Early Monday morning we were woken up by an intense thunder and lightening storm that’s very rare here this time of year. That storm system caused a lot of lightening fires around the bay area and valley. Thankfully we’re only affected by the smoke and ash, but the air quality has ranged between unhealthy to […]
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 […]
Lake Camping Trip
Thank you for the kind words for Miko. We have been adjusting to his medication and waiting for a second opinion appointment. And just trying to hope for the best. He has been such a sweet heart and acting like his usual energetic and happy self. This has been an interesting week, we took a […]
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 – […]
New Garden for the List
To get through these interesting times, we decided to shift our focus to our backyard and make it more of an outdoor getaway and garden. We have a large side yard that had low wooden garden beds and fruit trees. But maintaining the ground around proved to be a challenge over the last couple of […]
Staying Engaged for the List
It’s been a productive week here while we try to stay safe and sane, lots of busy work days, Miko cuddling, and moving on our garden backyard project which I’m really excited about. Miko was happy to chill and pout at us for not going on enough walks during 4 days in a row of […]
Staying Healthy for the List
Or trying to, it’s not easy these days with so much going on! It has been a busy and not too exciting week here again. It’s getting hotter, so Miko is happy to stretch out in the cool air conditioning after a long walk. But he’ll make an exception for warm blankets that just came […]
Making Positive Changes for the List
Hi there, how are you doing? It’s been another quiet-ish week and weekend here with me partially working from home and the office. Our gym re-opened Friday which I was tempted on, but think I am going to wait it out until July and keep working out at home and going for runs. While I […]
Another Week for the List
And doesn’t that sound horrible? It’s been an interesting week for sure, lots going on at work and just trying to make the most of these interesting times. We had a few days this week of triple digit heat and I tried to go on a weeknight run after work when it was 95 degrees […]
