REPLACE PANTRY DOOR & GOUGE ON MY RIGHT FOOT

TUESDAY
4-30-2019

Got up at 5:45AM.

I made lattes. Hubby made eggs. Fed dogs.

Woke up with a chunk of flesh torn out of my right foot. I don't remember doing it yesterday or last night.

Put a bandage on it, but it was hurting badly all day.

Tater had pooped on the courtyard again. I got a hose out and cleaned it up. He had pooped 5 other times. So I cleaned them up. I cleaned up cat litter. I vacuumed.

Sat on patio for a while with hubby to eat breakfast.

Then we took the Dually down to the Pioneer Center at 7AM to get in line for BINGO tickets for May 20. We purchased additional tickets for Shaun & Kerry even tho they would not be there. We can play their cards!

Drove back and check on MiMi cat at John & Dee's house. He was eating breakfast.

Hubby left to go work on trailer for guy at the shop; I came inside the house.

Put laundry to wash; put away clean dishes.

Vacuumed some more.

Cleaned up after dogs.

I made more latte. Then I tried to take a nap, but Hubby called and said that the guys were coming to replace the Pantry door.

They came about 30 minutes later.

Brought the door inside and gouged the ceiling. They filled it with plaster. Then had to paint over it. Painted over the door, but the paint does not match. This just keeps getting worse.

After they left, I tried to watch tv, but I am SO exhausted.

Called Pure Window Cleaning and scheduled them to come out next week to wash windows inside & out.

Hubby got back at Noon. He made me a sandwich for lunch.

Then he took a nap outside on the patio until 2:30PM

The Pantry door does not open very well; it seems to get stuck.

We left to go see land over in Scenic at appointment for 3PM with realtor.

Got back at 4PM.

I was awfully tired and slept on the sofa until 6PM.

Dogs were outside playing.

I got up and drank lots of cold water. My foot was hurting badly. We took off the bandage, re-wrapped it again.

We watched TV for a while and went to bed at 10PM.

HUBBY'S BIRTHDAY

MONDAY
4-29-2019

Got up at 5:30AM. Hubby was already in the living room surfing on his iPad.

I got out a muffin because I had forgotten to get a cupcake; put a candle in it and he blew it out.

Hubby & Cupcake

I made lattes. Made the bed. Vacuumed the house. Picked up cat litter. Picked up dog poo. Cleaned out dog bowls & gave them fresh water.

Hubby made eggs. We sat on the patio, but it started raining.

KR called and wished him happy birthday then talked from 7-8AM.

We had to take Lupe's trailer ramp down to him at 8AM. Drove to Littlefield. Got to meet his wife, Doris.

Then it started raining again. We had to go for our pedicure appointment, so we left.

Came home and looked at property online.

Drove to Pedicure Appointment at 12:30. Got our nails done. I got Pittsburgh Blue.

 Not A Quality Paint Job
We then went out to eat at Falcon Ridge Golf Course. Hubby got Philly Cheese Steak. Then I got the French Dip. Very good food.

Snack Chips, Bloody Mary, and Green Tea

We came home and spent time with dogs.

Tried to deposit Google Pay money, but they wanted to "verify I.D." Fuck! That! I am not giving a third party my SS# and personal information.

So Hubby texted KR to tell her to pay us for the tires & wheels on her car in a different way. Maybe write a fucking check?

At 4:30PM, we went over to the Pioneer Center for BINGO. Hope we win tonight. That would make Hubby happy.

Well, it started to get very dark outside. Wind came up. We decided to leave the dogs inside in their cage to nap while we were gone,

We took the Dually over to the Pioneer Center. Picked up our cards; hubby bought additional cards. Then we sat with Dee & John. They already had a cake, card, birthday sack, and balloon there for hubby.

Kerry and Shauna came later. They brought a card, too. But the balloon that they had blew away in the severe wind. It started to rain and got very dark. Lots of thunder.

 
 Cake


We all got very close to winning, but nobody had the winning cards at our table tonight.

Then we left afterwards. Kerry was kind enough to invite us to her house - Dee & John went to get ice cream. We got there before they did.

Stayed there until 7:30PM, talking and having fun. Eating cake & ice cream.

Went home afterwards. Let the dogs out.

We watched BARRY on HBO and then went to bed.

ANOTHER DESERT RIDE

SUNDAY

Got up at 6:30AM.

Made lattes. Hubby made eggs.

I picked up poo outside and gave dogs fresh, clean water.

It was too hot to sit outside for breakfast, so we ate inside.

Fed the dogs their eggs.

Hubby sat on sofa watching a couple automotive shows, we watched News from Seattle- a crane had collapsed in downtown Seattle and killed some people.

We decided to go for a quick ride in the desert with the Can-Am so left at 8:30AM. Got back by 10AM. Stopped at the vacant lot across from Todd's shop and picked up some bolts & rebar.

When we got home, we sat the Animal Control go over to the neighbor's house to talk with them about their barking dog. I wonder who called on them?

We saw Dee & John leaving for church.

Gave the dogs their Sunday baths outside. Tater really did not like it, but we calmed him down.

Hubby made shrimp snack. I drank water. Lots of water. We sat in the A/C watching American Pickers.

S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y.

SATURDAY
4-27-2019

Up at 6:30AM, I slept late because Hubby gave me a Benadryl last night. I had experienced cramps before I went to bed, so had a couple aspirin too.

