THE JANUARY BLUES ALREADY

Hello, everyone! Well, I spoke way too soon last Friday. I said I was feeling better and thought I might be over Omicron. Not what happened at all. I honestly felt so much better on Saturday and thankful to be on the other end of this Covid variant until I wasn’t on Sunday. I’ve been hearing that this virus comes in waves. One day you may feel fine, and the next, you are sick again. I woke up on Sunday with the worst headache and stomach issues (from the backside) that lasted all day long.
Monday started the same way, except it was from both ends (sorry to be graphic, but trying to tell what my symptoms were) and that horrible headache! I finally turned the corner yesterday afternoon. When I tested positive for Covid, I thought I was lucky to have the least severe strain, but that was not how it was for me! Anyone else out there sick with it?
THE JANUARY BLUES ALREADY
I have the January blues already (that’s why I chose all blue). I think because it’s been so dreary around my house. Also, I am ready to get out of here and ready to get dressed again! I have not gotten out of my pajamas in over a week (yes, I have washed and changed them daily!). I bought this shacket (online) while I was in Florida after Christmas. Shackets are the best outerwear piece for warmer climates but work when you live in colder areas. For warmer climates, a lightweight top and a shacket are all you need for keeping warm on most days.
If you live in a colder climate, you know the drill and how to layer like pros! I love the length of this shacket because my other two are much shorter. I paired it with an easy long sleeve tee, jeans, and booties for an easy look for anything I do during the day.
Do you all have a leopard belt? I pull this one out and wear it more than any of my belts because it goes with everything. It’s pricey, but I look at the cost per wear, which has probably paid for itself in the last six months. I love the booties I am wearing. They are from Veronica Beard, and I have the same pair in a leopard print (last year) too. They are so darn comfortable! I thought this color was perfect to wear with everything. It’s called Moss and has a little green tone. They sold out and are somewhat re-stocked again. My blue bag is vintage.


What do you do to combat the January blues? You get a puppy!
She’s here and just the cutest thing ever! We named her Lottie (I always give my Cavaliers a British name). She looks just like Maisie did as a puppy because they are related. Maisie’s grandmother is Lottie’s great-grandmother. Anyway, puppy training is zero fun! I forgot that part! She’s actually doing pretty good. I always use a bell on the back door to signal it’s potty time, and she’s already ringing it. I’m super tired, though, because I am getting up at three in the morning to let her pee on top of being sick. We will get there!
I hope you all have a great day! Stay WELL and be safe! xx

So hoping you are feeling better! Love every bit of this look! Perfect for Texas winters.
I was wondering if we could get the name of the breeder you use. We lost one of our cavs this past April and are ready for a sweet puppy (she was a ruby like yours). The breeder we have used in the past is too far away now. Thanks for your posts!

Super cute Cathy. Love the whole outfit. Hope you feel better ASAP! My son caught COVID and is absolutely asymptotic, but still keeps testing and he remains positive. What a mess!

Another super cute outfit from top to bottom. Thank you, Cathy! Sending you healing thoughts, but it sounds like you have plenty of puppy love; that should make you feel better!

I’ve also been locked up since Boxing Day (day after Christmas in the UK). I started with a flu (but negative for covid). Then, New Years Day tested positive for covid. I’ve been in isolation for two freaking weeks now and the headache, fatigue and congestion never seem to quit. I’ve watched so many movies and angst on Insta – Still, let’s try our best to stay positive and you’re not alone! Cheryl xx

Hope you are on the mend, that includes your followers that have been stuck at home too! I’ve been trying to get my house back in order, must have washed 50 loads in the past week????????????????????

Hi, Leah! Thank you so much! Feeling much better! I would love to give you the breeder’s name. My two 1/2-year-old ruby came from her as well as this new one. I can honestly say that my older one is the best dog we have ever had! She is our 4th Cav! I know the hurt of losing one, and a puppy will heal up that pain! The breeder is Marino’s Precious Cavaliers. She is in Idaho but uses pet nannies to deliver the puppies. Please let me know if you get one!
PS…Tom Selleck gets his dogs from her!

Thank you, Lisa! I hope your son is over this crazy thing! How are you? You haven’t gotten it, have you? I keep testing positive too, after two weeks and no symptoms now. What a mess is right! Stay well!!!!! xx
