For today’s random Friday things post I just have some life updates all around.
[one]
Because Simon never wants to go to the shelter and walk dogs with me anymore, I started going in the mornings instead of after he gets home from school. Last week the shelter posted about me since I’ve been walking dogs weekly for almost a year! This is the photo that I took and they shared.
This dog is Crystal, a husky mix. She has been adopted and returned a few times and now she’s adopted again, so I’m hoping it lasts for her. She’s a little hyper but really cute! She’ll run all around when she first starts walking and then she’ll just flop down and fall asleep in the middle of the walk. By the way, my arm is wet in the picture because she licked me.

Gabbie has been very busy – during Sukkot, she took off an extra day and a half from school and flew to Toronto to hang out with her friends from her trip this past summer. It sounds like they had fun.
As of Wednesday night, she has completed and submitted three of her college applications! Hopefully the fourth will be ready soon. I have to give another shout out to Lindsay from Simply Admissions because she has really helped us with this process. Editing the essay, getting everything into the common app, etc. has been so much easier with her help.
This week is senior night at the football game and here is a picture of Gabbie with her senior banner!
(and her biggest fan)

Zachary was working on equations of some sort in chemistry class and realized that on the day I took this picture he was 5600 days old and the following day he was 184 months old. I posted this on Facebook and a lot of people thought it was his birthday – on his next birthday he’ll have a few more months to count! And maybe by then he’ll let me take him for a haircut.
Zachary has been sick pretty much all month. On Rosh Hashanah he wasn’t feeling well and didn’t go to synagogue the first day. After the holiday he stayed home from school and we went to the doctor but it was just a cold. Then on Sukkot he got another cold and missed another day of school this week. He home tested negative for Covid but he was coughing too much for me to send him in! Hopefully it will go away soon.
Is that enough updating for today? I will suppose it is!
Have a great weekend!