I made lattes. Hubby made eggs. I made my own eggs.

We fed dogs.

Sat on patio until 7:30 and the sun was too hot. Should be cooler tomorrow.

Hubby picked up cat litter. I picked up dog poo. I put fresh, clean water in all the dog bowls.

Puppies took a nap in the courtyard shade.

Hubby ran to Todd's shop and then to a guy's place next door to mill the flagpole. He needs to get parts in St George this week for it.

Then he came back home. He had forgotten to cut the plastic for the shelf in our entryway shelving unit. So I got changed. We took the dogs with us; ran over to Todd's in the Dually. Tater did really well in the truck. He did not vomit or pee in the back seat!

I walked the dogs while they cut the plastic.

Found some bolts & rebar in the vacant property across the street.

Had lunch when we got back; sat on the patio in the shade.

Then we had to go over to Dee & John's to talk with them about babysitting the cat while they are gone.

We were there until 5:00PM when Dee wanted to go get a steak. We decided to come home and be with the dogs. I was tired and did not want to go out for food.

Came inside when it was too humid outside. Dogs came inside with us and sat on the sofas with us.

Watched BOSCH on TV until 9:30PM and then went to bed.

I worked on iTunes some of the day.

Then I vacuumed the house again and steam cleaned the tile.

I was exhausted and went outside to sit in the shade of the patio with the puppies.

Made another Perfect Kahlua & Cream!

At 2:45, I left home and went to my appointment for nails at GS Nails. Stopped by Hubby's shop, but he was not there.
High temperature of 99°

I got my nails done from 3:00 to 3:45,

Drove home.

Hubby was home by 4:30PM.

He changed clothes into shorts.

Stopped at Lee's Liquors to get Kahlua. Hubby bought a case of beer for his friend at the shop.

We drove to KFC to have dinner. His chicken tenders were raw, but he did not complain about them. He also had some gross sugary drink. It made him sick.

We shopped at Walmart. Forgot to get turkey & swiss.

Drove home. Hubby was really feeling ill.

We got home, unloaded groceries.

It was still too hot outside, so we stayed inside and brought the puppies inside, too.

HUBBY TO AUCTION IN HURRICANE, UTAH

THURSDAY
4-25-2019

Both kitties were sleeping between us this morning! Petted them while sleeping.

Up at 5AM with Google Alarm. Hubby let the dogs out. Wilson had come in our room to wake us up!

Hubby made eggs for dogs. I made lattes then went back to bed for 15 more minutes sleep.

I helped Hubby feed the dogs, then he made breakfast burritos for himself & John.

At 6AM they left for the Statewide Auto Auction scheduled at 8AM Preview, 10AM Bidding. Bankruptcy of a Metal Fabrication Shop. Hubby saw a Plasma Cutting Table that he wanted to bid upon.



I picked up dog poo. Took garbage out to garbage can. Sat down to eat my breakfast with dogs. It got too hot at 7:30AM to sit out there, so I came inside to work on my iTunes. Think I got some of it working. Missing albums from A-H. I can easily replace those. But album artwork is a Pain In The Ass.

Started dishwasher after cleaning up breakfast dishes. Hubby made a mess on the stove! Then started laundry.

Filled dog water bowls with fresh water & filled Tater's Tank of Water so he can play inside it.

Hubby said that most of the auction items went for retail price.



I had the leftover hamburger for lunch.

They stopped to pick up the screens. Then returned home by 12:30PM.

I was working on iTunes. Both of us watched TV for a while. Hubby fell asleep on the sofa.

Puppies played outside.

KR called at 5PM, hubby returned the call. She is listing her home for sale.

I decided that we need a patio set of table & chairs on the Courtyard. The next time we go to St George, we will pick up this set at Home Depot.

Patio Set for Courtyard

We went swimming at 6PM in the Pioneer Center. The Center was having a 70s/80s party, music was quite loud. We tried going in the inside pool, but it was too cold!

At 7:15, we soaked in the hot tub for a while, noticed MANY mosquitoes, so we left. Then the wind came up violently as we left.

Very windy, we brought the dogs inside and secured the outside cushions. Hubby had a hamburger for dinner and made me a turkey sandwich.

We watched BOSCH on Amazon Prime. Went to bed at 9:30PM.

WEDNESDAY & MISSING ITUNES MUSIC

WEDNESDAY
4-24-2019

Got up at 5:45AM. Started the lattes.

I put out clean water for the puppies and cleaned up dog poo.

Found out that Tater had dug up more water line behind the A/C. Have to put concrete blocks back there so he does not dig anymore.

Hubby went back to bed for 15 minutes sleep. He got up at 6AM.

Hubby made eggs for dogs. I helped him feed the dogs.

We sat on the patio. Talked about KR & her life decisions. She is going to sell her house, pay off the Jeep & motorcycle, and move to Seattle with boyfriend! All by the end of August. This sounds like a great idea. I hope her house sells fast.

Hubby left at 7:45 to go to his UTV Meeting breakfast at the Casino; then he is going to stop at Ace Hardware to pick up Finish for the L-shaped desk he has been working on at Todd's wood shop. Then he will bring the desk home.

I cleaned up breakfast dishes & started the dishwasher.

Dogs are napping in the courtyard.

