An April Fool's joke by Mother Nature: turning spring back into winter overnight ❄️🌷❄️ Spring was just around the corner with the snow melting and the geese flying home. 🦆 But in just under a day, the snow is now as tall as I am! 😅 I think today is definitely a snuggle-in-bed kind of day. 💕 A small medication change has left my girl feeling a little bit funky (her body overreacts to everything 🙃), so this surprise April Fool's snow is the perfect thing to make us stay indoors and rest ☺️💤 [Photo shows Kelsie sitting in a winter wonderland: the sidewalk is shoveled, but the snow behind her is taller than she is, and all the bushes and trees are dusted in fresh snow.]

Another day, another medical referral! 🏥 My girl jokes that medical appointments are an extracurricular activity for her. 😋 It's always both stressful and exciting to look for answers. 💬 If the problem turns out to be linked to her fibro like she suspects, there might not be much that anyone can do for her more than the little that's already being done, which is a little disappointing. 😕 But hey, at least my girl and I survived our first week of classes! 😅 It's been difficult having three back-to-back classes, but I've been handling it like a pro. 👊 This isn't my first academic rodeo though! 🏇 At this point, my girl expects me to be as good of a classmate as the human students in the room. 🤓 Just like anywhere else, a service dog like me should be invisible unless I'm doing a task for my girl. ♿️ . . .
