Beyond a couple minor mishaps, the first day back at school seemed to go well for everyone involved. The oldest, who doesn’t start community college for another week, spend half the day experiencing the local bus system. A successful day I’d say!

Rollercoaster of a time the last day and a half. Our little dachshund had been having some slight respiratory issues and they got pretty serious the last couple days. Took her in to shockingly find she had fluid in the lungs and around the heart. Unfortunately similar to the way we lost our last dog a few years ago. We opted to pay the hefty fee for a drain rather than let the family (aka kids) have that bomb dropped with no warning. So far she’s improved and resting but no telling how long it will last.

Wife did some spa therapy and I did some game therapy, pre-ordering the new Star Wars Outlaws set to release this next week. It’s not had overwhelmingly stupendous reviews yet but it’s Star Wars and I had a gift card sitting around 😂 Here’s hoping release day brings better marks!

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather ProGuard blade, Graydog Art Deco brush, Clown Puke soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Proraso Red AS, and Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Cologne to finish!
