At 8:30AM, we put the cats in bedrooms. Left the dogs at home. Drove to GS Nails to get our pedicures at 9AM with Andy.

We drove to Beaver Dam to fill the Dually with Diesel. (HAVE TO GET A SMALL LOAN NOW TO BUY FUEL) We bought lottery tickets. Drove into Maverik (who had put up a lower price on Gas Buddy. There were cars 4 deep waiting, and semis 3 deep waiting) so instead we turned around and drove to TA Plaza that was supposed to be selling at $6.36 but it was priced at $5.85 at the pump.

Hubby bought Sbarro pizza. He had been hungry at the Pedicures. He had gotten me some tasteless Lipton tea.

We got into the hot tub at 2PM. Riley came out and swam with us. Then Hubby put things away. Oscar, the Landscaper was over at Amy's, the neighbors doing trimming. Not our place, tho. 

I played BALL with Riley in the back yard. PBJR and Tater laid down on the dog beds. Tater tried to play with a stuffed whale, but Riley got jealous and played tug-of-war with him. Both of them barking and growling. 

Riley dried off pretty fast. 

I got dressed. Then went to do bookwork in the office. 

Hubby sat down to watch TV, but his phone rang. 

Hubby went down to the shop at 3PM. Pat had called and wanted to borrow the trailer. Hubby had to take it over to his shop. 

Then Hubby stopped at Smith's to get groceries. He got some beer, frozen french fries, ribs, milk, cottage cheese, and sour cream. Over $100.

This is getting beyond ridiculous. Prices for groceries are up over 100-300%. What the actual fuck?

Fuel is up 65% Where the fuck are people supposed to get money to pay for all this?

Hubby made his ribs on the oven. Then he had some french fries warmed up in the air-fryer with a little ketchup. 

I warmed up my chicken/apple sausages in the air-fryer.

We went in the hot tub at 7PM. Soak for a little while, but had to get out early as we were sweating. It is too hot again.

I was hurting everywhere all night. Still hurting this morning.

Andy re-scheduled my new 2 months appointments because he is leaving again to take his Dad & Mom back to Vietnam so his Dad can do a religious ceremony before he dies. 

I was a bit irritated. I don't like him leaving. He will be gone when the majority of his customers are returning. 

I got done there and Hubby asked me to come pick him up at the shop to get vehicles that were at the Roadrunner Tires. I drove him up there and he got a Raptor pickup. Then I had to meet him at the store and take him back AGAIN to pick up another car.

I called the Desert Pain Clinic to make an appointment. I am TOTALLY sure that they are using an INDIAN service to make appointments. The stupid person kept putting me on hold without telling me. 

It took FOREVER for her to make the appointment. I have to wait another week to get the Prednisone injections in my hands. 

Hubby & Oscar brought PBJR home. They came at 4PM. They were SUPPOSED to be in Vegas picking up a truck that I arranged on Facebook Marketplace.

I gave PBJR a shower. Got her all clean from being at the shop today. She ran outside and dug around in the dog beds. 

They grabbed some drinks and left. They still had to go get the trailer. I checked at 5PM and they still were not even in Vegas yet.

I carried an extra ball in my pocket in case Riley lost hers, but we walked around. Hubby wanted me to take a picture of PBJR with her "underlighting". 

PBJR WITH GREEN GLOW

PBJR saw COWS.  She stayed for quite a while, standing by the fence watching all the cows. There was a little baby drinking milk from a mommy.

We kept on walking and I finally had to put a leash on PBJR to get her to come with us. 

A car pulled up across the street and a woman raced into the bathrooms. We thought they might be walking dogs, but by the time we got to the truck, they had gone.

DARK CLOUDS OVER MOUNTAINS

Then I made a huge crepe for Hubby so he can put burrito fixings into it. I heated it up on the back burner, which has controls COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY SET FROM THE FRONT. OMG. What stupid man does this? Of course, a MAN would design and engineer this. ALL the knob settings need to be the same. Because people have the habit of using the same switches over and over! MUSCLE MEMORY. I HATE MALE CEOS. I HATE MALE ENGINEERS.   

I made a regular size crepe for myself. I put chicken, bacon, mozzarella, &dill sauce (made with fresh dill & sour cream).

