The video exemplifies the current stage of my life.
I get something....
which gets bigger and bigger and bigger
until
I am completely and utterly exhausted.
I can't complain.
My house is in shambles - but, I now have a working furnace, air conditioner (never had one before), a working fridge and a working dishwasher.
This is awesome.
But, on the flip side, I also have 50 boxes to unpack.
****
I have my dream job (without the dream pay)
but, on the flip side,
I don't have as much time as I need to see hypnosis clients.

A neighborhood stray adopted us.
We, in turn, adopted a stray dog that the cat is worried about.
He's a miniature poodle mix who had a urinary hernia so he's been with us three days, on the couch, recuperating from his surgery.
I'm shocked the dog and cat seem to be getting along.
*****
I would have named the dog "Tom" as in the names that turn up in the candle wax (see previous post) -but- the dog answers to "Houston" and "Henry."
We are now going through lists of male names to see if we can figure out who he was.
He doesn't respond to Spanish or French. We are looking at English names.
We found him at an adoption event at a senior housing project. He was brought by a shelter.
The shelter was a kill shelter (one I'd like to shut down) and he looks horribly rough. I paid the $150 fee and brought the doggo home.
They found him on May 29th, matted and filthy. His owner didn't have a lot of time to find him.
It's very sad. The dog needed surgery. He's going to need some dental work, too.
I found a great vet who offered to see him Monday at no charge. Doggo is still shivering and I'm sure the Ketamine has wore off by now.
Ketamine - uh....
I work with people who take the stuff because it doesn't show up on employment drug screens.
I've never been near an animal recovering from ketamine.
It's still sad to see them shiver.

Blessings abound -
Why am I so darn tired?
I'd tell people all about it
but, I lost my phone -
somewhere
in Littleton, I think.
I'm deciding if I should trek through the foothills to find it
or just find a new cell phone carrier.
I spend so much time in parts of the state which have poor cell phone reception, I may as well not have a cell phone any longer.
Life is getting better.
When that happens, we just need better coping skills.
*****
The key with dealing with good stress,
is self-care.
So....I guess....
I'll take a long bath,
stop eating Doritos (which is pretty much all I had in the kitchen while waiting for a fridge),
and get my nails done.
The dog and the cat are in on the action, too....
we've been watching relaxing bird videos on YouTube.
Fun times.....
Love ya,
S.
