The photo of the day is "what mommy does when Ember has a spa day". Yes, she's with Tony the Groomer this morning, so mommy reconfigured the X-pen. That's the couch I am grateful is longer than I am tall, the one I slept on a couple of nights last week.
You can see how challenging it might be to contain an active labrador retriever puppy with that open floor plan. Living room connects to dining room, connects to kitchen, connects to hallways (2) and stairs (2)... nary a door in sight. Thus, the need for the X-Pen.
I am grateful to whoever invented X-Pens, and that even though I had to buy 3 8-panel sets to make the configuration I now have (includes the fence around the A/C unit outside), they are not so outrageously expensive that I couldn't swing it.
Life is Good! Spark on!
Yes, the fall back to standard time does mess w/me, too. Definitely grateful for a couch to accommodate us when we need to sleep there!
ReplyDeleteGlad you have an X-Pen around the A/C. Good job.
Keeps Ember and you safe, too!!
Hugs

Seems she has to do some level of damage before I do things like the A/C fence, unfortunately!
DeleteOh, the joys of puppy parenthood! I can totally relate to the X-pen struggles and the 'what mommy does when Ember has a spa day' scenario. I'm grateful for coffee, too, especially on those days when sleep is elusive. Stay strong, mama!
ReplyDeleteHave an amazing day! (((BIG HUGS)))
Sending wishes for strength your way, too! We all can use it, every day!
DeleteGives new meaning to living in a "gated community".
ReplyDeleteElection day here (Tuesday) and I'm grateful the rain and storms have moved on to other areas.
Sometimes it seems as though I'm the one inside the gates... and in fact, sometimes I am!
DeleteWe had rain overnight and through the morning here, clearing off after noon.
I like the 'gated community' comment above and those kind of gates as well. I am grateful for tea myself, it is my drink of choice. Huge hugs and here is to you getting your usual sleep once more.
ReplyDeleteI love tea at particular times, it soothes in a way that coffee does not! Still adjusting to the sleep changes, but today I got back to the personal trainer for the first time since the cataract surgery! Yay!
