You know "It's A Dog's Life" when...

You have a Chihuahua napping on your shoulder
A Yorkie napping in your lap
Two dogs playing together by your side
A Basset Hound barking in your other ear
A Havanese cowering under you
Three other dogs mingling around

all at the same time

meanwhile...
your own dog & the Golden you are petsitting are home alone during a thunder storm...

you get home, walk the dogs since it stopped raining and happen to run into a client from work that lives in your complex and your dogs all get tangled together

This was the last three hours of my life

This is Scout (L) with the 13 year old Golden we are petsitting for a week (Ginger)

Headache Update

Despite using the BCP and the Low Dose Anti Depressants to lessen the frequency of my headaches, I've still been getting tons of headaches. I'm an definitely under a lot of stress between work, trying to start a business and regular life problems.

In April I finally decided to go back to seeing a chiropractor (which I did a year or two ago before we moved). And once again it worked wonders! I really have to recommend seeing a chiropractor anyone who gets tension headaches or even back pain, neck pain or suffers from some type of injury related pain.

Yesterday I switched to a different chiropractor in my town because Hubby heard that the one I was seeing used some bad business practices. While I really liked all the people in that office and definitely found a lot of relief from that chiropractor I think my new one will be even better... The new guy is (I hope) also going to help me deal with problems in my hips/waist/lower back. I noted to him that I have an odd swing to my pelvis when standing straight and he said that could be contributing to my neck and other health problems.

The unfortunate part of switching was that I felt awful "breaking up" with the one I've been seeing for a month and a half. I told him what I heard about his office and I hoped it wasn't true. He seemed really upset and wanted to know who said these things about him even though I couldn't tell him (I honestly don't know who the person was, hubby met the person at work).

So, I'm excited for my first adjustment at the new one this Thursday. I have had a headache almost everyday since last Friday which is the last time I saw the old one! I'm also going to talk to my doctor at my next appointment about losing the anti depressants since seeing the chiropractor works better than drugs. Although I wont be losing the BCP anytime soon thank you very much I quite enjoy being on them :-) 

Finished Mirror!

Finally, after about 10-20 hours of work, my mosaic mirror using broken china is DONE!

Boy am I glad this project is done. It was quite time consuming. I wanted to just be done with it so badly but I felt like I had to get more important things done first (errands, bills, stress about work etc). In the end it is extremely rewarding and I find crafting helps relieve a lot of stress. I think for the next few months I'm going to just focus on my business and DIY/craft projects for my friend's wedding.
