TUESDAY / MAY 5 / CINCO DE MAYO / DOG WALK / SMITHS /

TUESDAY

MAY 5 2026

CINCO DE MAYO

I was up at 3AM with Riley. She jumped off the bed and I went out to the living room to let her outside for potty. 

Then I went potty. I came back and brought her inside. She ran to the bedroom and got on the bed. Thank goodness she does not need help to jump. She flies like a deer. 

I went to bed on the sofa and slept until Hubby got up with the dogs at 5AM. He said he could not sleep anymore. 

He made the bed. He got together the garbage from our waste baskets inside and took it out. He took the Garbage can to the street and picked up the dog poop bags on the corner of the house. 

Hubby also fed cats tuna and shredded cheese.

I got up and got dressed. Hubby had put my jeans out on the bed. 

I made a hot cinnamon/vanilla/honey latte for Hubby. I made a plain latte for myself.

I put on makeup. Then we put harnesses on dogs. Took them out to the FMF and loaded them.

Drove to Bunkerville to walk them at the soccer field. Tater was being stubborn and would not listen. The lesbian woman was there walking her dogs at the park across the street, so we had to put Tater on a leash. I had to pick up other dog poop. PBJR was REALLY running around. She feels so much better. 

PBJR AT PARK

RILEY & TATER AT PARK

There was water in the field across the fence and there were some ducks in it. Not much else. 

We gave the dogs water and then loaded them into the car. 

Hubby turned off Riverside Road to get the phone number for a truck that is for sale he wants. I took a picture and texted the phone number to him.

Drove to Smith's on Hafen Lane - there was a cop there in a car with his lights going to slow people down at the school - I waved at a couple girls that were walking to school. 

We shopped at Smith's to pick up milk and some groceries. 

We left the dogs in the car with the windows down. They had water in the car and it was cooler this morning. We parked in the closest handicapped stall next to the entrance. 

There was almost nobody in the aisles. There were stockers putting out items. LOTS of booze. There were 3 guys unloading cases of liquor that were stacked taller than me. 

We loaded groceries and drove home. 

FUEL PRICES MAY 5 2026

Drove home the back way. The new Fire Department station is open at the intersection of Canyon Crest Blvd and Horizon Blvd. There is thick oil they sprayed on the parking lot that has no access to the building. (are the employees to park there?) 

There are new street signs at the corner of Falcon Ridge Parkway and Horizon Blvd. 

At home, we unloaded the dogs. I put them outside and took off their harnesses.

Hubby brought in the groceries.

I checked to make sure we got rent from the guys renting out 140 Riverside building side.

Hubby left at 8:30AM with Tater in the FMF. 

I did bookwork until Noon. 

PBJR and Riley stayed outside for a couple hours on the dog beds, enjoying fresh air.

RILEY ON DOG BED OUTSIDE

I cleaned up the kitchen counter and put dishes into the dishwasher to wash. I put laundry in washer to clean. 

I gave dogs & cats fresh water, fresh food, and fresh ice in their bowls.

I picked up more dog poo out back. I emptied all the garbage in the house (again). Then I took it all out to the garbage can out front. 

I took Hubby's corn-on-the-cob off the stove after 45 minutes that was boiling. 

I put fresh water in the dog bowls outside on the patio.

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

MONDAY / MAY 5 / CLOUDY OVER MTNS / WINDY ALL DAY

 MONDAY

MAY 5 2026

Up at 5AM. Hubby was already sitting on my seat in the living room. I asked him to move so that I could sleep on the sofa. 

Hubby had been up with the dogs at 3:45AM and somebody had been walking on the sidewalk with dogs. Our dogs had to bark at them. 

I finally got up at 7AM. I was not feeling well at all. Tired. Exhausted. Hurting. It was bad. 

I got dressed. Hubby had already made the bed and put my jeans on the bed for me. 

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

There is some weird white cloud formation over the mountains and it feels moist outside. Looks similar to a dust storm, but clear like clouds?

