SUNDAY & NO RAIN

SUNDAY
OCTOBER 30 2016

Got up at 7:20AM. Wilson actually let us sleep late.

I had nightmares all night long; when I woke up, it felt like somebody had beat me up. No real rest.

We made the bed, opened the windows and turned on the humidifiers.

Hubby came downstairs to make eggs for the dogs. I warmed up Souffle that I had made. Fed the dogs. Gave Bud his antibiotics.

Ate breakfast.

We went downstairs to clean up the kitten room and feed them. They were climbing up our legs!

THE WEEKEND

THE WEEKEND

Saturday
October 29 2016

Slept late until 6:30 and then Wilson came upstairs to wake us up. He jumped on the bed, licked our faces, wiggled around. Then he jumped down and ran downstairs to wake up Bud. Bud growled at him, then staggered out into the livingroom. Wilson raced up the stairs again to go wake up Ben.

So hubby got out of bed and fixed breakfast for them. He put on Bud's brace to enable Bud to walk better.

After I warmed up some Souffle for breakfast and made hot tea, we went downstairs to clean up the kitten room and feed them.

Hubby held Fluffy & Zim to introduce them to Ben. It worked out well. Both of the kittens were calm and did not get upset.

We loaded the dogs up in the Dually and went to get hubby a latte in A-town. Joy was there and served the drink up well.

Drove down to Farragut State Park and took the dogs for a walk on Gun-Shooting Road. Ben had a great adventure as a wild dog. Hubby was obsessed with all the mushrooms that had popped up from all the rain that we have been having.

It was a wonderful, yet cold, sunny day. Buddy did quite well on the walk. We kept the leash on him to prevent him from injury. All the dogs had a quick drink of water before we left the park.

Then we drove to Gary's to pick up a check from him for last year's storage of boats. Hubby also found out that the boat parked in front of the shop was from Gary's, also. At least it was not abandoned!

Drove back to A-town and got more latte. Then we came home. Unloaded dogs at the house. Ben decided that he was going to run down to the shop so that he could play with Jack.

I did laundry. Did dishes.

Took a nap for an hour on the couch.

IT STARTED RAINING AT 4;30PM.

Hubby got home just before it started raining. He brought boxes from the mail box. They had gotten all the storage vehicles inside the building before it started raining.

We watched TV; new show on the BBC - Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Ate dinner. I drank a gallon of water today. Kept peeing all day.

Went to bed around 11PM.

NAILS & RAIN

FRIDAY
OCTOBER 28 2016

Got up at 6AM with hubby. It was still raining.

Hubby left money to deposit in checking account. He also re-adjusted Bud's leg brace before he left.

Gave the dogs some ham, then wrapped Bud's antibiotic pills in the ham & gave it to him.

KR texted and said they were on their way to the Oregon coast.

I sat on the couch covered with a blanket until 8AM.

Then kittens started making noise.

I prepared the kitten food, then went downstairs to feed them & clean up their room again.

Started laundry.

Made souffle. 

Toothless has been cleaning up the shop and taking away metal from the shop all this week. It is starting to look much cleaner.

The guys finally got the Forklift running again!!!

Hubby got home after working 2 hours OT.

It was raining. I was too tired and did not want to go out to celebrate my graduation tonight.

We decided to stay home.

Went to bed early around 10PM.

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

THURSDAY

October 27 2016

GRADUATION

Got up at 6AM with hubby. Hugged him and said goodbye. Squishy dogged all the dogs between us.

I readied myself for school at 7AM. 

Fed the kitties & cleaned up their mess in the bathroom.

Gave dogs ham; gave Bud his antibiotics wrapped in ham.

Left for school at 8AM.

Drove to school. It was RAINING.

Sat in Jen's A&P class. 

At school, Kim was a few minutes late. She said there was an accident on the Interstate. 

Kim sat in class for 1 hour, then left to go get Starbucks drinks. She brought me back a drink and snuck it thru the curtain to me. It was funny. She said it was my Graduation "pressie".

I stayed in class for 2 more hours. Jackie said to come see her after class to get everything wrapped up. She intimated that I had 3 more hours of class because I was not there on Tuesday. I explained that I had attended 36 hours of make-up. She interrupted me and told me it did not matter what "she had said", it only mattered what was written down. Jen was in the office making copies and (I did not know this, she told the class later) that she had had heart palpatations from hearing that. She supplied the sign-in sheet for make-up classes. It verified that Jackie did not have my 10/20/2016 class recorded. So I had enough hours.

The last hour in class, we just sat there. Jen was done lecturing. I did the AMTA sample test on their APP for practice.

Finally, got out of class. Jackie had all my paperwork ready. Check from the school was signed. I had the paperwork to send it. Got my Graduation certificate!

I AM DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Panda came in while I was talking to everybody. Then I left at about 12:45. 

Drove over to the CO in Post Falls to see hubby. Showed him and he congratulated me. Dave 2.0 briefly showed up and he congratulated me, too.

I drove home. It was still raining.

I got the mail.

