THURSDAY / JULY 17 / HOT / WINDY /

THURSDAY
JULY 17 2025





In the middle of the night, Sage had started eating the hair on the left side of my head. I pushed her away, but she slept beside Riley instead. 

I got up and put on a silk head tie. Then went potty and back to bed.

Up at 6AM. Hubby was up at 3AM with the dogs. He was having trouble falling asleep last night.

Hubby decided to stay up with the dogs and slept on the sofa.

I got up and dressed. Made the bed. 

Hubby was feeding dogs when I got into the kitchen. 

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

I vacuumed the cat armoire. Hubby took the cat litter out.

Hubby left for the shop at 8:45AM in the FMF. Dogs and I waved him goodbye.

I did more bookwork.

Hubby called and said Rodney wanted to call in prescriptions and Testosterone for him, so I sent all the pictures of our Meds to Hubby.

I picked up dog poo outside, replaced dog poo bags, played BALL with Riley, and cleaned the top of the grille. I threw dog poo bags into the garbage can. Gary next door was working in his garage and had the side door open.

I went inside and put away all the clean dishes. I put more dirty dishes in the dishwasher. I put away clean clothes and put Lysol inside the washer.

I did more bookwork. 

I took the dogs out for potty several times. I play BALL with Riley. Took pictures of the storm over the mountains. Hope the animals up there are getting enough water. 

Hubby found Johnathan drunk and passed out in utv at shop. He thought he was dead. Woke him up and sent him home. 

Hubby got home at 4PM. He said Johnathan was drunk again today. Johnathan's mom called. Then his parole officer called to say he tested him and he will be going to jail on Monday as he failed his alcohol test. 

We went to feed Raven & Michelle's dog & cats at 7PM. Dark skies. 

We took dogs to Info Center and let them Wild Dog. Tater & Riley pooped. PBJR panted. 

Supposed to rain and get cool at 9PM. So we did NOT stop to wash the car even though it is dirty.

At home, we let the dogs out for potty. Hubby made the bed. I took painkillers for my hands. 

I started laundry.

WEDNESDAY / JULY 16 / DESERT PAIN CLINIC /FEED DOGS & CATS AT RAVENS

WEDNESDAY
JULY 16 2025



Slept all the way thru the night as I took a Benadryl. I was woken up once during the night with horrendous pain, but fell back to sleep.

I was up at 6AM. Hubby had been up since 5AM with the dogs. He said Tater is usually the one up first. 

Hubby was busy feeding the dogs. I got dressed. Felt like I had a hang-over. 

I made the bed. I went to the kitchen to make hot cinnamon/honey latte for Hubby, hot tea & Nanogreens for myself.

Hubby fed the dogs. I picked up bowls and Hubby packed the dishwasher. 

I took another nap on the sofa. PBJR slept on my feet. 

Hubby cleaned cat litter and unplugged my Jeep from the wall charger. 

Hubby left for the shop at 8:45AM with the FMF. 

I did bookwork and paid bills. 

I picked up dog poo outside. I vacuumed and cleaned the armoire. Cleaned out the tray and put the fan on the armoire to dry up the urine that the cat had exposed to the wood.

I closed up the house.

At 12:45PM, I drove the Jeep to Desert Pain Clinic and had a "consultation" They don't do procedures except on Mondays. They scheduled a prednisone injection for my hands on Monday. Woot. I get to be in pain for 5 more days!

I barely had strength to drive to Walmart and pick up some hair coloring. My underneath hair looks dark and weird with my curls. I picked up dog chicken and some "scrub mommys" which I hate. I like the Scrub Daddys. 

Drove home. Unloaded stuff. Put everything away. Let the dogs outside. Riley was screeching as usual.

I put the haircolor on my hair. L'Oreal 
Watched TV. My hands are still burning. Took 3 Ibuprofen. 

Hubby got home at 3:45PM. I made a hamburger with mayo & onions for dinner. 

I rinsed the conditioner out of my hair and dried it. I don't really like the lighter red it brought out, but oh well. My hair did not fall out. It had been burning my scalp when I colored it. 

I still don't quite like the color. My hair at my scalp is still darker than the hair on the ends. It looks odd. I really need an overall color. 

I am really exhausted and everything hurts. My hands are hurting very badly. I took some Ibuprofen but it does not seem to help.

At 7PM, the sun has gone down behind the mesa, so Hubby and I closed up the house and left the dogs at home - too hot to take them. 

