MAKE APPOINTMENTS

MONDAY
11-18-2019

Woke up at 4AM, a muscle in my right arm at the elbow was hurting. I got up and took a hot bath. Tater & Wilson woke up so Hubby had to let them outside.

Rattler & Robert came in to sit with me in the bath.

Then Tater came in to the tub and started licking everything.

Hubby started laundry and poured detergent & rinse into smaller bottles. Hubby vacuumed and cleaned up cat litter. I made the bed and picked up dog poo.

I am still exhausted.

Sat on the patio for quite a while this morning.

I took a nap from Noon to 3PM. Spilled milk on myself and the bed when I tried to drink. Had to change my shirt. My arm was hurting so I wrapped it in the heating pad and raised it above my head. Woke up in agony with my right arm.

Hubby watched The Spy on Netflix while I was sleeping.

My arm was in agony. Thought I had Phlebitis which is inflammation in the vein. Felt like it came from the site of my heart catherization radial artery access in my right arm.

We decided to go in the car to Walgreens since they texted me that my other prescription was ready.

Drove to Walgreens. Purchased a blood pressure cuff since internet advised to put a BP cuff on the inflammation. We picked up the drugs. Lots of people there at the Pharmacy. Slight problem with Insurance billing because Flagstaff Hospital had already bill the insurance for ALL the pills. Finally sorted out.

Drove to KFC for dinner.

Drove home. Ate dinner on back patio. Dogs played outside.

Hubby gave some of his chicken to dogs.

We came inside at 6PM. Put away dinner dishes. Dumped all the garbage in the house. Hubby put garbage can outside on street. He brought in my heating blanket from the camper. 

Washed camper blanky for Tater.

 Room at the Hotel #1330

Dining Room Buffet with Singer

WEDNESDAY
NOVEMBER 13 2019
GRAND CANYON TRAIN TRIP
GO TO HOSPITAL IN FLAGSTAFF 

Ate breakfast buffet at hotel. Pancakes, Eggs, Sausage.

Walked over to the Kennel. Hubby kept arguing with me how it was a "MILE AWAY" when it was next door! Gave dogs breakfast bake. Could not warm them up as we had not access to electricity.


Latte

Hubby got a latte at the gift shop.

I stopped in the gift shop to potty. Had explosive diarrhea. Probably from the buffet.

Western Shoot Out
Shoot-Out at the Western town setting. A long regular train came thru and we had to wait for about 10 minutes for it to pass.

Got on the train, instead of getting on the train car that was stated on our coupon, we had to get on the "Chief".

Train Ride

Train ride to Grand Canyon. Strolling Banjo player. Drinks. Snacks. 40MPH. Very calming.

 Drinks on Train
 Train at Curve
 Yaki Point

Overlooking Grand Canyon

Jim our tour guide at the Grand Canyon on the "Grand Tour Bus". Very nice older gentleman. Showed us lots of spots to take great pictures.


Yaki Point & Yavapai Point we stopped at for View points. At the last view point, we had to wait for some woman to find her husband.

Maswik Lodge to eat lunch. I got chest pains & could not breathe. Burning pain.

2 hour travel by ambulance to Flagstaff Hospital Emergency Department. Jim, the Paramedic.

6 needle sticks in left hand, 5 in the right. Had to give me a shot to reduce heart arrhythmia. Hurt my left shoulder muscle.

Emergency Department were a bunch of D Students. Kept repeatedly asking same questions over, and over, and over. Nurses kept trying to stick me in the arm for an IV. Finally had a Cardiac nurse come with ultrasound to find a vein in my right arm.


Checked into Cardiac Unit after 1 hour.

Jesse & Jacob nurses

Benedict (french older nurse) & Jake nurses

Repeated other nurses come in to take my vitals. BP, Stick my fingers for blood sugar level, check temperature, check heart beat.

Greg was upset that he needed to get truck, so they had the hospital Care Coordinator give him a voucher to take a Lyft ride to Williams to pick up the truck. He was gone for about 3 hours.

I was in a lot of chest pain until Jesse finally gave me Morphine and I woke up about 2 hours later with no pain!

