Happy Wednesday. It’s at this point in the week where I start to pine for the weekend. Just the idea of the weekend is comforting to me. This weekend we have some less than fun things to take care of but still, time off is time off. 

As you can see, Root Beer the cat has fit in quite well. The pic is a little blurry because she insists on getting so close to my phone. She and The Otter Pup are still “frens” but there was an incident where the pup got too close and got swatted at. In typically dramatic fashion, The Otter Pup fell off the couch, landed on her face, and lost a tooth. That tooth was loose anyway as she is getting older but man did she yelp. Root Beer was concerned and now the pup is more mindful of Root Beer’s whereabouts.

On Instagram the other day I saw something about Jack Kerouac. I’ve never read his work before. I’d like to but I have to catch-up on my reviews first. Perhaps that will motivate me to get through my list. Have you read his work before?

This Sunday my daughter arrives for a quick visit. She is exhausted and so homesick. She just wants to chill in her room. She is going to love Root Beer.

I am still reading The School for Good Mothers and Memorial Drive for book club. Still taking the pup and cat for walkies albeit slow. Starting to cook again but finding foods to eat after surgery has been rough.

The weather, though! So nice here!

Good morning! My son arrived from Kansas on Sunday and believe it or not, the Otter Pup and Root Beer are getting along pretty well. Root Beer is totally at home and jumping on everything, including the TV. The Otter Pup puts her in her place now and then when it looks like she is having too much fun. The pup doesn’t like it when anyone is too happy. I wouldn’t say that the pup is jealous but she did not like it when my husband called Root Beer “BABY” because that is what we call the pup. Lesson learned. 

This week, I am still functioning at less than 100% but every day is much better. Trying to focus on nutrition because I’m pretty weak but to be honest, I am not doing great in that area. Most of the foods I eat are on the “no eat” list for kidney stones. Spinach, nuts and nut butters, beets, almond milk, tofu, etc. I don’t know what to eat and nothing sounds good.

Reading is going a little better for me but man, I am so behind. At least nine books behind. I did download an audio book to try. Perhaps I can listen while taking my walks, although they are pretty short at the moment.

I have not been able to keep up with blog reading but I hope to catch-up next week. I hope you are all doing well and for those of you who checked on me all these weeks, thank you so much. I really appreciated the kind words and encouragement. Have a great week!
