I submitted my official admissions agreement to @cambridgeuniversity & I'm over-the-moon excited to begin my Master's in Sustainability Leadership at @cisl_cambridge in September. A dream come true! To celebrate, I'm going to @myersofkeswick to get some British goodies. Will they have Percy Pigs? Let's see! As @j_corden recently said on @latelateshow, British candy saves lives! ❤️🇬🇧 A stressful week called for a decadent Sunday dinner: I made lemony pasta with roasted artichoke hearts, olives, capers, garlic, chili, parmesan, and tahini butter Things I'd like to change: During Phin's vet appointment yesterday we were in the Remy exam room—1 of many signs. When I adopted him, I almost named him Remy after the character in @disney 's Ratatouille for his courage, determination, & using his voice to speak up for himself. I often call him my Little Chef. The lesson—remember why you started this journey together and don't give up! Art immitating life immitating art.❤️ I almost said goodbye to my beloved dog, Phineas, today. He wasn't able to eat or drink this morning. I got scared and called my local vet. They said to bring him in to assess. The vet was so kind. She said this decision is never easy, and there is no wrong decision. I'm still processing the series of events that followed.  Life force is a thing. Phin couldn't keep food or water down today. The dr said to rush him to the ER. They were sure he was having heart failure. Nope. Coming home w/ stomach meds as we wait to see if steroids kick in for the inflammation that's making eating and nutrition a chronic challenge for him. I thought for sure I was going to lose him tonight. But he's not ready to go yet. He just keeps fighting to stay here with me a while longer, so on we go. Not today, Death. Not today.❤️ I really have the kindest neighbors in my building. Many stopped by to say hi to me & Phin, to check on him, & to say that if we need anything they're here for us. Two of them just stopped by w/ flowers & chocolate. We are feeling the love today. Goodness lives! 1 incredible thing about having a senior dog who is nearing the end is every single moment of every single day has so much more meaning. My Phin is truly showing me how to live & love all of it. It's really something to feel heartbroken & grateful all at once.