Bed was uncomfortably hard, bumps, and then it was "massaging" to prevent bed sores. Which upset me because I would be almost asleep and the bed would "move" and wake me up.

Hubby got back about 9PM.

Rough nite.


THURSDAY
NOVEMBER 14 2019
STILL IN HOSPITAL IN FLAGSTAFF

I was scheduled for surgery in the Catherization Lab to see if they could see if my arteries are blocked. Dr Winkler was supposed to do the surgery.

Benedict gave me pills to calm me down for surgery.

They sent in ANOTHER nurse to ultrasound my LEFT arm for an IV. So she was successful. I told her she could only try ONCE.

Once we got to the Cath Lab, the nurse said they did not request a second IV. FUCKING ASSHOLES. They also asked if I had been shaved on my groin. NO. OMG. These people are so fucking incompetent.

Dr kept twisting my arm to try getting in thru my right wrist. But that did not work. He was a jack ass, did not warn me that he was sticking that shit into me. Finally went thru my groin and it HURT SO BAD.

I woke up on the way back to the room. Dr Winkler talked to Hubby after surgery. Said they could not place stents as the blockage was at a junction. I would need to have Open Heart Surgery. OMG.

Back to the room. Repeated testing. I can finally eat. I order 2 teas and peanut butter & jelly sandwich.

Finally get the food and it tastes so good. I barely have strength to even eat 1/2 of the sandwich!


They move a new roommate Next door neighbor in bed (I LOVE to smoke!) Linda and her husband who talked like Sam Elliott, very rough. Likes to listen loudly to her TV even though we were provided with headphones. She is in for a possible stroke. She is very much an idiot in the way she talks and repeats everything 3 times. Her husband leaves before night and drives back home.

I finally call the Nurse at 11PM to tell her to have the neighbor put on headphones.


No food or water. Repeated blood draws for testing all night long.


FRIDAY
NOVEMBER 15 2019
LEAVE HOSPITAL IN FLAGSTAFF PICK UP DOGS
OVERNIGHT STAY AT RV PARK IN KINGMAN, AZ

After more testing, blood draws, we finally talked to Dr's assistant - Mackenzie (I talk fast and might be on crack because I am so skinny) nice girl, tho.

Told her we were NOT going to do the surgery so far from home. Wanted to leave hospital and have surgery in Vegas. She processed discharge.

Had to wait for MEDS. Pharmacist finally came about 1 hour later and did not have the whole prescription for one of them (they have a problem with the supplier?)

I get dressed and wait for the nurses to finally take out the IVs in my arm. Benedict finally unhooks me from everything.

We left at Noon from the hospital. I was wheeled to the door in a wheelchair. Hubby went to get the truck. I got inside.

I opened a can of coke and it exploded. Hubby had to help me clean it up. It got on my sleeve and on the side of the truck.

We drove to Williams to pick up the puppies. Dogs had chewed their bed up and chewed up Wilson's harness.

Hubby tried to walk the dogs but we only had a collar for Wilson. Of course, he got out of it and ran across the road to a person's house. Then back across the street.

We finally caught him by opening the truck door and calling for him. Damn little bastard dog!

Got to Kingman and Hubby was hungry. He stopped at 5 Guys to get burgers. I waited with the dogs in the truck. Watched girls from McDonalds next door run food out to cars.

Both of us were so exhausted and decided to find someplace in Kingman to stay at an RV place. Drove to Golden Valley RV Park Agua Fria Drive; north of town - it was only $20. We had power, but no water. Had to park at the side as they were full. But Hubby walked dogs. They ran after bunnies.

RV Park Office


Hubby took a shower. I went to bed. Nice and comfortable.

I got back up when he got back. We ate our dinner that he had picked up from 5 Guys in Kingman.

Then we went to bed all of us were exhausted. Dogs were happy to be back with Mommy & Daddy.




SATURDAY
NOVEMBER 16 2019
DRIVE BACK TO MESQUITE

Got up at 7AM and I made lattes. Hubby took the dogs out for potty. I warmed up the breakfast bake so he could feed the dogs.

