And I do try to drink at least eight glasses or more daily. But somehow, especially, in the cold weather, I am lucky to drink two glasses!
Then again, I inhale coffee all day long. So, it’s not that I don’t drink. Just not water.
Normally, I would not complain about my boss in a public forum. It is unprofessional and usually accomplishes nothing. Plus, you know the old saying about if you can’t say anything good about someone…But, here goes. Continue reading “My New High Maintenance Boss!”

Good advice for keeping our pets safe.
The fall and winter holidays are here again, times of the year when we often change up our routines with extra visits from friends and family, and along for the ride come foods, treats, and appealing decorations, packages and gifts. Sometimes, these can be a hazard to our family pets. Hopefully, you and your pets have made it through Halloween and Thanksgiving unscathed.
There are many resources out there which talk about holiday hazards. Many foods are hazardous to dogs, either because they are toxic (such as chocolate or grapes), or can harm their digestive tract (bones, or food packaging, or bread dough), or for other reasons.

It was another day of endless rain in Portland. *
I admit, I wasn’t in the best mood. I was tired. I was sad.
In all things give thanks. We give thanks for faith, family, friends.
Special thanks to my Internet friends who have educated, entertained and comforted me during the past year.
Happy Thanksgiving from Denver!
