What a day!

Today was one of those days that just didn't go as planned.

I headed out to the Jeep to go to a networking meeting and it didn't start.  Luckily, we have AAA! Free towing to the shop!  This was the first time in the 12 years we've had the Jeep it has ever had to be towed for not running.

Come to find out the mechanic thought it was the alternator so we'll see if I have any other problems.  

On the bright side - I'm getting a new iPhone! I found a deal $99 for a 6s 128.gb. Unfortunately it he only color for that price is rose and Dan doesn't want that color. 😜 So we'll still need to get one for him.

Another fun thing that happened today was we finally got to see the baby bunnies in our yard - 4 of them! 

Will it ever get easier?

So once I changed my Instagram to Daily Zed, I started following a lot of dogs and animals in general on ther.  I found so many dogs that looked like Zed. Chauncey with ckc_advetures who I originally saw on Tails of Gray Rescue (tailsofgray). Another was Elmer with Elmertakesmanhattan.  Elmer REALLY looks like Z.

Elmer hasn't been doing well the last couple of days, and the hurt for Z has really come back from me looking at Elmer's pictures. Does it ever get easier? 

My heart goes out to Elmer and his family. I so understand what they are going through. 

I just wish I could hug Esa and Zed again. 🐶💔

Jealous

Friday was tough.  I am part of a pet grief group on Facebook so that has been a good release for me. I have felt this since Esa passed - jealous. Jealous of people who have their pets for a long time. It really hit me on Friday so here is what I posted.

It was nice to hear I was not alone.  I know that there is a plan for us - just can't see it right now.

****

Jealous - all I can say is that I am jealous of all the people who have their fur babies for a long time. 

Jealous and asking why our fur babies were both taken from us after a short 6 years when we were the best parents. And only 3 years apart. They were our kids and our world revolved around them. 

Yes, Zed was older, but still had a short life considering we think he was 10/11.  Still thought we would have more than 6 years with him. 

We know several friends who love their animals, but kids and life come first. So jealous is the only word I can think of to describe my pain.

Cleaning and purging

So I finally got around to cleaning out my closet. I have so many clothes at so many different sizes, now that I'm down from my largest size (18), it's time to get rid of those so I don't go back.

I had two underbed storage bags FULL of clothes.  I went through the one back and I'm waiting on the other since they are mostly work clothes.

I went through my other bag of purses and pulled a bunch of those too.

Now - if I can sell some stuff, that would be great!  I'll be posting to Facebook and try to sell them that way. Otherwise, it will be donated.

What a day

So today was the first time in years I was out of the house for a good 8 hours.

I had two networking events and left the house at 9 am.  They were done at 1:30 and I had an appointment at 3:30 for a massage. - yep, that's right - a massage.  Anyway, instead of going home, I hung out at Panera around the corner from my massage appointment. So, I didn't get home until after 5 pm today.

So about 2 weeks ago, my shoulder started hurting. Last Tuesday, it was so bad, I could hardly move my arm.  I went to the chiropractor and was told it was my rotator cuff.  After an alignment, it felt better and the swelling went down some.  I was also told to go get a massage.

My shoulder feels so much better.

Productive Day!

Yesterday, we took it pretty easy.  We went to the movies - which we haven't done in FOREVER! We went and saw "Now You See Me 2".  By the time we got home, the day was over,so we just hung out.

Today was different. I pulled weeds out of the flower beds and then cleaned the inside of the Jeep. Dan was busy mowing and weed whacking the lawn then pressure washing the patio then putting sand down on it.

I've also been posting stuff for sale and for free on Facebook. I might try selling some stuff to ThredUp, but not sure if it will be worth it.  I might just donate my old clothes instead. I'm afraid that I'll send them int to ThredUp and then they won't accept them.

Anyway - time to get rid of stuff.

Networking, working, walking and Let's Go Sharks!

Today started early with me going to a networking event. So 2 days with ting up at 5:30 - so glad I don't have to do that everyday, but the best part of having my own business is that I can take a nap during the day!

I also can do walking during the day. Today was day 2 of walking the neighborhood. Yesterday 1.76 miles, today 2.09!

I was so happy that San Jose Sharks won last night! The opening commentary was so one-sided last night but I think it was because NBC sports was just assuming that Pittsburgh was going to win since they only need one more win. Or it could have been because it was in Pittsburgh, but we'll see if they do the same on Saturday when they play at San Jose.

Moving forward...

So I've been trying to figure out what to do with the blog since Esa and Zed are no longer around.

I'll probably just post about daily stuff and my opinion at least for now.  It'll be different than my Facebook posts. Of course those are private anyways.

Definitely need to do some updating on here - I don't even think the background layout works anymore and who knows about the plug-ins and widgets.

I'll probably be posting more from the Blogger app (which is what I'm doing now), which is limited.  BTW - I prefer to work on desktop on almost every app. I do the apps for on-the-go though.

So - what do you want to know/read/hear about? Ideas are wlcomed.
