I took all the poop out to the garbage can and dragged the garbage cannister to the street. 

I vacuumed up the cat litter on the floor and in the armoire. I had to wash the tray outside because the cats peed in it again.

Hubby left at 8:30AM after he cleaned the cat litter for the 2nd time. 

Hubby brought the garbage cannister inside the fence.

Sat with the dogs this morning, Tater was barking. I sat listening to bird song. 

At 11:30AM to NOON, Sewer Pumper was pumping out sewer from the manhole cover sewage access directly across the street from our back yard. Odd.

I was up at 4AM. Hubby took the dogs out for potty. When he returned to bed, he thought I was not there and flung his arm out, hit me. Then he was "sighing" in his sleep. When I got up to potty, he started asking where I was going. So I was still mostly asleep. Went to potty in front bathroom.

Slept until 6:45AM. Hubby was up with dogs. I got up and dressed. Made the bed. 

Folded dog blankets.

Then I went to the kitchen to make hot latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself. Hubby warmed up sausages. I had a blueberry muffin that we got from our grocery order yesterday at Walmart. 

It is so nice to just do ordering and pick up now instead of having to stress out with other people (idiots) in the store. Just pick it up - no worries.

Hubby cleaned cat litter. 

I went outside to pick up dog poo.

Hubby watched TV for a while. I did bookwork. 

Hubby & Tater left at 8:30AM for the shop in the Dually. 

Amy, the neighbor next door was just coming home from pickleball. I talked to her for a few minutes.

Then I came inside and vacuumed the house. Vacuumed out cat litter. Sprayed Lysol because it stank so bad. 

I vacuumed the garage and moved some things to make more space. I took out all the garbage. I washed the inside of the vacuum parts and put them on the patio to dry. 

I cleaned out the extra cat litter box in the garage and dumped the litter into the outside trash can.

PBJR and Riley stayed outside while I vacuumed. They are scared of the vacuum. It is a nice day outside. Cooler at 80F degrees.

I went in the bedroom and greeted everyone good morning. 

Then Hubby got out of bed. I got dressed. Took all the dog blankets off the bed and took them to wash.

Riley refused to eat her breakfast even though Hubby put it in the bathroom and shut the door. 

Finally had to give Riley a can of tuna and she was so skittish trying to eat it that the cats ate some and she ran away. Finally, I sat it down in the office on the rug and she calmed down enough to eat it while I sat in the office with her.

We changed the sheets on the bed. Hubby put the sheets in the washer to start it. 

Cleaned up the dishes from breakfast and put them in dishwasher.

I noticed all the cat litter in our shower from the last time we left the cat box in there, so I went to vacuum that. 

Hubby vacuumed the rest of the house.

I got out the mop steamer and cleaned the rest of the house floors. I turned down the A/C as I started to sweat. It took a couple hours to steam clean the floors.

We watched TV most of the day. Man Meats Food. 

Then I started getting ready at 2PM. Getting out robes and bags, put out a marijuana gummy for Hubby. I put boxes & food/water for cats into our room. Hubby put the cat litter in the shower. 

We closed up all the doors and left at 3:30PM in the Dually for massages at Casablanca.

Tater on a leash so he doesn't hurt his leg again, PBJR on a leash - we walked all the way around the info center on the sidewalk. Riley was off-leash to get exercise. she ran around after birds.

Hubby cleaned the garage. It looks nice now. He put the golf cart on the trailer with a winch. He is going to take it to the shop, charge the batteries, and sell it.

CLEAN GARAGE - LESS CLUTTERED

I got my nails done at GS Nails while Hubby took the trailer & Dually to the shop, unloaded the golf cart, gave a $200 advance to the new mechanic, Nick. 

NAILS

Tater is limping around, so I gave him a Tramadol.

Then Hubby dropped off  the trailer at Jose's yard. He drove home the back way so that the dogs could see him drive by at the back of the fence.

I sat down on the sofa to take a nap. 

I woke up at 8PM.

Up at 3:30AM. PBJR was pushing hard against my hip and would not move over. I went to potty in the front bathroom and slept on the sofa.

