I've been noticing a few new features on Peakd, it feels like each time, I sign in, there is something new. I'm not so active on here anymore. My life is very full at the moment and I am prioritizing. So I have missed out on a few launches, it seems. I'm trying to get my way around Snaps at the moment, I understand the concept, I think the name says it all really. I need to go look up some launch posts and inform myself.
But as I prepare to go to Ireland next week with my girls, I don't have so much free time. I have been trying to , a few things. Having animals and plants that need taken care of, I have had to find someone to stay at my truck and take over that role. I didn't feel comfortable having a stranger in my home, so I put the word out a few weeks back, that I was looking, hoping a friend, or a friend of a friend could do it.
My Freda, the oldest of our dog companions, is an old lady now. She spends most of her time resting. She'll go for walks every now and again, but she mostly just wants to be inside chilling, especially is¡f we are there. I'm happy to let her do as she pleases. She's a wonderful dog, our love junkie. She just wants to be loved and then she loves to spread it.
I need someone whom she likes, to stay in our home, someone who loves animals, as much as me and luckily I found someone. They came around earlier today. so that we could talk about what needs to be done and how. I am happy to say, that Freya, really liked him. The cats were off doing their thing. so they didn't get to meet him. But I imagine they will get on fine. Of course it will be strange for them, but this guy is super chill and kind.
It's still quite warm here, but I know it will be cold in Ireland, so earlier today, I began to get our winter clothes out, so we could figure out what to pack. We only have carry on bags, so we can't bring much, but that makes it even more important, what clothes we do choose to bring. My youngest is packed, which is good. We only need a few outfits really, though my eldest girls are not very impressed about that. But they have no choice and in the end,they will end up being more creative with what they choose.
I also want to pack some things away, so that there is some space in here. It's also a wonderful excuse to do a deep clean, so I want to start that tomorrow, finally go through a few things and get the place looking good. I've been slipping a bit with that recently, as I have been working so much. I've just not had the energy for it. I could have forced myself, but I'm learning to listen to myself more and take better care of myself.
I have some work to do in the morning, but only for two hours, so after that I'll come home and make a start. Getting my girls to help out as well. Later on, I have another job to get to. So tomorrow is set to be another busy day. Which is why I don't have the time to be online.
I'm really looking forward to going to Ireland with my girls. Getting to meet my nephew and be there for my mum's birthday. It's been many years since I got to celebrate my mum's birthday, with her. And I can't wait to hold my nephew. We've all been waiting for this little person, for quite some time now. I keep seeing pictures of other people holding him, it's definitely my turn now.
The photos used in this post are mine.
I'm so glad you have someone to look after Freya.
Snaps is easy when you are travelling. One photo and a line or two to say what you are up to. Kinda like Instagram in a way.
Have a great trip xx
Ah yes, that's a good way to describe it, maybe I give it a go when I'm in Ireland.
Thank you lovely, sending you lots of love xxxx

Wishing you a wonderful time in Ireland, you sure deserve that. Enjoy your time with your family. Lots of hugs for you!
Thanks so much @hetty-rowan, big hug to you xxx
Many of Hive's frontends have been getting some quite major updates lately, that is for sure. Snaps is just PeakD's version of short-form content, like Ecency Waves, Liketu Moments, InLeo Threads, or DBuzz (though DBuzz publishes them like posts). I noticed it, but I haven't tried it out yet.
I'm happy that you found a good human to care for your animals and your place while you and your girls are in Ireland. That's a really important thing, that they will be cared for and loved well while you're away.
I hope that your last week of preparation goes smoothly and easefully, and that y'all deeply enjoy your time with your family. Have a really beautiful weekend, @trucklife-family! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Thank you @tydynrain, I have still to try it myself.
I'm so relieved to have found someone to be at my home, busy cleaning it this weekend xx
Of course, @trucklife-family, you're always very welcome! People seem to be enjoying it from what I can see. I'm sure, and that's wonderful! May the cleaning go fantastically well! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
I hear you about being busy - likewise, time seems to be at a premium at the moment - I hope you have a fantastic time in Ireland X
Thank you kind Sir xxxx
