealthy range again and smokey, but it was good to get a break and enjoy a little outdoor time […]
Still In Tough Times for the List
As you’ve probably heard, the entire west coast is burning. Thankfully we’re not directly affected by the fires, just lots of smoke and hazardous air quality making for another weekend sheltering inside. Tuesday was very eerie with ash raining down in the afternoon as I left work. I keep indoor pandemic masks and outdoor filtering […]
Better for the List
Well, it’s less smoky here now, the air quality has improved, but still not good enough for outdoor runs and dining out. And work has been busy, very busy. Friday was a very long day that started at 6AM with server issues, so it’s been nice to decompress a little this weekend. Miko has been […]
Melting for the List
Ugh, we are melting here with a high of 110 degrees. The weather has been so strange this week, but triple digits every day for the next 10 days is a little depressing. It was already hot when I got up at 6:30 am this morning and had to get Miko out on a long […]
Low Key Birthday for the List
Another week flew by and cases are so bad in CA now we’re just trying to hang in there are ride this out. Last week was my birthday and it was a low key day at home of presents, garden fun, vegan pizza and gaming. We joked at husband’s low key, shelter in place birthday […]
Garden Progress for the List
We’re still focusing on our garden during these crazy times and made a little progress this week around busy work schedules and triple digit heat. The starter plants are outgrowing the AeroGarden seed starter tray, so hubby finished up the drip sprinkler system on one of the garden beds to start relocating plants to – […]