HAZY CLOUDS OVER MOUNTAINS

I picked up dog poo. 

I did bookwork and paid Vehicle Insurance for the next six months. 

I did payroll for the week. Stuart sat on the desk while I did bookwork.

STUART ON DESK IN OFFICE

I had to "chat" online with Quickbooks to wipe out an error code that had popped up in Payroll.

Hubby cleaned cat litter. Hubby vacuumed the floor. He watched YouTube videos. 

Hubby took the white Jeep to work today. He left at 8:30AM. 

I started to make raisin banana bread, but it came out awful and I threw it down the drain. 

After I cleaned out the bread maker, I then made sour cream white bread instead. 

I picked up more dog poo outside. WIND IS BLOWING AGAIN VIOLENTLY.

I put laundry in the dryer. I cleaned out cat litter because it stank. I tried to vacuum, but the vacuum is broken. I will order another one from Costco.

Bread is done baking at 2:15PM. 

Hubby texted at 2:30PM to run some credit cards for customers invoices. 

SUNDAY / MAY 3 / DOG WALK / WENDYS BREAKFAST / BEAVER DAM DAYS / NAP / CLOUDS IN SKY

 SUNDAY

MAY 3 2026

Awake early in the AM. I went potty and slept on the sofa. Had an overwhelming feeling of dread. Something bad is going to happen. 

Riley came out at 3AM to drink water, then she went back to bed. 

I slept again, but cats woke me up by eating kibble on the table quite loudly. 

I climbed back into bed with Hubby and dogs then slept until 7AM. Dogs got up and Hubby let them out for potty.

I made the bed, then I went to take a shower. 

Hubby fed cats shredded cheese and tuna. He gave the dogs fresh water. 

Then Hubby took a shower. He also washed PBJR and Tater. They were still dirty from going down to the shop this week. 

We washed all the towels and the large dog blanket on our bed. 

We put harnesses on the dogs, loaded them into the car, and drove to Bunkerville to walk at the soccer park. Riley really ran everywhere. She was really happy. Got to chase several birds. PBJR was even walking better. She is losing weight and feeling better. Tater ran, too. We happened to see a dog running next to a motorcycle and got all the dogs loaded in the car quickly. The dogs had water in the car. 

RILEY OUT THE WINDOW

We drove to Wendy's and got a chicken sandwich for me, breakfast potatoes, and a sausage egg & cheese biscuit for Hubby. 

We drove home. I was not really hungry at home because I ate too many of the breakfast potatoes. 

I made more hot water. We put cats in our bedroom. Put Rattler in the front room with water, food, and potty because Stuart was fighting with him. 

We left Tater and PBJR at home while we took Riley in the white Jeep and drove the back way to Beaver Dam. On the way down the boulevard, Hubby accelerated too quickly and got a DEATH WOBBLE in the Jeep that he said he would fix this week. He has the parts at the shop. It was scary. 

At the Beaver Dam Jam, Hubby looked for Eric, Eric's dad. We walked all over and finally found Eric down by the red food van. Eric could not find his dad. Finally found out that his dad HAD LEFT JUST MINUTES BEFORE WE GOT THERE. 

Riley got petted by some nice kid that asked to pet her. He was a polite kid. 

We walked past a huge kennel with Jim's dog Michael (Eric's brother) in it. He barked loudly at Riley. Some Bloodhound, Saint Bernard mix. 

So Hubby hung out with Eric, got a beer. Hubby took off with Eric's friend that had a refrigerator go-kart. I hung out with Riley. It got hotter and I was sweating. My right knee was hurting badly. I do not do well in the heat with my Lupus. 

HUBBY IN GO-KART REFRIGERATOR

Hubby got back and we had to leave. Jim's brother walked to our Jeep with us and Hubby gave him the gun that he needs to fix. 

We left there, drove to the Maverik station so Hubby could buy lottery tickets. He came out with Drumsticks to eat. They were NOT good and tasted like plastic. We both threw ours out the window on the side of the road.

