This can be a challenging time of year for me and especially now in this stage of the pandemic. It’s impacting work more than ever and there is so much I’d like to get out and do, but shouldn’t and patiently waiting for things to settle down and get more under control at work. It’s […]
Splurge Eats for the List
It’s been a long week at work, we’re grateful for a long weekend and it’s been a productive one so far deep cleaning the house, minimizing, and chilling with this sweet guy. He looked so adorable snuggled in his red blanked gazing at us, but decided to look away as soon as I attempted to […]
Fresh Eats for the List
Back to the grind for the new year with busy work weeks, but Miko has been having a wonderful week getting walks, eating plentiful amounts of cooked sweet potato, enjoying his vast collection of warm blankets and using his ramp to freely enjoy the heated bed pad on our bed. I have been enjoying getting […]
2022 for the List
Happy New Year! But I am sad that we lost Betty White just before. What a legend and such a talented icon. I started watching Golden Girls again yesterday on Hulu and wowed at how edgy of a show it was and holds up today. It’s been a relaxing and cold long weekend here, Miko […]
Feeling Holiday Ready for the List
Less than a week until Christmas, crazy right?! We have been preparing and being lazy this weekend in the foggy, wintery, cold weather. Miko has been happy to cuddle in warm blankets and laps and has been embracing his hoodie for walks in the cold. But wants it off as soon as he’s back in […]
Celebrations for the List
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. We had two, a small one with my parents on Thanksgiving, then a large one with all the family on Saturday. Both great and it’s been an interesting week here. Late after work on Wednesday, I got a call from my mom that she had taken in a […]
Ready for Holiday Fun for the List
Whoa, Thanksgiving really is next week. Still trying to wrap my mind around that and looking forward to down time with family and friends. It looks very fall and festive here with overcast skies, turning leaves, and chilly temps. Miko has been refusing his early morning walks because it’s been too cold and misty outside. […]
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 […]
Fall Fun Times for the List
Happy Halloween! Have any fun plans? We’re handing out candy, recipe experimenting, and drinking wine – not a bad way to spend it. Fall is in full swing here and it’s gorgeous with rain, turning leaves, and greenery returning after last weekend’s massive rain storm. A few weeks ago I snapped a pic of an […]
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. […]
