SATURDAY
DECEMBER 13 2025




Then I was up at 4AM because Hubby was snoring.

I went to the sofa to sleep. It was freezing in the house. I turned on the fireplace.

Forgot to turn off back yard lights, so it was quite bright outside from the blue glow.

At 6AM, Hubby got up and let dogs outside. He started to make them breakfast. 

Riley jumped on the sofa with me, PBJR jumped on my feet and started sucking on the blanket. Hubby came and replaced it with her blanket.

I was up at 6:00AM. 

I got dressed. Folded blankets. I stripped the bed of sheets and put them in the washing machine. I even took off the patterned comforter to wash.  Had to put on a sweatshirt because it was cold. Put on the new denim color sweatshirt I received in the mail ordered from Etsy. 

I went outside to plug in the Xmas lights in the back. I picked up dog poo.

Hubby made DOG GROG egg breakfast for the dogs and fed them. He gave cheese & tuna to the cats. 

I made hot eggnog latte for Hubby, hot latte, hot tea, and Nanogreens for myself.

Hubby wrapped another return for Amazon to take to UPS. 

Loaded UPS, dog donations in FMF. Loaded dogs into car. As we were leaving, Oscar the Landscaper came over and talked to Hubby. Hubby had to show him his Torino pictures. I was trying to hurry him along. I showed Oscar the plants in front & back that need to be transplanted. He said "in the Spring".

We drove into town and tried to find a place to walk the dogs, but the city was watering everywhere. All the parks. Most parks were full of people playing baseball or soccer. 

Even the Mormon church had too many people there to walk dogs. 

We finally decided to visit the Library and walked the dogs in the front of the library.

Drove to Mesquite Plaza and shopped the crafts festival there. Left the dogs in the FMF. Parked in the far corner. Bought some bread, cookies, from Kaci's Bakery. Hubby bought some fudge. I bought some earrings and paid in $1 (Hubby stripper cash). There were food trucks, and Hubby wanted a burrito, BUT THE FOOD TRUCKS WERE NOT OPEN!

Drove to the SHOP and met a guy there that bought some stuff. 

We drove to the Mesquite Arts Center but they were closed and did not open until 10AM. 

So we drove BACK to the Info Center and walked the dogs there. The Meth RV was there, but nobody was out. I walked PBJR around the whole area on the sidewalk. She was dragging a little, but when we got past the building, she sparked up seeing Riley & Tater so started to walk faster!

Then we went to shop at the Mesquite Arts Center Craft Show. I bought a ceramic dish for Malia for Xmas. Raven will get the other pair of earrings that I bought at the Mesquite Plaza Craft show.

We went to the Dollar Store. Saw our old house cleaning lady there. She was talking to the checkout girl "We don't DO Santa". OMG. What a fucking religious nut job. 

Finally found the Xmas wrapping at the front of the store after walking all over the store. TOO MANY OLD PEOPLE! STANDING IN THE AISLES, BLOCKING THE AISLES, MOUTHS OPEN. OMG.

Hubby had a desire for SLOPPY JOES and we had to drive over to Walmart (which was also massively busy) Stupid bell-ringers, begging for money that they won't use for the poor were out. I stayed in the car with the dogs. Hubby went inside to get a whole rotisserie chicken, hamburger, and sloppy joe sauce.

Finally he came out, we drove to the Mesquite Animal Shelter to drop off the donations but there was massive construction and there was no where to park, no where to enter the building.

We were disgusted and left. 

Drove home. At home, Stan was getting his mail and we could not stop. As we were driving up to our house, there was a white car blocking the driveway. It was Paul and Chris. Paul was dropping off Chris' Xmas candy plate. I got out and ran to get a Snowman for her. 

NEIGHBOR, CHRIS' XMAS CANDY PLATE
CARAMELS, PEANUT BRITTLE, CHOCOLATE COVERED PEANUTS & TOFFEE



They were still in the middle of the street, talking to Hubby. I gave her the snowman, chit-chatted and then went to the house.

I had to clear off the counter top as Hubby had left the slow-cooker on it and the air-fryer out. 

I took packages from the front entryway bench to our bedroom. 

Started another load of washing. Put clean clothes on our bed in the bedroom.

STUART THRU THE SCREEN DOOR


Hubby cut up the Rosemary/Cranberry sourdough bread. But the Rosemary was OVERWHELMING. Smelled like old lady smell. Yuck.

SOURDOUGH BREAD



Hubby made Sloppy Joe's. Stank up the house. He also was grilling chicken thighs for the dogs. 

I blogged.

TATER ON DOG BED OUTSIDE BACK PATIO



GLOBAL WARMING


At 12:30PM, Hubby walked down to the community postal box for the mail.

Then Hubby helped me make the bed with the clean sheets. 

I wrapped more boxes for the cabinets decor. 

I put more clean laundry in the dryer.

Using a ladder, Hubby put the wrapped presents on top of the cabinets. 

TATER OUTSIDE IN SUNSHINE


I played BALL with Riley outside. Tater & PBJR slept on the dog beds. It was wonderful warm weather.



Hubby made his Sloppy Joe's. I chose not to partake. 

SLOPPY JOES

We watched TV and I went to bed at 10PM after Hubby fell asleep on the sofa and started snoring. 

The dogs got into bed with me.

Finally, at 11PM, I yelled at Hubby to come to bed and bring Tater's blanket with him. Tater was shivering and trying to dig his way into my body for warmth!
