Life is good. I’m very ready for spring but a nap in the sun on the back patio today before clients helped a lot. The cold and snow being stuck inside with the pups was hard.
Scott and I have both received both vaccines. We are still not throwing caution to the wind and still respect that others have not all been vaccinated, but it does take ones anxiety down a bit.
The coffee shop is going well. We are involved in some decisions but no more of the day to day operations. I like to stop in and get coffee or meet friends. Wilson loves to stop in and say hi to everyone but we can’t stay too long with him or he reeks havoc.
The practice is going really well. It is so hard to know how many clients to take in. So many are every other week or once a month or even every six weeks. So its hard to have anyone or myself have a regular schedule. I keep forgetting to take people off until they get a reminder and remind me we changed it. I get new calls all the time and when I have them wait, they don’t respond when its time. So I take them and then they get stacked up again. I have two clients out of state who are potentially returning any time. I have two new clients scheduled on the same day next week.
The new therapists joining me are on hold. One is awaiting his graduation and then will start the licensing and credentialing so it could be awhile. The other is waiting to see what her husband’s military assignments are. I love having Shari come up monthly to do her massages.
I got to see the grand babies yesterday. We drove up to spend a Sunday. Wilson made it very stressful as he got in the mud and scared the boys trying to play with them. Eleanor is adorable and fun. She is so tiny. She makes the funnest sounds. She loves to lay on the floor and wiggle like a worm. I got to hold her quite a bit. It is hard to make her smile with my mask on.
Emmet was in a hard mood a lot of the day. He got super frustrated and upset about the airplane Scott made because at first it didn’t fly and then he had to share it with Henry and be careful with it. Henry was frustrated also because there was only one and it was really delicate. They were tired because they skipped naps and quiet time and were out of their routine. But overall, it was good to see them and spend time with them. Henry is so freaking cute. He talked and talked. He sat up next to me to read the airplane book and watch TV for a long time. Emmet was loving as usual. They are both so sweet with their little bodies and faces and voices and clothes.
Mom is good. She isn’t comfortable going anywhere. She gets her first shot tomorrow. I talk to her every day and go see her once a week or more. I love her so much.
My Dad has been in and out of the hospital 7 times in two months. Mostly breathing problems, one time they thought it was his heart but it wasn’t and last time for back pain. I don’t understand it all. It makes me miss my brother because he’d know what to do.
Its great to get back to working out. I like 9 rounds, its close and fast and a good work out. I don’t think it will be enough to get all the way back in shape. I am so chubby now I can’t even imagine getting back to what I was.
Wilson is getting easier. He and Diego play outside quite a bit. He can entertain himself more. He can obey the commands we work on when we have the clicker and treats in hand but he is naughty often and won’t come when called. I really hope we can get him trained to be a therapy dog. I took him today for a session at the client’s request and he was extremely distracting. I walked him down there and he can heel but not for very long before he jumps and gets under my feet and pulls. He’s very cute though with his long soft fur. He’s loving and affectionate. We work with Mutt school on his training.