I started laundry. I vacuum up litter. I vacuum bedrooms.

Then I start to work on iTunes. WHAT A PAIN THE FUCKING ASS.

First of all, I have to point out to iTunes where to find the fucking music.

I KNOW THAT I AM MISSING A DIGITAL STORAGE THAT HAD ALL MY LATEST MUSIC ON IT. I think that some kid stole it when we were moving.

So then it finally finds the Music.



However, all my ARTWORK IS MISSING. And a SHIT TON OF MUSIC IS MISSING. Since this looks like music from a long, long time ago.

So I get to re-add music that I have purchased.

Then I get to re-add ALL the ARTWORK that is MISSING because iTunes is too stupid to find it on its own.

Fuck My Life.

The Door guy came and knocked quietly on the door; he said that he had our door, but it was not painted yet. It would probably be next week before he could install it. On Wednesday because that is when they do the work.

I sat on the Patio and played with the dogs. Picked up dog poo.

Dawn came out and we talked for a while. She thanked me for watering her plant.

Hubby got home at 6PM and he grilled hamburgers.

He had a Bloody Mary to drink. I had Kahlua & Cream.

The Perfect Kahlua & Cream


We took the dogs for a walk down to the park; picked up the mail. Got the discontinued Pantene shampoo that I had ordered in the mail.

Walked home.

Hubby watched TV shows. I put away dishes & started dishwasher. Put his clothes in the laundry and started washer.

Went to bed at 10PM.

WOODWORKER'S CLUB & ST GEORGE SHOPPING

TUESDAY
4-23-2019

Hubby got up with puppies several times. By 6AM, he was up and sitting in the living room on the sofa with his iPad.

I woke up at 6AM.

Made lattes. Helped feed the dogs.

I picked up dog poo.

I sat on the patio for a while with Hubby. Ate breakfast.

Hubby had to get dressed to attend his Wood Working Club Meeting at the Pioneer Center at 8:30AM. He tried to call John, but John was not answering his phone. So I texted Dee. She texted back that they had fallen back to sleep.

I picked up cat litter. Hubby put out the garbage cans for us and Garry next door.

Hubby left at 8:30AM. I put on make up. Then I did laundry and cleaned up breakfast dishes.

Got the screen doors loaded to take to St George for repair.

We drive to St. George. It takes forever to get thru the Gorge.

Hubby is instantly hungry. So I had a craving for a smoothie. We go across town to Roxberry Juice Company. Hubby gets Banana & I get Raspberry. Quite good. Too much in 24 oz.



Hubby goes potty, then I have to use the restroom, but it is LOCKED. I have to wait several minutes before some woman comes out!

We walk next door to Panda Express. I am hesitant because I HATE Panda Express in Idaho. It is filthy and everytime we ate there, I got violently ill.



But this place is clean, fresh, nice. Great display of food. Great help. We order and eat outside; it is WONDERFUL!



Mine

Hubby's


Then we drive to get my digital storage at Glitch Busters. Say hi to JD and get our stuff.


We go across town to Lowes. Hubby is frustrated looking at soffit lighting and baseboard for the garage. He is upset that it will cost so much for the baseboard in the garage! So we buy a couple cheap $5 mulch baskets for the bock basket

Gabion


We drive all around town, trying to find sheet metal for the neighbor, but they want $$$ and nobody can cut it. We finally find a guy to cut it, but he has no sheet metal. Hubby gives up.

We drive back to Mesquite. It is late. about 3PM.

Have to stop at Smith's for groceries. Hubby goes potty. Then I have to pee. The bathrooms are disgusting there. Yuck.

Went to Walmart to pick up milk.

Drove home. Unloaded groceries. Gave dogs some chicken nuggets we purchased at Walmart.

We sat on the patio for a while.

Had leftover Panda Express for dinner.

Watched TV for a while. I went to bed at 9:40PM.

Hubby stayed up and let the dog pee in the hallway.

NEUROLOGIST IN LAS VEGAS

4-22-2019
MONDAY

Got up at 6:30AM. Felt like I had a hangover. Too much sleep.

I need to drink more water!

Pups started barking, so we let them outside.

I made lattes. Hubby made eggs.

We sat on the patio for a few minutes until the sun was too hot.

Refilled dog water, picked up dog poo. Turned on the A/C for the cats.

Hubby put on his leg braces. Then he vacuumed up cat litter.

John, doing the sub-divide on the property in Idaho called. So we did not leave until 9AM.

Drove the Dually to Las Vegas.

Went directly to California Steel Yard to pick up steel for neighbor Dave's garbage fence. There were cars & trucks parked in the street; no place to park at the business. There was a semi truck unloading steel.



Hubby did not get the sheet metal as they did not have it there. We drove on a wild goose chase to another place north of Vegas in a residential neighborhood. But there was no business there.

We had just enough time to race downtown Las Vegas to find another place for sheet metal. However, hubby was upset that they could not cut it right away. The guy also called later to say it would be $90 when it should have been $15 hubby complained.

We drove to Hubby's doctor appointment at 12:30PM. We got there early and drove around. Found a place to eat afterwards. Went to the appointment at 1PM, filled out paperwork.

Hubby had a good episode with the doctor. He said that he would be more than happy to assist him in any way with his CMT.

Recommended getting a cane for possible future falling incidents & to steady his walk.