We got on the road, stopped outside Boulder City at a walking area and Hubby walked dogs. We drove back to Mesquite.

 Walking Dogs

It was a nice day. Back home by Noon. Hubby unloaded everything. Let the dogs out to potty. I took a nap in bed for several hours.

Hubby vacuumed and cleaned up cat litter, started laundry. Brought food from camper inside, brought clothes from camper inside.

I kept sleeping all day.

Went to bed at 9PM. Both of us were exhausted again.

DOG TRAINING/INSTALL NEW FLOORING IN CAMPER

MONDAY
11-11-2019

Got up at 6AM. I had not slept well last night. Hubby got up at 5AM to pee; dogs were pushing on us.

I went back to sleep. Hubby got up and made eggs for dogs.

I got up, changed sheets on bed. Made the bed.

Made lattes.

We sat on the sofa and had breakfast while watching Spokane & Las Vegas News.

I picked up dog poo.

Then I soaked my feet in hot water because they were dry and hurting.

Hubby vacuumed and bagged cat litter.

Then Hubby went to the camper and started pulling out all the vinyl so that he could put down the new flooring.

I helped break down boxes in the garage and rearrange the garage so we had more space out there. It is getting crowded. Hoarders.

Hubby had to research online Youtube videos how to take out the RV toilet.

I ordered Lancome perfume. Plus freebies. 

I put away laundry. Ordered a cover for the new Yamaha Generator that we purchased at Costco as it did not come with a cover. Cheapskates.

I am exhausted already and had to take some Iron tablets.

Dog Training Lady came at 10:30AM.

We took the dogs outside and walked them on Leads, teaching them to Heel and sit when he stopped. Then we came inside and practice "Come" while each of us were at an end of the house. Then we whistled for the dogs to come while we were hiding in rooms at the opposite ends of the house.

Dog trainer lady forgot her leash.

Hubby and I had lunch. Dogs napped. I was exhausted.

UPS came. Delivered my shoes from Zappos which will have to go back because they are Chinese too small. Somehow shoe sizes have morphed down. I can't even get my foot into a size 8W! I used to be a 7.5 Narrow. OMG. No consistency anymore.

Hubby worked on new flooring in Camper. I cleaned the truck from 1PM to 3:30PM. It shines inside. I rearranged all his tools that were stuck in the pocket of his door to the console so they won't clang together.

Neighbor Dave came over to talk with Hubby while he was working.

I went inside and sat with the dogs as they were still napping. At 4:45PM, I went outside and told Hubby that we have to leave in a few minutes for my nail appointment.

Hubby finished up and then came inside. He had a snack and then we went to my nail appointment. Got my nails done in record time 5:30PM-6:00PM.

Hubby drove down to the shop and picked up tools while I was getting nails done. Then he came back to pick me up. I paid and we left.

Drove back home. Had dinner. Hubby made me a croissant turkey sandwich.

Then he went outside and finished the flooring. I was exhausted and took a nap on the sofa.

Hubby was done by 8PM. I went out to look at it. Looks very nice. Just trim to do now. And the bathroom floor. Hubby did not want to take the toilet out before we left in case there was something wrong.

 New Flooring Looks Great

I went to bed early. Hubby came to bed at 10:30PM.

Went to Lee's Liquors. Saw neighbor Garry there. We picked up Vanilla Vodka, Bailey's, Kahlua, Beer, and Holiday Eggnog in 2 different brands.


Drove to Dollar Tree and got Awesome-O for cleaning, candy, bath salts, and Apple cider.

 
At home, we unloaded groceries.

Hubby cleaned the SXS. I put away groceries. I am exhausted. I really do not want to go on the SXS trip at 3PM. Maybe I will recover in 3 hours.

Watched Cold Case on ROKU channel for a while.

I made Breakfast Egg Bake and put it in the Fridge to soak so that I can bake it tomorrow morning.



Hubby made weiner roasters from metal hangers.

Measured Tater's body for a dog vest. He shivers in the cold. He is a Desert Dog! His neck is 18.5", Back from the neck is 22", and Chest is 31". Big dog.