We drove to Raven's house the back way. Lots of water running in the street at their house we had to drive thru. Inside, the dog food bowl was full of ANTS. It was so gross. I dumped them in the sink, but forgot their disposal is on the LEFT side as ours is on the RIGHT side. Hubby went to change the pee-pads. I cleaned out the cat vomit in their cat tower and cleaned out the cat bowl. Put more cat food in cat bowl and then put it in the tower. 

Hubby dug out the dog food and ants in the sink and put them in the disposal. He found the switch for the disposal on the wall. NOT under the sink like ours. 

Hubby stomped on ants on the floor. We put the dog food down again. 

We left and locked the door.

Drove to Walmart to get ICE. We also picked up 

At home we unloaded the car and I took the dogs out for potty. Riley was screeching, she was so happy to see us home. PBJR did a backwards dance as I walked inside the house. 

I took 2 Gabapentin to help my pain. It did not seem to work. So I took a 3rd Gabapentin. Still in pain. I also took my night-time hormone pill and it made me somewhat tired.

We went to bed at 10PM. Hubby had trouble falling asleep. 

Tuesday, July 15, 2025

TUESDAY / JULY 15 / HOT HOT HOT

TUESDAY
JULY 15 2025




I could not sleep. Hubby kept snoring for hours, Tater crowded me out of the bed because he was sleeping sideways. I got up and slept in the living room on the sofa for a while, but my hands were burning so I got up again and went to the front bedroom. Threw off all the cat beds and pillows.

I brought my own pillow from the sofa, brought the red blanket and slept on my back with my hands at my sides to make the pain go away. 

I finally fell asleep, but Hubby and the dogs were up at 5AM. Hubby came to bother me and wake me up. Do you need anything? Do you want a blanket? I just wanted to sleep.

I washed my hair. I blow-dried my hair. I steamed my hair. 

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

I walked out and brought the garbage cannister in and placed it behind the fence. I talked to Betty, the neighbor from across the street. She said that Stan had his surgery but is not recovering very well. She left to go get her nails done.

I put away clean laundry. I put away clean laundry. I made lunch. Another hamburger with onions.

I watched TV for a while.

I called Desert Pain Specialists and got an appointment for a steroid injection into my hands for neuropathy pain. 

Hubby's TRT came today. Whomever delivered it did NOT ring the doorbell and I found it by opening the front door. It was just sitting out there in the heat. 

I brought the package inside.

I let the dogs out for potty again.

Hubby got home at 3:45PM. I paid a bill from Whip It Flags and put the check in an envelope. 

We loaded the dogs and put them in the FMF. Riley's and PBJR's harnesses were still in the car from this weekend. 

We drove the back way to take care of Jasmine and the cats at Raven & Michelle's house. Did not see the cats. Jasmine tried to bite me. We change the water and food.

Then we took the dogs across the street to walk in the grass under the shade of trees. It was still too hot. 

We drove back home. Let the dogs out for potty. Tater collapsed on the floor because he was panting. PBJR was panting.

SUNDAY / JULY 13 / BOAT IN GUNLOCK RESERVOIR WITH RILEY & PBJR / MASSAGES

SUNDAY
JULY 13 2025




I was awake at 4:45AM. I went potty and then slept on the sofa. Hubby was up at 5AM with the dogs and let them out for potty.

I got up and folded my blanket, went to get dressed. Opened the sliding glass door-dogs were sleeping on dog beds, Hubby was sleeping on the patio chair. I asked him if he wanted to leave early and go take boat to Gunlock Reservoir. He said "give me 5 more minutes sleep". 

So I went to the bedroom and made the bed. Did my hair. 

Hubby came inside and made dog grog eggs for dog breakfast. He put out tuna for cats. 

I made a hot cinnamon/honey latte for Hubby, hot tea & Nanogreens for myself. I warmed up cheese egg bites and ate 1/2 of one. 

We got the dogs ready. Tater stayed home by himself. We took PBJR and Riley.

Left at 6AM Mesquite Nevada time and drove to I-15 and old Hwy 91. 

Stopped at Maverik in Littlefield to get Lottery tickets, Hubby picked up a breakfast pizza for himself and a soft stuffed breakfast roll with sausage, egg, and cheese. He also got ice. Expensive ice. $3.96/bag.


