It's a Dog's Life

 My puppy (well he is over 11) has cancer in his toe and it needs to be amputated. My husband and I had started shortening his walks to make him feel better. This last week, I took him out for his two miles and he didn't seem to be affected by it at all.

Week 2 of 52

 My goals for 2024 are going to be simple. I still want to read great books, and do great things that challenge me, but I also want to live and give my self grace.


Dreams:

  • Take a sailing course or two or three

Health
  • Beat you vs 2024 (already 36.2/1024)
  • Go to the dentist
  • Get to my goal weight of 155- I have just started walking more and believe this is still attainable.
Other
  • Read 10 books I already own
  • Take my husband on 12 dates this year (first date tomorrow we are going to a movie)
  • Go Fishing

Having the flu or being sick makes one want to do nothing more than watch tv and stay on the couch.

How NOT to bring in the New Year

 I started feeling bleh starting on Wednesday night. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are a blur. If there was a ball dropping, I wasn't aware (not that I would stay up anyway).

 I will say that today I was able to cook my breakfast and lunch and that should cover the next few days.

Here is hoping I will wake up tomorrow.
