I have a sick baby at home

Yesterday was a busy day. I used to have even busier days and more places to run around to, but I don’t have it that often anymore, so yesterday felt like I was on the go the whole time:) Blog post will come later. 

Today, Thor is throwing up. I took him out at 6 am and we stood out there for a half hour or so. He kept wanting to eat grass. I’m amazed how a dog just knows to eat that to throw up. I wasn’t sure to let him though, he gets sick from everything normally, so hard to say if he should or not. Back home he finally got a hairball out, but he’s still puking, wants to eat grass when we go out and he is now crying in pain and discomfort. My poor baby. I don’t know how to help him.

And of course today I have a lot to do. It’s been three hours already of getting nothing real done. When he’s crying, walking around the apartment or wants to go out every ten minutes, I can’t focus. I want to be there for him every minute he’s not feeling well, my little love. 

I put one of his beds near my feet. He has three more potential sleeping spots
around that too. He is so tired but can’t sleep for longer than 20 seconds. 

 

September 21

Good Morning! What a beautiful day today! A real summer day already and the day hasn’t even really started yet. Yay!

I just finished breakfast. Coconut yogurt with flavor of banana and strawberry topped with dried pineapple, some cereal, dried berries and pumpkin seeds, yum. I didn’t feel like making my own coffee today so I grabbed one from the machine in our lobby downstairs. It’s not the best but it’ll do. Thor was acting like he was gonna throw up this morning, but so far nothing, so I think it’s ok for me to run over to the yoga studio and take a class at 10:30. I have nothing to wear though, the washer is on as I write this, but I’ll figure something out. And in the afternoon today I’m actually taking the train in to Manhattan. It’s going to be a hot day so once again, I have to figure out what to wear. Going back home late and I’m always cold, so maybe I need to bring pants or something.. 

I’m excited to go in to the city. It hasn’t worked out with dog walkers before and I have ended up deciding not to go, but today I’m actually gonna go in late so the hours for T to be alone isn’t too many until J comes home. He can hold it for a really long time, but we like to keep it to 4 hours or less between pottys. If I take him for a long walk before I leave he should be ok. 

Speedy warmup

Video from yesterdays workout at the gym. Just movements that felt good at the moment. 

Yesterdays post was not the happiest one maybe. One should not write blog posts on a day when tired and feeling down:) I went to the gym after that which always helps. Working out, dance or any other sport can get you in a better mood. Today is a new day and I feel awesome. Thor has been sick this morning, but other than that, I feel like the world is an awesome place to hang out in (sounds like I’m an alien visiting earth haha). 

I can’t really tell if Thor is feeling better or not since he’s just sleeping right now, so I don’t know if I can run over to the yoga studio and take a class. Hmm. And I have a bit of a tummy ache for whatever reason so maybe I should do other important stuff today and take care of my little fluff butt. 

I hope you’ll have an awesome day!

6 months in Stamford

Email to someoneShare on FacebookPin on PinterestTweet about this on Twitter

We moved to Stamford 6 months ago, on March 18. Time really flies.

Before we moved, I tried to picture how it would be to live here. Lots of questions popped up of course. What would I do there? What things can we explore? What about work? Will Thor find friends? Will we find friends? How much dance is there? Will Jim be happy with the new job? How easy/hard is it to go to other cities? How often can I go in to Manhattan? How many new things do we need to buy? Are there any coffee shops? Can I bike everywhere? etc. etc. I tried to visualize everything possible since I didn’t know anything about this place. Positive thoughts and endless of fantasies about the future.

And..? Jim loves it here and I’m trying to feel the same way. Our apartment really is a home, not just a place to sleep in. It’s twice the size as our old one on Manhattan and it finally feels like a real home. J told me yesterday that his old job is now basically finished, they didn’t even last a year after J quit and started his new job, so that’s very good to know. He seem to love to be able to drive to work. He loves that we have a grill to cook on. We now have a big outdoor space which is awesome. There are a lot more nature to enjoy than before and we can take Thor for hikes. 

And me? I don’t even know what to tell you guys. I’m going through stuff. Honestly, it’s been tough. I had a tough time in NYC as well, that’s why I’m entering my third year as a housewife right now. But this is even harder. My goal is to keep this blog on a happy note, so I will keep all my thoughts about our life in Stamford to myself, no need to spread negativity here. And I see how happy my husband is here so I really want to keep a positive attitude about it. 

This is not easy for me to write out to you guys. It’s personal, vulnerable and I feel bad for not loving every second of our lives here. I am very grateful for everything we have of course, I don’t take things for granted and I’m lucky to have found someone special to spend my life with, someone I love so much that my heart actually hurts. That’s why it’s hard for me to understand why not everything feels awesome. 

Bowling in Norwalk

We drove to Norwalk yesterday. It was supposed to be crappy weather all day so we decided to go play laser tag. On our way there it turned out to be a really nice and sunny day, but we still went to Bowlmor. Apparently you have to be at least 4 people to play laser tag, so I guess we have to get to know some people here so that we can play against them, hahha. I have never done it so I was super excited. Oh well. We decided to go bowling instead. We did three rounds. We both kinda sucked through the whole game haha, but we had fun and that’s all that matters:)

It was a beautiful afternoon and evening, so we sat outside. First on our terrace but then decided to go to the rooftop (it’s on the back of our apartment with evening sun). We brought Thor, even though you’re not supposed to. So quiet and peaceful with a beautiful view and sunset. Then we had steak with roasted sweet potato for dinner and ended the day by watching The Magnificent Seven.

Today has been a lovely day. Went for a morning walk to get coffee, we found a place and booked it for our Hawaii trip, J worked out at the gym, we went shopping and then ate a late lunch/an early dinner at home. I’ve been sitting in the hot sun on our terrace now for awhile and J is watching football. T is sleeping:)
