Mornings with 4 dogs ...

... are BUSY (!!)  Four little needy dogs!  

A few good news things -- hubby comes home TODAY, not Friday.  He said he the trip was Monday-Friday when he first got word, but the actual itinerary was a day less.  My brain just kept thinking M-F.  

Also, he's getting a job offer tomorrow -- yeah!  Way to go.  He's super excited.  His current job never got off to a good start with the pandemic and logistical dynamics make it tough.  I hope he loves this new position.

In less good news ... ortho canceled my appointment (again) at the last minute yesterday.  That was fun.  Rescheduled for next week.

I air fried some tofu Tuesday night.  I put a piece in my mouth and headed out the door with the dogs.  It didn't feel overly hot in my mouth, but it did going down my esophagus -- I guess the center was super heated.  I didn't get to water quickly enough and now I have sternal pain and spasm.  When I swallow (at night or in the morning), it feels like something is stuck in my chest.  

Dr. Google confirms ALL symptoms are esophageal burn that will heal on it's own in 1-3 weeks.  It gets worse when you're lying down which explains why I felt okay during the day and it's back overnight.

Honestly ... some days it feels like I'm falling apart.

Back to good news -- lunch with my girlfriend at a local restaurant I haven't been to since 2020.  They put in a huge garden patio, fully shaded.  The owner sat me ahead of my gf arriving and turns out it's the garden patio because it's next to the actual garden.  He gave me more tips on veggie growing while I was waiting for her.  Tomorrow is an all-day-garden-things using the advice I've gotten this week.

Lunch with my aunt today -- she's delivering some of the art work I ordered.  Excited for both.

Hubby home today, kids home on Sunday.  I'm ready for both.  So is my grand-dog -- someone is missing her mama ...

Hope you have a good day.  Later gators.
