It is finally not as smokey here, we’re getting blue skies and pretty sunrises for our morning walks, or more morning carries for Leela. Miko has been full of energy lately, ready to play and play in the evenings bringing us multiple toys from his toy box until we start throwing one for him. But […]
House Guest & Vegan Burgers for the List
We are dog sitting my mom’s dog, Dasher, for the next week while she’s on vacation and he’s not sure about being in our house yet. He’s on the, uh, heftier side and does not seem to like any of our dog beds, but he loves following Miko around. My mom swears he’s not over […]
Disconnected for the Weekend List
I am fully enjoying our long weekend and having a lazy morning this morning – planning a late run here in a bit then off to a Sacramento Vegetarian Society board meeting and planing for next year’s SacTown VegFest. It’s been an interesting week with hubby on business travel and me getting the house to […]
Surviving the Heat
Ugh on the heat here this week, over triple digits for the next week and 111 degrees for Friday and Saturday! Odd and scary to be this hot this time of year. It’s been sucking my energy and makes everything feel slower and dragging. Including poor Leela, lately taking her on walks has been even […]

But there’s a lot going on with work, projects outside of work, and Christmas planning. That mixed with just being busy in general the last few months and feeling the stress of […]
Easy One Pot Meals and Leftovers
Leela is getting pickier about her food as she ages, maybe sensitive teeth. Lately she’s been lightly snacking on her dinner bowl throughout the night in stages. I need to get her the smaller V-Dog kibble soon, so glad that’s an option for small dogs now! Smaller kibble should absorb water and veggie broth quicker for […]
Simple Weeknight Meals
Friday is almost here and I’m having a glass of wine to celebrate it. No, this post isn’t going Whine About It style, but I would like a wine glass that large. The problem with being really busy at work and maybe a little drained from marathon training is I’m just not feeling getting creative […]
