Crazy that it’s December already and it feels like December weather this weekend being overcast, foggy, and cold. Miko is loving the excuse to snuggle in warm comforters fresh from the dryer, take in the fireplace and embrace his many warm blankets. But he does take breaks from his warm blankets to share meals with […]
Manic November for the List
November has always been an interesting month to me, a conflicted month. It should be a great month, the holidays and fun times with friends and family are here and that is great. But there’s also a consistent, underlying anxiety. The stress of getting ready for the holidays and pressure to make them great. With […]
More Vegan Chef Challenge for the List
Fall is finally here and it is wonderful with highs in the 70s this weekend. It has not been a wonderful week for Miko who started coughing pretty bad on Monday and went to the vet. I was terrified it was his heart condition escalating even though his breathing rate was okay, but it appears […]
October and Vegan Chef Challenge for the list
Woohoo, October is finally here and so is the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge! And there is a great list this year. We started out by meeting some friends at Pho Fresh last night to try their Vegan Chef Challenge menu and it did not disappoint! We managed to try almost everything on the menu between […]
Fall Ready for the List
It keeps inching towards cooler weather here and we’re all for it! Especially being able to take Miko out on more adventures with safer, cooler weather for him. He has been very happy to be a sweet couch potato and embrace the cooler weather for long walks. Things are still very busy at work and […]
Many Great Eats for the list
Hope you’re having a good weekend, it’s not as hot here with okay air quality finally which means lots of walks for Miko. Can’t wait until it’s cool enough to take him on more adventures locally. Miko is doing okay, he has started coughing more which is concerning and the cardiologist he saw in April […]
Visiting Stanford Inn by the Sea
Thank goodness for long holiday weekends to catch up and decompress, I have been feeling a little overwhelmed and burned out lately with so much going at work and general strange and tough times in life as many have. We got more help at work this week thankfully, so hopefully things will be getting better […]
Dining at The Ravens
I am here and we’re doing okay, though a little blue at spending this weekend indoors to avoid bad air quality from wildfire smoke. Poor Miko was frustrated with me this morning for not going on his long walk, he doesn’t understand the air quality is too risky for him. It does give me time […]
Getting Out for the List
Whoa, Sunday again after another weekend that flew by too fast. Not for Miko, he has been enjoying some serious napping when not begging during meals. I have been trying to use up garden veggies in simple eats, we are getting lots of summer squash to mix into soy curl sautés and tofu stir fries. […]
Plant Power Fast Food for the List
Another weekend flew by too fast, trying not to let the Sunday blues get to me here. But enjoying the unseasonably cool weather last week and getting out for more runs and walks was great. That will be a challenge this week since we’re back in triple digit heat, ugh. Miko had a play date, […]