Unloaded all my books and bags from the car. No more school stuff, no more sheets to carry around!

Watched TV. Did laundry. Did dishes.

Hubby got home at 5:30. I showed him my certificate. He had forgotten to get me a card. This weekend, we will go out for dinner & a drink to celebrate.

He made spaghetti for dinner.

We went downstairs later with the vacuum to clean up the kitty room. Put them in the massage room so we could clean. 2 kitties escaped and stayed in the bathroom up on the top of the shower because they were scared while we cleaned.

Wilson had dragged a tree branch into the house and we had to vacuum up that mess.

Finally went to bed at Midnight. I decided not to take allergy pills to sleep because they are drying out my skin.

About 1AM, a stink bug crawled up my leg while in bed. I jumped out of bed and threw him out the window. It made me feel creepy crawly after that.

BUDDY THROWING UP BLOOD

TUESDAY
10-25-2016

Got up this morning after hearing hubby talking to Wilson. Thought that Wilson was stuck in the bathroom because he was crying; but it was because he went into the Library and found Buddy in a pool of blood.

Buddy was throwing up blood. Hubby cleaned him up and put the dog bed in the wash.

Hubby left for work.

I stayed home from school and called the Vet at 7:45AM. Made an appointment to take him in at 8:15AM.

Drove Buddy to the Vet. I had to load him into Hubby's dually.

At the Vet, Dr Mike thought that maybe he had a cyst or infection that had burst in the back of his throat or mouth. Buddy's breath and body odor smelled like poison.

Dr Mike gave him some anti-biotics.

Took Buddy home again.

Watched Buddy all day. Cleaned up after him.

I did laundry & dishes.

Drove over to KR's. Talked with her awhile. She was all excited to tell us about Casino Night that she had attended with co-workers at Northern Quest. She had lots of fun.

Then I drove over to Spokane Valley Caruso's. Walked in and ordered cider beer. It was too sweet. The help was rude. Pizzas were salty. We were forced to sit away from the main group which was disappointing. Kim and her friend were there. We finally had to go outside to do the presentation because it was too loud inside. Stood by the fireplace and they handed out bags. Then we left.

Ran into fire department, police, and ambulances on the Pines Exit. Was yelled at by a rude Fireman when we asked if we could get thru the road.

Turned around and got on I-90. Learned later that there was a "Suspicious Device" that they were looking for in that area.

Drove KR home. I dropped hubby off at the yard so he could pick up his Dually. We both drove home. I was still hungry, but we watched tv and went to bed early.

Woke up to lots of rain. A torrential rain pouring down. Dark clouds.

Hubby came upstairs from sleeping on the recliner couch last night. He had a severe headache and could not sleep in the bed. It helped him to sleep sitting up.

Hubby drove me to Post Falls. We stopped to get a latte for him. Then he dropped me off at Ross Point Baptist Camp to do the chair massage. Angela was already there.

When we got there, hubby parked the Jeep in a big pool of water because he could not see it as it was so dark. I got out and stepped into it, soaking both feet.

Went inside and ordered dinner. Our waitress was tired, and not serving well. They brought dinner out to me with a salad and stupid olives on it. I hate olives because they remind me of worms. I almost barfed. They did not re-plate the damn thing before bringing it out. Hubby took the salad off my plate and put it on his. He had ordered soup and salad. I had gotten the french dip & fries.

We ate then returned home. Went to bed. So tired.

I did not go to school for the last day. I was too exhausted and sick. Coughing.  Took the last of the Zpack today and did not feel any better.

Fed ham to the dogs. Gave Bud his pain killer.

Cleaned up the kittens and gave them food. I washed their entire floor.

Did laundry. Did dishes.

Slept a little today. Stupid kids in the back were racing around on their motorcycles.

It rained today.

Got up at 8:30. Slept late. fed ham to the dogs. Gave Bud his pain killer.

Cleaned up the kittens and gave them food.

Did laundry. Did dishes.

Paid Bills.

Vacuumed.

Ben threw up 3 times today. Once outside on the deck, Once in the Library, and Once in the Hallway. Took me 1 hour to clean it all up.

I took a nap around 3PM-5PM. Could not  keep my eyes open. I was exhausted.

Dave Rodriguez came over to borrow the Dually and the trailer, but decided to change his mind because the trailer does not have brakes and the guy he is hauling the backhoe for did not want to haul it unless it had brakes.

Hubby got home at 6PM.

He changed clothes and we drove in to CDA with the Jeep. Wash the Jeep at the car wash. Then we went to Outback Steakhouse to have their special Towering Shrimp & Filet.





It was pretty good. Our waitress was Heidi. She was a very good server.

We drove home via Seltice and 41. Instead of getting groceries, we came directly home. I was exhausted.

Watched Archer and went to bed.

MAKE UP TIME

WEDNESDAY
10-5-2016

Got up at 6AM with hubby. Had to potty and get things out of my Jeep before he took it to work.

I was going to take the Dually today so that I could drop Bud off at the Vet's office at 8AM.

Dressed. Fed the cats and cleaned up after them.

