Puppies can be exhausting! We are at Mike's daughters place with 4 month old Brandy and Justice. Brandy is an endless font of teething energy. A lot to manage and we have 4 days of this! Justice keeps her in line from his perspective by showing his teeth when she gets too boisterous but he also decided to mark territory here in the house by peeing twice. Sigh...

One good sign: Mike's daughter was drinking non-alcoholic beer last night which she has never done previously. They are trying to get pregnant, so maybe?

We are leaving shortly to drive back to Cape Cod for the night as Mike and I are going on the Cape Cod dinner train tonight. I always wanted to do it and we finally are. Hopefully it goes over the railroad bridge which crosses the canal (it doesn't always if there is too much boat traffic). I made the reservation before we knew we were puppy sitting.

Have a safe and healthy Thursday!

Justice stole this bone from Brandy and is taunting her. He doesn't like bones like this usually! He also pushed her away from her food and started eating it though he already had his own earlier. LOL!

I may be small, but I am mighty, little one!

Justice rules!!!! ds

Liz, you crack me up! Puppies can be exhausting! Welcome to my world. I'm so used to puppies though, I don't think I really realize anymore how much attention/energy they really require! Plus, I haven't had pups in 18 months, so I have had a break.

I am getting jab #3 tomorrow. FDA/CDC are recommending frontline workers for boosters. I am considered a frontline worker, so I'm going to just get it done. I had to register as an at risk patient, which I technically am, but I did not lie on the questionnaire and it was accepted, so I figure I may be jumping the gun somewhat, but I'm still legit! What with the Covid19 going around my school and upcoming travel I think it makes sense for me to be a little OCD about vaccination and extra protection against the virus. (I lost a dog world friend on Monday from complications of Covid.)

Eating was just AWFUL yesterday. What is wonderful is that what I consider awful has changed so much from a year or so ago. Yesterday's awful was a chocolate mint and 4 Madeline cookies throughout the school day (one I can't even remember eating - mindless much????) and a little extra ice cream last night and no veggie for dinner. So my awful has changed a great deal.

Ceci, safe travels. I guess we will hear from you once you are back in Michigan and decently recuperated from your flight. It's always a bit sad to have to come back to reality, isn't it? But at least you are "retired" and in charge of your own daily destiny! That's a wonderful thing. Also, thanks for your answer about capacity. Sounds like you and I are somewhat similar perhaps.

I have to make some decisions about commitment to eating, weight loss methods, etc... in the not so distant future. Honestly, losing 65-75 pounds sound ominous without the help of surgical intervention. Talking with my nutritionist, she has said point blank that the changes in my eating will only take me so far and I have to decide what to do at that point. If I want and decide to lose more weight, restrictive eating will have to take place, which could be a trigger. However, surgery doesn't feel restrictive because of the capacity issues. Always something to consider when pursuing health.

Happy Thursday!

I will be getting my 3rd dose of Pfizer soon, but I'm nervous too. What if it makes me feel crappy for a few days? I hope for you, smooth sailing! Let us know how it goes.

A little less adrenaline fueled day today. Students took a test in 3of my 5 hours, so I had some time to crank out a million emails and tie up a few things.

I'm watching White Lotus on Hulu. I've watched 4 episodes. Its really a lot of unpleasant characters, but there are only 2 more episodes, and I am interested enough to see how it wraps up, so I'll finish the season.

My hunger woke up big time yesterday, trying to feed it with things like Chobani yogurt and eggs and cottage cheese etc. And soup, my I like soup :)

Hey DD we watched White Lotus. It has an interesting ending. Worth watching to see what happens to the self absorbed twits! DS
