HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!! A new week & new releases. What’s everyone reading right now?
THREE THINGS:
1.) I absolutely LOVE Dua Lipa’s latest hit “Levitating“. So fun and makes me want to dance and I love the video too!
2.) Did I tell you about my latest favorite “sparkling water” drinks? AHA (Coke makes ’em so they’re probably not all super-organic and fancy or anything – but no sugar – or even no artificial sugar – and I’m in!!) Boy do I love their flavors!!!! HOLY MOLY the strawberry cucumber ones blow my mind (LOVE THESE the most so far!!). I also love the apple ginger (when I’m craving ginger ale flavor), peach honey is fun, and cherry coffee <— caffeine in that one and it tastes like a tootsie roll (I’d say this is my second favorite flavor).
3.) Time for coffee!!

1. I found a new show to binge! I watched 2 eps. last night- The Wilds on Prime. I looked and it’s already been approved for season 2.
2. I also am anxiously awaiting the special dog bed and diapers I bought over the weekend. These messes are extremely stressful and I feel like this is about all I can do. Most of the time in the mornings, he’s waking up in it, so the bed is a little elevated (which he misses terrible, he’s a couch potato) and made of outdoor mesh. So it’ll go through and will stand up to washing. I can put a pad underneath. Then the diapers are what I already have, except the outside is waterproof, which is essential. Last night was right in the return air vet. 😡 *sigh*
3. I’ve been drinking more Liquid IV lately. I’ve never, ever been good at drinking a lot of liquids, water included. So, this helps me fuel my hydration better without taking in as much.
I’m so sorry you’re having to go through that Tasha! It sounds stressful!
Sorry to hear about that Tasha…hope things get better soon.
*safe hug to Tasha* ❤️
Thanks all. I think he’s fine though, just incontinence that really amplified from the first medication he was given. I was hoping it would stop when he was off, but doesn’t seem to be the case. Cough is gone as well as retching with this new medication. Occasional vomiting from upset stomach with it. But I’ll take it. It’s just so much cleaning. Right in the kitchen and it’s a small area, all the kids are in there, meals/homework, ya know? Have another vet appt. to check his kidney and liver levels Friday and then they want to proceed with steroid treatment. I may beg not to do that. Bc of the excessive thirst and urination. 😬 And, I don’t see what other benefits there are to it, he’s not coughing with this suppressant/antibiotic.
Whoa on the sparkling drinks!! I love sparkling. Is it bad that the first thought I had was, this would be great with vodka! 😆
LOL not at all!!! Makes total sense. 😉
I was thinking the same thing!!!
Great minds!
1. The Browns won their first playoff game since 1994!!!!
2. I don’t know how much Touchdown Tequila I had last night, but I counted 2 empty mason jars in the sink this morning!
3. I’m going back to bed!
Whoo!!! Sleep well! 😉
I gave up. I’m too excited to sleep! 😆
Every time I read your posts I want to have fun and have tequila shots…
Yay!! I’m glad I inspire fun! 🤣😂
What’s up with the Mason jars? I’m so curious!!
We buy big handles and I keep jars of it in the freezer so it’s always super cold. The jars are the perfect size.
So excited for your win!! I read a nice story about Curtis Mayfield and his wife helping a fan who had stage 4 cancer. The fan couldn’t stop saying how nice they both were.
Yes! That’s Tom Seipel! One of the Browns fan accts that I follow raised money to send him to the last regular season game and Emily Mayfield gave up her box for him.
1.I had a whole day of quiet reading yesterday.
2.Deep cleaning some closets. Sending my kids all the things they wanted us to keep until they “grew up” 😉
3.Beautiful walk last night…trees with twinkle lights in front of a small church
I did this with my daughter’s closet and she decided she didn’t want anything. I think that was her way of getting me to keep storing it. 🙄
OMG LOL!!!! I regret having gotten rid of a lot of my childhood mementos, but I did keep one trunk full (including a cute little baby dress my grandmother had made for me).
Yes, that seems to be what’s happening. My son came over and whittled it down from something the size of 3 garbage bags to half a bag.
My daughter is getting the other half of what’s here…the first half was not that popular – most will probably be thrown out. I hope she keeps some hand knit sweaters she had as a child.
By the way, my husband wants to keep everything. 🤷♀️
I need to do a big deep cleaning in my own clothing… it’s just so hard!!
I read High Risk Rookie by Odette Stone (4th book in the Vancouver Wolves Series). It is a hockey series but one of the best!! 5 stars for me. I wanted to give Levi a hug the whole way through the book!! New semester for my two high schoolers starts this week. They will be moving to 5 days a week starting next week. They have PM schedule which will be from (11:30-2:35). No lunch so my daughter will have to eat a combo break/lunch before school. Have you seen the cases in California of COVID? I have no choice but to send them as the online program is not an option for us and is not very good.
Thanks K. I didn’t know High Risk Rookie was out. I have enjoyed some books in the series and will try that one.
