APRIL FOOL'S DAY

Up at 3AM with the dogs and put them out for potty. Hubby sat on the sofa for a while. I went back to bed. He put dogs in bed. 

Up at 5AM with dogs for potty. I went back to bed until 6:30AM. 

Riley jumped on the bed and slept with me. 

I got up and was hurting everywhere.

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

Then I took a hot bath. 

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

Hubby sat on the sofa to watch YouTube videos. 

I finished in the tub, helped make the bed. Put dirty clothes in washer. Cleaned kitchen counter and put dishes in washer. 

Hubby cleaned cat litter. I picked up the dog poo and took it out to the garbage can. Dogs are still doing too much soft poo. One of the poops was just watery brown gelatin. I had to get hot water in a bowl and pour on it to disperse it. 

Hubby helped give me the diet shot today.

I took a painkiller (Gabapentin), got dressed, and sat on the sofa for a while. Then I did bookwork for Hubby. 

Hubby left at 3:30AM. I hugged him goodbye.

I helped Hubby put a pink collar on PBJR and get her loaded into the FMF. She skipped out to the car and was wagging her tail. She was SO EXCITED to spend the day at the shop.

Tater and Riley stayed home with me. We waved off Hubby & PBJR in the car as they drove away.

At 10am, I called the Virgin Valley Vet to make an appointment for the dogs. The girl kept interrupting me as I requested an appointment for BOTH dogs on the same day. She was rude and just an idiot. These 20-somethings really do not know how to work. 

I was in a lot of pain today because of straining my left hip/groin area last night. 

I took another painkiller to help, Gabapentin, but it did not do very much. 

I played BALL with Riley several times outside. 

I put away clean clothes. I put away clean dishes. I heated up chicken sausage in the air-fryer to have lunch.

Hubby texted me at 4PM that he had to go pick up a customer and then return to the shop. He and PBJR would be home after that. He needed to meet the Landscaper at our house to estimate the rock we need in the back yard. He talked to Siri for the message and instead of PBJR, it texted PHOEBE! OMG. So hilarious. So now PB is Phoebe!

Hubby finally got home at 4:30PM. PBJR went out in the yard and peed for QUITE A LONG TIME. 

He met the Landscaper. I kept the dogs inside while they looked at the yard. 

Hubby got a couple phone calls after work. Then he had dinner. He ate the chicken sausage that I had made in the air-fryer today. Gave the dogs some snacks. 

Then Hubby took a shower and washed PBJR because she was covered in oil, dirt, and grease from the shop. He also gave Tater a shower. Both dogs were clean and ran around outside. Riley did not need a bath. She is still scared of getting washed.

Dogs played for quite a while. Stuart went outside. 

We had story time on the sofa after Hubby got his jammies on and put the towels in the washer. 

I did bookwork. I took a Oxycodone for my hip pain and some Melatonin to sleep.

 TUESDAY

MARCH 31 2026

Up at 3AM with the dogs and put them out for potty. Hubby sat on the sofa for a while. I went back to bed. He put dogs in bed. 

Up at 5AM with dogs for potty. I went back to bed until 6:30AM. 

Riley jumped on the bed and slept with me. 

I got up and was hurting everywhere. I left on my long black nightgown and went to the kitchen to make cinnamon/honey/vanilla hot latte for Hubby, hot tea & Nanogreens for myself. 

Then I took a hot bath. 

Hubby warmed up chicken sausages in the air-fryer for me. 

Hubby sat on the sofa to watch YouTube videos. 

I finished in the tub, helped make the bed. Put dirty clothes in washer. Cleaned kitchen counter and put dishes in washer. 

Hubby cleaned cat litter, gathered all the garbage in the house, and took out to the garbage can in the street. I picked up the dog poo and took it out to the garbage can. Dogs are doing too much soft poo. 

I took a painkiller, got dressed, and sat on the sofa for a while. Then I did bookwork for Hubby. Wrote out a check for the rent to deposit at MACU.

Hubby left at 8:15AM. I hugged him goodbye. Hard to touch because I hurt so much. 

Tater went with Hubby today to the shop, while loading him, Hubby got a phone call, did not have the car door unlocked, walked back into the house and left me with Tater and PBJR trying to escape the house. I was hoping that there were no other dogs in the street. Tater was being an asshole as usual and trying to pull out of his collar. I screamed at Hubby and he came back to get the dogs. He finally hung up from his phone call THAT HE JUST HAD TO TAKE from Moto Zoo because there is YET AGAIN ANOTHER UTV THERE NOT BEING SERVICED. 

So I decided to put the electric shock collar on Tater. He really needs a refresher course on behaviour. 

Hubby and Tater left. 

I put away clean dishes. I put away clean clothes. I washed and conditioned my hair. I put my feet in tea tree oil bath salts condition soak. Then I put cream on my feet.

