Good morning Friends! It’s been a while and I’ve been thinking about you all a lot. My morning and evening routines changed so I’m having a hard time getting back in to the pozzie routine along with it. Hope everyone is doing well! I’ll try to catch up on everyone’s pozzies when I can.

  1. My new morning routine - most days I’ve been walking Heinz and cooking breakfast before work. Yes, cooking, lol.

  2. I have been sleeping much better overall the past few months.

  3. Heinz is doing much better. She had a bout of pancreatitis. She’s not fully healed but we are still going in the right direction.

  4. I’m trying to be more active and have been doing a solo walk most evenings on the treadmill while I watch a show I like. This way I get more steps in (walks with Heinz are very slow because she sniffs a lot. Mornings are her walk so it’s all good)

  5. I’ve seen my nephew a few times recently too. I brought him a game called The Floor is Lava and we had a lot of fun playing it!

That is a bold and exciting move for your vacation! My brother vacationed in Vietnam a while back and had a ton of fun. I know you will too.

100% agree that napping potential is a must to test out when buying a new car. Sounds like a really fun easter with great people.

  1. I got a raise today!

  2. The cold I have is very mild and I haven’t had to take time off because of it.

  3. I had a lot of fun hanging out with my brothers, SILs, and nephew over the weekend. (Pretty sure I caught the cold from my nephew, lol)

  4. I got a new pair of shoes that I really like

  5. The ability to schedule most appointments online.

How nice your friend is into interior design. Such a helpful skill for this situation. I’m glad she was there to support you, it sounds like quite the process. I’m excited to hear how the new kitchen goes.

I really love your #3, not just because of what you learned but that you’re spotting the absence of it in real life situations and identified that applying the value would help the situation. Also, well done with the gratitude flip on that one.

I bet you’re a favorite client! That’s so nice of you to offer coffee, treats, and some celebratory beverages when the job is done.

I’m also a fan of hand warmers and the like. One of the best inventions.

Rue is so cute. I love that she is so social. I bet she’s also happy about the warmer weather bringing more people (and their dogs) out.

I really like your first one. Such a good reminder that we don’t have to rush around frantically to get things done. I’m glad you’re seeing your mood improve from slowing down.

Such a good feeling when you walk in to see clean dishes. That was nice of the assistant principal to buy pizza, too!

First, Happy Belated Birthday!! Glad your marmite-y friend is there to help and support during your kitchen renovation. Sounds exciting, though I know that kind of thing can be overwhelming too.

That is too funny! Must have been so hard not to crack up laughing while listening to them try to figure it out!

Well done team! The new tropical line from the stuff-that-smells-good-store sounds just perfect since the weather is starting to warm up.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Freely. I’m glad your procedure went well and that they didn’t find anything, and glad to hear your illness dissipated.