HUBBY AT MAVERIK

Arrived at 8AM Gunlock Utah time. Loaded boat into water. I stayed with PBJR & Riley at the boat while Hubby parked the FMF and trailer. 

Hubby came back and we got loaded into boat. I took off my shirt and jeans with just my bathing suit & life preserver - which really does not fit as well as our jackets that we had in Idaho. This one almost chokes my neck because it works its way up my shoulder no matter how tight I strap it.




PBJR ADVENTURE ON BOAT


PBJR AND RILEY RUNNING AROUND ON THE BEACH


We took the boat out after 1.5 hours of riding around really fast on the lake. 

Some asshole was not observing the no-wake zone and came in hot & fast. He caused lots of waves. Then he power-loaded his boat causing even more water disturbance. Our boat rocked against the dock.

Hubby took Riley and went to get the FMF with trailer. I got PBJR out of the boat and pulled it around to load it. 

Helped Hubby load the boat, then we pulled around to the parking lot (motorbikes were in the no-parking zone) and tied everything down.

We left and drove home. At home by 11:30AM. Tater was happy to see us home. He had taken a nap. Let all the dogs out for potty.

Hubby prepped hamburgers to put on the grille after our massages tonight. PBJR and Tater stayed in the kitchen helping.

We watched YouTube videos on TV. Mostly forest fire burning in Prineville where our property is located, RV videos, automotive videos. 

I was really tired and took a nap for 30 minutes before we left for massage. 

I got up at 2:30PM and packed our bag, started getting the house closed up. Put the cat stuff in our room so we got Robert from the front bedroom and Rattler from under our bed and put them in our bedroom. 

Hubby took a marijuana gummy to relax. I did not. The gummies make me feel weird.

We left the dogs at home and went out to the FMF which still had the boat attached in the front of the house. We both smelled gasoline. It was SO HOT OUT that the gasoline had vented from the boat. Hubby opened the gas tank and let out some air. I went to get the shop keys so we could drop it off and store it inside at the shop instead outside in the heat & sun.

We drove to the shop and dropped off the boat. Had to squeeze it in front of the Dually.

Then we drove to Casablanca from the shop and parked in the back. 

Walked inside and there were quite a few people there. We got our robes, but they had gotten new AWFUL robes. Grey fur on them. It was SO HOT and these just made us sweat more. They also don't fit very well and I had to request a bigger robe. 

I saw a girl in the changing rooms that had beautiful long braids and I complimented her on them. Black hair with yellow ends. So pretty. 

I met Hubby in the relaxation room. Tried to cross my legs and the robe gaped open at my crotch. STILL NOT FITTING CORRECTLY. I HATE THESE NEW ROBES.

Hubby went to the mailbox to pick up the USPS delivered Stringberry cell phone case that had arrived.

We watched the next couple episodes of Poker Face.

FRIDAY / JULY 11 / HUBBY BLOOD DRAW IN ST GEORGE / MEDUSA'S PIERCINGS / ST GEORGE MED SPA / ARBYS

JULY 10 2025 
FRIDAY






I could not sleep very well last night. I had intense anxiety. I had Hubby come in and talk to me before we fell asleep last night. 

I got up at 2AM, went potty, and slept on the sofa. 

At 4:45AM, I got up and went potty again. The dogs got up and I let them outside. Then I got my phone, took pictures of the beautiful sunrise. 

FRIDAY MORNING 5AM SUNRISE


Hubby came out on the patio at 5:45AM. I wanted to let him sleep until 6:30AM, but he said he was awake. 

Hubby started making dog breakfast grog eggs. I gave tuna to the cats and Riley.

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

Hubby forgot he was not supposed to drink as he is getting his blood draw in St George this morning.

I got stuff organized in a bag, but forgot my pictures for doing my piercings. I did not realize this until I got to Medusa's. I put cheese, jerky, hair clip, lip gloss, billfold in the go-bag.  

Hubby put collars & harnesses on dogs. He took them out to the car. 

Tater's tail hit Hubby in his left eye. Hubby said he felt like passing out. It looks bruised. He could not take aspirin because he has to get his blood drawn.

So we drove to St George on the I-15. Not bad traffic. Made it pretty good time. 

Hubby got his blood work done at St George Labcorp. I waited in the FMF with the dogs. 

We drove to the St George Convention Center to walk the dogs in the grass (in the shade of the trees).