We went to eat at Nevada Chicken Cafe. Hubby got the pulled chicken sandwich with beans. I got the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw. It was ok. Not great.



Then we drove north to DSW Shoestore where I got Vans. Not comfortable with support, but OK. I miss my Skechers.



We shopped at JoAnn's. I got lace material, had to get cut. Hubby went to look for string. I talked to a couple ladies that were in line (with a BEAUTIFUL little baby boy) that were making a bird's nest veil. Another girl in line overheard and recommended a place to purchase some accessories for her. Then I went to get my lace cut.


We got to the checkout and had to wait FOREVER because they had only 1 checkout open. Finally another guy came to checkout, I had lost my cutting paper. Oh no. He found it in the computer. We finally left and outside a woman was asking everybody outside for a cigarette! OMG. Like I would give her a cigarette. Yuck.

Somebody had parked within inches of our truck WAY out in the parking lot. Had to squeeze into the truck door.

Drove home. I was tired and did not want to shop at Costco.

Almost fell asleep on the way home. Had to stay away for Hubby.

At home, I took a hot bath. Was feeling awful.

Fell asleep on the sofa while the dogs came inside and sat with hubby. Tater kept jumping on me on the sofa. It was irritating. Then Tater peed on the floor and hubby did not notice. I had to get up later and clean it up.

We watched TV for a while. I was in a fog.

Went to bed at 9:30PM.

EASTER SUNDAY

SUNDAY
4-21-2019 

Got up at 6AM; then we made breakfast. I made lattes. Hubby made eggs.

We vacuumed the house. I started laundry.


Gave the dogs baths before it got too warm.

Tater sat down in the bath and was quite relaxed.

Wilson did not shed as much in the bath.

Tater was dry before he even went outside.

I had to blow dry Wilson just a litter; then brush him thoroughly.

We sat on the patio for most of the day.



Walked the dogs later.

Went for a brief ride over across the north side of the interstate from Polaris. We saw a cave; got out the binoculars to see it.

Hubby went over to talk with John & Dee; they wanted to go out to eat at Peggy Sue's. Hubby said that he wanted meatloaf really badly. So we arranged to meet them at 5:30 at their place.

Went to eat, but they were out of meatloaf. So both of us had chicken fried steak instead. For dessert we had pie.

John drove us back home by 8PM.

We walked the dogs again.

Went to bed at 10PM.

Sunday, April 21, 2019

SATURDAY AND BUILD A FLAGPOLE

SATURDAY
4-20-2019

Hubby let dogs out at 5AM.

Got up at 6AM. Hubby made eggs. I made lattes.

Hubby fed Tater, I gave Wilson his breakfast in the house.

We sat on patio and ate breakfast.

Hubby wanted to put the plants outside so they could get sun and not die.

I checked the Design guidelines and saw we could not have them outside on the side of the house. He had to take them back inside when he returned home. 

I drove the Dually down to the water tower. Hubby drove the Can-Am. Hubby had to talk to the neighbor across the street. He was kinda sarcastic - "What a good citizen you are!"
Jackass.

Hubby drove me back home in the Can-Am. It was already getting warm outside, but there were dark storm clouds everywhere.

Hubby worked hard on the Mesa. He had to go back to the shop to recut the rebar as they could not dig down deep because of the hard rock on the mesa. They finally got the concrete set and the bolts set inside it. 

 Guys On Mesa


I did laundry, dishes, vacuumed, cleaned up dog poo, and cat litter. I sat with the puppies on the patio.

Hubby got home around Noon.

We sat on the patio most of the day, just relaxing-playing with dogs, listening to music, and napping.

At 6PM, we took the dogs for a walk. Ran into Dave & Carmen. Wilson barked himself hoarse and started coughing. Saw Dana at the Dog Park with Gunter.

We walked around the block and Tater pooped in the street. A nice neighbor was watering his car and helped wash the poo away.

We walked home and watched a little TV. Then went to bed at 9PM as hubby was falling asleep.

HOT AGAIN TODAY

FRIDAY
4-19-2019

Already 80° at 8AM.

I was up at 6AM. Hubby had gotten up at 4AM when he thought he heard Tater. But he could not go back to bed and sat on the sofa, looking at his iPad.

We made eggs for dogs. I made lattes. We fed dogs the eggs.

Then I cleaned up breakfast dishes when it became too hot in the sun to sit on the patio.

Dogs moved to the courtyard for shade.

I picked up dog poo. Tater is pooping & peeing in the rocks!

Then I picked up cat litter.

Hubby picked up the boards from the side of the house. Hopefully, Tater has learned not to dig in the area. Hubby raked rocks up from the side of the house.

I started dishwasher & laundry. I vacuumed.

Hubby cleaned out the back of his Dually.

Hubby left at 10AM to go wash out the tank. He forgot to take the plastic to cut.

When he got back, we drove to St George in the Expedition.

We stopped at Costco - it was SO crowded for Good Friday; there were absolutely NO Parking places left. Madhouse!

Got my 5Gig Digital Storage; and we bought hankies. Forgot our list at home. Could not get frozen stuff; it would melt and we have no space in freezer at home.

Ate at Teriyaki Bowl and had to leave after a little girl running thru the restaurant hit her head and the parents (along with a friend) were DRUGGED OUT OF THEIR MINDS behind our table. Jumpy and weird acting. Ugh. They even took turns going out to the car to do drugs.

