Ranking TTPD

There has been a lot on my mind lately, and TTPD coming into my life has stalled my decision making process. I can no longer comprehend anything that is not Taylor Swift related. I have been swept away by the sadness and the rhyme and the amazing double meanings to songs. And then of course …

Laundry Day

On my days off, I try to complete a to do list so that I can feel some sort of accomplishment. Sometimes, that list is long and seems possible. Other times, short and completely impossible. This time, all I really want to do is put my clean laundry away. The washing and the drying doesn’t …

A little lemon goes a long way.

I'ro has done really well with his training. He's grasping most things very quickly and he is always so eager to learn more. I couldn't have asked for a better student pup. Tail wags and tired evenings have been frequent around here. I, however, could use some work. I wish I could say that we …

Lots of learning to do.

I reached out to a dog trainer friend for I'ro. We are making progress, but I need better structure to teach him more, and since this is my first time training a dog with his energy level and temperament, help is much appreciated. He loves the training times now when the trainer is here, but …

Reader, it has been a while

I have fallen hard off of the writing bandwagon. I'm not even writing in my personal journals or responding to mail. This past bit has been... well, it has been something. I feel that I have grown a lot and also not at all. I want to write, I just can't force myself. I need …

A Blessed Morning

On a blessed morning, I'ro will allow me to sleep until 7 am. Today I woke before the sun, 5:30 am. Tail wagging and small nibbling, the puppy let me know that he was ready to get up and go. But, first, I had to do the human business of putting my socks on, brushing …

What are we gonna do, 2022?

Presently, I'm trying to keep everything together. I took a much needed break from most social media for a while. I also took a break from reading and focused more on watching movies and YouTube videos. I wish I could say that it made me feel better and that I am a new person again, …

Hero: An Adjustment.

I am having a rough go of things, y'all. Long story short, I have a dog again. I'ro was the name given to him, but we tweaked that a bit to Hero. And that's what this pup is to me. He's my hero. Because he just keeps going. All day, he loves to run around …

just one day

Every single time I sit and try to write, the words don't come. The need to write is there. The all consuming feeling that I must write something overrides my ability to do literally anything else without thinking about how I would write that scene. But, the words don't come. I want to have a …

January 2021 Wrap Up

We made it through our first month of 2021. How is everyone doing? Everyone okay? This month was a welcome return to semi-normal for me. I feel like I've become more attached to my blog than ever, and I can't wait to see how my reading stats change this year. This month, while almost normal, …