At 4AM, I got up to let the dogs outside. It felt like I was drunk and hurting - felt beaten up? I let the dogs back inside, but I had no energy to get them on the bed, so I told Hubby to put them on the bed.

The new kitten, Stuart, bothered me for quite a while, he would bite at my hands and I put him on the floor; he would do it over again and I would put him on the floor. He finally got tired and went away. I heard him eating cat food. CRONCH CRONCH CRONCH.

I went back to sleep. Bad nightmares about neighbors backing their 35' brown camper trailer into our back yard and damaging everything. I woke to Riley whining to go outisde. I got up and let her out. 

It was 6:10AM and I told Hubby to get up. 

I took a hot bath and several aspirin. My pain level was at a 26+, I told Hubby. Kitty in bad Lupus way.

LOOSIA SOFT HEEL RITUAL

I played BALL with Riley at 2PM. She was not enthused. Tired. Laid down in the middle of the hallway, just panting. 

I have the A/C on, so I don't think that it is too hot inside the house. 

Hubby was over 1 hour late coming home from shop as he had to wait on a customer.

SUNDAY

SEPTEMBER 21 2025

I was up at 4AM with the dogs. Let them out for potty. Went back to bed. Loaded Tater & PBJR into the bed because they can't jump up that high.

Slept until 6AM when Hubby got home. Dogs heard him at the door. He brought in the new kitty-Stuart. (like the name in LetterKenny). He let Stuart use the spare kitty potty in the garage. 

I had already cleaned out the cat litter in the house.

I started making a hot latte for Hubby, hot tea & Nanogreens for myself.

I started making egg breakfast for the dogs, but Hubby took over. Stuart just wandered the house, making himself at home and meeting the other cats. Lots of hissing. Bottlebrush tails. Dogs were very interested, but did not react. Yet. 

STUART FROM COLORADO

Hubby fed Tater & PBJR outside on the patio. I gave Riley some tuna. She also finally ate her breakfast eggs much later. 

I went outside to pick up dog poo. 

Hubby decided to sleep right away. I halfway made the bed, but not on his side. Stuart slept with Hubby curled up on his shoulder/head. 

Stuart is MUCH tinier than I expected. Hubby said he was Sage's size, but he is 1/4 of that size. Barely weighs anything. 

He loves to inspect everything in the house.

Hubby was coughing and I took him in some water and Cold Calm. I also lined his nose with Zicam. He said it helped immensely with his runny nose.

Hubby slept for 2 hours. He got up at 11AM. 

I vacumed, cleaned out the cat litter again. Then Hubby took over vacuuming from me. He also made burgers on the grille. 

We watched TV for a while. 

TATER, HUBBY, PBJR ON SOFA

I had to change clothes and get ready for massage. Hubby got the Jeep out for me. I lefta t 3:30PM. Drove to Casablanca. The car show was getting out and everybody was leaving with vintage cars and trailers. 

I parked and entered. Went to pick up keys for lockerroom. Several towels were laying on the floor when I entered. Some people are just slobs. 

I changed and waited for Raven. She came to pick me up and I got my massage. Immediately, my endometriosis started. I was in pain the whole time. I had to cut short the massage. She was just about to flip me when I had to leave.

Went to take a hot shower, turned on all 3 showers to get hot water. It took 10 minutes while I waited in pain. No aspirin to take...

I showered for a while and then got dressed. Paid full price instead of our locals discount because I had no local I.D. Chelsie was not there this time. I was upset.

Drove to Walmart to pick up our grocery order. Drove home.

Unloaded groceries. 

Took Riley & PBJR for a bike ride. Kokopelli have ruined the grass everywhere in Sun City. Cut it short to mud in order to "re-seed it" with signs everywhere. Lots of people were out with their dogs so we could not go to the other park. Last park we went to was muddy, wet, and scorched grass. It was awful.

So we rode home. Unloaded girls. 

Gave the dogs some cucumber treats. 

