This week flew by and it’s almost October, Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge month! And a good month to consider going back to the gym, haha. I got up very early Saturday to be at a nearby ranch at 6am to volunteer for an endurance race a friend was hosting. Basically race participants could choose to […]
Hints of Fall for the List
It is starting to feel like fall this weekend, we got wind, rain, cool temps, and no wildfire smoke. So exiting we picked up pumpkins at Trader Joe’s and opened the windows for that wonderful fresh rain smell. Still eating like a queen for work lunches at Zest Kitchen and Pho Vegan Asian Cuisine as […]
Peace and Bad Air for the List
Happy Sunday, hope you’re having a good weekend. It’s a smoky weekend here due to the Mosquito Fire, snapped this eerie view driving to work Friday, But nothing compared to those impacted by the fire, hopefully it’s under control soon. I am still training and getting settled into the new job and missing Miko with […]
Great Eats & Positive Outlook for the List
Here we are at Sunday again, wow. It’s been a good and interesting week, I got a run in one evening taking in the views since it was actually cool enough after work. And Miko has been doing okay, coughing more this week. But he had a vet appointment Friday with X-rays confirming it’s not […]
Here Working Through Chaos
Hello! I am here, but been a little quiet lately while working through challenges and feeling a bit overwhelmed. Miko is still here too and being as cute as ever. He had another vet checkup last week to check his kidneys after a couple of weeks on his new increased medication regimen and we’re happy […]
Rodent Saga Continues for the List
Wow, another weekend flew by too fast, I hate that! And our rodent saga is really heating up in the garden. So far I have caught and relocated four mice and two rats using three humane cages and monitoring activity in our garden during the night using a camera. No evidence that they are in […]
Celebrating Mom for the List
Happy Mother’s Day! It’s a day to celebrate my mom since we don’t have kids, I took her to lunch and set up her new tablet. Miko is hanging in there, more coughing this week which I suspect is related more to his allergies instead of his heart condition after his good vet checkup last […]
Plant-Based Steak for the List
Here we are at Sunday again after a crazy week that was a blur! We’re starting to encourage people to return to the office at work part time which will be nice seeing more people back in the office, but has kept us busy getting everything ready with moves and equipment setups. Miko is doing […]
Spring Vibes for the List
Easter was a great time with family, Miko was happy to snooze in his lap blanket while the bigger, younger dogs played hard in the backyard. Miko is doing okay this week, he has lower energy days with more coughing, but still a decent appetite and good about taking his medication. And happy to enjoy […]
Vegan Burgers for the List
It’s tough to face the work week ahead after a nice weekend, but we are getting some rain this week which is exciting for this area. Miko will be happy to enjoy the rain in his comfy, dry bed. Miko is doing okay on his medications. Still coughs frequently, but has a good breathing rate […]