PBJR AND RILEY WALK IN GRASS AT ST GEORGE CONVENTION CENTER

TATER RESTS IN GRASS AT ST GEORGE CONVENTION CENTER

We drove to Beans & Brews. Hubby got an iced creme de brulee latte. I got an iced green tea with honey.

Hubby ate his burrito and drank BOTH lattes. 

We stopped and did the drive-thru at Arby's. I got two Chicken cordon bleu sandwiches. Hubby got 2 Arby sandwiches, one for the dogs. He got wedge potato cakes and I got curly fries. The girl handed us a brochure for signing up to points online. 

He drove me to St George Med Spa, but my appointment was for 2PM, I was supposed to be at Medusa's getting my piercings. 

HUBBY GOT CRAMPS IN HIS BUTTHOLE. HE WAS SCREAMING IN THE CAR. 

So Hubby drove me over there. He parked in the front PARALLEL PARKED! and waited with the dogs in the A/C car. 

I was in Medusa's for about 45 minutes. Ally replaced my earrings on the right side with hoops. Then she gave me another forward Helix on my right ear to match my other two. 

She gave me an Inner Conch on my left ear and another forward Helix on my left ear. I bled just a little, but it stopped. 

I paid and gave her a tip. I was about to leave when I realized that she had not given me my old earrings. I returned and she had accidentally thrown them away with everything else. 

So we then got in the FMF and drove to Sandtown Park. We walked the dogs in the grass. Hubby used the potty. PBJR waited outside the door for Hubby. Riley chased birds. Gave the two Brawler twins a LOT OF WATER. 

Some people parked right next to us. We loaded the dogs hurriedly as they had a dog in their car. Instead of getting the dog out, the woman used the restroom, the man sat on the sidewalk-smoking a cigarette. They left the dog in the hot car with the windows rolled up and just one window cracked for air. Idiots. Fucking stupid people.

We parked in the shade at the other side of the park. 

At 1:55PM, Hubby drove me to St George Med Spa where I checked in and got my Laser treatment with Sarah. They had gotten a new machine. This one really hurt me in a couple spots. 

We finished at 2:45PM. I paid and tipped Sarah.

Jumped in the car with Hubby and we drove BACK to Beans & Brews for another drink for Hubby. This time he got a Granita creme brulee. 

We left town and drove to the Maverik in Beaver where Hubby got lottery tickets. 

PBJR WITH HEAD OUT OF CAR

PBJR NAPPING ON DOG BED DRIVING BACK TO MESQUITE

Then we drove to Mesquite. Hubby drove to Smith's. I stayed in the car with the dogs while he got Sushi, potato buns, honey. 

RILEY RELAXING IN BACK SEAT OF FMF

We drove home, I unloaded the dogs and let them out for potty. Tater was exhausted. He collapsed on the floor. 

I took off the dog collars. Helped Hubby put away groceries. I put laundry in dryer. 

I vacuumed cat litter from the armoire. I helped put away clean laundry.

Hubby watched YouTube videos. 

We sent a message on Facebook Marketplace for a guy in California that has a shortbed F150 that Hubby wanted to buy.

I was exhausted. 

We watched some shows on TV. Another episode of Nautilus

We went to bed at 10:30PM.

I got up and put out tuna for dogs. Made hot cinnamon/honey latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself.

I also made an omelette. A "picture-perfect" omelette according to Hubby.

PERFECT OMELETTE


I woke Hubby up at 6:30AM and the dogs all licked & kissed him. I put out a bath mat and started the shower for him. He took a shower. 

I started making egg dog grog for the dogs' breakfast. 

I washed my hair and put the new conditioner in it that I purchased from ColorWow - Dream Coat for Curly Hair. My curls came out pretty good overall with definite texture. I really like it and will continue to use it.

You can still see on my right side where the cat ate 1/2 of my hair. It looks awful.

Hubby warmed up egg bites for me in the air-fryer while he ate my omelette. 

Hubby watched YouTube videos on the TV. 

Hubby cleaned cat litter in the armoire. Sage had peed down the side of the litter box and onto the tray - NOT on the wood of the armoire. Hubby had to clean out the tray. Yuck.

I picked up dog poo outside. I watered the plants outside while getting cooler water out of the hose for the dog water. 

Hubby left at 8:30AM for the shop in the FMF. 

Hubby got back to the house at 9AM. He had lost his phone. I called his phone # and it rang. It was under the sofa, between the cushions.

Hubby left again.

I watched TV. Let the dog outside again and sat with them. PBJR gets too hot and has to come in within 10 minutes.

