Wine Wednesday sounds great to me!
Keisha- So cute! I so want a dog but we wouldn't be responsible pet owners if we got one now. I'll have to live vicariously through others who have pets. (There is likely a gerbil in our near future since they don't have a long life expectancy, but I still want a dog or cat!)
Not sure about hot flash stage. I've been getting those during the middle of the night for as long as I can remember - even in my 20's. That's the only time I really have them so perhaps it's blood sugar related. I have been noticing that they've been coming more often recently though. So, maybe I'm entering that stage of life. Eyesight has decreased a little - I don't need reading glasses quite yet but I have noticed a difference.
Still no rain here. We desperately need rain to decrease the chance of more wildfires. We now have to water part of our backyard with the hose since the lawn guys sliced a hose part by one sprinkler one day. I put in the work order but who knows when they'll get that fixed. Our HOA includes all yard work - which is usually nice. Just annoying when things won't get fixed as fast as they would otherwise.
