We’re so happy to have found an Orthodontist we like, and one of the nice things about them is their cool and comfy office. A nice selection of magazines, free coffee and water, and beautiful view really make a difference!
A few years ago, we used to keep a stepping stool next to our bed for our cat Miki, who needed help as she got older. One of our current cats, Anko, is a little overweight and jumping is a bit of a challenge, so I brought the little step stool out again. Gotta help out our furry friends! 😺

I hit the trail today with an almost-fully-loaded backpack (only missing food and clothes) to test out my set up. The backpack was comfortable and I worked out a few things, including how to carry my camera and if I prefer hiking with one or two trekking poles (single is better). In addition, my 700 ml bottle on the shoulder strap works great! I’m happy the water bottle sleeve I picked up from Daiso will see service. 😊
I only put in a mile and a half, but the hike was really nice with some great views. On the trail I saw several other people and I must have looked odd hiking with a huge backpack while a water bottle was all that was really needed. But I didn’t get any comments on the pack. Which is a shame… I was looking forward to explaining my training for the upcoming Big Bend trip!
I hope you had a good day!

I bought these instant coffee packets at the supermarket today. Each box cost less than a dollar, whereas if you buy “backpacking coffee”, you’ll be paying over a dollar per packet. Granted, the backpacking coffee is supposed to be much tastier, the price is over my threshold. 😄