At home, I unloaded Riley. 

I was almost collapsing from exhaustion, I put the chicken sandwich from Wendys in the microwave, made tea. I sat down on the sofa. Took a nap from 2 to 4PM. 

Got up at 4PM and did bookwork. 

Storm over the mountains and the mesa. It seemed to pass around us. No rain. Just dark clouds everywhere. 

STORM OVER MOUNTAINS

At 6PM, We took the dogs to Bunkerville and walked them in the soccer park again. They had lots of fun. The gate was open again, so Hubby had to close it.

We gave the dogs water and I had picked up several dog poos, so I had to put those in the garbage can.

We drove home. 

Unloaded dogs and Hubby sat down to watch YouTube videos. 

Dogs were dog-tired and collapsed on the floor when we came inside the house.

DOG TIRED

I did some more bookwork. Hubby bought A LOT OF STUFF ON AMAZON FOR THE SHOP THIS WEEKEND. So I had to log all that into the bookwork.

SATURDAY / MAY 2 / DOG WALK / SHOP / CREDIT UNION / UPS RETURNS / SHOP AGAIN /

SATURDAY

MAY 2 2026

Awake at 6AM, but did not get out of bed until 7AM. Dogs kept getting restless. 

Riley and PBJR jumped on my kidneys. Then Tater rolled over onto me. Hubby got up out of bed and went to the bathroom. 

I fell back to sleep for a couple minutes. 

Then I got up and dressed.

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

Hubby cleaned the cat litter. 

We put harnesses on the dogs and loaded them into the car. We drove to Bunkerville (had to drive past the old fucking man on the corner with the Dump banners. fucking mentally ill people).

Some idiot had to STOP AT THE ROUNDABOUT. Had to motion to make them go. More mentally ill people that don't know how to drive. 

Then we finally got out to Bunkerville and walked the dogs. I picked up SEVERAL piles of other people's dog shit. Yippee.

PBJR AND TATER IN CAR ON THE WAY TO BUNKERVILLE

Riley barked and ran after birds. PBJR is walking much better. They all ate grass. Even Tater ran around a lot. They all rolled around on the grass. 

PBJR RESTING ON THE COOL, GREEN GRASS AT THE SOCCER FIELD IN BUNKERVILLE

We gave the dogs water and loaded them into the car. 

Drove back to Mesquite and made a deposit of customer's check at the Credit Union. Drove to the shop and dropped off shocks (saw a bunch of Broncos, Jeeps, UTVs, Toyotas drive by on their way to a ride up the mountains-Casablaca Casino is doing a 4WD Event and did not get hold of us. The ONLY 4WD shop in town. Assholes)

I was up at 4AM when Tater was pushing me out of bed. I slept on the sofa for a while, then woke up with explosive diarrhea. 

I went back to the sofa. Hubby got up with the dogs at 5AM to let them out for potty.

We all went back to bed and slept until 7AM. 

Hubby got up and put away dishes. I made the bed.

I put out the shower things for Hubby to take a shower. He got dressed afterwards. 

Imade a hot cinnamon/honey/vanilla latte for him. I made hot tea for myself. 

We put harnesses on the dogs and loaded them into the FMF. We drove to Bunkerville to walk at the soccer field. Riley found a golf ball. We threw it for her. PBJR is walking much faster now after putting her on kibble and she IS LOSING WEIGHT. Tater even ran a little while and his leg seems much better now. Did not need surgery. 

We gave the dogs water. I threw away the empty water bottles and poop bags. We loaded the dog in the FMF and drove home. 

At home, I got out with the dogs. Hubby drove to the shop so customers could pick up vehicles today. 

I had to put dogs outside. I picked up dog poop. 

I cleaned cat litter (again) which Hubby had not done. 

I started laundry and put laundry in dryer. I put clean laundry away.

I did bookwork. 

At 2PM, Hubby asked if we wanted to go with him to Vegas and drop off shocks at Vital Motion (Robert's) and I said no. Then I called back and said come pick us up. 