The USPS lady came at 10AM. She said our mail box door was not closed or locked. I told her that I would lock it so she could leave mail. There were NO KEYS IN THE HOUSE. I looked everywhere. I had to call Hubby because he went to get the mail last night with PBJR. He thought he left the keys on the table, No-they were in his pants pocket, No-they were mistakenly put in the garbage. OMG. This is like living with a 2 year old!

I finally went down to the mailbox and the USPS lady was there. She had found the keys in the mailbox. A neighbor must have put them in and closed the door. 

So I got the mail from her - it was in a rubber band. I thanked her profusely. Walked back home. 

At home, I had to make more hot tea. I am exhausted.  I opened the boxes that were delivered. Amazon soap, tea in one box and OUAI conditioner in another. 

Wind started BLOWING LIKE A HURRICANE. Brought in our pillows from outside. 

Let dogs outside. Let dogs inside.

I took a brief nap. 

Hubby called to say he had been at the Banks and was coming home. We ran outside to see them pull up behind the house.

Left the dogs at home in our room and we went to get groceries at Smith's.

Shopped at Smith's. When checking out, the Select Health Benefits cards were declined and I still had $55.00 on my card. 

We loaded groceries in car and drove home. 

At home, unloaded groceries. PBJR had diarrhea in our bathroom on the tile. (thank goodness it was not on carpet) and I cleaned it up. Then I cleaned her butt. The dogs went out for potty.

Hubby put away clothes. I started the washer with the washrags.

I called Select Health and they said they could not do anything because there were no other stores in the area. They could not carry over the $ to the next month.

I had to order expensive items on their website to use up the $55.00 that was still on the card. 

Because I have lost so much weight so far - about 55 pounds, I put on my long black night gown that I have not worn for years. It was even a little baggy. 

Went to bed at 10PM. I got cold and had to turn on the heating pad. When I scooted over in bed like I usually do, I strained the muscle in my left left/groin area. The pain went from my hip, down to my toes and up to my heart. It was agony. I screamed. Had to control my breathing. It was awful. I finally calmed down. 

Hubby fell asleep and snored. 

I got up at 11PM to take a hot bath as I was still in lots of pain. Hubby got up again with the dogs and put them outside. 

I went back to bed. Still in lots of pain. Finally fell asleep.

SUNDAY

MARCH 29 2026

Up at 3AM with dogs. Hubby went potty. We returned to bed. 

Up at 5AM with dogs. I went back to bed. Slept until 7:30AM. 

Dogs up at 6AM. 

It was overcast & cooler today. Much better weather than it has been.

Hubby made them breakfast eggs. He gave shredded cheese & tuna to cats. 

I got up and took a hot bath. I HURT EVERYWHERE. 

I got out of bath and sat on the sofa for a while. Then got dressed. Made the bed. 

Made hot latte for Hubby with the new flavoring. I made hot tea and Nanogreens for myself.

Hubby had made me egg bites in the air-fryer but I was not hungry for them. 

Hubby cleaned cat litter. I picked up dog poo.

I noticed that the grille was heating and asked Hubby what he had burnt. He said he had chicken breasts on the grille. They were black and burnt. He took them inside. I had turned off the grille for him.

We put harnesses on dogs and loaded them into FMF. Drove to Bunkerville to dog walk in the soccer park. 

There was no fire burning today in the field to choke us. Yippee. Fresh air.

Riley ran around barking at birds. She was running around so fast & far. She loves running! PBJR dragged me over to the horses. She loves looking at them. 

I picked up several piles of dog poop from other people Some VERY large piles of poop from a VERY big dog. 

We gave the dogs water after being there for 30 minutes, then loaded the dogs into the FMF. 

Hubby decided that he wanted breakfast, so we decided to stop at the new restaurant that was formerly the Worden's at The Oasis Golf Club. It is now called GURU'S. We left the dogs in the car. Hubby was giving them water when an old man in a golf cart drove past, saying "well, I guess you aren't golfing today". I thought it was just some random Karen being offensive so I ignored him and Hubby chatted to him, saying we were eating breakfast. Apparently, it was some jackass employee from the Club that drives people and golf clubs to the Club? What an odd person. Not dressed in Club employee uniform? 

I went potty, Hubby waited for me while getting a free Mesquite newspaper. We were seated and the waitress waited on us. 

Food was NOT good. We had to ask for butter. I never got my sweet potato hashbrowns "because they were out". Hubby had to ask for the bacon that was to be served with his waffles. The blueberry pancake and waffles were food service deliveries that had to be warmed in the microwave. The cook did not COOK anything... Obviously he had not prepped the sweet potato hashbrowns that morning. The waitress did NOT come back to re-fill Hubby's coffee. My eggs were from a mix and tasteless. 

We paid and left. Not impressed. Not going back. Yet another disappointing Restaurant in Mesquite, NV.

