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 […]
Just Hanging for the List
Here we are at Sunday again and me mentally preparing to face another work week – I can do this, yeah. It’s interesting times here and I’m sure everywhere. I hope everyone is hanging in there. Miko has been very happy to hang out chilling in the AC and being a sweet buddy to us. […]
Forty Something for the List
Hello, it’s been a quiet and hot weekend here with eerie full moon shots looking very bright on Friday and creepy and red last night from smoke. We’ve been keeping cool inside with Miko who has been such a sweet, cuddly guy. He seems to be doing okay on all of his heart medications which […]
Quiet Weekend for the List
It’s been a low-key weekend here, we didn’t even step out to eat because I spent some time working this weekend. Ugh, I hope things settle down soon. It was another hot weekend and Miko was perfectly happy to chill inside with us. I did get out for some runs to take in the scenery, […]
Burning Up for the List
You’ve probably heard about the heat wave in the north west and this has been a brutally hot weekend! 113 degrees yesterday and 109 today with it not cooling down for the night. I’m feeling a little cooped up keeping Miko company inside and away from the heat, I think the poor guy is getting […]
Over the 4th for the list
The older I get, the less I enjoy the 4th of July. This year was especially tough trying to protect Miko from firework anxiety with his heart condition and worrying about fires with it being so dry and in a bad drought already this year. Miko hates fireworks, hates them. So we usually end up […]
Summer Vibes for the List
I am still getting used to California being “open” again, it does not feel right to go into a store without a mask after making that a habit for so long. And maybe that’s a good thing for now with the variants out there. We got a little break from the heat last week where […]
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, […]
Back to It for the List
June already? Whoa. I am trying to get back to a healthier place after a tough year and decided to get back to the gym this weekend because finding drive and motivation for home workouts has been increasingly tough lately. It was an interesting experience working out with a mask on, but nice to get […]