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

I watched TV. Played BALL with Riley. Let dogs out for potty.

We watched TV. I played BALL with Riley again.

Went to bed at 10:30PM.

Hubby left for the shop at 8:45AM in the FMF. 

After Hubby left, I put out the 4 hamburgers and seasoned them with Montreal Steak Salt.

MONDAY / JULY 7 / BULLDOG PEST / YOGI CLEAN WINDOWS /

MONDAY
JULY 7 2025



I was affected with severe nerve pain in my right hand last night, I was wagging it and wiggling it to get some blood running again, but it continued for quite a while. Woke me up SEVERAL times. 

Hubby was up during the night with the dogs. He was up again at 5AM with the dogs and they were barking at people/dogs walking by our back fence. 

I got up at 5:30AM. Made the bed. Got dressed.

Went to the kitchen to make hot cinnamon/honey latte for Hubby, tea & Nanogreens for myself.

Peanut Butter Jelly Roll was in the kitchen helping Hubby made breakfast. She was very close to his leg the whole time. 

Hubby made dog grog eggs for breakfast and fed the dogs. He gave tuna to the cats. I put down the left-over tuna for Riley.

Dogs were playing. I did bookwork. Had to do an Audit for our previous workman's compensation insurance for the end of their policy that they cancelled for NO REASON. 

I had chicken/maple sausages that Hubby warmed up in the air fryer.

Hubby helped clean the house, vacuumed. I put away clean clothes. I put more clothes in washer and started it. I cleaned up the kitchen and put dishes in dishwasher then started it. 

I picked up dog poo outside. Hubby cleaned cat litter and vacuumed it out of armoire. 

I put away all my delicates so that window cleaners can clean.

Hubby left at 8:40AM in the FMF for the shop. Tater stayed home because it will be too hot today.

I got bookwork done and checks written out. I ordered Dominos pizza for the guys at the shop which I had forgotten to do on Thursday.

Then Justin, the bug sprayer came early at 10:00AM. I PUT THE DOGS OUTSIDE. Justin did the inside of the house when Yogi and employees knocked on the door. I told them I was not ready and that the inside needed to dry before I could bring dogs inside. 

Yogi was 1.5 hours early! WTF?

Yogi wanted to go do some other window cleaning as those people were scheduled for tomorrow. I told him that he moved ME from tomorrow's schedule and I was all ready for him to clean. I asked him to wait 20 minutes so that the bug spray would dry.

I turned around and shut the door in Yogi's face and went to get the check for the pest control company. Handed it to Justin.

Justin went outside to spray. Yogi and employees cleaned the front. I finally brought the dogs inside. 

Yogi asked if I would move the dogs to a separate room so his wife could come inside and I told him NO; THIS IS THE DOGS HOME. I am not making accommodations for his wife/employee.

I was just thorough pissed off with Yogi today and he almost acted like he was drunk or drugged. Seemed to not understand anything or our conversation yesterday. 

Time to find new window cleaners???

They all finally left at 11AM and I paid them. 

I put the dogs outside. I picked up MORE DOG POO. I filled the dog water with fresh and put their dog beds back on the ground. 

I came inside and put away all the dog toys, put the dog bed down. Put all my things in the bathroom back. I put the iPad and my phone charger back. 

I am EXHAUSTED.

I started making some Rosemary bread. I made more hot tea and sat on the sofa for a while.

I can't think. So EXHAUSTED.

Hubby home at 5PM with a trailer attached to the FMF. He had gone to Walmart shopping for burgers & buns. Brought home a whole bunch of other stuff. Onions, Bananas, Jalapenos, Carrots, Cucumbers (for the dogs), Sweet peppers, Burrito shells.

Said a customer had given him 1/2 case of Beer. Hmmm. Why not a whole case?

Hubby said the pizza was not good today. Johnathan went home with a sick stomach and was vomiting. Heat stroke?

Hubby made hamburgers on the grille. They were good. He said they did not have potatoe buns and brought home onion buns instead. 





Sunday, July 06, 2025

SUNDAY / JULY 6 / PBJR & RILEY BIKE RIDE / DOG WALK AT INFO CENTER / NAPS

SUNDAY
JULY 6 2025



I was up at 5AM and let the dogs outside. They came back inside after I went potty. I put Tater & PBJR on the bed. Riley jumped up on her own. We slept until 6AM. 