Took Bud into the vet at 8AM. Left him there. Broke out coughing as I was there. Maggie took Bud to the back room.

Drove to school.

Sat with Elsbeth in class. Pam's Pathology class for MCP22.

It was so boring. We took a quiz. I got 80% correct.

Kim came at Noon. Shelly drove her car. Elsbeth, Kim, Shelly, and I went to Starbucks for drinks and Del Taco for tacos. Shelly would not let me pay for anything.

We went back to class and ate lunch.

Kim was supposed to be doing three 80-minute massages today. They asked her to do one more and she said no.

I left at 1PM.

Drove to Rathdrum and picked up Mouse kill baits at Ace Hardware.

I drove to the Vet's and picked up Buddy. Paid the bill.

 Buddy Going to Vet


Drove home. Got mail.

Took Bud inside. Wilson really missed him. I unloaded everything. Left the Dually outside the garage so hubby could put it inside himself. I am too scared to ding the fenders.

I ate my other taco.

Dumped garbage. Put out the mouse poison baits. Did laundry. Put away dishes.

Dr Mike called and said Bud has cruciate knee ligament damage. Needs surgery. TPLO.

Took a nap for an hour. Had horrible dreams.

BUSINESS PRESENTATION DAY

TUESDAY
OCTOBER 4, 2016

BUSINESS PRESENTATION DAY

Woke up at 6AM when hubby left. I stayed in bed with Wilson until 7AM.

Got up and gave the dogs fresh food & water. Hubby had already given Bud his pill.

I went downstairs and cleaned up the kitties and gave them fresh food & water.

Then I got dressed in a long black dress for my "professional look".

It was cold again today. About 38 when I got up.

Drove to school.

Got there about 8:50AM. I was coughing still. Took in my tea, kleenex for my nose, and Mucinex DM. Took some Ibuprofen to calm my throat.

Kim and I made our "fake presentation" of Fist & Swallow Massage. Pam laughed. Jackie & Christine thought it was cute.

Then Kim started the real presentations. She did very good. Angela was next, then I was third. Shelly was last at 11:30-12:00. It seemed that only Shelly and I had done the extent of the assignment.

When we were finally finished, Pam handed out End of the Month Progress reports, Jackie did not have mine, so she printed it up.

Kim and I went down to Starbucks to get Shelly a mint tea while Kim got a decaf coffee, they gave her the wrong size, so gave her a gift certificate for a free drink next time.

Then we went back. I got my papers & books. Kim went to massage. I gave Shelley's drink to Christine, and I picked up my progress report from Jackie.


I drove home. It was raining and cold.

It felt like a HUGE WEIGHT HAD BEEN LIFTED FROM MY SHOULDERS. Maybe I can go back to feeling normal now. No More Pressure.

At home, I got the mail. The seat pad had come in the mail. USPS had stuffed it into our mailbox, even tho it did not fit. They had ripped the packaging.

I unloaded all my books, mail, and put everything away.

Washed all my winter outer wear for the coming cold season. Got out hubby's beanies for the season. Tried to take a nap, but could not.

Had some lunch.

Gave Bud another pill.

Made an appointment to take Bud into the Vet tomorrow for Xrays.

Registered our Settlement claim online for the Sirius lawsuit.

Made payment to Electric Co-op.

Internet still keeps going down every few minutes. Very frustrating.

It is 5:30. Already dark out. Most of today was dark with rain clouds.

Lions Train Ride

SATURDAY
10-4-2016

I woke up this morning and felt awful. I really did not want to go to Ione for the Lions Train Ride, but it was their last year. We have been trying to go for several years, but kept forgetting to purchase tickets until they were sold out. I had purchased tickets VERY early this year.

Hubby made eggs for the dogs.

Then he went down to the shop and met some people; people to look at shop to leave boats.

When he came back, we got everything ready. Blankets, scarves, mittens, snacks, bag.

It was very cold out today and had been raining. However, the sky looked clearer towards the West.

Hubby stopped in Spirit Lake to get a latte. I had ice chips in a cup. Tried to keep hydrated.

I slept most of the way up to Ione. It was a long drive.

We found the RR tracks and parked at the very end. I went to get our tickets at Will-Call while hubby went to use the restroom. People were moving slowly like cattle. It was tedious. Finally got in line for a covered train car. I did not want to sit outside and get cold & rained on.

Lions Train Ride Tickets


We changed cars at the last minute because the one to the left seemed to have less children. We got on the car and settled into the seats.

I covered up with the blanket. Tried to stay awake. I was aching and coughing and had a fever.


Going Over River on Way to Metaline Falls


We rode up to Metaline Falls and saw some great scenery. Also got "held up" by some fake train robbers that were taking donations for the local Theatre.

When we returned to Ione and the depot, we disembarked and got hot dogs. Hubby ordered while I used the restroom.

Hubby toured the town, we stopped outside of town to take a picture of the local "massage parlor".

Massage Parlor in Ione


Then we drove back home. I fell asleep again.

At home, I went to bed. It was a long exhausting day.
