It Was Awful, But My Happy Dog Has No Regrets

No Regrets

No Regrets

The ice is starting to melt outside.

We let Blue out for her morning romp.

She returned inside, covered in mud.

Absolutely covered, from head to toe.

It was awful.

She’s in bad need of a grooming, but I put it off so she would have a thick, warm coat for the cold weather.

Now she has a thick, muddy, matted coat.

The weather is still really cold, so we couldn’t hose her off outside.

We had to put her in the bathtub.

It was awful.

Mud was everywhere.

It was like a mud blender went off, without the lid.

Blue had a blast.

She loved the warm water.

She basked in all of the attention.

She has absolutely no regrets.

Not a care in the world.

She’d do it again in a heartbeat, if we let her.

We won’t let her.

She’s going to the groomer next week.

After we dry out.

This California Girl Is Prepared For Anything

Prepared for anything

Prepared For Anything

You can take the girl out of California.

But you can’t take the California out of the girl.

We’re in the middle of Snowmageddon 2023 here in North Texas.

The snow isn’t actually that bad.

It’s the ice that’s the problem.

I can’t get to the grocery store.

I thought this storm was going to be a one-day event.

It’s turning into a week-long thing.

We’re running out of food.

But not really.

Because this California girl is prepared for anything.

I’ve always got earthquake supplies.

We ran out of fresh milk.

But I’ve got plenty of the powered stuff.

Don’t get me wrong – powered milk is disgusting to drink.

But it’s fine for cooking.

I used powered milk to make chicken and dumplings.

And pancakes.

We might run out of sandwich things before this is over.

But I’ve got plenty of burrito fixings stashed away.

No one goes hungry around here.

When this is over, I’ll have to restock my earthquake supplies.

If we have a disaster before then, I’m not worried.

I have a second tier of disaster supplies.

This California girl is prepared for anything.

Except maybe a tornado.

I’ll never be ready for that.

Maybe Next Year, But This Year It’s Too Risky.

Maybe Next Year

Maybe Next Year

Snow! It’s snowing!

We get snow every winter, but usually it’s just a dusting.

The problem this year is that it’s more rain than snow, and it’s all turning to ice.

I put on my winter gear and set off outside to check out the winter wonderland.

And then I turned and went right back inside.

My postop knee is about 70% recovered, but that 30% of wobble was terrified of the ice.

Ice is everywhere, even in places that usually stay dry.

The last thing I need is a slip-and-fall accident.

Yeah, nah, I’ll pass.

I’m not gonna do it.

I’ll enjoy the winter wonderland from indoors.

Sorry, winter boots, we’re sitting this one out.

Maybe next year we’ll walk in the snow.

Shocked, I Now Have To Consider WWED

Shocked

What Would Elaine Do?

Shocked, a woman at the grocery store gasped at the price of eggs.

Seriously?

Has she been living under a rock?

The rest of us have been shocked for months.

Eggs used to be a cheap go-to meal.

These days, however, the cost of a carton is outrageous.

I’ve taken to channeling my inner Seinfeld when I’m cooking.

“Is this eggworthy?” I often ask myself, wondering WWED.

What Would Elaine Do?

I’ll have to rewatch that episode and consult her checklist.

Those eggs are going to have to convince me they’re eggworthy.
