Where's the Beach?

Well, I won't start off by asking who all is excited that it's Friday. That's sort of a given right? I do know that I was beyond excited this particular Friday because it meant sleeping in and not getting up for a crazy-cold, dark thirty run. It seems like everyone is experiencing colder than usual temperatures. I know that when I say it was 13 degrees here this morning, you guys in the North will snicker and call it a warm front. I accept that. But for the south? Thirteen degrees is a cruel joke. I will say that the positive is that it is sunny out, and it's finally not gusting winds for a change. Good hair day! I feel like I've not been super attentive to my blog recently. My first reaction is to apologize. However, I won't do that. Work has been crazy busy, I've been sort of scattered in my thoughts and prefer to write posts with meaning rather than to write just to be writing something. Based on my post from the other day about bad nutrition ad...

It's (finally) that day of the week again - Fun For Friday . It's been a LONG week, ok, it's been the same number of days as always, but it's felt long. Work has been busy and then there's that whole waking up at 5 am to run thing plus getting in my weight workouts either at lunch or after work. So, I'm pretty tired by Friday. I did manage to get in one last early morning run today. It was one of those times when you do question your sanity though. The windchill was 22 degrees and the winds were crazy, gusting at 28 mph from the northwest. You never realize how often your route goes north or west until the wind is that direction. Despite the weather, it was still a good run. The moon, in case you missed it, was simply amazing. I'm glad that we had clear skies so we could enjoy the glow, especially on streets that for whatever reason don't have the street lights on. What's up with that? Anyway ... I've done a few Runfession posts, but t...

It sure feels like it's been a LONG time since the last weekend occurred. Our household has had some major ups and downs with the pupsters. Last Saturday, Maddie started throwing up then having major diarrhea and then not wanting to eat. After a call to the vet, and some anti-everything meds, she seems to be back on track. She was feeling good enough to eat the most recent bed I attempted to buy for them. Now Heath Man is under the weather. It started the other day when he didn't want breakfast. But he did eat dinner. Then the next day he refused both. He's not acting super listless, but he's starting to be less peppy and not wanting water either. This means another trip back to the vet. And we're pretty certain it has to do with his Gallbladder Mucocele  disease. He's been on medication since his diagnosis and has responded astoundingly well. The vet was actually surprised by how well his levels (whatever all they measure) were at his last visit. Not sure...