Drove to Glitch Busters. Gave my Digital Storage to JD who was there with his therapy dog. A big black poodle.

Then we drove to Lowes to pick up grout cleaner. We looked at baseboard, but need the truck to haul it.

We drove home. Had told Dave & Carmen that we would do a ride in the desert when we came back. But we sat down for a few minutes on the patio and fell asleep. Dave & Carmen came over and knocked, rang the doorbell, but we DID NOT HEAR THEM! We must have been so tired.

Woke up later and came inside. We had a snack for dinner.

Went to bed at 10PM.

I made lattes and eggs for myself. Hubby made eggs for dogs. We fed dogs.

Sat on the patio until 8AM when the sun became too warm.

Dogs sat with us and played, then they slept on the courtyard in the shade.

I picked up dog poo outside.

Hubby and Dave left at 9AM to go cut on Dave's garbage fence. They got back at Noon. Hubby made sandwich for me.
 RoadRunner

While Hubby was gone, I sat on the patio with the dogs and read a book. I saw a Road Runner running across our back yard. I actually got my phone out to take a pic!


Wilson Sleeping in the Sun


We sat on the patio. Hubby fell asleep.

Dave and Carmen had come over for a ride, but we did not hear this knock or ring the doorbell. The dogs did not bark.

We left to go for a ride in the desert at 3PM.

Went around behind dump and neighborhood. Found some new, tricky trails.

We got back, changed clothes and went for swim at 6PM.

Purchased our Slots Tournament tickets for May. 

We swam outside and met a nice guy named Brent. When I came out, he told me that hubby was still in the changing room, talking to an ex-cop that was very nice. Brent had been in the hot tub while we were swimming. He told of us of a guy name Victor from California that "claims" one of the umbrellas at the pool. LOL.

Swam until 7:30PM and then we went to the hot tubs until 7:45PM.

We had just a little snack after swimming.

Went to bed at 10PM.

WARM SPRING DAY

WEDNESDAY
4-17-2019

Got up at 5AM to pee; hubby let dogs outside.

I was up at 6AM. Made lattes. Then I took a hot bath. Lots of pain this morning.

Hubby continued to sleep until 6:30AM.

Hubby got up and made eggs for dogs.

We sat on the patio until 7:30AM and hubby had to leave for his breakfast at the Golden West Casino.

I went to get mail, but it was all junk.

We moved the file cabinets to the new area in the garage.

Then Hubby left with Dave, the neighbor.

We got an email from the HOA that we have excessive amount of decor in our front yard and it is not "desert" oriented. Odd. I thought there were rivers & fish in the desert. So we will have to take the stuff down.

Hubby got back at 2PM; I had already had lunch, so we sat outside on the patio until later.

We went swimming tonight from 6PM to 7:45PM.

Got back and watched Seinfeld and then went to bed at 10PM.

Cats were digging at carpet; then my FitBit started going weird making noises which woke us up at 2AM.

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY

TUESDAY
4-16-2019

Got up at 5AM to let puppies out, hubby came back to bed. I went potty.

Then slept until 6AM. Dogs knocking at sliding glass door.

We got up and made breakfast. Hubby made eggs; I made lattes.

I opened up the mini blinds and made the bed.

I paid bills quickly online.

Sat on the Patio and watched the wind & rain come. Went inside at 7:30AM because it was too cold.

Rain On Mountain

Came inside and ordered Aluminum Ramp for Lupe's trailer; I updated my blog.

We packed up return of vacuum for Home Depot, but could not find the receipt. Dave came over to talk before we left. 

Finally got on the road; Dee texted that they were going to St George, also for her appointment. I asked if they wanted to meet for lunch.

We got to US Bank, but Ray had turned into a lying, asshole, con-man. He was talking about checking account hacking and six-digit codes to cash the check. What a fucking idiot that we would believe that. I told hubby NEVER accept checks anymore!

Dropped off our digital storage boxes to Glitch Busters; then drove to AirGas on the other side of St George when Ray called and said that the check would be good at the bank.

Hubby fortunately cashed the check, tho he said that the teller had to read PAGES of material on the account before he cashed it. 

At least we are not out $. 

Drove back to AirGas and Ray called again. Hubby said that he could no longer work with him. Ray was pissed and hung up. Probably upset because we were not completely stupid and saw thru his lying & cheating. 

We then drove to Home Depot and shopped. By that time, we had to meet Dee & John at Chili's for lunch. It was raining heavily.




Blueberry Margarita at Chilis

OK lunch, but not great. Place was filthy. Bathrooms were awful.

Left there and went to a Metal Recyclers to pick up a water tank for $25. Wow.

Drove back thru the Gorge; again raining heavily there. 

At home, unloaded stuff. 

Cleaned up dog mess. Cleaned up cat poo.

Dave came over again to talk with hubby. 

I was exhausted and after a hot coffee, I took a 3 hour nap on the sofa. 

I got up and we watched some stupid junk on TV. We went to bed at 10:30PM.

AWNING QUOTE #2

MONDAY
4-15-2019

I got up at 5AM to potty. The stupid bird chirping outside had woke me up at 4AM.

Then I had to let the dog out for potty. Had to carry him out to the rocks.

I came back to bed. Robert jumped in the bed with us.

