2023 Week One Done

Well, we have completed week one of the new year.   I would love to be more intentional about keeping up with this blog often.  I closed out 2022 with a total of 65 posts, the most I've done on this particular blog.  I've been blogging since discovering Xanga twenty years ago when I was just a newlywed living in an apartment browsing the web while my husband was at work.  At the time I was working in a restaurant and my hours were mostly later in the day and evenings. 

 Blogging has been fun.  I think I'll keep it going.

January always seems to be a very slow moving month so it was surprising as how fast the first week felt.  I worked, my kids were back to school and back to their after school activities and Christmas decorations have been stored in the attic.  Yesterday I took our Murphy to the vet for his annual check-up.  I also had concerns.  Those concerns are caused by an ear infection, anal gland infection and possibly a uti.  Poor pup.  He has a few antibiotics that should clear it up.

This guy is not a fan of the vet and gets pretty viscious when they attempt to touch him.  Because of that they sedate him.  We left the office with a drowsy dog and an extremely expensive bill.   I can't help but love this old pug, even though he's stubborn.  

Today on this sunny Saturday my son is working and my parents came over and took my daughter and her friend to the movies.  I've been cleaning the house and relaxing.  We've had pretty mild weather for the beginning of January and I'm loving it.  It seems the weather doesn't quite line up with the seasons anymore.  I'm predicting a big snow storm in March.  

Next week will be my sixth month checkup at the dermatologist and I'm already scheduled for surgery the end of the month for a spot on top of my head.  Skin cancer stinks!  Having basal cell nevus syndrome, which causes continuous skin cancer stinks even more.  I lost count as to how many surgeries I've had so far.  6, maybe?
