What shall I watch next?

Happy Sunday everyone! After a full week of sunshine, today is cloudy but not cold at all. We've had a pretty good January so far. We keep noticing how much brighter the days are. We no longer need lights on in the morning when we take the pooches out. How nice!

This past week was uneventful for us except for Tuesday. Cooper woke up with an inflamed anal gland. Our vet clinic was booked solid but he was seen between patients, lucky for him. All is OK now although Coop is on antibiotics for another week. Our vet gave us pain killers just in case but there was no need to use them. 

The events that took place on Capitol Hill on Wednesday made us really sad. The world is really messed up, in more ways than one. Let's hope for better months ahead on all fronts. 

Russell continues to make good progress with his ancestry project. On Thursday, just after our dinner, the phone rang and it was his distant cousin calling all the way from Luxembourg. She is 82. He found her about two years ago and they have been in touch since via Facebook. They spoke for quite some time. How cool is that!

Today, I finished watching the Queen's Gambit. I truly enjoyed this series, only one season and seven episodes. A very compelling story and really great acting. I highly recommend it, whether you like chess or not. Now, I have to decide what to watch next.....the options are endless but I do have a few ideas. I haven't done much reading lately, thank you Netflix.

I had four good workouts this past week. One from Obe Fitness and the other three courtesy of someone we know from Huntsville. She trained Russell for a while and is a competitive body builder (natural category). For the month of January, she will be posting many YouTube workouts each week. I can't wait for this week's videos. They are very well done and anybody can do them. 

We enjoyed many nice walks last week by the lake. The scenery is so beautiful. Yesterday, we met this older lady who simply fell in love with Spicy & Cooper. She said it was nice therapy to be able to talk to us and see our dogs.  In between our many walks, Cooper & Spicy had some fun in the basement. Their gym is just as nice as ours...and we share the BOSU and stability ball!

That's my blog for today. Lots of football games on so Russell is happy. I will now figure out which Netflix series to watch next, maybe Dead to Me, I don't want anyting too intense right now. Decisions, decisions. I wish you all a great week! Stay safe and healthy!

The wait game...both focused, 
the reward is on the small target in front of them.
