It’s a new year and I’m not one for the whole New Year’s Resolution game but this year I’m trying. I’ve made lists of self-improvements I want to make, things I want to accomplish and even picked a “mantra word” – focus. Ya, lord knows that’s the right word for me. I feel like I’ve spent something like five years very scattered, maybe more.

I need to get back to making task lists and checking that shit off! I’ve moved my ToDoist app’s widget to the front page of my phone and heck that’s the only reason I’m here writing this post. I want to check “write blog post” off my list.

I let the two cairn terriers out without issue. Our chihuahua is super old, almost completely blind, hard of hearing and his sniffer is starting to fail him. He was snoring so I decided to let him be. He freaks out beyond anything you can comprehend if he’s caged in any way so we just have a little bed next to the other dog’s crates for him. He gets up and wonders half the night so it’s no surprise to find him snoozing hard when I get the others up.