By 3PM, he was still not here. He said he got hit by 6 customers that came in and wanted services set up. So he was doing invoices. 

(Hubby had actually forgotten the shocks and was almost home-he had to turn around and go pick them up from the shop)

I went out and sat on the patio to throw BALLS for Riley. Hubby finally got home and the dogs barked at him as he came out on the patio.

We got harnesses on the dogs and loaded them into the FMF. 

We drove to Vegas. A couple cops pulled out on to the Interstate at Moapa, but they sped up and pulled out of sight. 

In Vegas, we stopped at Robert's shop. All the dogs got out and went to greet all the mechanics at the shop and Robert. 

Hubby dropped off the shocks. He picked up the other ones that he had dropped off on Monday. 

We left there, drove across the street so the dogs could potty. Riley ran after birds. 

We then drove to 8 Turn Crepe in North Las Vegas just of the 215. I stayed in the car while Hubby went to buy crepes. He got the Chicken Thai. He purchased the Philly Cheesesteak for me, but they added roasted peppers when he asked for them to add them. He had to take it back inside and make them re-do it.

8 TURN CREPE RESTAURANT

We found a park nearby and took the dogs to a nearby park. We ate our crepes. Then we walked the dogs around. Riley ran after birds while on the leash. Some people came to visit the park with kids that were going to play soccer. 

We gave the dogs water and then loaded them into the FMF. 

GAS PRICES IN VEGAS. WHAT A JOKE. PROBABLY FORGOT THE $6 IN FRONT OF THE .95

Drove back home to Mesquite. 

At home, unloaded dogs.

We watched Leverage re-run episodes on TV. 

Went to bed at 9:30PM. I was exhausted.

Hubby put the dogs out again for potty. He gave tuna and shredded cheese to the cats. He re-filled the dog food bowls with kibble. He got dressed. 

I gave Hubby a candle stuck into the raspberry fritter that we purchased at Smith's yesterday morning. I sang Happy Birthday to him. I gave him the cards from me and the dogs & cats. 

I picked up another 12 piles of dog poop from the back yard. I still think the dogs are pooping too much. 

We put harnesses on dogs and loaded them into FMF. 

Stopped to pick up the mail from the post box. It was the NV DMV tag for the Dually and a birthday card from Hubby's brother. 

We drove out to Bunkerville to walk, but there were dogs there already. We were late getting going and it was already 7:30AM. We walked there very early at 6AM yesterday morning.

Drove to the Info Center and let the dogs roam. Riley barked at birds. 

The mobile Meth Lab RV pulled in and parked. We put the dogs on leashes. Gave them water and loaded them into the car. We drove home. 

At home, unloaded the dogs. Changed PBJR to her pink collar and took off all the dog harnesses. 

PBJR and Hubby left in the FMF for the shop. However, Hubby was back in a few minutes because he left his phone at home. My phone was still in the car. 

PBJR JOINS HUBBY AT THE SHOP- SUPERVISING PETTING FROM CUSTOMERS

I vacuumed up cat litter in the armoire, put laundry in washer and started it. Put dishes in dishwasher and started it. 

I finished packing all the gift bags for the Virgin Valley 4x4 Club POKER Run tomorrow. Hubby will get together all the raffle gifts today.

I took a couple Benadryl because my left eye is still watering, swollen, and itchy. I am also sneezing.

Found the BAD CAT - Stuart - had peed on Hubby's side of the counter next to the sink in the master bathroom. I had to clean that up. There was also poop stains on the carpet in our bedroom. I had to clean that up, too.

At 10:30AM, I washed and conditioned my hair. 

I put the dogs out a couple times. 

I did bookwork.

Hubby had me fill out some paperwork application for a vendor, but ended up not buying from them. 

I completely filled all the 25 goodie bags for tomorrow's Poker Run. I stapled the business card on the paper sacks and some of them had been torn apart by the cats, so I had to re-do those. 

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

I played BALL with Riley outside. 

Hubby got home early at 4PM. We both got changed for dinner. 