Drove to Feed & Farm store to pick up shampoo for Riley. As we parked in the handicapped space, Hubby rolled up the windows and accidentally got Riley's head stuck, she was screaming as she was being choked. I screamed at Hubby to roll the window down. He seemed oddly stupid, took a long time to re-start the car and rolled the front window down, then finally rolled Riley's back window down. 

We went to the store and got the shampoo. 

We got into the car and drove home. Tater was barking at other dogs in the street.

I let the dogs out again. Hubby gave them left-overs from our breakfast. Stuart went out. 

I played BALL with Riley. 

We sat down to watch TV.  Reno 9-1-1.

I put laundry in dryer. Then I put away clean clothes. 

Hubby gave Riley a shower with the new anti-itch, medicated shampoo we bought. 

Gave Riley a Benadryl for her itching.

Took naps on the sofa for a while. 

When I woke up, I was in so much pain. I had to take a hot bath. 

I told Hubby to put his shoes on and rake the rocks in the back yard so Riley is not playing in dirt. He said he will talk to the Landscaper this week that has his vehicle at the shop, maybe trade for rocks. 

I trimmed Hubby's ear hair, cleaned out his ears with q-tips, and pulled a LONG BLACK HAIR from deep inside his ear. I had to get 8 batteries that were all dead to replace the dead battery in the ear trimmer. I threw all those batteries away. I took the garbage from the house and the dog poo bags and put them in the garbage cannister at the side of the house.

We put harnesses on the dogs and loaded them into the FMF. We drove to Bunkerville again. Walked the dogs in the soccer park for a 2nd time today. There was a photographer that was taking a picture of a young man-graduate from high school.

I told Hubby to drive by and give them $-that would be a memorable thing and charitable thing that the young man would remember, but they were leaving as we turned around and drove past them.

We drove to the shop so Hubby could go inside and get the electric clicker for Tater's electronic collar. 

At home, the stupid neighbors were WALKING IN THE STREET and throwing ball? Stupid kids from Spring Break. Of course, their dog WAS NOT ON A LEASH, yet again. We parked in the driveway and had to wait until they SLOWLY, DELIBERATELY walked past until we could unload our dogs to the house. WHY are these neighbors so goddamn rude. 

Finally unloaded the dogs. 

Hubby decided to make pasta and shrimp for dinner. 

We watched some movies on TV. 

Hubby decided to make Irish brown bread in the bread-maker. It was finally done much later. 

I put more laundry in the washer. We went to bed at 11PM.

I got out of bath and sat on the sofa for a while. Then got dressed. Made the bed. 

Made hot latte with new flavoring from Pax & Beneficia - Trinity. Mixture of Cinnamon, Honey, Vanilla. He said it tasted good. I don't have to use as much.

I picked up dog poo. Hubby cleaned cat litter. Hubby started laundry in washer. 

I cleaned up the kitchen counter and put dishes in dishwasher. 

I had to sit on the sofa for a while after eating my egg bites. Dogs had a brief after-breakfast-nap.

I started the car early. Loaded dogs into FMF.

Drove home. 

Let dogs out for potty.

I did bookwork. Hubby fixed the fence out back where it is pulling apart. 

Hubby vacuumed house. I started to steam clean the floors. I accidentally dropped a measuring cup full of water from the counter. It shattered. I cleaned up what I could and ran out of energy.

I took the dogs & Stuart outside so they would not step in glass. Hubby vacuumed up the rest of the glass. I played BALL with Riley outside.

I came back inside and finished steam cleaning the floors. 

Hubby made bacon and smashed mini potatoes from a recipe. 

I was exhausted. Had to take a hot bath. EVERYTHING HURTS.

Drove to Bunkerville and walked dogs at park there. There was lots of kids playing ball in the other park, so we kept dogs on leashes. PBJR walked by the horses. Riley barked at birds. 

There was a fire in the field just north of us, so it was blowing towards us. Felt like north Idaho forest fire smell. Gave us headaches.

We left there and drove to the shop to meet Jose as he was returning our fire extinguishers that he had borrowed. 

We drove to Littlefield the back way to get Lottery tickets. Stopped at Maverik -LOTS OF CARS. 

Hubby came out with donuts. I refused them. Too much sugar. 

We drove home with the dogs. Really tired. 

At home, we unloaded dogs. Put the comforter in the dryer as it was finished washing. I took a hot bath as I was hurting all over. I got dressed and took a nap. Told Hubby to wake me at 2PM.

While driving to the Info Center, we had to avoid an accident at the corner of Hillside and Sandhill Blvd. Somebody had turned into the oncoming turn lane and hit a car head-on. The airbags deployed in the car. There were 2 ambulances, 2 fire engines, 3 cop cars. 

Drove to Info Center and walked dogs again. It was hot. PBJR did not want to walk. More homeless guys at the building, just hanging out. They finally left as we were putting the dogs into the car to leave. Gave the dogs water.

I played BALL with Riley outside several times. Had to go easy on her because it was so hot and she needed to rest in-between play. Tater & PBJR sat outside on dog beds until they were just too hot.