Watched TV for a while.

Dogs outside. Sat with them. Threw BALL for Riley.

SUNSET SUNDAY NIGHT

Went to bed at 9:30PM after I took Gabapentin and Prednisone. My right knee feels swollen. My bursitis bump on my right hip is hurting. My right hand is burning.

SATURDAY / SEPT 5 / DOG WALK / CREPES / VACUUM / WATER PLANTS /

SATURDAY

SEPTEMBER 5 2026

I slept in bed all night. I had taken another Gabapentin. Felt a little better. Still difficult to walk.

My alarm rang at 4AM. I woke up the gang. TIME TO MAKE THE DONUTS. Riley was squealing. Everybody wanted petted. 

I got dressed. Hubby got up and went potty, let the dogs outside. 

I made hot latte for hubby, hot tea for myself. 

I put out tuna and shredded cheese for the cats.

Put out clean water and cleaned the dog food bowls. 

Took dogs out to the garage to load them in truck, but forgot collars!

We put collars on dogs. 

Loaded dogs into Dually. I ran back inside to put on another shirt and a sweater. It is COLD outside. I will have to wear jeans soon! No more shorts. 

In Mesquite, the gas came down to $6.29 for Diesel. 

DIESEL IS AT $6.29 NOW

Drove to Bunkerville. 

Regular gas is still the same price. 

It was 76F degrees at home. 

It was 70F degrees by the time we got to the park. 

FALL HAS ARRIVED.

We walked the dogs. Tater lost his light. 

I threw BALL for Riley. PBJR walked off by herself. No cows today. LOTS OF STARS IN THE SKY TODAY. 

We got done with the walk. Gave dogs water. Loaded dogs into truck. I threw water bottles in the trash. 

We drove back to Mesquite. Drove home. 

I made the perfect crepe AGAIN. They were very filling. Hubby did not eat all of his he was so full. 

I put dirty clothes in washer. I put away clean clothes. Hubby vacuumed and cleaned cat litter. 

I went outside to pick up dog poop. Hubby had me get the hose and put more water in the hot tub.

SUNRISE SATURDAY MORNING

Hubby left at 8:30AM to meet the HVAC guy, Larry at the shop. They are reviewing how the A/C works and how to put in more A/C in the showroom and bathroom.

I did bookwork. I made more hot tea. I listened to the Jazz Alley Cats on YouTube.

I was actually sleeping sitting up on the sofa, next to Tater. I had my hand on him. Hubby called to tell me he was coming home. 

Then Hubby was down at the shop until NOON when he finally came home. 

I took a nap when Hubby came home. 

Hubby made a burrito. Even after I fed him Crepes this morning.

MORE CREPES

I woke up at 3PM. I went down to get the mail. My new hormone creams were there and had gotten warm. I put them in the fridge. 

The new SONOS MOVE had been delivered, so I brought it in and had a NOT fund time setting it up. Had to bluetooth add it to the phones, Had to add it to the SONOS app, Had to charge it. Had to find the WiFi Password. WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASS. 

I picked up dog poop outside, but Riley did not want to play BALL.

PBJR sat down beside me and I rubbed her all over. She was not impressed. 

PBJR OUT ON THE PATIO

We sat out in the sunshine for a while, then came back inside.

Hubby watched YouTube on TV. 

Hubby and I left at 7AM. We drove to Tractor Supply and got dog food. I wished the checkout girl a Happy Labor Day and she looked at me like I was an alien. 

Then we washed the Jeep at Falcon Ridge Car Wash. Had to drive thru several water pools all the way thru Mesquite.

We drove to Littlefield to get fuel and lottery tickets at Maverik.

Then we drove back to Mesquite and stopped at Smith's to get groceries. They did mnot have dog bones. 

They did not have egg bites. FORGOT OUR COUPONS IN THE TRUCK. We got milk, sushi, cookies, Honeycomb cereal, 

We got into the hot tub at 8PM. It was dark outside. We turned on the hot tub float lights in blue that I bought from Amazon.

I was really tired when we got out of the hot tub. We tried to watch the Apple TV show Slow Horses that EVERYBODY says is great. 

THE SHOW IS AWFUL. Slow. Trodding. Boring. No Point.

I took a painkiller and went to bed at 9:30PM.