LAZY DAY

SATURDAY
11-9-2019

Initially woke up at 4:50AM. Went back to sleep after talking with Hubby about how early it is and how he wanted to "sleep in"!

Got up at 6AM. I woke up with severe cramps - went to take a hot bath. Told Hubby to attend the dogs. I had already let Wilson outside. Hubby came in the bathroom looking for Wilson. Told him that I had already put him OUTSIDE!

Could not take a long bath as the door was shut so Robert came to dig under the door and cry. Then the Google Assistant refused to play the Jazz music that I wanted. It was so frustrating while being in pain!

Got out of the bath. I made the master bed.

Hubby made eggs for dogs. I made lattes.

We sat on the patio and fed the dogs then ate breakfast. I read news to Hubby from my iPhone. Hubby shut his eyes and tried to nap. Lots of people walking past our back yard on the sidewalk & street.

Then the Roomba started up so I got up and cleaned up breakfast dishes. Started dishwasher. Started laundry. Hubby vacuumed. Dana called and wanted Hubby to come help him this afternoon with a Jeep.

I help Hubby put a couple samples of the flooring we purchased inside the camper to see if the color would work. It kinda clashes with the wood laminate cupboards but not bad. It will be OK.

Hubby cut the insulation to cover the window at the head of the bed. It leaks out a lot of cold air when we were in adverse weather, so I wanted something there as insulation. The new campers have eliminated that window at front altogether. Probably figured out that it was not needed.

We put the new Sweetnight Bed-In-A-Box inside the camper. Hubby had a time getting it out of the plastic cover.

Hubby made some lunch snacks at 11:30AM and sat on the sofa to watch automotive TV shows.

I went to get mail. KR sent a postcard.

Sent an email to cancel Delta Dental on their website. Also typed up a letter to cancel insurance.

Watched Cold Case S1 E1 on ROKU Channel.

Then had to research info on Tam's Travelling Toilets for invoice.

Walked the dogs at dark.

Got up at 5:45AM. Had a difficult night. Potty 3 times in the night; chest paint near breastbone making it difficult to breathe. Nightmares.

I made the bed and curled my hair. Wore my "Fall" sweatshirt that I ordered from Zulily.

Hubby made eggs for dogs & fed them. I made lattes.

I watered Dwarf Bottlebrush and new tree out front.

Stupid California neighbors left their front lights on the house on ALL NIGHT LONG. I wish they would leave.

I drive Hubby down to the Shop so that he can meet Lupe. Lupe is driving to SEMA. Lupe had a really colorful shirt on like Hubby's Hawaiian shirt. They looked like twins! Lupe seemed really happy to attend SEMA.

I drive over to Starbucks and get their special Holiday Season Latte - Caramel Bruelee. Then I found 3 new cups and purchase them; 1 silver, 1 red, then a turkey Panini. I go back inside to get the Holiday cup. Yippee for me.

I drive home. Unload everything. Let the dogs outside to potty. Tater barks at some little dogs walking by with a gentleman that asks what kind of dog Wilson is, as I explain - Tater barks. I have to put him inside.

Take my meds. Vacuum. Start laundry.

Did laundry.

Sat with the puppies outside. Next door neighbor is SO IRRITATING. AND RUDE. He screamed out "FUCK" when I was outside picking up dog poo. They are fucking weird. Wish they would leave.

Could not nap even tho I was exhausted.

Watched HOUSE and Endeavour.

Kerry started chatting with me about the autoimmune diseases.

Hubby got home at 7:30PM. He rang the front door.

Hubby had a snack then sat on the sofa and watched TV to wind down. Stupid neighbors had their lights on again so I went to bed and watched TV on my iPhone.

Hubby came to bed at 10PM.

HUBBY TO SEMA AGAIN

THURSDAY
11-7-2019

Got up at 6:30AM. Was dizzy while getting out of bed.

Made the bed and took a shower. Washed my hair.

In the kitchen, I made lattes while Hubby was warming up the last of the egg bake casserole for the dogs. We ate breakfast on the counter. Then we watched Spokane News.

