PUNK HOMO ERECTUS @ DAFONT.COM

Up at 7:30AM. I had taken several Benadryl to help the rash on my back. It seems better and not so itchy. 

I dressed and had to sit for a while. I was still exhausted. 

I made a hot cinnamon/honey latte for Hubby; I made hot tea for myself.

Hubby had already fed the dogs breakfast and let them out afterwards. 

Dogs took an after-breakfast nap. 

Sage was coming out of her room. She was on the kitchen counter, in the cat box, and on the table in the living room!

I did bookwork. Printed out well house design for the guy that wants to build it on the property.

Hubby called and talked with Frank to fix our Verizon billing. He gave us the final payment amount and I paid it online via a portal he sent us. 

Thank Goodness we are out of that company.

Hubby had to run to the shop so a guy could pick up his UTV. He came back 2 hours later. 

Hubby warmed up turkey bacon in the air fryer for me. 

I am so tired. I think I will take a nap. I took a nap from 1PM to 3PM. 

Hubby watched YouTube videos and ordered parts on Amazon.

I took the dogs into the shower, Hubby put the heater on in the bathroom, got the bath mats & towels out. Tater came in first to get cleaned. I washed him with the dog wash mitts. Then he left, Hubby dried him off. Riley came in as she had been hiding in the bedroom. Hubby had to get her I washed her and double soaped her. She was dirty. I brushed her hair out to get the matting out of it. Then I rinsed her and Hubby dried her off. I washed down while Hubby took the dogs outside for play & zoomies after bath.

WET RILEY

Then I got dressed and put cream on my feet. Put some socks on. Then I took Riley outside to blow-dry her. She was not happy about that, but she was SO soft afterwards. 

We watched TV - YouTube videos. Hubby made onions and cheese again in the oven.

I remember Sage coming to sleep between my legs in the middle of the night. Then she walked up to my shoulder, but jumped down.

Riley slept at the end of the bed with Tater. I kept having to cover Tater up. He was cold. He kept trying to get closer to me.

Up at 7AM. The Benadryl really made me sleep.

Then we took the dogs for a walk at the Info Center. The same people are squatting in their camper for the last 2 weeks. 

We drove over to The Thai House Restaurant and ate there. It smelled like sewage, but they put us in the back huge booth. 

The owner and waitress were very kind. Good food.

STIR FRY SHRIMP & JASMINE RICE FOR HUBBY

We paid and left. Two drunk people were coming out of the restaurant in front of us and kept weaving to their car, they were parked next to the truck. Lady observed our camper and Hubby said "it's our DOGS camper". She laughed.

We drove home. On the way home, the moon looked like a sliver. I took a (bad) picture of it. Too many lights around this damn town.

JANUARY 28 2025

REDEMPTION LIGHT @ DAFONT.COM

Up at 5AM, I went potty in the front bathroom then slept on the sofa. Sage was sleeping on the sofa above me when I woke up at 6AM. I heard Tater bark to go outside. Hubby was already outside with Riley.

They went back to bed and Hubby was reading his iPad in bed with the dogs. Tater was chewing on his blanket. I crawled into bed and tried to warm up. 

Riley started playing and licking my face & head. 

I got up and dressed. Went to the kitchen to make a hot cinnamon/honey latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself. Hubby warmed up turkey bacon for me in the air-fryer. 

Hubby left for work at 8:45AM.

I put clothes in washer to wash. Then I put them in the dryer. Afterwards, I put them away.

I cleaned up the kitchen and started the dishwasher. Put away clean dishes. 

I walked down to get mail, but there was nothing there but junk mail.

I called Hubby at 1PM to remind him about appointment in St George. He drove home.

I had the dogs all ready to go. Riley's collar was on. Tater's collar was still in the FMF. 

We drove to St George; we got off on Bluff Street from I-15 and Hubby missed the turn for the St George Med Spa. He had to drive around the block and return. 

I checked in and texted Hubby that I would be about 1 hour. 

Hubby took the dogs to the park for a walk. Riley pooped. Hubby said that it was a perfect poo.

I talked with Sam and she did my Laser treatment. It did NOT HURT. I was surprised. 

Then I paid, went potty, and left. Hubby picked me up. 

We drove the FMF to drop off donations at Deseret Industries. Two nice gentlemen petted Riley & Tater. James & Scott both gave us receipts. They were very nice.

Then we drove to Costco and parked in the handicapped space. Left dogs in car. 

We shopped. Forgot Tuna and Cashews. We will get them next time. We did buy some chicken meatballs that looked really good. Picked up Clorox Wipes. Looked at some faucets & sinks in the Home aisle. We also bought paper towels, tortillas, a Llama dog toy for Riley, and some muffins. 

Used our bonus $57.74 to pay. Our total was only $40.99

Loaded groceries in car. Drove to Arby's for lunch. I was starving and smelling all the good food smells.

We waited in the parking lot while Hubby went inside to order for us & Raven's family. We had promised to pick up sandwiches for them when we came to St George. 

Some meth freak woman wearing sunglasses was smoking outside the door and rubbed her stupid cigarette against the brick to put it out. Hubby said she stank when she was inside.

Hubby got a phone call as we were getting off the Interstate 15, he drove towards Raven's home.

I dropped off the Arby's Chicken Cordon-Blue sandwiches along with curly fries and a Roast Beef. I hugged Michelle, Belle, and Raven. Belle gave me a little duck. I named him Chuck.

At home, we unloaded groceries from the FMF and put them away. I let the dogs out for potty. They drank lots of water. 

We all settled down on the sofa. Dogs napped. Hubby ate the lemon/raspberry muffin he got from Costco. THEY WERE SO DRY. IT WAS AWFUL. 

Hubby got a headache. I gave him my eye mask that warms up. Then I rubbed Magnesium on his feet as he said he was sick to his stomach. He fell asleep on the sofa.

At 9PM, we went to bed. 

MONDAY / JAN 27 / GROCERIES AT WALMART /

JANUARY 27 2025

MONDAY

BABY BLOOM @ DAFONT.COM

I was awake several times in the middle of the night, but managed to fall back to sleep. However, at 5AM, I was wide awake. Got up to sleep on the sofa. 

Sage slept on me all night; first between my legs and then up by my head on the right side. When I got up and went to the sofa, she followed and slept beside me all night. What a sweetie cat.

Hubby was up at 6AM and let the dogs out for potty. Then he made them breakfast eggs. I continued sleeping. 

Hubby had already made the bed. 

At 7AM, I got up and dressed. Went to the kitchen to make a hot cinnamon/honey latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself.

Then I went outside to pick up dog poo. It was cold and I had to put on my black sweater.

I cleaned up the kitchen; started the dishwasher. Hubby had started the washing and then I put the clothes in the dryer.

Hubby cleaned cat litter. 

I put everything away in the house so Hubby and I could leave. Hubby took the FMF to the shop. I drove the white Jeep to Walmart. 

I picked up groceries from Walmart before the prices go up. More turkey bacon, honey, 1 gallon of milk, Two 18-double packs of eggs @ $21.94; 4 boxes of Starbucks veranda coffee pods (before the prices of Columbian coffee beans goes up). 

I paid for groceries. Talked to some cashier that had no idea that assembly lines put together items. She seemed ignorant. Another woman behind me in line said she wanted to come live with me because I had such interesting and delicious items in my cart. Cashier was ringing up turkey bacon and I said it had less grease and tasted better than regular bacon. 

USPS came at 11:20AM and brought Amazon items. New BALL LAUNCHER for Riley, SHOES that need to be returned, new AIR FRYER. 

I unwrapped the ball launcher and plugged it into the electrical outlet. 

When it was charged, I played ball with Riley. She got tired and went to get a drink of water, then spit up water with her ball. I had to clean it up.

I put away clean clothes. I put away clean dishes. 

I watched Law & Order, Criminal Intent for a while. 

Hubby got home at 4:30PM. I walked down to the mailbox and met him down there. He drove me home. 

Hubby made dinner, warmed up a KFC chicken sandwich, warmed up leftover Lobster. 

We received an email from the Longhorn Ranch HOA about building the Well House. I had to print out all the documentation.

Then we worked on our blueprint for a while and re-did the bedroom entry door. Expanded the mud room closet. 

Hubby was watching YouTube videos. 

I found cat vomit in several areas of the house - the front bathroom hallway, the office entryway. I think it is Rattler vomiting cat food. 

I did my blog. I collected garbage to put in the can for tomorrow. 

Hubby fell asleep on the sofa with Riley sitting on his legs. 

I sprayed Magnesium on Hubby's feet for his cramps. 

We went to bed at 10:15PM.

KG PICTURE YOU

Awake at 5AM when the Fire Alarm started chirping again. Hubby got up to turn it off and came back to bed. I got up and went to the sofa to sleep. Hubby had to get up and move to the other sofa. I slept until 6AM. Hubby got up and made breakfast eggs for the dogs & fed them. 

I got dressed & went to the kitchen to make hot cinnamon/honey latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself.

Dogs went outside again for potty. They came back inside and had zoomies; were playing tug of war; barking. 

Then they laid down on the sofa for a nap. 

Hubby and I made the bed. Put the dirty laundry in the washer & started it. I cleaned the kitchen and put clean dishes from last night away. Put dirty dishes in dishwasher. 

Hubby called doggy daycare in St George because we thought we were going up to pick up the UTV at Moto Zoo. Doggy Daycare said they did not have Riley's rabies info, so I emailed it to them. 

Hubby called Moto Zoo and the UTV WAS NOT DONE YET. So Hubby called Doggy Daycare and cancelled for today as we don't need to go up there for anything but that.

Hubby watched YouTube videos on TV and then got several phone calls for the shop. Dale Thomas from Idaho called again and wants Hubby to fix his trucks. 

We took the dogs with us to the shop; Hubby had to meet 2 guys dropping off their UTVs. Johnathan was there with his Rottweiler in the back of his pick-up. Johnathan was working on his motorcycle. 

We saw ONE balloon at the Casablanca Balloon Festival. Wind was blowing. It was very cold outside. Not a good day for a balloon festival.

ONE BALLOON

The Helton's were walking into the building with the baby and I went down to say hi. They named him 

I came back and sat in the FMF until Hubby was done. 

We drove to Hunter Sports Park to walk the dogs. They both peed. Riley rolled in the grass. Then they drank lots of water. 

We drove out to Scenic to pick up lottery tickets. 

Then we drove-thru at KFC to get Chicken Little sandwiches (which was $20 for 3). Drove home.

At home, I was really tired. Took some more iron pills. I made more hot tea and ate the sandwiches. 

I sat down and watched YouTube TV with Hubby. I was so exhausted.

At 2:30PM, I left in the Jeep and Hubby stayed home with dogs. I drove to GS Nails to get my nails done. 

I accidentally spilled my tea and Andy had to clean it up. He was on the phone talking with his wife.

NAILS MATCHING TOES #58 RASPBERRY

Left GS Nails at 3:15PM and drove to America First CU. Some mouth-breathing old man blocked me when I was trying to turn into the parking lot. 

I withdrew $. We can't take our money out without the Bank (teller) asking very invasive questions. So fucking rude. Reporting to IRS. 

Then I drove home. I collapsed. At 6PM, I took a nap. Hubby continued to watch YouTube. 

At 9PM, I woke up and we watched the new episode of Will Trent and a new episode of Animal Control.

Hubby watched YouTube videos. Then he left for the shop in the FMF at 8:45AM. 

I texted some picture to him, and heard his cellphone ping as it was plugged in next to the refrigerator. I thought he would remember it, and come back home for his phone. But he did not.

I left the dogs at home and took the Jeep to the shop. Dropped off Hubby's cell phone to him. He had not even remembered he left it at home!

I drove back home. Called Enliven and talked to Rod-told him that I could not make the 9:30 appointment today.

At home, I put away clean clothes. I put away clean dishes. 

I vacuumed around armoire and in hallway. I vacuumed up cat litter. 

I did bookwork.

I painted snowmen. 

SNOWMEN

I played Ball Launcher with Riley.

I called Hubby at 2:30PM to remind him to get over to his appointment at the DMV to renew truck license. He called me and needed the insurance card. Then he called me again a few minutes later. They refused to register it if he did not have the title in his hand. So I had to re-schedule ANOTHER DMV appointment for him. These people are the worst, most stupid people I have ever experienced. NEVADA DMV sucks.

Hubby drove to UPS and dropped off return packages. Then he drove home.

Hubby was home by 4PM. 

He made Cheeseburger Macaroni for us. 

I ordered Riley another Automatic Ball Launcher from Amazon because the other one is already worn out. We have only had it since December 2024.

We watched YouTube videos and I worked on painting more Snowmen. I have lost the light blue Sharpie marker. So I ordered another one.

I rubbed some Magnesium spray on Hubby's feet because he was having hand cramps.

We put collars on dogs and put them in FMF.

TUESDAY

JANUARY 21 2025

ANTARLIKA @ DAFONT.COM

Awake at 5AM. Hubby was sitting on the sofa with his laptop on; was as bright as the TV. He said he was up with Riley and could not sleep again. Told me he had asked the Google outside what temperature it was; 23 degrees F. 

I went to sleep on the sofa and Hubby got up, saying that he heard a chirp and somebody talking. We waited to hear it again. It was the fire alarm with a battery dying. In fact, ALL 3 alarms were dying. Hubby went to the garage to get a ladder in order to replace all the batteries (stupid Pulte did not connect alarms to the electric). I tried to sleep on the sofa while he was doing that. 

Then he was wide awake and did not want to sit down quietly.

Hubby started to make breakfast eggs for the dogs. He fed them. Hubby put clean dishes away from dishwasher. We had washed dishes last night before bed.

I finally got up at 6:15AM. Dressed. Hubby had already made the bed. 

I went to the kitchen to make a hot cinnamon/honey latte for him. Made a plain latte for myself.

I texted the Vet to get more of his Thyroid meds. 

Hubby put dirty clothes in washer. I started washer. I put clean clothes in dryer.

Hubby called Travelers for Home Insurance and talked with Trixie? to update them about getting the title put in as our Trust. She said she would add it instead of making a whole new policy.

Hubby brought the garbage can inside the fence. Hubby left for work at 8:45AM. 

I did bookwork. I paid payroll (because it has been taking 2-3 days to process and finally get paid on time by Friday.

Sent a copy of the Business Plan to Spencer at his email as I had deleted it off the computer and had to find a paper copy.

Hubby got home early at 3:10PM as he thought we were going out to dinner tonight, but it is tomorrow night instead. 

We were both tired. Sat and watched TV. 

At 10PM, I was exhausted. Went to bed with a heating pad. It was VERY COLD. Dogs went to bed with me. Hubby stayed up. At 11PM, THE FIRE ALARM STARTED BEEPING. Hubby came to fix it and replaced the battery again.

Riley was so upset and nervous that she was shaking. Finally the beeping stopped. Hubby came to bed. 

It was 11:30PM.

I slept until 6:30AM. I heard Hubby get up with the dogs. He said he was up at 4AM with Riley, then back to bed. Up again at 5AM so both dogs could go outside.

I got up and dressed. Hubby helped make the bed. 

I made a hot cinnamon/honey latte for Hubby, plain latte for myself. I took my vitamins. I was itching on my back and Hubby looked at it to see that I had a rash. He put Calamine lotion on me. The Calamine lotion was too liquid and did not stick, but gave me some relief.

KRL called to find out why I was not getting text messages from her. After changing to Mint Mobile, we thought there was something wrong. We sorted it out and created a new Group Text message that worked.

Hubby cleaned cat litter. I vacuumed. I cleaned kitchen counter and put dishes in dishwasher. Hubby put laundry in washer and I started it. Hubby filled my laundry detergent in the smaller container.

Hubby left for the shop at 8:40AM in the FMF. 

I went outside to pick up dog poo. It was so cold, I had to put on black Quince sweater. I walked the poo thru the house and into the garage, out the side door as the window was so cold and blowing down that area between the houses. 

I did bookwork. 

I made more hot tea. I thawed out the chicken sausage and warmed it up in the air-fryer, I made Jimmy Dean sausage in the air-fryer. 

Glued and painted snowmen.

SHORT FAT SNOWMEN

Put away more clean dishes. Made more hot tea. 

I am exhausted. Think I might nap. 

I did not have time to nap. Hubby got home at 3:45PM.

He made himself a snack. We watched a little TV. Let the dogs outside again. I played ball with Riley.

Then Hubby had to meet Clint from Moto Zoo at 5PM. He drove to Smith's by himself. I stayed home with the dogs BECAUSE IT WAS SO COLD & WINDY. 

Hubby got back. We watched more TV.

I took a hot bath. 

Went to bed at 10PM. Hubby came to bed at 11PM.

WAFFLE CAKE @ DAFONT.COM

I could not fall asleep until 1am. Laid awake for quite a while. 

Woke up to Tater & Riley getting out of bed for potty with Hubby. I heard Tater barking to get back inside. 

I got up and dressed. Went to the kitchen to make hot cinnamon/honey latte for Hubby. I made a plain latte for myself. I gave the cats their tuna. I found Robert eating Sage's tuna when I went into the office.

I blogged. Had to order a new air-fryer because our old one is dying. When you shut it, it reads that the tray is still open.

Hubby finally got the snowman 1x2s and 2x4s painted white with two coats of paint.

We sang Happy Birthday to Riley.

I cleaned cat litter, vacuumed armoire, picked up dog poo outside, cleaned sliding glass window again.

Helped Hubby carry old fireplace insert inside again. Moved all Riley's toys to access fireplace access. Riley was sleeping in the corner.

We the new fireplace insert was returned. We reinstalled the old one. Hubby is modifying the boards to fit the old one into it again. 

Left the dogs at home and Hubby drove the FMF to GS Nails for Pedicures. Andy was waiting. We got our nails done. Hubby did not even have any in-grown cuticles! I got a color called #58 Raspberry.

RASPBERRY #58 NAIL COLOR

I was really exhausted. Almost falling asleep. No energy.

Stopped at the shop for Hubby to get packages that Fed Ex had dropped off in front of the Forklift. 

We decided to stop at Walmart and get honey, also got Bactine, and popcorn for massage therapists.

Drove home. I wanted to take dogs for a walk after resting, but Hubby had a headache. After the dogs calmed down and went outside for potty, we sat on the sofa and watched a movie called Knives Out, Glass Onion. 

I put away clean clothes. The comforter was still drying. I put away clean dishes. 

We again had to get ready for Massages. At 3:30PM, we left the dogs at home (forgot to leave on a light) and drove the FMF to Casablanca. Still lots of trailers & vehicles there from the Car Show this weekend. The receptionist at the Spa said they set a record for Car Show attendance.

I gave $5 to Chelsea. She is adorable. She said "I love you", and I told her "Right back at ya!"

Hubby washed his hair before coming to the waiting area. We got our massages. Talked about TV shows. I gave them their Walmart popcorn for NATIONAL POPCORN DAY.

Afterwards, we took showers and paid. Drove home. Too tired to drive to Scenic to pick up lottery tickets. We will do it another day.

At home, Hubby made lobster for me (it was kinda rubbery) and then we finished watching Knives Out: Glass Onion. Hubby was already snoring and there was only 26 minutes left of the movie.

We decided to go to bed early. 8:30PM. Let the dogs outside for potty. I went straight to bed, I was so tired. Hubby cleaned up a little, put dishes away. Wiped down the counter. By the time his head hit the pillow, he was asleep.
