Oct 6th - We are still living and loving our Bliss, here in Colorado. Looking back at summer, we had a great time. A great balance of camping, time with friends, Thunder and just quality time. My work situation is stabilizing and I found out last week that I won't have to reapply for my position. Nice little piece of stress expelled from the backpack. My boss is still clueless, but his is not, so I feel like we have him in a pretty neutralized place. I have no problem contacting her directly, so life is good. I'm also back on 4 10 hour shifts, which makes a HUGE difference in my life. Three days of being off a week completely tips my happiness and moral scale to the positive side. Otter's work is going well. He's intelligent, creative and resourceful, so the frame shop will have a safety net from alternate income sources. It means less financial stress, but also less time for us to spend together, so we're being cognizant and aware and communicating a lot around that subject. I've started trimming down the annuals on the patio, but the tomato plant is still producing 3-4 a day. Not bad for a little container plant. Bell peppers may ripen on the vine, but it will be close.....not enough sun, but they're getting a red tint to them. New dog is off all meds, and it appears we can control his allergies by feeding him the caviar-priced dog food. He is just amazing though, and such a source of joy and happiness from dawn to midnight. Love and silliness wrapped up in a soft, fluffy, playful 70# bundle. We love him so much! We almost always have too little free time to socialize with all those we want to. One of our downfalls is putting too many things on the calendar. At the end of last week it all caught up with us, and we had to make some adjustments and regroup. Regrouping is quite a delicious way to spend time, and I see us doing more of it on a regular basis. As I opened with, the BLISS Scale is back to being set at HIGH! In 2 weeks, we walk a 1/2 marathon. I have concerns because we haven't trained. But we need to attend the t-com seminar, and get back into focus for eating and living a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise. Apparently spanking doesn't count :( I had a lot of energy back in the spring, so I'm looking forward to finding that groove again. (And the fact that we've drunk most of the case of wine we bought while in Palisades, over the Labor day holiday. will go a long way to helping us get back on track because the distraction is gone!) Wow, it's late....off to bed for early morning back to work! Blessed Be to All,