Hubby texted Mike from Transamerica to see if he wanted to meet up today.

I started laundry and started the dishwasher after putting away breakfast dishes.

Hubby cleaned up kitty litter. I picked up dog poo.

Then I made lunch. turkey & swiss on a croissant with a side of cottage cheese.

Took my other Prednisone.

Updated calendar for fridge.

UPS delivered Hubby's fuel additive.

I put away clean laundry.

Sat outside on the patio with the dogs.

Neighbors are back and they are rude. Leave lights in their bathroom and laundry room on all night long, but don't pull down the shades. Freaks. They are "supposed" to stay thru Thanksgiving. I wish they would leave and never come back. WHY are they here?

Neighbor on the other side leaves her HUGE bathroom light on all night long. WHY?

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY LIGHTS HERE? ARE OLD PEOPLE AFRAID OF THE DARK? WTF?

Hubby called me at 7PM that he was driving home. He had dropped Mike off at the airport at 5PM.

Wilson sat outside on the patio for quite a while. Tater had to potty so I took a picture of Wilson on the chair.

Wilson on Patio
What a nutty dog!

Hubby home at 8:30PM. Puppies were overjoyed to see him. He had a snack and sat on the sofa watching TV with me.

I had him change out the mini blind on the side of the sofa because THE NEIGHBORS ARE LEAVING ALL THEIR LIGHTS ON IN THE LAUNDRYROOM AND BATHROOM. OMG. What fucking nimrods. They REFUSE to pull down the blinds.

Then I went to bed at 9:30PM because I was getting upset with the lights on. I watched HOUSE on my cell phone in the bed.

Hubby watched "SEMA Live" so he could see where to go tomorrow. He came to bed at 11PM.

ST GEORGE & BUNCO

WEDNESDAY
11-6-2019

Up at 6AM. Made the bed.

Made lattes. Hubby let the dogs outside and then brought them inside again. He warmed up the egg bake for the dogs.

I took dog poo out to the garbage can. Then I re-filled their water on the patio.

We sat on the sofa and watched Spokane & Las Vegas morning news.

Hubby vacuumed.

I put away dirty breakfast dishes in the dishwasher.

We loaded the dogs into the Expedition and then drove to the Pioneer Center to pick up Hubby's truck with the camper on it and return it to our home.

Then Hubby drove down to the UPS Store and return mailed my shoes that I had ordered that were WAY TOO SMALL. He got a receipt.

We then drove to Walgreens to pick up my prescriptions (FREE of charge!) Prednisone and XXX
Tater waited in the back, watching the pharmacist, but also, no dog treats were forthcoming!


 Tater Waiting For Cookie At Walgreens Drive-Thru
Tater Sad = No Cookie

We drove towards St George, but had to pull over at the Beaver Exit because Tater decided to chew thru all the water bottles in the back of the car! 

Continued on thru the Gorge. Went to Lowe's and went inside to shop. Got insulation, flooring for the RV. Tater said "hello" to a couple dogs. Hubby found a linoleum knife and I went to look at Xmas decor with Wilson in the shopping cart.

We found Hubby and Tater again in Electric; then checked out. The cashier had cookies! Tater was so happy.

Parked at Jamba Juice to get drinks but they wanted $6 for them. TOO expensive. OMG. 
 
We loaded everything in the Expedition and drove to Costco. Left the dogs in the car with the safety windows rolled down so they could get air. Left water in the car. 

Purchased a new generator for the RV; down comforter King size for our bed at home. Paid and left. Hubby had me go get Strawberry smoothies in line at Costco. They were too sweet. 
 
Then we drove on the other side of town to Panda Express to eat. We walked the dogs and let them pee. Gave dogs water. 

 
Hubby went potty, then I went inside to check what to order. I looked at the food with some rude me cutting in front of me. Hubby ordered for me. He brought the food out to where I was waiting with the dogs. We ate, gave the dogs some more water. My fortune cookie read - You will live a Long, Prosperous Life! LOL.

We took our mini-blinds to the Blindman store, but they do not re-string. We will have to find someplace else to repair them. 

