Walkies and Taxes

We had yet another quiet Saturday in these parts. 

Doug did our taxes. We owe the state, we are getting from the feds. It all evens out nicely. 

Geoff went to the market, and took Toffee for a walk. Doug went to take a nap because taxes are hard so Dahlia very much needed a walk. I wanted him to take her, but he was in nap mode so, I took her because she was losing her shit at Geoff being out of the house with Toffee. 

To be honest, she is a joy to walk on the leash when it is just us. I put on the playlist, we went a certain route, I added an extra block but should have added another. This was a good walk. 

I got home and Geoff started cooking dinner, not much more exciting happening. We watched a comedian named Andrew Schultz' new special on Netflix. Parts of it were hilariously funny, especially as he talked about the entire IVF process he and his wife went through. A mix of ribald and ridiculous, and touching and human. Just how one would like comedy.

I thought of friends who just welcomed a baby they had to fight to get made. They had IVF and twins, a couple years ago but a genetic problem resulting in the fact that the babies would not make it to delivery resulted in them deciding to let them go.

Walking through all of this with her, talking about it, the heartbreak and the pain they experienced. Oh my goodness. 

So tonight I've spent a lot of time thinking about babies and how hard it is to do babies. And sometimes it is very easy, and sometimes not so much.

Anyway. My heart was heavy after watching his special. Not sure he'd expect that from a viewer but. Yeah.

Well, after our walks, both dogs were wiped out. I thought Toffee looked sweet in the one sunbeam in the house.