Hubby let the dogs out for potty. He woke me up and wanted me to get up and take the girls for a bike ride in the carrier, but I was really tired. I rolled over and could not sleep. 

So I got up. Made the bed. Got dressed. Hubby got dressed. He had been sitting down on the sofa and was ready to go back to sleep because I had said I did not want to go. But I told him that we have to push ourselves and start doing things! 

Hubby put tuna out for the cats. 

Hubby got the girls dressed in their harnesses. Tater stayed home. We left the front door closed so Tater would not bark.

We went out in the garage and Hubby loaded the girls into the dog trailer. I had gotten the dog bed blanket from our room and put it on the bottom of the trailer so the girls would not slide around. I pushed the bike down the driveway to the street. We got on the bikes and rode around. Went to the new neighborhood. My hands started going numb, so I told Hubby we had to go home. The dogs really liked riding. 

We came back home after about 20 minutes. Unloaded the dogs and took them inside the house. Riley was really excited. 

Hubby made breakfast for the dogs. I made a hot cinnamon/honey latte for Hubby, I made hot tea & Nanogreens for myself. 

Tried to take Hubby's blood from his finger for the Testosterone blood test, but he would not bleed. We will have to do it another day.

We fed the dogs. Let them out for potty one more time. We locked up the house and put harnesses on dogs. We loaded them into the FMF outside. However, I had opened the garage door and Hubby yelled at me that there were dogs out there. I went to get PBJR as she was standing on the passenger side of the car which had been back into the driveway. Some idiot woman was walking DOWN THE ROAD with her dog. Riley made 2 hot laps around the FMF while PBJR started a couple steps toward the woman and her dog. PBJR was walking aggressively and I could already see a dog fight starting...

The stupid woman and her dog STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET TO STARE AT US. WTF? OMG! Stupid people.

But I YELLED at PBJR to stop. She actually LISTENED TO ME. I was so happy and thrilled. She mistakenly thought I was going to hurt her or strike her (which I have NEVER done). She turned around and looked scared. I immediately grabbed her harness and told her what a good dog she was and the woman started walking again.  

I got PBJR in the FMF and Hubby had already loaded Riley & Tater in the back passenger door. 

We got inside and I kept telling PBJR that she was a wonderful dog and I was so proud of her for listening to me. 

We drove to the Mesquite Info Center and they walked/ran in the grass. Riley pooped. I picked it up. The dog water bowl was still on the picnic table from yesterday, so I filled it again for the birds. I left another water bottle there.

DOGS AT MESQUITE INFO CENTER IN GRASS


The dogs got to "wild dog" it as there was nobody else there. I let Riley & PBJR off their leashes. Tater was retained on a leash. Riley ran after birds. SO FAST. 

We left there and drove to the Solar Farm out in Lincoln County by the Mesquite Dump. It was huge. 900 acres. 

LINCOLN COUNTY SOLAR FARM


Lots of people biking today on the roads. 

On the way home, we stopped to count the new homes in the Suntero subdivision. There were over 70+ so far. They have added more roads in the back.

At home, I unloaded the dogs from the FMF. I took the harnesses off the dogs. Let the dogs out for potty and gave them fresh water & ice.

We sat down to watch TV. Some stupid movie called Riff Raff. It was not great.

I put away clean dishes. I put away clean clothes. I did some bookwork and worked on my blog. 

Hubby sent me more pictures to put on Facebook and IG for the shop.

I am tired.

SATURDAY / JULY 5 / JEEP CLUB MEETING / CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD

SATURDAY
JULY 5 2025





Up at 5AM. Hubby took the dogs outside. PBJR was still sleeping in bed with me. I got up to potty and she finally left the bed. I let her out with the other dogs.

I went back to bed. Then Hubby came inside with the dogs. He slept on the sofa. I brought the dog blankets out for them. 

I went back to bed again. Slept until 6AM. 

I got dressed. Made the bed. 

I went to the kitchen to make hot cinnamon/honey latte for Hubby, hot tea and Nanogreens for myself.

We cleaned up the kitchen. Put collars on dogs. 

Loaded the dogs into FMF. 

Drove to the Info Center. Let the dogs run wild. Until some car from California came and a guy got out, we had to get leashes on the dogs. I was getting water bottles out the back of the FMF when Hubby yelled at me. So I put collar on PBJR and Riley. 