HUBBY ENJOYS BIRTHDAY DESSERT (THAT REUBEN GIFTED US)

We took the Jeep to dinner. Parked in the side lot. Hubby did not want the valet to touch it. 

Both of us were just too stuffed. After eating Filet & Lobster for me; Hubby had Steak & Shrimp. Reuben had gifted us an ice cream cone with fruit, but I could not eat it. Ate too much tonight. 

We came back to the house after dinner. Let the dogs outside for potty.

Then Hubby brought in the groceries and unloaded them. Put them away.

I went to make the bed while Hubby vacuumed the house and cleaned cat litter. 

I took a shower and washed my hair. I washed all the dogs. Riley walked in first by herself, then I washed PBJR and finally Tater. Hubby had to chase PBJR down as she ran to the hallway. RAN.

Stuart ran out earlier and came in with Hubby for the last time at 6AM. 

Hubby got up and put out kibble for the dogs. Then he made a burrito for himself. 

I woke up at 7AM after sleeping on the sofa most of the night. I hurt so badly, but did not want to take a hot bath as my whole body was burning. 

I got dressed. Hubby had already made the bed. 

Then I went to the kitchen to make a hot cinnamon/honey/vanilla latte for him. I made hot tea, hot plain latte, and Nanogreens for myself.

I went to pick up the dog poop. 21 loads of poop. That is 7 poops per dogs. WAY TOO MUCH.

I threw all of it in the garbage cannister on the side of the house.

I came inside and Hubby had all the dirty clothes in the washer. I started it. 

I put away clean dishes. 

The wind is blowing. It is cooler. There are dark clouds everywhere. BUT NO RAIN here. 

Rain in mountains. Rain in Scenic. Rain in Bunkerville. 

We put harnesses on dogs and loaded them into the FMF.

Drove to Bunkerville to walk dogs in the soccer field.

CANADIAN GEESE IN WETLANDS

MALLARDS & DUCKS AT WETLANDS

CRANE AT WETLANDS

We observed all the birds at the wetlands. Just because it rained in Bunkerville yesterday, a small wetlands appeared and they were enjoying eating bugs there.

Dogs played in the soccer field. Everybody got to be OFF LEASH today. Nobody was around, nobody in the park across the street, nobody coming to church. They all had fund. Munching grass, running, sniffing. 

DOGS AT PARK

PBJR AT PARK NEXT TO OLD HORSE AREA

The people living next to the soccer park had moved. All their personal belongings gone and the horses with horse trailer are gone. Did they move? No more flies. 

PBJR was disappointed not seeing her horse friends.

We gave the dogs water after doing a whole circuit of the park. Then we loaded them into the car. 

Drove to Walmart and washed the car at Falcon Ridge Car Wash.

Drove home. Hubby made egg bites and sausage for my breakfast in the air-fryer. 

Then he made bacon and bacon roll-ups in the oven. 

I washed and conditioned my hair.

I did bookwork and blogged. Hubby took a nap in my office on the chair. 

I put away bacon roll ups, cleaned up the kitchen. Put the harnesses on the dogs. 

We drove to GS Nails to get our pedicures. Left the dogs in the car to wait while we got Pedicures. It was a cool, cloudy day and we left water in the car for them. Checked on them often.

My back was uncomfortable because Andy's chairs have already broken down after only a year. The rollers are poking into my back. Andy brought over a cushion for me to sit against. 

There was a stupid woman that was there before us that acted like she did not know that Andy did not take checks or credit. She was arguing with him. Then she finally went to get $ from the ATM, but did not bring enough back. She was $10 short. What a fucking asshole.

It took a long time today to get nails done. Finally finished and Hubby got his nails done. 

We left there and drove out to Bunkerville to walk the dogs again at the soccer park. There was ABSOLUTELY nobody in the park. There was another big party at the other park, tho. 

We walked the dogs, gave them water, loaded them in the car.