We got up at 6AM.

Hubby made eggs. I made lattes.

We fed dogs.

Tater had pooped all over the yard. I cleaned that up. By the time that I was ready with breakfast to sit on the patio, he decided to poop pudding poo on the patio. I had to hose that down & clean it up.

Then I picked up cat litter from the box. Vacuumed.

Hubby and I sat on the patio to eat breakfast, listened to music.

Hubby called at 8AM to verify funds on check. It was not good. No funds. He called Ray right away. Song and dance (lying) about checking account & he has the $, just have to go to bank to cash check. OMG.

I started laundry & dishwasher. Hubby started the Roomba in our bedroom/bathroom.

Then I put away the winter gloves/hats in the bottom drawer of the washer & dryer.

Hubby got a phone call from Tom in Idaho.

Then he called the bank to verify the check he got paid. It will not clear. Hubby is pissed.

Then Ray called while hubby was on the phone with the bank. Excuses, Excuses, Excuses. Sounds like a con-man.

We put the bench in the entryway. It will look good if we can find paint to match the shelving unit.

Bench & Shelf in Garage Entryway
The Awning guy did not show up at 9AM, so I called and left a message. Nicole called back and said that he had blown out a tire in the gorge. So he could show up at 11AM.

We went down to the shipping store to mail our taxes. The kid down there is not too smart. Had to have the girl help him figure out the postage.

Then we drove back home. Saw a cop pull a guy over on Hafen Lane.

At home, brought the dogs inside. Tater peed on the floor just as Tyler from Southwest Awnings pulled up. I quickly cleaned up the piss while hubby went out to greet him.

My life is full of piss and poop.

Hubby took his plywood and drove over to Todd's wood shop; they cut the wood. Then hubby went to his own shop and welded the rebar for the flag pole.

He got home about 3PM; then we went for a quick drive up on Flat Top Mesa to see the flagpole and the horses. Have to remember to bring apples for the horses next time.

Flag At Top of Flat Top Mesa

On the way home, we detoured to Flying J to get fuel in the Can-Am.

We returned home at 5PM and I quickly took a bath because I had dusty feet from walking in the dirt to open the gates.

Hubby made me a quick sandwich to eat. Then we drove over to Todd's house. Hubby got the super secret gate code.

Met Todd's wife, Kay. She was nice, but had to leave early to go play games with her friends.

Todd showed us his house, the hot tub, and pool.

We left about 6PM and came home. Very tired.

Sat on the patio until 8PM. Had to run to Walmart to get fungal ointment for me.

Came back home. Watched TV for a while. I went to bed at 10PM.

NEW GARAGE FLOOR TILE

SATURDAY
4-13-2019

Took a Benadryl last night to sleep.

Got up at 6AM. Hubby brought Rattler in the bedroom to see me. He ran away with Robert. They played zoomies.

I made lattes while hubby made eggs. We fed the dogs.

Sat on the patio until 8AM.

I picked up cat litter. Vacuumed. Cleaned up breakfast dishes; then started dishwasher. Started laundry.

Hubby cleaned out the garage so that he could put his floor tiles down.

He spilled his latte on the floor while he was working.

I helped him put the bikes out front; then I put water bottle cases in pantry.

I printed out the tax forms for Monday mailing.

Hubby had me follow him in the Dually while he drove the Can-Am down to Flying J to get the tire fixed. However, they fixed it on the spot and did not even charge him anything! Hubby tipped them $10.

Hubby stopped to talk with some guys in a motorhome and side-by-side who were heading to Sand Hollow to play on the dunes. They had hit a semi-blow out tire on the side of the road and ripped their under carriage.

So we drove back home. Hubby made me a sandwich for lunch before we started on the tiles.

Started working on the tiles in the garage. Moved out all the vehicles and put them out front.

Cars Outside


We started laying the tiles and John came over. He helped Hubby for quite a while. Then Dee came over because she said that at 1:30PM, I started butt dialing her, but my phone was in the house!


Putting Tiles Down


John Helps With Tiles

Almost Done!

Dee looked at the hammock & stand; petted all the cats & dogs; Then she and John went home for lunch.

Hammock


Hubby took the other tiles over to John, the woodworker's place, to cut the rest of the tiles along the sides of the garage.

While Hubby was gone, I put away laundry, put away dishes. I sat outside on the patio with the dogs.

Hubby returned home at 5PM


He was tired, so we put the cars in the garage, & shut the garage door and cleaned up for the night.

Hubby took a shower and changed clothes.

We sat on the patio for a while until it got cold. It started smelling like sewage at 7:30PM.

Came inside and watched The Mummy Returns. I went to bed at 10PM.

WIND & RAIN CANCELED QUICKBOOKS

FRIDAY
4-12-2019

Woke up at 5AM to hubby putting the puppies outside. Several times.

Then up at 6AM to make lattes & eggs. Fed eggs to dogs.

I picked up dog litter. No poops on patio or courtyard!

Hubby and I sat on the patio. It was raining slightly and the wind was blowing.

It finally got too cold by 8:15AM, so hubby got dressed. I put away breakfast dishes.

Hubby picked up cat litter & vacuumed.

We changed the cars around in the garage. The Expedition had been out overnight in the driveway while Hubby parked his Dually in the street.

It was lightly raining.