Drove back to Mesquite, but we were too late to attend the Disaster Preparedness Class that we signed up for at the Pioneer Center.

Stopped at Walmart, Hubby ran inside to get milk. He brought chicken tenders out for the dogs.

At home, unloaded everything. I was exhausted. Made latte for myself. Took painkillers. 

Hubby fed the chicken tenders to the dogs.
 
Hubby sat on the sofa and dozed. 

Woke up at 4PM when my phone rang. 

Finally, Melissa called from Horizon Credit Union to advise she had repaired our Credit card situation. The "glitch" had occurred after a credit went thru yesterday and they did not record our payment and ended up "freezing" our credit cards. It was all their fault. 

We got ready at 4PM to attend Bunco. I changed clothes. I was really exhausted. 

Stopped to say "Hi" to Dee & John as they had just driven into their driveway. 

We went to Bunco -Shauna & Kerry were there. Kerry looked tired. Hubby had to run home and get our shrimp for the appetizers; Kerry & Shauna remarked that I looked bad; I told them that I had a diagnosis of Lupus-an autoimmune disease. Kerry suffers from autoimmune also. 

So we talked until Hubby got back. Signed up for the Bunco & paid. 

We played. Kerry did really good. She was tired from moving table to table. We had snacks at midpoint about 6:30PM. At the end, Hubby "won" the most rounds. He got $26. 

Bunco


We left. Shauna and Kerry were happy they had come.

Drove home and were exhausted. Watched The Departed with Leo DiCaprio. 

I went to bed at 10PM.

HUBBY TO SEMA

SEMA!
TUESDAY
11-5-2019

Up at 6AM. Actually, I thought Hubby was late because I forgot to re-set my clock by the bed. Got up and made lattes. Made the bed.

Hubby took a shower and dressed nicely in heavy work boots, jeans, and his Hawaiian shirt.

He took out the garbage, then I did the kitty litter, picked up dog poo.

Warmed up dog breakfast bake & some for Hubby. He ate his & drank his latte. He got his paperwork & stuff ready for SEMA.

Then Dana came over at 6:56AM to pick him up.



I waved them off.

I did vacuuming. Started laundry, put away breakfast dishes.

Roomba started up in the master bedroom.

I am so DAMNED tired. Everything seems so futile. I am so unhappy. I am exhausted at 8AM.

Waiting for a phone call back from the stupid nurse at the Doctor's office about my prescriptions.

I paid off credit cards online.

Ordered a Christmas quilt from Overstock.com

Went to get my shoes from ASOS that I ordered that were delivered to the mailbox yesterday. I ran into Stan in his backyard and talked to him. He is doing one last concert in January at the Mesquite Theater.

The shoes were WAY TOO SMALL. I have to send them back. They were not as pictured at all. Very disappointed.

Brent with UPS delivered our Bed-In-A-Box; I had him put it in the garage.

Vasu came at 11AM and washed the windows. I think we will not have him clean them anymore. He has changed the way he washed the windows and his brush is scraping the windows, the windows are not getting clean anymore and he leaves the windows WET which forms stains. He announced that he did not have time to do inside and was only going to do "outside". Then he was here about 15 minutes!

The Appliance Repair guy got here at 11:30PM just as Vasu was leaving. The guy took a picture, got the code number and said that he would order the part. He would be back in 2-3 days.





TATER ON HIS CHAIR

I was not feeling very well all day. Could not nap. Alternated between extreme cold and sweating. Flushed. Dizzy. Nauseated.

I got up at 5PM and went outside to get mail. Mike and Barb had just returned from CA, so I went over to say hello to them and apologize again for the dogs barking when they were last here.

There was no mail.

Hubby texted and the shuttle they were on got lost. It was about 45 minutes they rode the shuttle. Hubby finally got home at 8:30PM.

Dogs were really happy to see Daddy home.

Talked for a while. Then went to bed at 9:30PM. Hubby had walked a lot and was very tired. He had taken 3 Tramadols, so he was pretty much sleepy.

Monday, November 04, 2019

NOTHING SCHEDULED

MONDAY

I could not sleep with the dogs pushing me and forcing me out of the bed. Both of them were so HOT and I was sweating. So I got up and went in the front bedroom to sleep.

