Eet’s all white

Currently

Started to snow around noon here. We’ve been in the 40’s all week and it’s  been really cold and icy. I’m sure the snow may stick around because of the chill. The ice certainly hasn’t thawed all week. It’s interesting how as a child we are exuberant about seeing snow but now as an adult who is concerned about other things, I find that the excitement is bowled over by the thought that is not good for the roof.

I thought I’d take some photos of Chewbacca because he had to potty and loves the snow. So I followed him outside and watched him for a bit.

These are what I captured.

What?

What?

Little bits of snow on his mug and head. I doubled up on shirts for him because I only recently cut his hair. The blue collar one and then a basketball Jersey that says USA on it. (It’s a weetle tight.)

I’m working on helping him lose 5 lbs. With my mom’s medical issues, Chewbacca spent time in her bed on her bad days and didn’t get the exercise needed. Being her dog, he wanted to remain with her. I have my hands full so when she sleeps on those bad days, I tend to let her, and avoid waking her by taking him, haha. While my brother was truck driving I was using his treadmill to exercise Chewbacca (after my own workout), but now that brother isn’t working on the road he piles random stuff on it and it’s difficult to keep clean.

I’m attempting to take a break today instead of working. I installed a new theme on my site so I have been playing with the colors, updating my header and gold link color I used, and trying to simplify my sidebar more. Because of all that piddling, I thought I’d give my brain a break. For the strangest reason, I find my anxiety start up if I’m on “digital” too much. That includes phones, Web sites, sometimes too much TV works. It’s almost anything electronic. When I overdose like I have this week, I take Sunday off to replenish. Technically I shouldn’t even be blogging, but I’m going to read after this.

A random short story idea struck me  while I was taking a shower –  go figure –  so I kinda want to work on that, but I think I’m going to write that first part in my head on a sheet of paper, and then see if I want to keep going that way, or leave it. I find writing short stories is much easier for me if I do them with good ol’ fashioned pen and papeh.

Hope you’re having a relaxing Sunday too. If not, try and get some time to yourself today to breathe and relax a little. Gosh knows we could all use a break.

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's   GBE   is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me.  That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even.  She said:  "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life."    Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works.  A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w...

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

(GBE2: Blog On) Let go of the reins and you'll know freedom

This week's (4th) GBE2: Blog On topic is "Control." For more info head here I admit it, I'm a type-A personality. It was a learned behavior. I felt as though I needed to be in constant control of everything around me. I worked 3 jobs and went for weeks on occasion without a day off. I still felt as though I wasn't doing enough. Not around the house, not with my friends, not for dating, not even for work. I just have always had this "I'm not doing enough" attitude instilled in me from a lot of the immediate people around me. So a lot of my behavior was ingrained so deep that I still suffer with that. I feel as though no matter what, I'm not doing enough, being the best I can be, and all of that great unhealthy attitude one should not have. But I do. And I know it's not good, but I still suffer with feeling inadequate because I am just not doing enough. Which is wrong. It's just something that I suffer with. I admit to it....
