I'm back, I hope. I have a few doctors visits ahead of me and the job hunt is still going on, but I've at least managed to beat some of the anxiety and get back onto my feet and write again. I broke my "writing every day" streak during the last month and I spent more time than I'd like to admit painting horror scenarios in my mind, but one thing I kept up was the movement streak. I went out there every day! I'm quite proud of that.
Let me tell you about my dog. This is the little man. He barely comes up to your knee (Mini Aussie) and if  you're a stranger he will be very suspicious of your intentions. He's quite anxious and takes a good fifteen minutes to warm up to visitors, once he does though, he'll sit on your feet and you're his new best friend forever.

Now just imagine... the postman shows up and is about to push a letter through the door and we open the door to leave the house and we all jump surprised at suddenly coming face to face with another human being and my dog thinks we're under attack and just bolts to chase the poor man off our driveway... he's not dangerous, he just barks and circles around you like a good sheepdog would around a sheep, only someone forgot to tell Mr. Blue Eyes that the postman is not a sheep. The postman, of course, did get scared and fell over and scraped his elbow. I was mortified. We didn't know if he or the post office would take it to the police and were very worried for a bit. Thankfully they didn't. That chap deserves a bottle of wine (and I don't mean the dog.)

Last week's books: I'm reading Stephen King's It and tackled Cloud Atlas and Steinbeck's East of Eden.

Last week on my blog: 
Last week in my kitchen: I accidentally food poisoned us with either the rare steak or the homemade mayonnaise, whoops. Don't do it!  (Or we got a really weird 48 hour bug, also possible.) The entire thing resulted in chicken breast, plain, with brown rice. It was a sad meal.

Next week on my blog: Catching up on a million reviews!

I wish everyone a lovely week!

  1. Your dog is adorable! I'm glad the postman didn't get too upset.
    Haha I'm always so worried about making things like homemade mayo! I like to be adventurous in the kitchen sure, but I'm always worried about this time food poisoning.

  4. Aw what a cute dog! If the poor postman had just cooperated like a proper sheep everything would have been fine, right lol? Seriously though, looks like a great dog! And food poisoning- wow! You did have quite the week!

    Hopefully this week is a bit quieter on that front. Good luck with the doctor visits/ job hunt.

  5. Postmen are a special breed - I'm sure they've seen a lot of things! ;-)

    Job hunting is always a source of anxiety for me - good luck, and keep your spirits up!

  6. Oh goodness, sounds like your postman got a scare. Poor fellow. But I imagine he deals with much worse on a daily basis. Oh no, food poisoning is the worst. So completely miserable. Hope you're both feeling much better by now!

  7. Welcome back! Sorry to hear about your food poisoning and anxiety! Oh my Mr Blue eyes is just adorable. I guess the tales of dogs and postmen are still in vogue huh? Hope you feel better and get your mojo back :)

  8. Olivia! I'm so glad that you're back! Congrats on keeping up the moving - that's awesome. Sometimes the brain needs a break!

    Your little dog is adorable and the postman story is a little funny although I'm sorry the chap fell down and you weren't sure what his reaction would be... Gosh!

    Sorry you got sick! Whatever it was I"m glad you're better.
