Of course, you need to be careful where you take them - you need to be sure you’re walking your dog in a safe, dogs allowed area, and that unless you’re down the dog park, not to let them off the leash.  But at the same time, be careful about the kind of leash you use. For example, retractable leashes seem a good idea in theory, but they can work out terribly in reality. Both you and your dog can be hurt by one in an emergency.

Photo Credit 2020 has seen many aspects of our day to day lives change. We may not be able to mix households with others we’d like to see. We may not be able to travel. We may not be able to undertake all sorts of activities we’d usually be involved with. But one major change that many of us are struggling to get used to? The change from working in an office or other commercial space to working from home. The coronavirus and Covid-19 pandemic has seen countless workforces switch to working on a remote basis in a bid to slow the spread of the virus. Of course, there are many perks that can come hand in hand with remote work. You save money and time on commuting. You can wear more comfortable clothes rather than strict uniforms or office wear. You can make better lunches by having access to your own kitchen on your lunch break. But there are difficulties too. It can feel like your home and work life meld into one.

Hey Everyone Well this week has been a pretty good week! I have been busy with a little bit of this and a little bit of that and mixing it up and I seem to be in a pretty good mood, and feeling pretty o.k considering. I still am not really having a lot of energy/ feeling super tired- which reminds me WHY haven't I started taking my darn multi vitamins again yet? I REALLY need to work on that. That and drinking water!  I think I am LEGIT getting too much sleep so I am not really sure which way to go with that? It would be easier for me to stay up even later at night than it would be for me to try to get up and going in the mornings- as in when David leaves.. I think? If I could manage to get super motivated I might would be able to make that happen so I'm going to continue to work towards that. I am getting up about 45 min earlier than I was so.. Baby steps right? David is off ALL next week... so when he gets home tomorrow after work I've got him until the Monday after … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone Well, So far this week is going pretty well! I haven't felt too horribly bad, even though girly time is most def. on the way - but at least that will be out of the way before the weekend (or close to it I hope) and done by the holidays /before I travel and all that kind of thing (hopefully lol) I am starting to have some anxiety about traveling so I'm really trying to not think about it so much. It was always bad, but ever since my mom and dad had that wreck it is just crippling, honestly :( I have been doing a few small projects around the house - I started last Thursday and moved my trolley dolly out of the "office" it was in the corner beside my printer table and it just needed a different place to go- it has needed one for a while because it is so inconvienent for it to be there (it is this awesome little thing that you can put tons of groceries or whatever in and then roll it up the steps (or down) I didn't really know WHERE to put it , so I opted to go into … [Read more...]
