5 thoughts on 3 relaxing activity videos with dogs

I figured if I'm allowed to hang with my dog, that I can actually try some new things!
  1. Five Minute Guided Meditation - With your Dog! by Marissa Walch
    1. I actually found some of the breathe counting a bit too long for me so I got uncomfortable
    2. The video says it can help your dog calm down, but I can't vouch for this as my dog is super chill
    3. My dog seem a little confused as to why I made her come out from under the covers, but remained calm
    4. Closing my eyes and breathing deeply at my own pace while petting my dog is relaxing
    5. I think I will do something like this when I am getting stressed out during the day
  2. Stress Relieving Session | Labrador & German Shorthaired Pointer by Zazu Talks
    1. Okay I actually really dislike how the signing bowl sounds in this video
    2. She has the calmest dog in the world (so maybe this works?)
    3. My dog didn't seem to react one way or another to the massage
    4. It was nice to sort of pet my dog with intent as opposed to the half-minded way I often do
    5. I think having a guided massage to do with my dog does help me focus in on her and block some other stuff out
  3. DOG YOGA Class: DOGA by AnimalWised
    1. Is it just my WiFi or is the sound very off?
    2. My dog did really like the massage techniques this video suggested
    3. I did appreciate that the video said to not force your dog to do anything
    4. My dog was fairly confused as to why I was on the floor and she wouldn't lie down with me, but she did sit next to me to stand guard
    5. You know, after finishing this, I do feel a bit more relaxed
(Prompt by me)

Starting my parental journey, part 1

To be clear, I am not pregnant. Nor do I currently plan on being pregnant soon. However, I promised myself that if I was 30 and still single I'd start to explore my options for having a child either on my own or later in life with a partner. Well, 30 came and went, but 31 is still here so close enough I figure. My first step was to make an appointment to discuss options with a doctor because I could do all the research I wanted on the internet, but I knew it would overwhelm me. As I write this, I haven't had that appointment yet so no news there. Now I made this appointment in February (hey, I was still 30 then!) and it was originally scheduled for October (yes, an 8-month wait for an initial appointment), but last week the appointment got moved up to this week and things got moving! The timing feels right in a certain way. Two people I care about are having babies in the next month, someone else I love is expecting next year, and I also know multiple couples either trying or g

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica
