We got our massages then had HOT showers because the attendants had turned on the showers 15 minutes before we were done. The far left shower was still running lukewarm/cool water, but the middle shower was HOT. 

Took a long shower and dressed. Hubby got out right after me. We paid and left.

Drove to Smith's to get milk & groceries. I got mac-n-cheese in the deli and Hubby got sushi. I also got a couple pieces of cake- cookies&cream, red velvet. 

Load groceries in Dually and drove home.

No poop or pee at home! I let the dogs out for potty. Hubby unloaded groceries. We put groceries away. 

I put everything back out in the house that we had hidden away. Opened the doors to the bedrooms. 

Hubby made beer & brats along with bratwurst! It was very delicious. 

We watched several shows on TV. 

Hubby fell asleep from 7-9PM. Then we went to bed at 9:30PM.

MORRIS BROUGHT OVER THE SLATS FOR THE HOT TUB - PBJR HELPING

Went to pick up Raven at work. I drove the FMF and Hubby took the Dually. Hubby drove to the shop to pick up packages left there outside.

I took Raven home, but Michelle was not there, so we drove to the Library. I took the keys inside to Michelle and talked to her about the car. 

PBJR came with me and licked Raven's face a lot. 

Hubby met us at the Library and then we drove Raven home. I sat in the back seat of the Dually with the dog bed. Dropped Raven off at home.

Up at 6AM. Hubby had already fed the dogs breakfast. 

I got up and dressed. Made the bed. Hubby was making chicken on the grille. He also made onions & peppers on the grille. He tried to give me a taste of onion, but I refused because it had touched the peppers. Was he trying to kill me???

I made hot cinnamon/honey latte for Hubby, hot tea & Nanogreens for myself.

Hubby warmed up turkey bacon in the air-fryer.

I went outside to pick up dog poo. The dogs had gotten into the water that had leaked from the faucet & sand to make dirt on the side of the house. So I got the rake and raked some rock back over it. Riley liked digging it as I was doing that. 

I was very hot & sweaty when I came inside. Changed my shirt. 

STILL NO ARMPIT HAIR! From the laser treatments that I have been getting. Very successful. 

We made 2-ingredient dinner rolls that I found on Instagram. Greek yogurt & self-rising flour. I mixed the ingredients in a bowl, Hubby helped roll them into balls and put them on the greased pan. Then baked the rolls for 27 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

Hubby then made a McMuffin out of the dinner rolls. It looked delicious.