The cats scratched at the closed door, and I got up to let them in to sleep with me; but both of them scratched on the carpet, tried to open the closet door, and walked on top of me. I was not getting any sleep, so I had to get up and get the water spray bottle to hit them with it when they scratched at the door I closed again. 3 times I had to spray them before they got a clue.

Difficult to sleep last night. So very cold in that room and everything was hurting on me. I seriously thought about getting up and killing myself. It was that bad.

I need to call the Doctor's office today and find out what they did with my prescription

I took a hot bath at 5:45AM. Heard Hubby in the kitchen and the dogs came to find me in the bedroom.

Then I made the bed and made lattes in the Keurig.

Hubby warmed up egg bake again.

I had egg bag and 1 pancake. We sat and watched Spokane & Las Vegas news on TV.

Then we cleaned up breakfast dishes.

I picked up dog poo. Hubby got the cat litter. He raked the rock up on the side of the house and took out the litter to the garbage can.

I updated our calendar; called the Doctor's nurse looking for my non-existent prescription - left a message; put laundry in washing machine.

Hubby vacuumed.

Hubby called and ordered Coconut Cream Pie & Pumpkin Pie from Veyo's Pies for delivery on Nov 26.

He left at 10:30AM to go down to the shop to work on backhoe.

I put clean dishes away. Put away clean clothes.

Watched Endeavour on TV.

Dogs napped outside in the sunshine.

Hubby got home at 2PM. He changed clothes and had a quick sandwich.

Put dogs in the kennel.

We went down to the Pioneer Center in the SXS; Hubby had cleaned it & detailed it inside the other day.

Played Bocce Ball for 1 hour. I own - 13 to 5.


Then we drove home and made Pumpkin Fudge. Hubby stirred.

 Pumpkin Fudge

I threw in another load of clothes into the laundry which were from our dusty ride the other day that we had forgotten were still out in the garage.

I cleaned up the Bocce Balls because they were very dusty & dirty from rolling on the dirty court.

Then I cleaned up the dirty, dusty stuff that was in the glove compartment of the SXS.

Hubby watched Automotive shows.

I sat outside and had Hubby come out to light the fire pit. He finally came outside and sat with me. We stayed out until 7:30PM when it got too cold and the dogs barked at a couple walking past.

*As a side note, I am so damned depressed all the time with this illness. I believe that this has been undiagnosed for years. These are the same symptoms I have had to fight for quite a while now, they have just magnified in the past few months.

The overwhelming feeling of sadness and misery with this pain that I am experiencing and can't even describe. Pain. All over. All the time. It depressed me that I can't touch my Hubby. Other people touching me is just excruiating. I am a hugger. Always have been. It is awful now.

And the dizziness over anything. I can't stand up, bend over, look up. I am dizzy and nauseated all the time.

Nothing makes me happy anymore and I am afraid that I will never feel a smidgen of happiness again. Just nothing.

I am not getting enough sleep at night with this damn disease and Daylight Savings Time just pisses me the fuck off because it is so useless.

I need to take a hot bath for the pain, but I really would just like to get into bed and sleep. Real sleep.

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME ENDS - FALL BACK/DAVE 2.0 & JASON VISIT

NOVEMBER 3 2019
SUNDAY

So we were supposed to get an extra hour of sleep, but Hubby woke me up at 5:30AM; when he thought it was 6:30AM.

We turned all the clocks back.

I made lattes. Made the bed.

Hubby warmed up egg bake and fed the dogs. I ate mine with my coffee.

We watched Spokane News in the Morning & Adam Ruins Everything for 1 hour to wake up.

Then I started laundry, Hubby did cat litter, I took garbage & dog poo out to the dumpster.

I put away dirty dishes in the dishwasher.

By this time it was almost 9AM.

We put the dogs in their kennel and drove to Beaver Dam in the SXS.

Trip GPS
Trail Beside Interstate I15

Stopped to get fuel at Flying J. Went inside and bought Krispy Kreme donuts.

