Duke is 5 today. He's an owner surrender who was puppy purchased by his original owner so we know his actual birthday. We adopted Monti on Duke's birthday so they have the same celebration day. It's fun (!!) Monti's age was an estimate, so we had to start with something -- he's 11 today.
They got groomed yesterday and Monti was matted. Hello, summer buzz-cut. The other groomer wasn't doing the best job I guess. He looks so different, but so adorable :)
Yesterday was an early cleaning crew so I didn't end up posting anything. When I'm on a "hormone" time, it's harder to get up early. I didn't have the mental energy to do much (up at 4 o'clock). I drank my drinks, listened to a podcast and took a Peloton ride.
This week is much lighter and I'm here for it. I have a mammogram tomorrow and a few little things on the calendar, but nothing much. I'm going to Asheville on Friday for a quick weekend trip. Trying a local restaurant and setting up a couple of rugs in the carriage house. I'm also exchanging some glassware because I needed something smaller and multiple colors so everyone didn't "lose" their glass with every sip of water (our dishwasher is small). We're also doing a paint can clean up to the dump. There must be 50 years of paint colors in the storage area. I debated if this was enough for a trip, but why not. The next couple of weekends are long and busy. Calling this a working weekend.
I'm fussing with food again -- specifically dinners. I'm bored with the usual suspects and I don't have the desire to figure out anything for dinner. That means snacking for dinner and that adds to my zapped energy. I'm going to think on this today -- maybe I need to "force" myself to cook. Soups tend to be a good option -- I have a couple of summer soup recipes.
Today is nothing major. Costco run after my morning routine and that's it. Guess I will put SOUP on the calendar for today too (do I sound excited lol).
I started the Jen Hatmaker bookclub selection -- All Adults Here (Emma Straub). I'm not far enough to have a big opinion other than it's not instantly good. I've been reading, but haven't been massively inspired to read. Reading is one of the signs I'm in my stride -- lots of reading. I have no idea why that correlates, but it does. When I'm pushing myself to read, I'm usually pushing myself in other areas too. Not flowing, just pushing lately. And I know it's all MORE on the hormone weeks.
That's all the rambles today. Have a good day and stay well. Later gators.