Drove to the shop because Oscar had called and somebody wanted to buy the utility trailer, but we had to make a Bill of Sale for them. We stopped at the shop and Hubby hung up t-shirts while I made the document. 

We left there and drove to Walmart. Picked up our grocery order. 

Drove home. Unloaded groceries. Not very much today because feeding dogs kibble instead of eggs. 

At home, Hubby fell asleep on the sofa for 2 hours.

SATURDAY / APR 25 / SHOP / DOG WALK / DOG WALK /MCDONALDS / PACK BAGS FOR POKER RUN / DOG WALK

SATURDAY

APRIL 25 2026

I was up at 4AM to potty; PBJR was sucking on her blanket so hard that I thought she was choking. I got up and checked on everybody.

Then at 5AM, Hubby let the dogs out for potty and went back to bed. 

I was awake again at 5:30AM. I went to sleep on the sofa in the living room. Riley was sleeping in the living room and jumped on the sofa with me. I had to go potty again. 

I took a hot bath. Then dressed. At 6PM, Hubby was up. 

I put out kibble for the dogs. No more eggs. Poop is too runny. I went to the kitchen to make hot tea and Nanogreens for myself. Hubby put out shredded cheese and tuna for the cats. 

I did bookwork. 

I made the bed. 

I cleaned the kitchen and put dirty dishes in dishwasher. Started dishwasher.

Washed dog blankets. Put them in dryer. 

We put harnesses on dogs and left at 7:30AM. Hubby had to meet a customer at the shop to drop off a UTV. 

We then drove to Bunkerville to walk dogs. Riley got in some really great running across the field, but then some woman with her two off-leash dogs got there and could not wait. We walked on the far side of the field, walked thru the gate and around the front of the court building. Loaded dogs into car after giving them fresh water. PBJR saw the other dogs and went into "defense mode"; I could barely get her to move. 

We drove to McDonalds to get a "big breakfast" for me and a sausage biscuits for Hubby.

We drove to the shop to see if I could sign into Lycos that way, but the system is still down. Will not let me sign into it. 

We left there and drove to find another place for a dog walk. 

At Riverside and Old Mill Road, Hubby saw the water bubbling thru the man hole cover and called the emergency number for Virgin Valley Water. The guy answered right on the first ring and said it was the over-flow for the drain water thru town. 

SAW THE RODEO IN TOWN BEHIND THE NEW HOLIDAY INN HOTEL. Lots of dumb people crossing the street without looking. Lots of horses. Lots of stinky horse shit smell.

We drove to the Info Center, but there was a woman walking a HUGE dog there. Then we went to the soccer field on the top (where the broken glass still sits on the ground everywhere at the entrance) and walked the dogs at the grass on the top of the hill. There was another woman there, too. She was at the bottom of the hill at the other entrance. We kept our dogs away from there. 

Drove home. 

Unloaded dogs at home. Gave them fresh water, fresh ice in their bowls. Then I went outside and gave them fresh water in their bowls on the patio.

At home, I packed the bags for the Virgin Valley 4x4 Club Poker Run. They got mini tool kit, mini tape measure, peppermint candy, RMOR gaiters, mini soap, mini hand creams, mini hand sanitizer, 3 lip balms, our RMOR plastic key chain, a beach ball, mini nail files, mini bath bombs, mini eyepatches, mini face masks. 

I took a nap for a while. Hubby watched YouTube videos.

I got up at 5PM, we loaded the dogs into the FMF and drove out to Bunkerville again to walk them. 

RAIN STORM OVER THE MOUNTAINS

After walking them, we drove to Littlefield to get fuel at TA Express. Hubby went inside to get Drumsticks for us as there are no more places to get ice cream any where around here!

He also got a couple slices of pizza for himself, bought lottery tickets.

We drove home. 

AFTER DOG WALK NAP IN BACK OF CAR

At home, it started sprinkling. I dragged the dog beds in from the patio.

Dogs took naps.

We watched old episodes of Leverage on TV. Then went to bed at 9:30PM.

