I mentioned I joined an "Advice for New Puppy Owners" Facebook group recently. It's been both interesting and helpful. It's a very active group, and people post questions, discussion, advice, etc. It's been nice to know there are other people "in my same boat", learning as they go and figuring out all this puppy stuff.… Continue reading Overdoing everything
Sneaking this in at the last hour! Can't miss a day in NaBloPoMo. I just got home from the gym about 20 minutes ago. It's currently 8:59 p.m. Inspired by Kelsey on the recent Girl Next Door podcast, I have been really trying to get a little creative with my workout schedule. On their great… Continue reading Late night post
These last few weeks we've been trying to weed out some of the boys' old things. Specifically, jackets. We have a rather large stockpile of very nice but now too small coats and jackets that have been accumulating in our basement closet. Some are dressier styles, some are fleeces, some are 3-in-1 winter jackets, etc.… Continue reading Selling stuff and a nice message
Halloween is over, so Christmas is somehow on the horizon already. First order of business.... take down my Halloween stuff. Which is all definitely still up, including the orange outdoor lights. Eh, what's the rush. But I am feeling a small sense of urgency to get a move on in the Christmas department, because we… Continue reading Christmas ponderings
I just wrote a whole post blabbing on about feeling discombobulated today and some things that weren't working and what the potential causes were. And then I deleted the whole post. I don't know, it was annoying me to even read about it. So if I don't want to read about it, why would you?… Continue reading Monday struggles… deleted post
Happy Daylight Savings Day to all who celebrate. 😉 I definitely LOVE the "fall back" way more than the "spring ahead". Yay for more sleep! And this weekend, I needed that extra hour. As you know, my Thursday-Friday were very short in the sleep department. And today, I'm writing from an Aquatic Center lobby while… Continue reading Sunday scenes + dog humor
Thanks to all for the well wishes after my mom's fall! She is doing pretty well, or as well as to be expected. She's in her usual good spirits and otherwise totally fine, as long as she doesn't move. Moving around causes significant pain, so I think it's just mostly frustrating for her to be… Continue reading Saturday misc. + books
Last night was a long, stressful night! My parents came to town yesterday afternoon so my dad could work on the bathroom remodel. Well, everything was going fine, and we were watching a little TV with the boys before bed. Charlie, who has actually been much better lately in his Witching Hour, decided to put… Continue reading A rough night
Yesterday was the first day of NaBloPoMo, or "National Blog Posting Month". San has all the details on her blog, but it's an annual thing in November where bloggers post everyday for 30 days. I have never participated in this, though I did post almost daily during my early blogging days in 2020. LOTS of… Continue reading Blog challenge + post length
Happy belated Halloween. Hope you all had a fun and spooky day! 🎃 We got our first snowfall yesterday morning. Here is Charlie licking it to find out what the heck this cold wet stuff is: And now, on to November! Wow. There is a big part of me that keeps thinking it is like,… Continue reading November!
GRATEFUL KAE
