The Wheels On The Cart Go 'Round And 'Round

 
My dog Belle could no longer go on her normal walks because of her arthritis and I noticed that not doing so made her depressed. We were putting her in the car and driving her to the park and letting her walk around for a bit but that didn't seem to be enough. So we bought her a dog cart.

Belle in her dogcart waiting to go for a walk. She was a bit worried on the first walk but when she realized that the cart took her to the park where she could get out, sniff around for a few minutes, and meet people and dogs she hasn't seen in some time, she decided she loved it.

It took a few trips but she now knows she can lie down and enjoy the sites and smells as we walk to and from the park. In fact, we have reached the point where she no longer sees us as those great people who figured out a way to take her on walks again but as her servants. She is very regal now and will start scratching at the mesh if we are not quick enough when letting her out at the park.

Kitchen Hacks

I store a roasting pan in my oven because I do not have any other place for it and keep forgetting to take it out before I preheat the oven. Last week I came up with the idea of having a kitchen magnet made with the words "Check Oven For Pots and Pans" to put on the stove right next to the start button on my stove. Let's see how long it takes before I stop noticing it is there.

A Journal of the Plague Year

Last week my husband became sick with a fever of 100.7 F so he signed up for a COVID-19 test. The only opening he could get was Tuesday morning of this week. Yesterday we got the results back- negative. This morning I realized how much of a relief that was for me because when I woke up I did not feel as if a great weight was on me. This afternoon I realize just how much pressure I had been under since he first got sick because I am now exhausted in the same way I would be exhausted at the end of finals week in college.
