Yukon dogs and wake up

After a short night, well, not really but abrubtelly stopped by smoke alarm. But is it really the smoke alarm? Checked out but.. let’s see later.

Get up at 9:40am

Finally at 9:40am I made myself a coffee… again this ring…but it’s not the smoke alarm.. it’s one of my cells… the Yukon one.

Now I’m awake.

Christina

Finally at 10:30am I went over to Christina and told her the nice story about my sleepless night, we actually were laughing a lot.

We wanted to do a run today but it didn’t work out (dog run for sure).
