Dark circles return under my eyes I set the alarm again Avocados double in price Apples replace peaches It’s too dark to walk after dinner My inbox is filled with school fundraising requests The kids practice their instruments I feel rushed all day long Reading for work replaces reading for pleasure I think too much about which shoes I’ll wear ..read more

Pismo gets easily dehydrated. Take Pismo out at least 3x a day. Once in the AM when she first wakes up (not when you first wake up), once in the afternoon and once more before bed. Pick a spot and keep taking h ..read more
