QotD is a feature dedicated to answering questions from Piccadilly’s 5 Year Question a Day Memory Journal. The journal states its purpose is to help reflect back on daily routine and to act as a “time capsule” of experiences. As someone who laments their awful memory, I thought this was a wonderful tool and opportunity.

What do you need to make more time for?

My animals. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats, and I feel like I have been ignoring them since I started this job back in March. I absolutely know I need to spend more time with them, play with them more, spoil them more.

I don’t treat them bad, but I know that their lives are so much shorter than mine. I want to cherish every moment I have with them and not look back and regret not spending more time with them.

My partner asked me once why I always let one of my dogs get in the way of me doing tasks. My answer has always been “One day she won’t be here to get in my way.”
