Junebug and Goodies (pictures)

Yesterday was up and down and up and down.  My grand-dog was set for spaying and ended up needed sinus fistula surgery, teeth pulled and turns out she's not a young dog as the original vet assessed (8 not 2).  The OTHER vet missed EVERYTHING.  Releash fired them.  It was that bad.

To add insult to injury, little miss has a false pregnancy --- producing milk and her body thinks she's carrying puppies.  Poor little lady.

Over Thanksgiving, in heat.
Look at that face!!

It was a hard day -- waiting for a long, late surgery.  Wondering if anything else was going to happen.  All seems well and we're picking her up this morning (her mama is going with me -- no podcasts this trip).  She needed to be kept overnight, as it turned out.  Unfortunately, the rain came later than expected and I'm STILL driving in the pouring rain.  At least it's daylight.

Otherwise, it was a nice day.  Lunch with youngest, errands and reading.  I ended up pulling A New Earth from the bookshelf.  Yep, I read it.  Lots of notes and marks -- I guess it was so long ago.  Dang, memory!  I started re-reading it and I like it a lot (more than The Seat of the Soul).  I think I'll listen to the podcasts and read the book.  It reads very easily (for some reason I thought it was a hard read).

I'll finish both books -- they work well together and relate well to Byron Katie's work too.  After they're finished, I'm hitting my fun read!

Speaking of fun, my packages are trickling in -- here are the 2 that arrived yesterday.

This is an essential oil, cool air humidifier.  Atlanta DOESN'T need extra humidity (hahaha), but I keep SMELLING these in stores and loving it.  It's a safer alternative to candles.  It has a colored light option.  Pretty and nice mood lighting.  I used it quickly yesterday but didn't notice the scent.  I probably need to add more oil.  I'll experiment with it.






Another cheap, vintage clutch.  From 1950's shipped from Paris.  It's really pretty in person.  I probably have enough clutches for the time being -- this might be the last unless something super unique jumps out.  Looks like a slice of watermelon :)






Carpets getting measured this afternoon and GNI ladies group tonight.  It's a long day.  I'm already craving bed and wishing I could stay home tonight instead and read.  Party pooper urge is STRONG! In the name of connection and variety, I'll force myself to go and maybe even enjoy the night.  I'm going to turn up my best attitude and see where that gets me.

I'm on the fence about continuing with the group.  It's not fun -- most months.  It's still stand around and eat and have boring conversation most of the time.  The ladies who were switching things up, dropped out of the group (they used work schedule as the reason).  That said, it's only once a month and I don't have to go every month.  Decisions, decisions!!  I'll probably hang on until I host in May and then decide either way.

I switched the carpet measuring time so I could workout this morning at the gym.  With the weather change (pouring rain with high wind) -- traffic will be a mess and Junebug's mama is coming so I need to add-on time to pick her up too.  It's too tight to make it to the gym.  Dang.  I did an easy arm workout yesterday so I'm going to do arms again, abs, plank and modified burpies ... all tabata style ... for a quick home workout.  That will get me back on my "normal" injury schedule for the rest of the week.

This week is lightening fast - anyone else feel this way?!?!  Have a great Thursday -- later gators.
