Sunday Morning Coffee | No. 01

Guess it's more like an afternoon pick-me up since this is going up a little later than planned.... oh, well. ;) How was your week? It was a busy one around and I don't even know where the time went. Now we're enjoying a lazy, rainy Sunday.

I thought I would start this "coffee talk" series because I enjoy reading similar posts on other blogs. I'm aiming for weekly, but it might be bi-weekly and it's just a way to hopefully connect better with you guys! So grab your cup of coffee (or tea) and let’s do this!


On my mind
+ Like I mentioned above, we are adjusting to a new schedule. The husband started at a new department (he’s a police officer for those new around here) and it’s actually going better than I expected. He has a longer drive and the hours are way different then before but we’re slowly finding our groove. I thought I was going to really struggle with this new routine because 1.) I don’t really like change and 2.) I rely on him so much. I don’t have many friends around here so it can be a bit lonely, but it’s given me more time to focus on my design work and for that, I’m really excited!

+ My little Bosco is starting to worry me a little. I know he’s an old man (15!) but it still breaks my heart. I mean overall he seems and looks pretty healthy, but it’s little things. It’s been a year since he had eye surgery to remove a cancerous tumor and I’m so thankful it didn’t spread, but now we’re dealing with arthritis, some weight loss, eye/hearing issues and possible kidney disease. We go to the vets again this week for more tests but our vet definitely suspects an issue with his kidneys. Prayers and positives vibes are much appreciated.

+ On a lighter note, I’ve already started listening to Christmas music…. while designing a Thanksgiving art printable. haha I blame the Hallmark channel because they started with their Christmas movies! I’m not wishing the Fall/Thanksgiving season away, but I am pretty excited for Christmas. For the first time in 3 years we’re not going anywhere! Don’t get me wrong, I love being around family, but I’m really looking forward to staying in our little home, just the 3 of us!