 FRIDAY

APRIL 24 2026

I was up at 2:30AM with incredible heat in my body. So very much pain. PBJR was sleeping on my let. I had to easily get up so as not to disturb her. 

I slept on the sofa for a while. Hubby let the dogs out at 5AM. Then he went back to bed.

Tater was up again twice and whining, but I tried to let him out and he did not want to go out. 

I went back to sleep on the sofa. 

Hubby got up and fed the dogs breakfast eggs he made. He gave the cats some shredded cheese and tuna. 

Rattler ate, then vomited all of his tuna. Hubby cleaned it up.

The Landscaper guy called at 7AM and said his guys would be there in a few minutes. 

Hubby hurriedly got dressed. I met the guys when they rang the front doorbell. I met them around the side and let them in the gate. Hubby came out thru the garage side man-door.

I got dressed. Hubby finished getting dressed. I made the bed. I put the dirty laundry in the washer and started it. I got Tater's blanket out of the dryer. 

The guys hurriedly got everything done by 8:30AM. 

FIGHTER JETS OVER MESA

GUYS PUTTING DOWN ROCK IN BACKYARD

CLEANING OFF STREET FOR ROCKS IN BACKYARD

While they were cleaning up, 6 jets from the Air Force Base went over the mesa and above the houses very low. I got pictures of them!

We took the dogs to the Info Center and walked them. Riley had lots of fun running around and barking at the birds. 

Then we drove out to Bunkerville and walked them in the soccer park. There was a party going on at the park across the way. Riley ran around without leash. The horses and the people living there are gone. Moved out?

We drove back home after walking. 

Hubby worked on Honey-Dos today. Installed new toilet seats. 

At 5PM, Hubby and I started prepping in the kitchen to make Stuffed Peppers. 

I made long grain and wild rice. Hubby fried up grass fed hamburger, onions, 

By 8PM, the stuffed peppers came out of the oven.

BLANCHED PEPPERS

STUFFING MIX FOR PEPPERS

We put harnesses on the dogs at 7PM and drove to Bunkerville again.

The sun was setting over the mesa as we drove and saw an amazing sunset. 

SUNSET OVER THE MESA FRIDAY NIGHT

We walked the dogs in the grassy park. Grass was wet. Dogs had fun. Then some kids came and were going to play in the park. We put leashes on dogs again. Gave them water after the walk. Loaded dogs into FMF and drove home.

By 8PM, the stuffed peppers came out of the oven.

BAKED STUFFED PEPPERS

We watched some TV. 

I took a hot bath at 10PM. We went to bed.

I was up at 4AM to potty and sleep on the sofa. 

Then at 5AM, Hubby let the dogs out for potty and went back to bed. 

I was awake again at 5:30AM. Riley was sleeping in the living room and jumped on the sofa with me. I had to go potty again. Then dressed.

THE WIND IS STILL VIOLENTLY BLOWING AGAIN. 

Hubby came out to make breakfast eggs for the dogs. I went to the kitchen to make hot tea and Nanogreens for myself. I put out shredded cheese and tuna for the cats. 

I did bookwork. 

I put away clean dishes. 

Hubby helped make the bed. 

I cleaned the kitchen and put dirty dishes in dishwasher. Started dishwasher.

Washed dog blankets. Put them in dryer. 

Hubby let at 8:30AM with PBJR. 

Hubby had to bring Plumber butt home at Noon, so he stopped and dropped off PBJR so I would not have to meet him at the DMV tonight after work. 

Hubby has an appointment at 3:30PM to get his DL transferred to Real ID. 

I fed the dogs their supplements. 

I put away clean clothes and clean dishes. 

I am tired and want to take a nap.

Hubby got home at 5PM. I was out in the back yard playing BALL with Riley.

Hubby had bought me another one of the flowers at Smith's which I had TOLD him not to do. It was a pretty blue. But 

Hubby had stopped at Smith's to get groceries and milk. 

We watched TV. Hubby was falling asleep by 9PM on the sofa. We went to bed.
