Working from home: Day 2.

Mack seems to have taken to me working from home pretty well…

He just crashed out on his dog bed in the office for most of the day while I worked on my stuff. He’s been really good hanging out with me so far. Genifer is at home too on Tuesdays. Oscar got to hang out with her all day. Oscar probably likes hanging out with her better because he gets to hang out with Genifer in one of the bigger rooms away from Mack for most of the day. 😀🐾❤️

Working from home isn’t too bad at all. Everything is going pretty smooth so far.

Working from home: Day 1.

On Friday, Grey Midwest had a trial run of all employees working from home. About half way through the day, it was recommended that all Grey Midwest employees should work from home until further notice. So this morning was the first official day of my working from home. Thankfully, we have our terrific little work space setup on our second floor, and it will finally get put to good use…

I pulled in some dog beds from upstairs and barricaded us in the office…

And I got to have some of my giant Lunchables I got at the grocery for lunch…

Everything worked really well. And it was so nice and quiet. Our internet was able to keep up with all the video conference calls and meetings. The dogs were really good all day. And I continue to make small adjustments to my working from home set-up but I’m really feeling it so far…

It’s definitely not terrible. I think I could get used to working from home. 😀🏡💻❤️

For the time being, Genifer still has to go into the office to work. Hopefully, she’ll be able to work from home soon too.

Happy birthday, Mack!

Two years ago today, Mack joined our family…

He’s a good buddy. I love him. And I’m really happy he’s part of our family. 😀🎂🐾❤️

And thanks for the memories, Timehop. 😀🦕❤️

A walk through Parker Woods.

Mack had to go to the vet this morning. He’s been under the weather. We got him some medicine that will hopefully get him back to his old self very soon. When we got home from the vet, we took a walk through Parker Woods…

It was such a pretty morning. Mack had some of his medicine and laid down for a nap…

And hopefully, he’ll start feeling better really soon. 😀🐾❤️

A super Sunday.

It was gorgeous outside today for the second day of February. It was in the mid-60s and the sun was out. We took the dogs for a long walk this morning…

Later, we ran out to Walgreens to pick up a prescription where we saw this…

And on the way home, we stopped at Skyline to bring home lunch…

Genifer had a giant burrito…

I got three cheese coneys with extra mustard and no onions and a chilito…

And we shared a slice of red velvet cheesecake…

Later, we took the dogs on another long walk…

And had some snacks before The Big Game™…

Then we watched the Superb Owl. It was a pretty good game and a pretty auper Sunday. 😀🌄🐾🏈❤️

A rainy Cincinnati Saturday.

It was really warm this morning with temperatures hovering in the mid-60s. But it was supposed to rain all day. And it pretty much did.

Before it started raining this morning we got up and ran over to Biggby for weekend morning coffee…

We saw on Biggby’s Instagram that they had a BOGO offer just for today…

My new favorite go-to drink is Biggy’s Cocoa Caramella hot chocolate with a little bit of butterscotch added to it. It’s a great drink. And I really prefer hot chocolate to coffee. The caffeine makes me feel too jittery.

We watched some of the soccer this morning. My favorite club, Arsenal drew 1-1 with Crystal Palace and my other favorite club, Leicester City lost to Southampton 2-1. The last time Leicester and Southampton played, Leicester thumped the Saints 9-0.

We hung out upstairs and I worked on some work stuff until the dogs let us know they wanted to go on another dog walk…

Later when it was time for the other football, we took the Taft’s gift cards we received for Christmas around the corner to the Brewpourium for some pizza and wings. Taft’s had a peanut butter version of their Maverick chocolate porter on tap…

And it was really terrific. We usually get Taft’s Cherrywood BBQ wings but tonight we tried their buffalo wings. And they really good too. Pretty spicy but really good. So good, in fact, we had already eaten half of the wings before I remembered to take a photo…

And we shared a small pizza with pepperoni, sausage and banana peppers…

Taft’s pizzas are so good! When we were leaving, the Brewopurium was getting crazy…

Apparently, there was going to be a comedy show in the back of the Brewpourium. When we got home, we walked the dogs around the block again in the rain…

We watched a pretty dumb movie on Prime Video and then fell asleep while we watched the rest of the other football playoff game. It was a pretty good Saturday. It would have better if I didn’t have to work on a bunch of work stuff. 😀☕️🐾🍕🐔🌧️❤️

Dog’s heads get heavy.

This morning we ventured out early to get some Biggby Coffee and then we ran over to the grocery. I needed to get some more cold medicine because I woke up feeling under the weather again.

When we got home, we puttered for a bit and made a deep dish oven pizza for lunch. I took some cold medicine and went upstairs to watch the Michigan-Michigan State basketball game. Mack hopped on the bed next to me and promptly fell asleep with his head on my leg…

Dog’s heads get heavy. And Michigan lost. It was a pretty low-key Sunday. 😀🐾💤❤️

Good evening from Northside.

And it was a very rainy night in Northside…

And on the way home, we saw our first Christmas carnage of the season…

Good evening from Northside. 😀🌄🌧️❤️

Poor Mack.

This morning we dropped Mack off our vet in College Hill…

He’s had a really bad ear infection. He had to be put under so they could clean his ears and while he was under they also surgically trimmed his nails. When we got home, he was really under the weather. I think was still feeling the effects of the anesthetic and the pain medicine. I carried him upstairs and laid him on his new dog bed but he moved and just laid in the middle of the floor for the rest of the night…

Hopefully, he’ll feel better and be back to his old self very soon. 😀🐾❤️

Happy Christmas Eve Eve!

Happy Christmas Eve Eve! We got up early this morning to get some Biggby Coffee…

Genifer has been really liking their Peppermint Mocha Latte with almond milk and I’ve been all about the Cocoa Caramella hot chocolate with a shot of butterscotch. I also a big fan of Biggby’s sausage egg and cheese breakfast bagel sammich on an Asiago bagel. It’s really good stuff all the way around…

After Biggby, we went over to Rookwood Commons to do some last-minute shopping. We were mainly looking for some stuff for the dogs. But all I did was take photos of adorable stuff like these two characters…

How about caramel coffee flavoring in a penguin bottle wearing a winter hat?

Or a larger than life-sized plush penguin…

Oe a Triceratops sleeping bag…

I bought this sugar cookie ix because how cute is that little polar bear serving tray?

I like bears. After shopping, we had lunch at Rusty Bucket so I could get my Chicken Finger BLT. I really like Rusty Bucket and I love that chicken sammich. When we got home, we took the dogs on a walk and then we were pretty lazy…
