Coco was supposed to be here today while Ben worked, but he's sick. Plans thwarted, I'm sitting here at my computer listening to both dogs snore and trying to think of what to do today. Perry is working a double, and it's too early to put away holiday decorations even...

what my OURA ring revealed about 2023
Oura ring provided a year-end review for 2023 compiled of my recorded habits. Interesting stuff -- much of it needs to be addressed and improved. Let's dive right in... I typically get 6 hours and 2 minutes sleep per night. (While ok occasionally, that's not good...
today is the storm before the calm
Our family Christmas is tomorrow -- as I mentioned earlier... I have 2 celebrations on the same day. I'm looking forward to seeing Perry's Mom and having my tiny family here tomorrow evening. But sheesh! I don't know if I'm coming or going. Getting through today will...
need some holiday lights out here!
It's great weather for the hot tub... if only the wind would stop blowing. Nice and steaming now that it's cooler. It's ALMOST winter, y'all. Dharma loves it cold. Merida? Not so much. Dharma would get in that hot tub if she was allowed. Merida runs for her life when...

an hour of sleep disappeared
Thanks, daylight savings time. An hour of sleep that I desperately needed is gone. Since dogs can't tell time, but go by daylight/dark to determine when I should get up, I'm now pretty darned sleepy. They're tired too! Out and about... drove through Seymour... And...
it won’t look like fall for long
Winter doesn't arrive until 12/21/23, but what we think fall is supposed to look like is almost a memory. The leaves left on the trees are ASNutiful -- but many of the trees around here are already bare. Is it too early to decorate for Christmas? I will admit, I'm...
i did what i said i would do when i said i would do it
I ordered the dye for the floors in the office/family room yesterday. In addition, I ordered the stuff to clean the floors, paint trays, and a small pump hand sprayer to apply dye after the roll-on to give a more textured look. In addition, I've already purchased the...
