Finally sweaty weather!! I shouldn’t say too much, it looks like it will be cold next week again, but for now I’m gonna scream out loud about how excited I am for spring and summer! 

Yesterday was a very warm day. Almost 86 degrees (30°c). I decided to go to the gym before lunch and then planned on doing stuff outside and enjoy the sun the whole afternoon. But I came back to the apartment and Thor, who had been acting a little strange in the morning, was extra snuggly and started shaking in my arms when I picked him up. Oh no! I knew what that meant. I had been gone for 1.5 hour and now felt so bad about it:( My baby. But I don’t think he had been throwing up like he normally does when he gets his stomach problems (we think it might be pancreatitis so he has special diet and very strict rules about food with his sitters). So, I ended up staying with him til Jim came home. Being by his side is always more important than anything else. I cleaned every inch of our apartment and did some laundry, seemed like a good time for that since I couldn’t go outside. Thor slept for hours. When J was home, I went to sit on the rooftop for a little bit watching the sunset which was nice. Still pretty warm then. 
Thor seems a little better today but it’s hard to tell. He just sleeps. It’s heartbreaking, there’s nothing we can do. And this time it’s really bad timing since we are going away this weekend and he will stay with a sitter we don’t really know (same one we used when going to Hawaii). If he’s not better by this afternoon, I might have to stay home and J will go alone to Chicago. I will be by T’s side today, hopefully he’s better soon♥

This is life with our fluffbutt. We care so much and we want the very best for him. It’s not always easy. I can only imagine how it is to have children, hats off to parents around the world. 

Our baby boy is 4 years old today. Yay! Happy Birthday Thor! Mommy and daddy love you forever ♥

The temperature is supposed to go up today again, so I think I will spend some time on our terrace organizing and plant new seeds in pots. We are going away this weekend so I should probably wait til after, but some of the seeds needs to be planted by now, so hopefully they survive when we are gone. Jim put our furniture out on Saturday and we had friends over then so we already kinda started to enjoy the outdoor space. Now I just need to make it cozy out there for the summer. We have decided to stay in this apartment for one more year, so I will definitely make an effort for a cozy outdoor space:) 

Hope you are having an awesome day! I got up before 7 today, took Thor out and then threw towels in the washer before I made myself coffee. Getting things done on my laptop now before I need to take care of a few other things in the apartment. 
We are flying to Tampa tonight. I’m so excited for warmer weather, beach and palm trees! It says it’s gonna rain, but hopefully it’s like any warm place which means only a few showers here and there. Jim booked tickets to the hockey playoffs and the game is in the middle of the day tomorrow which isn’t the greatest, but that just means we have to get up super early and then stay up really late:)
If anyone has recommendations for awesome things we need to see while we are there or good places to eat, send me a message.
Have an awesome weekend!

Thor wants to stay snuggled in all day

It got extremely windy yesterday and then last night it started to rain and it’s been non-stop since. Giant raindrops and strong wind. It sounds like a war zone in our apartment. Of course it sounds a lot worse up on the top floor where we live plus we don’t have any buildings right in front of our apartment and this building isn’t built with the thickest walls of all time, but it’s pretty crazy out there! I’m sitting at my desk on the loft looking out the windows of both floors and I can see out to the terrace door so I see how crazy it really is, it not just sounds like it. And now as I write this, we got thunderstorms as well and the lights in the apartment are blinking. Good thing my dog is the God of Thunder, he can protect me 😀 

The apartment needs to be cleaned and I have a video to edit, so if this storm plans on being here all day, then I don’t mind staying inside:)

But this is not as crazy as the weather in Kauai. I keep reading and seeing all the pictures of the flash floods on the island. It does not look pleasant. I hope everyone’s safe! 

I want to believe that the spring is on it’s way

Good Morning! How are you? I feel pretty great actually. I had a swollen throat all weekend until yesterday so haven’t been that active. Very motivated to move my body but since I have been sick over and over this winter I wanted to be careful with this swollen throat of mine. But I felt fine this morning so I left the apartment along with J when he was going to work. There was only one man down at the gym when I got there. I did some warmup stuff, power walked on the treadmill for awhile and then pilates on a mat. By this time the gym was packed and I kinda felt like I was in the way, so I left.

I usually turn on the HGTV channel when I’m on a machine (bike, treadmill or cross-trainer), but this morning I decided to have the local news on when I was on the treadmill (they only have like three channels to choose from). I’ve talked about this before; watching/reading the news in the morning makes my whole day sad. It was mostly just weather reports, CT highway reports and commercials, but in the bottom they had a line of the latest headline news of the world. Sad. Yes, it’s good to know what is happening in the rest of the world, but seeing/reading sad news first thing in the morning isn’t really setting a good tone for the day. I know that there are terrible things going around in the world, I don’t need all the updates 24/7. Not gonna have the news on the exercise machines again. HGTV is so much more fun:)
What do you think? Do you read the news in the morning?