Guy left because the bathrooms were not open. Then we took the leashes off again. RILEY RAN AND RAN AND RAN. She was running after birds. 

We put out water for them. Somebody had left a collapsible dog water bowl and I put more water in it for the birds that were drinking out of it. I left the water bottle.

We left there and drove to Littlefield the back way. Some motorcycle with an older guy in a pony tail got up close on our bumper, then passed us while speeding. He took off into the desert to cross the interstate via an underpass. 

Hubby got lottery tickets and ice at Maverik. We drove back to Mesquite on the I-15. While getting on the interstate, Hubby NARROWLY missed a huge semi peel off tire that was in the middle of the road. That could have been bad. 

I suggested that Hubby take 4th of July Krispy Kreme donuts to the Virgin Valley Jeep 4x4 Club Meeting this morning. He stopped at Smith's to get donuts. PBJR longingly looked out the window while waiting for him to return.

At home, Hubby started sending me pictures from the shop work to put on Instagram and Facebook. We have not posted since January. 

We put up the dog food so PBJR cannot eat outside of meal times anymore. She has been gaining more weight. Hubby almost could not get her harness on her today!

Hubby left for the Virgin Valley Jeep Club meeting at the Pioneer Center at 10AM. He took 4th of July donuts for the meeting. Then he took the rest of the donuts to the guys at Roadrunner Tire store. 

KRISPY KREME 4TH OF JULY DONUTS


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

I did bookwork. Hubby vacuumed the house. 

Afterwards, dogs all took naps. We watched TV. 

RILEY WAS EXHAUSTED FROM RUNNING AFTER BIRDS



I did work on my blog. 

PBJR WAS NAPPING ON THE PATIO WHEN TATER CAME OVER AND SLEPT ON TOP OF HER



Got boxes delivered at front door. I did not hear them come. I conditioned my hair. 

At 8PM, I made cinnamon/raisin bread for Hubby.

CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD



Hubby fell asleep on the sofa. 

At 11PM, bread was done. Hubby had some.

Hubby took Benadryl and gave some to the dogs for sleep. Tater & PBJR are having allergies. PBJR has bumps and Tater has dandruff.

Went to bed.

FRIDAY / JUL 4 / NAILS / SMITHS / FIREWORKS

FRIDAY
JULY 4 2025


4TH OF JULY 



Hubby was up at 5AM with the dogs and took them outside. Then he napped while they slept in the dog beds. By 6AM, Hubby fed the dogs and put tuna out for cats.

I got up at 6AM, made the bed. Got dressed. 

Went to the kitchen to make hot cinnamon/honey latte for Hubby. I made hot tea and Nanogreens for myself.

Took the laundry to the washer and started it. Put away the clean laundry. Put dishes in dishwasher.

I gave PBJR another painkiller as she had another run-in with Robert who clawed at PBJR's injured foot.

I did bookwork. Let the dogs out for potty again.

There was a Costco box full of Clorox wipes on the front porch. I brought the box inside.

I played BALL with Riley. Did an obstacle course to give her more enthusiasm. Costco box, cooler at end of hallway, paper towel rolls on the side, some more boxes at the beginning of the hallway.

She really liked it as she jumped over everything to get the ball instead of just running down the hallway.

We left at 9:35AM in the FMF with PBJR (so she won't attack the cats) for my Nail appointment at GS Nails. Stopped to get mail before we left the neighborhood.

I had my nails done by Ma. (Sandy, the daughter in law was there with a horrendous cold-hope I don't get sick) Hubby went to do errands, wash car, drop bottled water case off at shop. 

Hubby picked me up after my nails were done. We drove to Smith's to get ice, milk, hamburger buns, egg bites, (Hubby picked up 4th of July donuts even tho I am not eating sugar anymore).

PBJR and I waited in the A/C car while Hubby shopped.

Hubby loaded groceries in the car.

Then we stopped at the Info Center so PBJR could walk. She was not enthused. She peed and we left. 

At home, Hubby unloaded groceries. I had unloaded PBJR and the mail. 

Hubby started to make more Dog Grog, seared a rump roast that he bought at Smith's. 

I played BALL with Riley again. Afterwards she got ice water and was panting. She finally slept on her dog bed.

We watched TV for a while.

At 9PM, we went outside to watch fireworks. It was OK. Not the greatest. Did not really feel like celebrating this year. It was so low-key. We leaned against the FMF and watched. Then checked on the dogs. PBJR was panting. Riley was upset. We stayed inside. The noise and booms were overwhelming. No private fireworks. It was odd. 

