I’m loving this outfit! Sorry late night. Thankfully some of the auditors are done and won’t be needing anything else from me. The other one tho is requesting a good bit of info. I’m now realizing I had no clue there was certain policies that were supposed to be followed outside the scope of normal accounting requirements. All I know is things are going to change and policies and procedures will be hashed out and rewritten 🤨. Spending 3 hrs finding documents in 15 different places isn’t efficient use of my time 😠. Stepping off my soapbox. Going to sleep now 😘
Day 1 with auditors not bad. They were comparing expenses I’ve approved against policies. There was a gray area, but I made my stance and policy will be rewritten 😄. I mean when your job is to travel where you’re told, it’s pretty much an approval from you manager that sets your schedule 😏.
My grow bags are kinda working. Squash is doing extremely well! Still waiting to see how peppers, tomatoes, green beans will do. Radishes are supposed to be soooo easy to grow, yet seems mine never do🙄. Carrots are a bust too😖.
Another deadline was dropped on me today. Stuff due next Tuesday 😩.
On a positive note, took Mickey to advanced obedience training and the owner said he was one of the best behaved boxers she’s seen. 😁 yes, I am proud of my boy😋.
I’m still so fucking tired and need sleep!!!! Night night😘
Took Mickey out paddle boarding yesterday. He’s doing great. I was able to stand the entire time. I even got him to swim. Yes…that’s me squealing like a girl 🤣. I was so proud of him! Think we’ll definitely be spending more time paddle boarding this summer!
I’m a little panicked. Found out today company will have an audit in 2 weeks 😩. I have my deadline on Tuesday for financials the another deadline 20th. So going to be a busy few weeks. And my helper will be on vacation. I’m quite stressed!!!
On a happier note, told you Mickey graduated obedience training. I took him tonight to start agility training. He had so much fun. I think it’ll be a great bonding experience for us both. I’m one that wants to interact and have a connection with my dog, don’t want him to just be a dog that lives in my house. I think that’s why it bothers me so much that he doesn’t want to play.
Late night again. I want to brag on my Mickey. He passed all his milestones so he moves up to another class. 😁. He’s done so well with training… tho still tests my patience at times 🤣. All part of the process, I suppose. I still think he looks like a grumpy old man 🤣
Gotta make this quick. Already 11 pm😖😩. On a walk tonight and trying to get a selfie with Mickey.
Meal prep several adobo seasoned chicken breasts, opened can of seasoned black beans and made Mexican seasoned rice. I know doesn’t look appetizing, but added Greek yogurt and salsa and it’s a great balanced meal. 😁
Working on arms and back this morning…ugly faces were made 🤣. Okay. Night night 😙
I did manage some pics this weekend when took Mickey paddle boarding. Going out was good and he did so well. Coming back into the dock wasn’t fun. Going against 6-8 mph winds and gusts up to 18mph. And against the current. We were on the river.
Good evening 😘. I thought the rains were done when I decided to take Mickey for our evening walk, obviously not. We both ended up soaked by time we made it home. That’s okay sometimes it’s good for your soul to walk in the rain. 😄.
I seriously wonder what people think of me when i walk in someplace. Took the company car in for service at the dealership. I swear so many guys were looking at me. I’m wondering if I’ve got TP trailing behind me or 3 heads🤣. Or do they just never see women with muscles 🤣? I’m clueless! Good night 😘
I was a lady in red today 😄. I am feeling better day by day. Training class with Mickey tonight. He passed another milestone so 2 more and we advance into the next class. I’m hoping it’ll be n Dr wee! Off to bed. Night night 😘
Yes, I’m still here. I know. Was sick all weekend and spent it all on the couch relaxing. I know I needed it, but feels like I wasted an entire holiday weekend. Mickey still expected his two daily walks. I got a stare down and grunts until I relented 😄🙄. Thankfully he also kept me company sleeping all day too😄. Hope you had a good weekend 😘
I’m putting yesterday and today’s pics in this post. Took Mickey paddle boarding yesterday and I’m pleased to report that his down stay once on the board was much easier and he didn’t feel like he was being pressured 😄. I brought treats and simply asked for a sit, then down stay. Off on the water we went. Only one correction for getting out of the down position. He just needs to understand that no matter what is happening he’s not to get out of the down stay position. He got to have his zoomies in the waters edge. He’s not a fan of swimming so we’ll be working building his confidence to swim. He was so relaxed and chill on our way back to the dock that I was able to stand up even on the slightly choppy water of the river. I was extremely pleased with him and his progress!
Classes are a little better each week and we work on training 10-15 min most days at some point. Eventually he’ll get what is proper behavior while out in public which will be fantastic because then I can take him places without him being a nuisance! Eventually I’d like to get him trained off leash with reliability! All in due time😁
Got Mickey on the paddle board was the super easy part. Hardest part was getting him to down or even sit…force was used😬…just pulled leash down and pushed his ass until he finally did. 🙄. I stayed on my knees so when he did jump up, I grabbed the leash and pulled it down repeating the down stay command. I want him to learn he’s not allowed up from that position while on the board. I think I corrected him 2-3 times. We moved locations a couple times and had the same issue with him down stay once on the board. I’ll need to practice with treats. The way he acted it was like I was putting him in a dungeon 🙄😄
After got the pfd from my ex earlier, damned if I didn’t forget to put it in the car this morning 😩🙄. That’s why he’s not pictured with it. All in all I was pleased with our first time out 😁
Had a great workout tho it was a struggle to get through. That’s when I maybe don’t go overly heavy, but really focus on the mind muscle connection and making sure I’m getting the full movement.
Getting home from work about 6-6.30. I’ll play some with Mickey, feed him, and eat something myself. I’ll start packing my lunch bag and cook if I absolutely have to. Try to do batches on the weekends. Then I’ll do about 15 min of training before we go for a walk. By time we get done, it’s about 7.30. Finish packing lunch, snacking, and finishing my evening with a protein shake. Bed about 10.30🙄. Back up at 4.50 am and at the gym before 5.30 am. 😮💨 I’ve had to cutout logging in food to MyFitnessPal app😢😩. I just don’t have time. I’m not gaining weight. I’m sure you’re thinking that’s great. However, I want to be in a lean bulk phase which means my goal is to eat enough to grow my muscles. I should be gaining 3-4 lbs a month, most of it muscle. I know sounds silly, but I’m actually serious about it. Off to bed. Night night😘
Month end closing at work. I’m not as stressed since I have 5 more days than normally. Tho was tasked with figuring out the impact of tariffs on our parts we order for inventory. It was just 10%, but cost us $17k more this month in our inventory parts. 😬
I’m still healing from the hamstring injury. Still not able to run at all, but least I’m able to walk. Started training classes last night with Mickey. I just want a well behaved dog I can take out in public and not be a nuisance. It just takes time and consistency with training.
I signed Mickey up for obedience training classes. Tomorrow evening is our first class. I like its small classes limited 6 dogs. It operates on a milestone system so when he’s able to perform certain things than we can advance to another class. It has flexibility and think it’s exactly the mild distractions that he needs to accelerate his progress. He has lunged a couple times on our evening walk, but since I’ve worked with him getting him used to the gentle leader no disastrous injuries. He’s much easier to catch and correct the behavior. He’s still not a fan of it, but he’s figured out if he wants to walk then he has to wear it. I tried a pinch collar, but am likely the leader better.
