Friday was a tough day, so we decided to treat ourselves to sushi. Home-delivered sushi of course, because it’s not really a treat if you can’t be lazy too, right? So we ordered from a local spot via Grubhub. While we were waiting, Freya became a little restless, so we let her “watch TV.” To Freya, “watching TV” means sitting at the front door and looking outside. Even though it was very cold, we opened the front door and let her sit in front of the glass storm door to watch for squirrels.

It’s a lazy Sunday that’s perched right in the middle of a lazy three-day weekend. We got a little bit of snow yesterday, but even that only provided about a half-hour of entertainment when it came to shovelling. Today I’ll need to make up for a week being the on-call engineer. When that happens I often see an assortment of nighttime interruptions that made it difficult to write and keep me up late enough that I want to go to bed early if are no calls.

Freya with a tummy ache Freya was sick a couple of Saturdays ago, so we called the vet and grabbed the first appointment we could get. It’s always tough when a pet is sick, but Freya is probably the most difficult of all of the dogs we’ve had. She’s the most fearful at the vet’s office and a tough dog to read at the same time. So, making a call on when it’s time to put her through the stress of a doctor visit is like trying to see colors in the dark.

I’ve been playing with my camera again, and Mondays will be photos from now on. Here’s my derpy dog, Freya. That tongue. Click to get a ginormous version.