We put the Can Am on the North side by the tiles in the pallet; we tucked my Expedition on the South side, and Hubby put garbage in the truck so that he could take it down to the Shop.

He also opened the bench and took out the side so that he could take it to Todd's Wood shop to cut a hole into it for cat litter.

When Hubby returned home, he called to cancel Quickbooks as it is too expensive.

Then he made a quick snack. At 3PM, we drove down to get my nails done at GS Nails

Hubby waited in truck while I got my nails done.

Then we stopped at Lee's Liquors on the way home. Hubby got Cider Beer; I got frozen cocktails.

Drove home and talked to Dave, our neighbor. He was telling us about Can-Am ride to Mountains next week.

Then hubby made sandwich for me at home.

BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE

THURSDAY
4-11-2019

Up at 5AM with dogs. Hubby put them outside.

We slept until 6AM. Tater started whining, so we had to get up.

I cleaned up 2 loads of poo in the courtyard with the hose.

I picked up 6 more loads in the yard. 

Hubby made sausages for dogs. I made lattes.

We sat on the patio for a while. Nice sunny day. No wind.

Started drying clothes. Cleaned up breakfast dishes. Started dishwasher. Made bed.

The Awning Company was supposed to be here at 9AM to give us a quote, but he called and said he could not make it until 10:30AM as he was still in St George.

I unhooked the computer. Again.

We drove to The UPS Store and dropped off the computer; then we came home again.

Met with Brett, the Rep from The Awning Company. He took pics & got info. He will give us a quote in 2 days.

Then we drove down to get fuel in the Expedition at Flying J, drove to Walmart to get groceries.

Came home and unloaded groceries.

Made lunch. Sat on the patio until 3:30PM and I had to take Hubby to the Pioneer Center to take his truck & Lupe's trailer to Beaver Dam.

Hubby forgot his Jump Box, so we had to drive home.

Dee was having a melt-down and kept texting because the neighbor reported them to the HOA for having bright lights on their house.

Drove hubby back to the Pioneer Center with the Jump Box.

Then Hubby called me to meet him with $ because he had to pay Lupe for the use of the trailer.

I drove down to Sports Complex Road and gave him $. Then I turned around and came home.

Sat with the dogs outside until Hubby got home after washing his truck at the car wash in town.

Hubby got lottery tickets in Beaver Dam. Hope they are the Winning Ones!

Hubby brought Wendy's home. His Citibank card did not work, so we had to call the company. Hubby could not hear the Rep and had to keep yelling at him.

MORE HAULING & PAYING SALES TAX FOR THE FINAL TIME

WEDNESDAY
4-10-2019

Got up at 5AM. Put the dogs outside.

I made latte & breakfast for dogs. I fed dogs.

Then I cleaned breakfast dishes and sat outside with dogs. It was really cold outside; I had to put on a sweater jacket.

I came inside and paid bills; wrote a check for Neighbor's Glass & ID Sales Tax & Falcon Ridge Dental. Then I put them in envelopes.

I went down to the mailbox, got the mail from yesterday and posted the envelopes.

I came back and took the Expedition down to the Shipping Center on Hafen and dropped off the Zappos shoes for return; and had the guy fix the missing part on the computer.

Came home and hooked up computer.

Come to find out that EVERYTHING HAS BEEN WIPED FROM THE HARD DRIVE.

Which means that I cannot locate anything. Excel, One Note, Power Point, Word have all disappeared.

I cannot locate the 2018 INCOME TAXES THAT I SAVED ON THE HARD DRIVE. 

All the fonts are some weird huge size which takes me FOREVER to try to reduce which upsets me even further.

Firefox is missing, I have to load it again. Chrome is gone.

Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 is gone.

It literally took me MONTHS to load and get this stuff to the point where I could use it when we first moved down here.

My chest is feeling stiff. I can't breathe. I am having a major panic attack. Hubby won't answer his phone. He is somewhere in Vegas hauling cars.

He finally calls and I explain that EVERYTHING IS GONE. He tells me that the guy that fixed it promised not to touch anything.


And also that BITCH'S name, Denise is still on there as the User.

So I just turn off the computer for now. Nothing can be done.

Hubby returns tonight. We can take the computer back tomorrow for the guy to try to "find" all the stuff that he says is still on there... Doubtful.

I will probably have to do taxes ALL OVER AGAIN.

I cannot cope with the stress. My heart is racing. 

I get drunk. I stress eat. I yell at the dogs. Poor dogs. Not their fault.

I try to relax.

I have to wash my hair because it feels like straw.

HAULING CARS IN PAHRUMP AND SCREENS ON BEDROOM WINDOWS

TUESDAY
4-9-2019

Up at 2AM to let the puppies out to pee, then back inside again.

At 4AM, the puppies wanted to sleep outside so I let them out.

By 5AM, I was up and dressed. Made eggs for breakfast for puppies.

Then I made latte for myself. I sat on the patio and fed puppies. Watched the sun come up.

Cleaned up dog poo, cat litter, and started laundry. Put dishes away and started dishwasher.

I went down to get mail at 9AM.

The ScreenMobile guys were here promptly at 10AM and out of here by 10:30AM. They work FAST. I got a couple quotes for the other windows from them.

Hubby said that we need to put up the awnings, so I contacted a couple places to give me quotes.

I took a nap from Noon to 1PM when the UPS delivery driver woke me up while leaving a package. Dogs barked.