We sat down to watch TV. I was so tired. I had a peanut butter sandwich and some turkey bacon Hubby made me. Probably only 2 bites of the bacon. 

Then I had to go to bed at 8PM. Hubby made the bed for me. I went to bed. Riley came to sleep with me. Then later, Hubby brought all the dogs in with me.

I put in the twice-baked potato into the dogs eggs and Hubby's pre-made breakfast additives. Peas, carrots, etc.

I fed Tater & PBJR on the patio. 

I fed Riley inside. I also gave Riley some tuna - a whole can. Tater came inside and pigged down Riley's food. I put him in time-out. Bad dog.

THURSDAY / SEPT 18 / TATER TO SHOP / ORDERED NEW TOASTER / CLEANED CAT LITTER /EYE BLISTERS BETTER

SEPTEMBER 18 2025

THURSDAY

Hubby was up with the dogs at 4AM. They had managed to sleep thru the night. 

I went potty and everybody came back inside to bed. 

I woke up sweating with Tater plastered against me in bed. I managed to throw off a blanket without anybody waking up. 

We slept until 6:30AM!!!

The cream that the doctor prescribed has made my eye rash/blisters much better. It does not hurt at all now. 

Got up and dressed. I made the bed. Hubby opened the mini blinds. 

Hubby made egg breakfast for the dogs & fed them outside. I took Riley's and put it in my office so she had no distractions. It took her about 15 minutes, but she ate it all!

I did bookwork and reviewed email.

Hubby and I watched TV for a while. 

Hubby & Tater left for the shop at 8:35AM in the FMF. 

I cleaned out the cat litter and gave it a deep clean. Cleaned the box outside at the front faucet. Scrubbed it with Clorox Wipes and Lysol. Then I put the cat litter back into it. 

I picked up dog poo outside.

I put all the dishes in the dishwasher and started it. I started the washing machine full of dirty clothes.

I vacuumed the front of the house. Then I was tired and sweaty. Sat down to have breakfast.

Ordered a new Toaster from Amazon because the old one is full of grease from heating up my hamburgers (not a good idea). 

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

I threw away the old toaster in the garbage can. 

After wetting my hair, I put curl spray on it.

USPS rang the doorbell. I got the book I ordered, The Quince sweater I ordered, and another dog antler for the dogs. I gave the Antler to Riley.

QUINCE COTTON CROPPED SWEATER

I am just exhausted again.

Hubby came home with Tater at 1:45PM. He put the tailgate on the Dually. Wanted me to help, but I am so weak that I could not help lift it. He finally got it on. 

Hubby is loading the lift into the back of the Dually instead of taking the trailer. 

Hubby left for Vegas at 2PM.

Hubby said there was a big wind in Vegas, lots of dust everywhere. Total black out. I told him that it looked like rain on the Weather app. He said it started to rain. Great. 

Hubby called because he was lost. The interstate was at a stand-still and I directed him down Nellis Boulevard. His phone was going dead, he had to plug it in and he panicked because he thought he lost his plug-ins from when the Dually was detailed. The detailer never puts stuff back.

About 20 minutes after Hubby called, the wind blew thru here in Mesquite, I brought in our seat cushions from the back patio. Went over to the neighbors to bring in their big red umbrella, and picked up Riley's ball that had rolled into their back yard. 

Hubby finally found the warehouse and got loaded.

He returned home by 6:45PM. He brought some ugly flowers. I told him not to buy plants or flowers anymore. I hate them. 

WEDNESDAY / SEPT 17 / IMMEDIA CARE / EYE BLISTERS / HUBBY WORKS LATE / MORE CONTACTS DELIVERED

SEPTEMBER 17 2025

WEDNESDAY

I was up in the middle of the night, could not sleep, everything was irritating me. Music that Hubby played before bed on Google Home, sheets touching me, dogs breathing/snorting, my hair, the clock ticking. 

I went to the sofa and slept. Difficult to fall asleep. Finally fell asleep with nightmares. 

Awake at 5AM when Hubby came out of the bedroom with the dogs. Sat on the patio with them until 6AM. I went to the bedroom and slept until 6:30AM. Riley came to sleep with me.

