Changing Seasons
Scooby and I have really enjoyed our local public pool this summer. It took him a week or so to warm up to playing, but this afternoon he was taking a running (think toddling) jump into my arms in the adult pool. He’s really kicking his legs, blowing bubbles and is just a little too brave for my liking. I think if the summer were a couple months longer, I’d have that kid doggy paddling laps, maybe even doing the…

Part of that time was coupled with feeling nearly driven over the edge by insomnia. So to ask me, “are things getting back to normal?”, I’d have to ask you, “normal as in sleep deprived adjusting to being a new…

Day 1 Back at the Wheel
Today wasn’t as rocky as I was expecting. I managed to squeeze in enough time in between grocery shopping and feeding Scooby lunch to throw two pieces. The first is a small mug; the second is a serving dish. I’m not sure yet if the leaf fits, but it was fun to play.

TMI Tomatoes
Because I have no filter, I’m just going to put this out there – no apologies. I have been peeing a TON. Today I went to the doctor to submit a sample for testing in fear of a recurrence of an infection, but all was clear. The funny news is, according to my doctor, my ingestion of copious quantities of tomatoes from the garden has most likely irritated my bladder. Don’t believe me? Read this from the Mayo Clinic, go…
