First Day Back at Work
Nov. 18th, 2025 08:41 pmWoke up a little before my alarm at 7 AM. Took the dogs out, and decided to go back to sleep for a while. Overslept. Oops. I was dreaming that I was writing a bisexual romance.
Gracie is curled up asleep like a little angel. Damn, the dogs are tired. I guess that they wore themselves out running around at the kennel! Gracie is coughing, and the kennel said that they had a case of kennel cough. I need to call the vet. Done, and I have an appointment this week for her.
Hmm, I think that I want to go to the all-choir carol concert at the uni in the beginning of December. Also, signups are available to do Dial-A-Carol.
I think that I want to nap over lunch and take my shower in the evening. Travel takes it out of me. Overslept my lunchtime nap too. Damn, it's been dark all day. That's probably why I overslept. Oliver wants to spend time with me too. I had to evict him from the bedroom when I took my lunchtime nap because he was lying on my pillow, watching the dogs wrestle.
Well, I got back to Tuesday going through my work email. It's a good start.
I couldn’t find my one pair of “at home” glasses when I got back. How do I keep losing glasses? I even lost a pair on the ship, and I can’t blame Gracie and Bella for that. Luckily, two more pairs of ”at home” glasses came in the mail, so I have a pair.
Bella is back to making me bribe her to come in. That didn’t last long. I told Gracie that next week (!), the new fence will be up, and she’ll be able to chase Bella off-leash. It’ll be like a mini dog park! Speaking of which, I’d like to put Bella and Gracie into doggie day care one day a week so that they can socialize, but I can’t do that until Gracie’s kennel cough is cured anyway.
I’ve been getting ads for heated cat beds on Facebook. I kind of promised Zara one for Christmas. The dogs’ gift will be the new fence (an expensive present!) plus maybe some new toys.
Ack! I saw someone that I’d like to talk to on Bumble BFF, but apparently I need to download a new app and renew. But I got an error when I tried.
I should take out a bag of garbage and get the rest of the mail in. But I think that I'll go to bed early tonight. Or take another nap.
Fed us all. Bella was licking Gracie, and Gracie didn’t want her to stop! Did Bella just cough? Crap.
Got the garbage out. I’m starting to bring in packages from the porch, but I need to rest my back a moment, so I’ll post.
