Tuesday Things

Good morning.

Did my morning news check and now throughly depressed -- one day I'll wake to happier news.  Time to lift UP again.

We had our date evening last night.  Dinner and a movie.  Last night's dinner was mushrooms and meatballs in sauce that I jushed up with a parm cheese rind and some red pepper flakes.  Topped with fresh grated parm and it was yummy.  I had mine over spinach.

Movie was so-so.  Dark Water.  It was an interesting real life story about Dupont poisoning the water of a small town in WV.  My complaint?  Way too long.  It was over 2 hours and very slow in the middle.  Cut it by 30 minutes and it would be a winner.  Also, not exactly an uplifting subject -- uplifting works much better right now :)

We decided to put Tater Tot up for adoption and not foster fail.  Duke isn't happy and the little bugger is getting more and more intense with Duke.  We can't understand why Duke doesn't want to play with him -- guess it's the puppy energy.  I was a little sad about it yesterday, but it's the right decision.  Duke comes first.  He'll be adopted quickly when he's ready to go.  Little man has figured out pee pads during the pouring rain -- dang, he's smart.  Someone is going to be very happy adding him to their family.  Great name WASTED again -- hah.

Always FOMO.
HAD to try the puppy pen.

I mean, come on.

Virtual coffee with one of my favorite girlfriends today.  I'm excited.  If this is fun, I'm putting it out to my gal-pals.  It's more formal than a phone call.  It's actually planned on the calendar ... just like an actual coffee date.

I might not get my morning or evening routine back until Tater Tot gets adopted.  Mornings and evenings are his highest energy time -- just like a toddler.  Especially the burst before bed -- energy mixed with stinkerness - hah.  Now that this is temporary, I won't do much to problem solve it (not much I can do anyway, unless I put it all on hubby).  Reading time is taking a big hit and this is such a good time to read.  Patience ...

Today is another 100% RAIN DAY.  Boy oh boy, we are being tested.  BUT ... the next few days look like cloudy with no rain.  Euphoria.

Hope you all continue to be okay and even better than okay.  Stay well.  Later gators.