Neighbors at yellow house had a guest that left at the beginning of the fireworks. Thanks for the driving lights in our eyes! Then another car came down the street while fireworks were shooting off with bright lights. Drunks! WTF is WRONG with people?

Fireworks were done within 15 minutes. 

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

THURSDAY
JULY 3 2025




Heard Hubby get up at 5AM with the dogs. They sat out on the sofa after going out for potty.

I got up at 6AM. Hubby helped make the bed. 

Hubby was feeding the dogs. 

I got dressed. Went to the kitchen to make hot cinnamon/honey latte for Hubby, hot tea and Nanogreens for myself.

OVERCAST IN THE MORNING


I tried to feed Riley as she is being picky and won't eat the eggs anymore. All she wants is tuna. I put one of the cat tuna bowls down for her as the cats were done eating.

Hubby warmed up my egg bites in the air fryer. I ate one.

My new iPhone 16Pro had finally finished transferring from my OLD iPhone 15Pro. 

Hubby watched YouTube videos for a while.

I picked up dog poo outside. It is overcast but hot again today.

I did bookwork.

Hubby took Tater to shop with him at 8:30AM in the FMF. 

The girls and I stayed home. 

I did bookwork. I put away clean clothes. I put away clean dishes. 

I picked up dog poo.

Watched TV for a while. 

Hubby & Tater got home after going to the Mountain America Credit Union to deposit a customer's check then stopping to pick up Hubby's blood draw paperwork at Enliven (from Rodney). 

I had made hot bread in the bread maker. A new recipe - Sally Lunn. Had to use eggs and water. 

SALLY LUNN IN BREADMAKER


We watched TV. Had hot bread. 

I heard some weird noise and thought that the water was running in the kitchen, but stood up and IT WAS RAINING with the sun still shining. I ran outside to bring the dog beds under the patio. 

I took a nap on the sofa for a while. PBJR slept on my feet. When I woke up, I felt awful. Stomach cramps, pain everywhere, DIZZY, felt like vomiting. 

I wanted to get up and sleep in the bed, had Hubby make the bed. But I could not sleep as it hurt to get on the bed. 

Hubby gave Tater a bath in the shower while I took Riley & PBJR outside to sit in the heat on the patio.

I watched RV YouTube videos with Hubby for a while. 

I took a Prednisone for the pain. It was AWFUL.

Finally pooped out some awful poison. 

I had a hot bath that helped the aches and pains. Soaked my hair.

Went to bed at 11PM.

Hubby said he felt bad later when he went to bed. Both of us poisoned by the bread?

WEDNESDAY / JULY 2 / OVERCAST /TATER GOES TO SHOP

JULY 2 2025
WEDNESDAY



Awake at 1AM when Sage jumped on the bed and tried to sleep with me. I was sleeping, so I don't know if she had been chewing on my hair...

I got up, shut the bedroom door and went to the sofa to sleep. My hands had been tingling, so I could not fall back to sleep. On the sofa, my hands seemed better.

I fell asleep. At 2AM, Hubby was up with the dogs and put them out for potty. He got them back into bed. 

At 3AM, Hubby was waking me up on the sofa and told me to go back to bed with the dogs. He could not sleep and wanted to sit up for a while.

I went back to bed. At 3:30AM, Hubby wanted to wash his hair in the kitchen sink and came into the bedroom to get a towel. He woke me up again.

I went back to sleep. 

I was up at 5AM when the dogs wanted out. I opened the bedroom door. Hubby was on the sofa, looking at his iPad and watching YouTube on TV.

Hubby let the dogs out. I went back to bed and slept until 6AM. 

Hubby had already fed the dogs and put tuna out for cats. 

I got up and dressed at 6AM. Hubby helped me change the sheets on the bed. Dogs played a LOT in the sheets. Growling, sneezing, play-bowing, tussling, brawling, running, tackling.


OVERCAST MORNING

Hubby put the clothes in the washer and started it. 

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

Hubby warmed up egg bites in the air-fryer for me.

I went outside to pick up dog poo. It was sprinkling and was cooler. Told Hubby to bring the dogs outside. We sat outside for a while until 8:30AM when Hubby had to leave.

Hubby took Tater to the shop with him. 

I did bookwork. 

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

I picked up more dog poo outside. Let the dogs outside. Brought them back inside.
