hard to believe...
I can't believe August is almost over.
where did the summer go??!
so many things on the summer "to do" list still waiting to be done.
seriously, WHERE DID IT GO??
we had what seemed like a few good summer days, but a somewhat dreary summer overall. or those lovely days that start out nasty and you plan around the gross weather and then as soon as its too late to change plans the day becomes gorgeous. or the other way around and you plan out a fun day and half an hour before the fun starts it clouds over and starts pouring. those days i'm definitely not a big fan of either.
i'm hoping to still make some progress on the things to do list but some of the stuff is just not going to be happening. like no way jose.
oh well I guess.
not much can be done about it now.
on to the fall to do list I guess.
here are a few of the things coming up on the list...
get my etsy store back up and running. the first 2 years of hugo's life took a big toll on my online selling. hoping to resolve that in time for fall/winter shopping!
figure out a few craft sales to focus on for fall/winter/Christmas and get ready. in advance. I won't be doing Make It this year and i'm sad, but it just wasn't in the books this year. the cheque book mostly. i'll miss it, but maybe i'll be able to swing it next year. just will have to see how it plays out.
get ready for Christmas. yes. Christmas. I want to be ready by December 1st this year because the past two years I didn't get ready in advance and I hated all the last minute scrambling and stress. I used to always be ready at least a month early and i'm hoping that can happen again.
get some much needed purging/reorganizing/cleaning done around the house. I've been working on this all summer bit by bit, but my goal is to get most of it done by hugo's birthday. that gives me a month and a half-ish. its hard finding time, but I am getting better at MAKING time. it needs to be done and it is going to be done! nobody warns you just how much STUFF you end up with when you have a baby/child. I had no idea. and with all of that STUFF everything else becomes displaced... in the end (at least for us) CHAOS.
and since this is a long no pictures post I think I will cut it short here.
the end.

the hardest post i've ever written
I have been putting off posting because I wanted to post about something that has proven to be super difficult for me. I have started this post countless times and just couldn't get through it.
its been a while, I just have to force myself to sit here and type this.
I want to do it, but it is definitely a struggle.
I lost my princess.
I have had and loved Kobe for most of my independent adult life.
she was the best cat I have ever encountered and I will miss her forever.
she was getting old.
I knew this.
I knew she couldn't live forever... as much as I would have loved for her to.
one sunday evening out of nowhere she was acting strange. hiding in weird spots and would not eat anything. I knew something was wrong.
Monday I took her to the vet. she was examined and other than being very senior and slightly dehydrated there was nothing visibly wrong with her. so blood tests were next on the agenda.
I took her home and awaited the results.
a couple hours later the phone rang.
early stages of kidney failure.
could be treatable but due to her age she would be unlikely to respond well to any of the possible treatments.
we tried giving her fluids. just incase.
she made it through the night
I wasn't sure she would.
I spent the majority of the night in the bathtub with her praying that she would either pass quietly in her sleep or show some sign of improvement.
no improvement.
the vet called to check up on her Tuesday morning.
she hadn't eaten anything since sunday morning.
I knew it was the end.
I had to make the hardest decision I think I've ever made in my life.
I didn't want my poor princess to suffer through the last bit of her life so I called the vet and made the appointment for that morning to take her in and have her put to sleep.
when I got there I took her in and they took me into a nice little room and I sat there sobbing. holding her and telling her how much I loved her.
they got her ready and brought her back to me.
the staff there were amazing.
I held her as she passed.
I put her in her bed with her favorite toy all cuddled up like how she used to sleep. she looked like she was sleeping. except I knew this time she would never wake up.
I couldn't stop crying.
I had made her a "casket" from a box that I wrapped up in pretty black paper and I left the clinic and took my princess to her final resting place with the rest of our well loved pets in the cemetery we have at the farm.
I think I cried more than I have ever cried in my life.
I never thought it would be SO hard losing a pet.
coming home without her was insanely difficult. everything reminded me of her. I cried and cried and cried.
I am thankful for the amazing staff at the vet clinic who went out of their way to try and comfort me.
I am more than thankful for all of the amazing time I had with kobe. she was my rock. she got me through so much.
she was close to 20 years old and for a little cat she lived a long and happy life but I will forever miss her and never forget her.

This made my week.
So you know, my other husband... In my dreams...
he started posting videos on Instagram.
Totally made my week.
Maybe my month.
Sad? Slightly stalkerish? possibly... I just can't help myself

Love these! And so did hugo!
Super easy and yummy!
And FYI... They work just as well with baking powder. I Accidentally added that last time.
I used whole wheat flour and also added blueberries.
Hugo just started liking pancakes so these are awesome.
