I didn't have much work to do today, so I decided to experiment with some chocolate. I made a vegan ganache that I hope had staying power. I also made some dark chocolate chili with Pepito's. Delicious. 

I had the gardener here to finally put in my front garden. It is a small space but it needed something. He put in 6 succulents with purplish rocks around them. It looks just as I pictured. Partially because I copied it from a house in my neighborhood. They say copying is the greatest form of flattery or something. 

I spoke to a friend and her son has a tortoise. I always wanted a tortoise (and a panda but only one is attainable) but couldn't figure out how the logistics. She says her son feels the tortoise should be rehomed. I am all in. That would make a bird, dog and tortoise. 

Until tomorrow...

I had to go to the dentist to get a tooth checked. I was worried that the feeling was falling out. But it turns out the tooth is fine. The dentist just had to file down a little bit to make it flatter. 

Other than that my day was pretty chill. I walked the dog a couple times I met with a friend to continue working on her website and told her my finished vision board. 

Until tomorrow...

Today the clocks were turned back an hour so I slept in. After taking a bath, I walked the dog. Then I did laundry and most dreaded task: invoicing clients. I was proud that I finished invoicing by dinner. In-between invoices, I roasted brussel sprouts and baked some tofu for dinner. 

It was a super nice day and I wanted to go hiking but life got in the way. 

Until tomorrow...

We got up early and went on a hike. It was an hour away and had elevation and switchbacks. Just what the doctor ordered for Vivien. She did okay with all the movement. I'm going to go again next week to see how she does.  I don't want to drug her to get in the van but I will if I have to. It's just a little relaxing pill.

The hike had great views and a .7 mile loop that we did twice to get our steps in. 

Until tomorrow...

I decided that the dog needed to be washed today. She took a dip in the water in Olympic National Park and hasn't smelled great since. So today was the day she got dunked in the water and washed. She smells so good now and seems happy. 

Later in the afternoon I started to not feel well. I don't think it's from washing the dog, I think it's from from not feeling well. And yes I tested for covid but no it's not covid. I just laid down on the couch and took a nap until it was time to get up dog. 

Until tomorrow...
