What a difference a day makes

Filed Under: random thoughts

We had an appraiser out today, he looked eerily like Al Gore, thank goodness my recycle can was in full effect. In preparation for that, I was cleaning like a mad woman and, as my grandma used to say, was busier than a one-armed paperhanger. The guy was here for 10 minutes tops so I felt a little deflated that I had spent all that time cleaning up. However, had he walked in an seen this:
I think the appraisal would have turned out in the negative numbers!

This afternoon, I offered to watch my niece for my sister who was feeling very stressed out. See, the baby has had a wacky nap schedule lately so when she won’t sleep, it stresses my sis out. I can relate because I was like that, too. You know how it is. I’m just here to offer moral support. Check out how cute she is:

I just love those arms and her legs? wooo! don’t get me started. Mine look a lot like them, with rolls and such, but somehow it’s not as cute on me.

    Oh-so-cute!

    Be prepared to find salami and cookies in those lower cabinets… I know it’s been a while since your boys were small.
    And you’re not getting to see her day to day mischief (cuteness) anymore!
    Glad you got to save sis and admire the little tot.

    Well, I still see her almost every day. My sister lives just around the corner and she’s my best friend so we hang out a lot.

    Did I mention we’re married to brothers? 🙂

    Believe it or not I’m still finding Nilla wafers that the little cutie walked around here with. That’s how good at housekeeping I am…Also, the boys being official kids doesn’t exempt us from finding odd things. Now I get worms in pockets and the like. And my husband wonders why I hate doing the laundry!

Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misd Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misdiagnosed by the first vet we used here and that led to a situation where the treatment almost seemed worse than the disease. Thankfully, @lawndale_vet helped us navigate that situation and they have nursed this big boy back to a much happier place. We still are uncertain about how much time we have left with him but, for now, he is the happiest we have seen him in a long time. I am so thankful to the staff at Lawndale for, not only providing great medical care, but for loving on him and making him feel like the best boy ever at each appointment. ❤️❤️❤️

This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been suffering with licking granulomas since last March. We got the first one healed and then he got one on his other paw. Then that one got better but his paw pads got rubbed raw by the protective boot he was in and now are infected. Fingers crossed that this cone helps keep him from licking it so he can heal. Until then, Bowie is going to be a very sad boy, indeed. 😢

Yes, it’s still almost 80° here in NC but I’m getting impatient for cooler temps. Trying to will the cool air in! And how cute is that plate behind my cup? My sweet friend @tlventura made it for me and it’s one of two fall decorations I kept when we moved. Hope you’re having an awesome day wherever you are, friends!! ❤️❤️❤️
