The week has brought little to write about. I haven't been too busy or uninterested in writing. I just haven't been inspired to. Today, the weather is beautiful here. That in itself is worth writing about. Sun and clouds. 80 degrees with low humidity. After only being here 6 weeks, it feels a bit invading when the inlanders swarm to the shore on the weekend. However, on a day like today, I don't begrudge them a day at the beach. Even after having to sit in beach traffic when I was just trying to get home.
Back in the northeast the biggest nuisance I had to deal with around Jak was ticks. Here it is fleas. I have found a few on him and have been taking proactive measures to keep it that way. This involves a lot of vacuuming. A flea collar in the vacuum bag. And multiple home remedies for a non-toxic approach as he already has had his once a month flea control applied. Yesterday Jak had a refreshing Rosemary mist. At the beginning of the week it was a mixture made from lemon peels. He's still scratching occasionally but overall I am feeling hopeful.
I also made two trips to Home Depot looking for Diatomaceous Earth, a less toxic home treatment for fleas. It said online that there was some in stock but I sure couldn't find it. What it meant by in stock was on a shelf, in a box, 8 feet above my head. However, if you are shopping at Home Deport and in need of an Our Lady of Guadeloupe candle, those were in stock and on a shelf at eye level.
Jak and I have been for a jog on this bodacious day. Last ditch training effort for the 5K tomorrow. Jak refused to come up with the $20 to register so he will be sitting this one out. Also of note today my little friend Katie celebrated her 6th birthday with a pancakes & pajamas themed party. I hope everything went well!
And last, but certainly not least, I would like to take a moment to remember those in our military who have served our country and paid the ultimate price for our freedom. It can't be said enough, freedom is not free. Blessings, thankfulness and love to those who have lost their lives in service of our country and also to their families who endure the loss.
Until next time...
Peace & Love,
Hope
