updates all around

The new job has kept me very busy so I haven't had a chance to post anything about it until now (Thank you cats for waking me up a little early this morning). I can't get over how nice it is to be genuinely EXCITED to go to work everyday. It's 3 miles away from the house so I have been traffic-free since I left SBT which also adds appeal to the job. My days are spent cleaning, scooping, pooping, walking, medicating and feeding many cats and dogs. There is a lot of physical activity which sometimes leaves me sore, but I also find it refreshing. A desk job just started to make me feel so stagnant and stiff. I know my body will get used to picking up puppies and litter pans eventually - I'm going to be buff :) When I'm not running around, I'm able to sit with the animals and just give them LOVE. Head scratches and belly rubs for all! Many of the animals have been through some terrible stuff in their lives and these calm, soothing moments really bring value to their lives. I am ecstatic to be able to show them that they can all be loved, no matter what. So so far, the job is just what I wanted it to be!

As far as the No Shampoo thing goes, I'm still no 'pooing it and I'm not looking back! Everything is leveling out now and my hair just feels natural and shiny and healthy. I don't really use the baking soda or apple cider vinegar anymore - just water and a comb in the shower. It still amazes me how nice my hair looks and feels! It doesn't smell bad or look terrible (B confirmed it for me).

Let's see if I can get in another hour of sleep before I go to work today. The job is great, but it's rainy and EVERYONE would much rather stay in bed on a rainy day.
