Errands today.

Errands today. The boys got pup cups. The lady at the pharmacy said that Bear looks mean. Knowing who he is as a person, I don't think I could ever see it. 😊 He's a sweet boy, even if he's wild and looks weird. ❤️

It's no secret...

It's no secret that I have indulged in retail therapy over the years.  Sometime near the end of last year I really cut out/cut down on buying stuff (most of which was nail polish/stamping plates and succulents) and by and large, I have stuck to it this year, too.  Even if I'm not doing my walking or my strength training, I have stuck to one thing.  Change isn't easy, so I'm proud of myself for that.

I've been trying to spend under a certain amount of money each month.  There are still things I want, but I am being very mindful and showing restraint.

I have also been showing restraint with my eating habits thanks to Semaglutide.  I mean, right now I could totally order and eat Crumbl Cookie.  I don't feel that it would make me sick and it does sound really good.  I am a little hungry and I might make a serving of pizza rolls in a minute... btw, did y'all know that a serving of pizza rolls is 6 pizza rolls?  Well now you do.

Anyway.  It's really nice that it doesn't feel impossible to have some control over what I eat.  It really did before.  If I had a craving, I was super unhappy until it was fulfilled, but then I was super unhappy for having done something that I knew wasn't healthy for me.  There was no winning.

So maybe I'm not gonna be buff and strong this year.  I don't know.  But I will save some money and slowly lose weight and that is progress.  I have a lot of work to do on myself, and anything is better than nothing.  I'm not saying that I wouldn't like to walk and strength train, but it's very difficult to stick to routines and I think that's because of how my brain works.  We shall see.

First therapy session tomorrow!

This reminds me of the time...

This reminds me of the time I was in Wal-Mart with Shaun and I was trying on shoes and I heard my ex who worked there come out from the back telling another coworker that I was crazy. He mentioned a length of time and that's how I knew it was me he was talking about. It was super hard not to pop out of the aisle I was on like "Who, me?" 😂😂😂

We were outside earlier...

We were outside earlier and Cub heard/saw either a person or a dog outside the fence and started doing his "I'm excited, come be my best friend" squeal, but no one came to see him. So he sat alone over there pouting for a bit, which is why this photo is all zoomed and a little blurry. 😂 He was so sad. He only put his ears up because Shaun was talking to him, but he wouldn't come. You can see it in his eyes that his feelings were hurt. I felt so bad for this sweet boy. 💔

In the 2nd picture I was getting some Cubba cuddles before bed. He's such a doll.

It's really nice walking weather lately, so maybe he can make some friends on walks pretty soon.

How cute is this?

How cute is this? It's how I give Scar his inhaler. He doesn't love it, but he gets treats and cuddles after, so he doesn't put up a big fight.

It's got a little valve at the top that moves when he inhales. I count 8 breaths with this held to his face and then he's done.

Got these chompers cleaned! 😁😁😁

Got these chompers cleaned! 😁😁😁

I love my dentist and I love getting my teeth cleaned and I LOVE that I'm to a point where I'm just at routine maintenance/cleanings.

This week is off to a good start!

Happy Bear. 😊

Happy Bear. 😊 Every time he gets the zoomies I feel so grateful that he can. I can't imagine how hard life would be for him to have so much energy and no physical outlet.

I think his favorite thing to do is splash around in the pool and then run around wetting us all up. 😂