Hubby made dogs breakfast eggs and fed them. I got up and made the bed. Dressed.

Went to the kitchen to make hot latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself.

Hubby baked carrots in the oven.

We closed up the house at 8:25 and left the dogs at home. 

Hubby drove me in the FMF to Immedia Care to have the PA there see my eye blisters. They are swelling & itching more and I had double-vision last night. 

Arrived early, went in to the office at 8AM promptly. Very nice from desk reception; she kept masked the whole time and used antiseptic cleanser the whole time. Nice nurse. My tests were BP - 138/72 and 97 for Blood Oxygen level. 72 for heart rate. 

The doctor finally got in to see me at 8:24. She thought maybe Shingles, but I don't think so because it does not have the rash. Most just 3 blisters on my eye. She is giving me prescriptions. Suggested that I contact my eye doctor to advise about the double vision.

We left there. No co-pay. Signed some documents.

Drove home.

Let the dogs outside. Hubby pulled his carrots out of the oven. I opened all the doors. Put the cat litter out in the garage again.

Put laundry in dryer. 

Let dogs outside. Put away clean clothes. 

Got new contact delivery via UPS delivery at 12:30PM.

I was really tired and took a nap at 3-4PM.

Finally called Hubby at 4PM. He and Oscar had worked on a customer's vehicle and Hubby was finally leaving. 

Hubby drove to Smith's and picked up my cream and pill prescription for my eye blisters. 

Hubby got home about 4:30PM. 

Hubby did NOT go to Vegas to pick up the vehicle lift. He said he was too busy.

We took PBJR and Riley on their bike ride/park adventures. It had been much too hot earlier to take them, we had to wait until about 6:20PM to leave. The neighbors were taking their dogs out with friends and we had to take off immediately because Riley started barking from the trailer. It got really late and dark. Hubby had to pee in the middle of the new development. Finally got home at 7PM. 

At home, I played BALL with Riley. I ordered more balls from Amazon because her balls are getting gross and dirty.

We watched TV. Hubby fell asleep on the sofa. He snored.

Went to be at 9:45PM. Let the dogs outside one last time, then went to bed.

TUESDAY / SEPTEMBER 16 /

TUESDAY

SEPTEMBER 16 2025

I had to pee, then slept on the sofa at 4AM. 

Hubby took dogs out at 5AM. I was sleeping on the sofa. Heard PBJR licking her feet, she wanted to go out. Hubby was already back in bed. I let PBJR out and back inside. Then we both went  back to bed. Slept until 7AM.

Hubby got up and fed the dogs egg breakfast. I made the bed. 

I conditioned my hair.

Hubby grilled burgers on the grille. He did NOT burn them!

I picked up dog poo, cleaned cat litter box. Hubby put more litter in box. I put everything in the garbage bag and then had no more energy to take it out to the garbage can outside in the street. I dropped it at the front door outside.

I sat on the sofa, just exhausted. I had made a hamburger with mayo & onions. Hot tea, and Nanogreens. Then I heard the Garbage Truck come by. I had not had the other bag taken out yet. So I got up, put the bag in the garbage can, then brought the can behind the fence.

Hubby left at 8:30AM. 

Put laundry in washer to wash. Put dishes in dishwasher and started it.

I watched TV for a few minutes. Went to sit with dogs on the back patio while it was still cool outside. 

Came inside when Tater got too hot, I sat down to do bookwork. Paid bills.

I went to kitchen to make hot latte for Hubby (which he found TOO hot) and I had to put more milk in it. I made hot tea and Nanogreens for myself. I also put in chicken/maple sausage in the air fryer for me.

I had a blueberry muffin for breakfast.

PBJR, HUBBY, RILEY & A BURRITO ON THE SOFA

I went outside and picked up dog poo. Gave the dogs fresh water as a moth had drowned in the water. 

I found that I have two blisters on my left eye that developed overnight. LUPUS. systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) a rare complication. RARE. RARE. RARE. WTF?
