I had a bit of a rough week last week at work and needed a weekend and a bit of a blogcation to clear my brain. I apologize for my absence, but assure you that life is much better now.
My weekend was exactly what I needed. I knocked out some chores which I’d neglected as I worked 10 hours of overtime in the span of three days.

Noodles: I’m not sure I could have handled both Lucy and the monkey on the hike down.
CK: Maybe if you hang out at the top of House Mtn? These people also had munchkins, if you like that sort of thing …
What a beautiful photo! Sometimes reconnecting with nature is exactly what we need. Here’s to a better week!
A monkey! What the hell?