Picked up lottery tickets. Saw that Beaver Dam Store had their Xmas decor outside. Lighted trees, a lighted angel, lighted deer.

Did not go inside the bar as some woman was smoking right out front.

Drove back to Mesquite.

Hubby dropped me off and I took a shower. Washed clothes from the ride.

Hubby took the SXS down to Walmart to wash it. He detailed the inside.

I stayed home with the dogs and watched Endeavour. I ordered light bulb for the Camper closet, ordered shampoo & conditioner.

Hubby came back and he watched TV until Dave & Jason got here at 3PM. They stayed until 5:45PM and then left. They did not want to go to dinner.

After they left, Hubby made spaghetti & meatballs & garlic bread for dinner.

I checked Paypal for Rental payment. It was late again. He also did not pay the full amount. So Hubby had to text him and tell him to pay $26 more. What an ass. He just plays mind games.

I went to bed at 10PM after we watched a couple episodes of Adam Ruins Everything.

PARADE

SATURDAY
11-2-2019

Got up at 6:30AM. I turned on the oven and took out the Egg Bake mixture that had in the fridge overnight; then I put it in pans and popped it in the oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

The inspector guy walked thru next door with the dogs out and Tater only gave one little bark!

I made lattes.

Hubby got up and we both took a shower together!

Took off the blankets & sheets on the bed. I started laundry after getting out of my shower. Then I dried my hair.

I took the egg bake out of the oven and let it cool. Hubby cut it up and fed the dogs. Then he dished up some for us and we sat out on the back patio to eat breakfast. Hubby had to listen to Earth, Wind, and Fire today.



Hubby went out to the sideyard and fixed the watering system that the dogs had dug up. He also filled in the dirt that they had dug up on the side yard.

We went down to the Veterans Day Parade in Mesquite at 10AM. Found a really great parking place on South Yucca Street. We parked at an angle on the street next to the intersection.


 VETERANS DAY PARADE IN MESQUITE, NV

After the parade, we then drove to Walgreens to see if the Doctor had called in my prescriptions there. He had not. The nice pharmacists registered all my info into the computer. Which SHOULD HAVE HAD my info if it was transferred from Mesquite Pharmacy that closed recently.

We went to the Hangar Party at 11AM. $5 Donation to get in; included food, music.

HANGAR PARTY


Lunch At Hangar Party

Walked around and looked at the various hangars at the Airport.

Had to wait for food at Hangar Party. They had hotdogs, potato salad, beans, water, and chips.

Music was good. We stood for the Showing of Colors, and National Anthem, and the Pledge of Allegiance.

Watched Skydivers come out of the sky. It was fun watching them.

After the Hangar Party, we drove to Walmart to see if they had my prescription there. Hubby drove thru instead of walking inside. They did not have any prescription. So the Doctor did not call anything in to any pharmacy in town!




We went inside the Mattress Store to see if they had camper size mattresses. They do not stock them. Have to measure our size mattress in the Camper.


Came home. I put away laundry and put more in the dryer.

Hubby brushed the car clean. LOL.

I put more clean clothes away. Put dishes away.

Then we drove down in the Expedition to measure the camper mattress. It is a full queen size mattress. Drove down to Mattress Store again and he attempted to sell us a NECTAR with 365 return guarantee for $699. Kinda expensive. We will research online.

We went to shop at Walmart. Needed Laundry Rinse, Milk, and Foil. So we bought some other stuff. Turkey, Swiss, Mini Croissants.

Returned home and gave dogs chicken tenders. Unloaded groceries.

Researched NECTAR online. LOTS OF BAD REVIEWS. Not buying there!

Went to Amazon and compared beds with Nectar bed; purchased a Sweetnight mattress. It appears the same.





It should be delivered by Tuesday; I researched online for the Nectar and they had lots of BB reviews about shipping delays, refusal to honor the 365 return; lots of damaged beds delivered.

We watched TV for a while; then walked the dogs at 9PM.

I got massive cramps before we left for the dog walk. It was awful.

Took a hot bath when we returned. Still had to take aspirin.

Went to bed at 10PM.
