Of mice and men.

By -

Sean and I needed a thing or two from Lowe's and whenever Dingo sees us getting ready, 

he assumes he is invited.

When Sean told the dog to go back inside, he pouted, dropped his head 

and reluctantly went inside.

So, we told him to come along.  Dog's are allowed in Lowe's after all.





We had our first snow on October 18th.  

It's almost a week later and most of that snow is still on my drive way. 

My friend Linda is in town from Columbus, Georgia staying with Jan.

Social distancing and all, I stopped by to say hello!

Mr D LOVES the snow.

Millie had her first opportunity to get on her new to her skis.

In a way I am totally jealous.

She is completely unafraid to fall.

After seconds on her skis, she asks, "Where is the biggest hill?"

Man, I would kill to have learned some of these skills as a kid!


I'm pretty sure she fell more than she stood, but she had a great time.

This is a view from my run this past week.

I am now finished with week 5 of C25K.

It feels so good to be running again.

I am looking forward to putting in some miles cross country skiing though.



After my shoulder surgery, I was sleeping in our dungeon for awhile.

While I was down there, I discovered we had an invader.

I could hear the mouse jumping in and out of Dingo's food dish.

Sean set a trap and within a day, we caught this guy.

Sean re-homed the mouse and then we discovered....

We have another one!

Sean caught that one too and re-homed it with the first one (just in case they are a pair).

We have some holes that need to be filled, but hopefully, there are not any more mice!


Our sunsets are coming sooner and each day more magnificent then the last.

So on to Millie's mouth.

Her surgery is coming up on Wednesday.

There are the appliances that are going in her mouth.

 
For her lower lingual arch.

The top arch.  A chain will be attached to the bar to pull her impacted K9 into place.




I am trying not to feel nervous for the girl, but I am so worried she is going to be in so much pain.


Sean made this dish: chicken curry noodles.

I have to say, it really felt good in my stomach.

Snowzilla.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e

I've gone back in forth in my mind a million times as to whether or not I should even write what I'm getting ready to write. When I think really hard about it, the truth is, I need to write it. I need the essence of who I am to be preserved somewhere. How I came to the decisions that I did, where my mind was at, where my heart was at in it. I need something that my children can look back on and try to understand me, or at least the essence of me. This tale begins about a month ago. I found a lump in my left breast while I was in the shower. I always do my breast exams in the shower. I'm pretty faithful about it too. About once a month or so, I check around and make sure I don't feel anything weird. That isn't easily done, you see, I have lumpy breasts, so I really don't know what I'm looking for. Lumpy breasts run in my family. This one particular day, about a month ago, I felt something that felt weird to me, but I was unsure about it.
