I had mentioned that we are putting out feed for the birds right now. (I say 'we' because my husband has been kind enough to feed them when they ran out and I wasn't home.) We have a little Downy Woodpecker who loves the Suet, and I enjoy watching him. He/she is pretty aggressive and … Continue reading That Bird is STEALTHY I Tell You

Can We Please Not Do That Again: Anxiety Edition
I hadn't had a full out anxiety attack in months - I'm pretty aware of what things might set me off, and I'm careful to take my medications prior to expected events. So, I freak out, but I don't actually have an attack and can calm down with some work. As a side not, I'm … Continue reading Can We Please Not Do That Again: Anxiety Edition
Gut Issues, Revisted: The Guttening
Or something like that. I had no idea what to call this post! BUT, we're addressing my husband's gut issues!!! We have a new doctor. The other clinic we'd been seeing doctors at was aggravating their doctors enough that they were leaving after 6-12 months, and that was aggravating us. Because who likes retelling their … Continue reading Gut Issues, Revisted: The Guttening
Making Our Own Dog Food?
Up until now, the dog food brand we've been giving our puppers had avoided any of the hugely public lawsuits or failed testing. But... that's no longer true. There's a lawsuit regarding ridiculously high levels of lead in that dog food, and we're worried. There just isn't very much regulation in the dog food industry, … Continue reading Making Our Own Dog Food?
This Car is Cursed
My car started making a noise up in the front left, kind of a scraping rumble, and it was getting louder, so we brought it into the shop. It turned out to be a wheel bearing, which they repaired, and they warned us the second on in the front would fail eventually. *headdesk* This car … Continue reading This Car is Cursed
Keto Update: March
I've been about 90% keto for the last two weeks. I say 90% because I went over carb count a few times, BUT I didn't eat grains, starches, or sugars. The result? I started out at 300.2 lbs. Today I was at 295.6 lbs. So, a loss! I think I should make some sort of … Continue reading Keto Update: March
Squirrels Are Skittish Creatures
I SO wish I had caught photos of this. We had a big squirrel feeding on the bird seeds on our rail, and it was bright and sunny outside, so the house was dim to him. My husband walked up near the window to watch him. He didn't notice. So my husband unlocked the door. … Continue reading Squirrels Are Skittish Creatures
Why Am I Hearing Spring Bird Calls?
I'm not someone who feeds birds. My mom feeds hers extensively, and I'm pretty sure they think she's a blond haired goddess because when she's outside the fly right up to her and land on feeders she's holding. I like watching them at home, but I'm a bit indifferent to feeding them. Until I saw … Continue reading Why Am I Hearing Spring Bird Calls?
Valentine’s Day! Totally Forgot to Share.
I completely forgot to share how my Valentine's Day went! We don't usually make a big deal of this holiday - we're pretty sweet on each other all the time, so ramping that up gets ridiculous. We had some dates while we were dating, but he shows me every day that he loves me. Plus, … Continue reading Valentine’s Day! Totally Forgot to Share.
So Let’s Talk About Keto
See this? This was me for the last two weeks. That's an ice cream bowl. (And Tundra, who just seems to know when you're unhappy and comes and cuddles.) Ice cream for the sad, reading for the escape. I had a rough bit after my Grandpa died, and I wanted nothing more than to eat … Continue reading So Let’s Talk About Keto
