Five on Friday in Pictures

Third time running at my favorite reservoir in two weeks. I’m just really digging it right now. This was maybe the last sunny afternoon we’ll have for a while.
Serval was back at the vet again this morning, because he had blood in his urine again. He’s been eating the prescription food for almost a month and his urinary issues are supposed to be resolved so seeing the pink pee yesterday was a major bummer. They checked him and he doesn’t have crystals in his bladder anymore but it is inflamed and they aren’t sure why. They’re hoping the urine analysis will tell us more.
A student gave me this tiny Hydroflask bottle and I must say I’m flummoxed. What is one supposed to drink out of a bottle that size? It’s 200mL, that isn’t even a full cup?! Why does this bottle exist? I am really just very confused.
I went to change my Silicone wedding ring and I tried on my actually wedding ring and it fit! I haven’t worn it in years because for a while it was too big, but now my knobby knuckle seems prepared to keep it in place. I forgot how beautiful my ring is! I love it and I’m excited to wear it again. The husband and I realized that this January will be 20 years since we started dating, and it feels fitting that I’m wearing the ring we had made for us again.
Today I was home alone (both kids still had school) and I decided to take advantage of that space to wrap all the presents. It took WAY longer than I expected and I didn’t get nearly as much other stuff done as I was hoping to, but I did get EVERYTHING wrapped, and I’m happy for that. It’s definitely a weight off my shoulders to have the wrapping done.

  1. I also had a couple hours with no kids, and the wrapping took up basically the whole time. I love your wedding ring, and I’m glad it fits in time for 20 years together–what a milestone. We’ve been together 16 years, and will have been married for 10 this coming July.

  2. Congratulations on ring and pictures and running and GETTING EVERYTHING wrapped. Such an achievement. Hopefully this means you can now enjoy the holidays! Do hope the lab tests provide a highly fixable inexpensive answer rapidly. Having everyone start the new year in good health is the desired outcome.
    So far the wet is not as much as projected but they seem to just move the forecast along and space it with dry periods which helps the soil absorb it. Good news.
    Keep enjoying this time of holidays!

  3. I did my wrapping yesterday, and it feels so good to have that big job behind me. That’s a beautiful run, I’m glad you were able to enjoy it.

  4. I’ve seen those tiny Hydroflasks and I also wonder: why do they exist? LOL

    Your ring is beautiful. I am glad you’ll be able to wear it again.

  5. The dept store I shop at wraps for free, and I LOVE that. Mini likes to wrap, so she wrapped everything else. I also used a ton of giftbags this year, which I save and can use again next year. What is up with that tiny hydroflask. Is it meant for alcohol? Mind blown here. That photo – dang, if I got to run somewhere that looked like that I might run a lot longer.
