Adoption(s) Day?

We might have a twofer happening today.  Bear is headed to AL to for a possible adoption and MiMi is meeting her dog-brother to see if it's a match.  Fingers crossed for both of them.

If we have a double adoption this week, we are fostering a special needs dog starting Friday.  8 lbs and probably stepped on early in life.  Broken spine and broken leg -- both healed but healed improperly.  There's nothing that can be done surgically because of the combination of injuries.  She'll wear a brace on her leg during the day for the rest of her life.  She's a sweetheart and needs a place to land.  I asked hubby for a Valentine's Day gift this year -- a Tulip (she has the best name) -- he said yes 💖

Lunch was nice, seeing the kids was great, seeing the grand-doggies was fun too.  Came home and forgot to watch the Oscars.  I'll check out the replays today.

I'm watching The Great British Bake Off.  I started with the most recent season.  It's a fun show to watch -- although binge watching is getting a little old.  I'll probably give it a break, but it's nice to know I have tons of seasons should I need something relaxing and easy to watch.  The British are a funny people -- lord I love them.

The menopause book came -- it's HUGE!!  Guess I'll be very educated :)  Christiane Northrup is the expert on all things LADY.

Here's the goodie that I was INFLUENCED on ... actually started with The Barefoot Contessa and then some of the ladies on Instagram recommended Glossier products.  I need a new lip balm (the philosophy one I use is discontinued).  These come in flavors or no flavor -- color tint or no color.  Lots of choices.  My only complaint is you need to use your finger.  It's good for home use when I can always wash my hands ahead.  I'll need something else for my purse.  I also tried the perfume, YOU.  I wanted a second scent to wear around at night.  I get nose blind to my day scent (Light Blue).  It's okay -- might be a little sweet (or maybe I put too much on).  It suppose to be very different on each person and last a long time (probably put too much on LOL).

I like the mint (no color)
and the Rose (pink tint).

I read more of Dear Edward and it needs to pick up soon.  Still so darn heavy.  I'm ready for a lighter, happier read.  Somehow I don't think the menopause book will be that light read I'm needed - hah!

I should get some podcast listening today on my long drive.  I'll have to select one podcast per ride (there and back) because it's too hard to switch podcasts while driving.  The next one autoplays from the same podcast.  I'll start with Gretchen Rubin.  Her podcasts are consistently good and entertaining.  I'm nervous about this drive -- rain and potential flooding.  I'm not familiar with the area I'm driving through so I'm a bit worried about road flooding.  It's suppose to rain for the next 3 days or I would postpone.

My monthly is STILL heavy.  That's going to make for an interesting drive with a dog in my car.  Not sure how to handle it.  Bear might have to be in a crate in the car while I run for a potty break.

When I downloaded my phone pictures, a ton of old pictures re-downloaded (my wacky computer).  This oldie, but goodie ... Duke has the biggest case of FOMO -- always.  I hurt my ankle and had been icing it.  Went to the bathroom and came back to find Duke had stolen the ice bag and was sitting with his paw under it.  He watches EVERYTHING!!

Happy Monday.  Once again, stay dry and safe.  Sending out some good adoption vibes today.  Later gators.