I sat outside with the dogs (HIGH WINDS OF 35-40MPH) when the R&L Carriers brought the Garage Tiles. He unloaded it into the garage with a hand-forklift.

I gave him $10 and a cold bottle of water.

He turned the semi around at the top of street.

Hubby called at 4PM and I reserved him another room at the Saddle West

HAULING CARS VEGAS TO PAHRUMP

monday
4-8-2019

Hubby got up with the dogs at 2AM. Then again at 5AM.

Hubby took a shower.

I got up and made breakfast for the dogs & lattes. Hubby had forgotten to pack a bag last night, so I had to remind him.

He left around 6AM; the sun was already up by that time. He had to load the trailer onto the truck and get his jump-box at the shop.

He texted me that he had left by 7AM.

I cleaned up breakfast dishes, started the dishwasher. Started laundry.

Bad little Tater had dug 3 holes I had to cover up again; then he had pooped about 6 loads on the rocks! Yippee. Not on the patio!

He had also chewed dirty rocks on his dog bed, so I had to strip the cover and wash that.

By the time I had sat down to eat breakfast, I was exhausted.

I had to put a concrete block beside the house where Tater has been chewing on it; he got some more wood out of it today.

The dogs finally settled for a nap at 8AM in the Courtyard where it is shady.

I paid online bills; set up the Health Insurance Ambetter on automatic payments. Put away laundry, and vacuumed hubby's sawdust shavings in the garage. I also cleaned up cat litter.

I took a nap at Noon to 1PM. I had to put Tater in his kennel to calm him down. Wilson was outside sleeping on his dog bed.

UPS woke me up with Vitamin C delivery.

The semi R&L Carriers brought our Garage Tiles; put the pallet in our garage. I parked the car outside.

Hubby called at 4PM and said he was staying another night to haul more cars tomorrow.

PUTTING THINGS TOGETHER

SUNDAY
4-7-2019

Up at 5AM with dogs and let them out. I spied hubby peeing off the patio! OMG. Hope the neighbors don't see!

Then back to bed until 7AM.

I made lattes, changed our sheets & washed the dirty ones. Started the Roomba vacuum in our room.

Hubby made eggs for dogs. Fed them. Wilson inside & Tater outside.

Then I had to clean up the SEVERAL LOADS OF POO that Tater had made on the Patio.

We sat on the Patio eating breakfast afterwards.

The Todd called and wanted to meet hubby at the Wood shop in town so that hubby could return his keys.

Hubby left and returned 1 hour later.

We put together my 15 Foot Hammock Stand. Put it in the backyard.

I ordered a Hammock from Hayneedle.

Found that Tater had eaten some of the side of the house. That has to be fixed :(

Hubby put together the Stand in the Entryway. We have not received the bench yet for the cat box.

 Rattler On A Sweet Spot

Rattler helped hubby put together the Stand.

 Tater Relaxing On Dog Bed

After playing hard this morning, Tater & Wilson slept for a couple hours in the shade of the Courtyard.

Dave & Carmen came by and talked FOR 2 HOURS! I was so tired and exhausted from standing up for so long. They finally left at 4PM;

Hubby finished the entryway stand. It looks good. Just need to get the bench beside it!

We sat outside on the patio; then had dinner. We watched TV inside. The dogs stayed outside, then came inside for a while. It started stinking like poo again outside at 7:30PM. Had to close the house all night because there was NO BREEZE to blow the smell away!

Went to bed at 11PM after watching The Highwaymen on Netflix with Kevin Coster (VERY much looking too cold) and Woody Harrelson.

SUN CITY GARAGE SALE

SATURDAY
4-6-2019

Got up at 5:40AM with the dogs. Hubby let the dogs out, I put on my sleep jammies and went out to sleep on the Glider. The wind was blowing gently and made me feel better. I was hot and clammy after waking up.

Sleeping With Tater & Wilson on Patio


I made lattes. Hubby made eggs. Fed dogs.

Then we sat on the patio until 7AM when I texted Dee to find out when the Garage Sale started. She said it started at 7AM.

So hubby and I loaded the stuff we wanted to sell into the truck and drove over to Kerry's. We put prices on everything and then drove around the neighborhood looking at other garage sales.

We came back and Hubby got the truck so that he could go work at the Woodshop with John. I drove over in the car to Kerry's and sat with Shauna, Dee, & Keery until 1PM.

Shauna and I went to Subway to get subs at 11PM.

The guys came back and helped us load everything into the garage. Then Hubby took John home in the truck. Dee could not get into the Expedition, so Shauna brought her home in the Van.

I drove home in the Expedition. I put it in the garage. I vacuumed & power-steamed the floors which were filthy. I found that Tater had DUG UNDER THE FENCE! OMG. He almost had a means of escape!

Then I put away laundry, Put away more laundry. Cleaned up kitchen breakfast dishes & started dishwasher.

Then I rested on the patio.

Hubby helped John unload their garage sale stuff that they had not sold into their garage.

Hubby & John went down to the shop to unloaded the pipe bench that we had purchased from Kerry; then they went to the Wood shop for a while.

They finally came home at 3PM.

We rested on the patio for the balance of the day. Both of us were exhausted.

I took a hot bath at 6PM.

Then we watched TV. I went to bed at 10PM.
