FRIDAY / AUG 7 / DOG WALK / CLOUDS / SUPER HOT WITH HUMIDITY /

FRIDAY

AUGUST 7 2026

I was up early and put Rattler out of our room. Shut the door and locked it.

Stuart scratched at the door and tried pulling the handle for hours. Finally, I realized that HE WAS IN BED WITH US. I thought I had put him outside of our room. 

So at 2:30AM, I was up again and put Stuart out. Locked the door again. Hope he did not poop in our room.

Up at 4:15AM when the alarm rang. 

Hubby made the bed. 

I put the dogs out. 

I gave shredded cheese and tuna to the cats. I put out dog kibble for the dogs. 

Hubby gave the dogs clean water. I started the ice maker.

I made a hot latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself.

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

Drove to Bunkerville. Walked dogs in soccer park. They had mowed, so the big gates was wide open. Doesn't anybody ever close anything behind them?

It is much easier to keep track of Tater side we put a "blue light special" on his collar. A little clip-on blue light. Makes it easier to find him in the dark.

I threw BALL for Riley. PBJR panted and walked next to us.

We gave them water. All of them were exhausted from the heat & humidity. 

I walked to the garbage can and threw away the empty water bottles. 

Loaded them into the Dually. Drove back home with windows up and A/C on full blast.

At home, unloaded dogs. Took off harnesses. The baby brawlers collapsed on the cool floor tiles. 

I went to the sofa and napped until 10AM. Hubby sat on the sofa and bought some parts on eBay, then he napped, too.

Hubby got up and cleaned cat litter. 

I made more hot tea. I picked up dog poop outside. Hubby put away clean laundry.

I played BALL with Riley. PBJR and Tater came outside and sat in the sunshine.

RILEY PLAYING BALL

I did bookwork. Hubby went down to get mail as I had been notified that my HRT cream was delivered at the mailbox this morning. Odd that mail never comes at 10AM in the day...

Hubby put the cream in the fridge to cool it down. 

Tried on the new dog harnesses and they did not fit. Have to return them to Amazon.

UPS delivered my diet drug injections. They were still ice cold. We put them in the fridge. 

I put on my new Wooden Ships dark blue sweater, some makeup. Straightened my hair again. I looked good. 

Hubby left at 1:15PM when he got a call from the FedEx shipper to pick up his return on a pallet. 

He also was going to stop at the UPS Store to drop off Amazon returns.

He forgot his Bill of Lading and Return Authorization in his money bag, so had to return to the house for it.

Then he left again.

I did bookwork. Bought Xmas decor on Amazon for the Wood Shim Xmas trees that I will build for customers this year as the Free Purchase gift. 

Hubby was back with the Jeep at 2:15PM. He had the new sun shade that had been delivered for the Jeep. It did not fit. We will have to return it.

At 5PM, ordered new bathing suit for me and cargo shorts for Hubby thru Old Navy.

Hubby left for St George in the Dually. He has to pick up/return parts. He also stopped at The Crepery to get crepes for us. While he was there waiting for the food, he drank his favorite hot latte there. In a mug. He said the mug makes it better.

I went to the sofa and napped until 9AM. 

Hubby was back by 9AM and dropped off the crepes. Then he left for the shop.

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

We got into the hot tub at 6PM. 

Stuart went outside. He had to be let inside because he was hot. 

We watched heat lightning in the mountains all night. It was scary. Hope no fires start.

SUNSET

Then Stuart went outside just before bed at 9PM. 

Rattler escaped just before bedtime. I had to walk over to the neighbors to get him. Hubby stood on the patio while I got him with a flashlight. Had to carry him back. He had been rubbing up against one of the rocks in the neighbor's yard.

We went to bed.

WEDNESDAY / NO DOG WALK / SLEPT LATE /

I dressed. Hubby made the bed. 

I went to the kitchen and made a hot latte for him, a hot tea & Nanogreens for myself.

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

I warmed up a sausage and a hashbrown in the air-fryer but was not hungry.

I put dirty laundry in washer. I put away clean dishes from the dishwasher.

I went outside at 11AM to play BALL with Riley. Tater came out with us, then PBJR came out. It was too hot to be outside long. 

Watched TV for a while. 

PBJR AND TATER ON THE SOFA

I went outside at 4PM to play BALL with Riley.

Hubby called me at 4:30PM to ask me for the address for the HOA to mail the package. 

IF HE HAD LISTENED TO ME AND DONE IT CORRECTLY, HE WOULD NOT NEED TO BE CALLING ME. 

He mailed the envelope at the Post Office. He is mailing the blueprint package at The UPS Store. Now, the HOA will receive the documents separately. WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT. 

Again, he did not listen to me. He did it wrong. 

WHY? 

I played BALL outside with Riley. PBJR and Tater slept on their dog beds sunning their bellies. 

We came inside after 10 minutes because it was too hot.

I watched TV. 

I put away more clean clothes. 

Hubby got home about 4:30PM. 

I did bookwork. 

Went to bed at 9PM.

TUESDAY / AUG 4 / DOG WALK ABORTED / DOG WALK AT INFO CENTER / NAP / GARBAGE DAY

TUESDAY

AUGUST 4 2026

Hubby & PBJR started snoring at 2AM. I got out of bed, went potty in the front room. Then tried to sleep on the sofa. But I could not. Too hot, my toe hurt too much. 

I got up and started the ice machine. 

I gave tuna & shredded cheese to the cats because Rattler started yelling. 

I sat quietly and looked at the Internet; Instagram & Reddit.

Hubby was up briefly at 3AM with Tater & Riley. I let them out. He went potty.

I woke everybody up at 4AM. 

I made my cheese, egg, cream cheese mixture.

Hubby made the bed & got dressed.

I changed my shirt. I put on my boots.

We put harnesses on dogs. I got the bright idea of putting a blinker on Tater so we could keep track of him at the park.

We loaded dogs into the Dually and drove to Bunkerville. 

The idiot guy from Idaho was there this morning with his dog, so we left and drove to the Info Center. 

Walked the dogs at the Info Center. There was a homeless guy there, blasting music. Idiot. 

We had the dogs on leashes and walked them around. Tater pooped. I picked it up. I threw BALLS for Riley. PBJR was quite animated and walked fast. 

We gave them water and loaded them into the truck.

Drove home. 

At home, unloaded dogs. 

I picked up dog poo and put it in the can. 

I had already put all the garbage out in the can yesterday, so nothing to collect today.

I warmed up my cheese, egg, cream cheese mixture in the Air Fryer. Then I had a little before I took a nap on the sofa. 

At 8:30AM, Hubby left for work. I was too tired to get up and he kissed me on the sofa. 

I got up and checked to make sure he put the garbage can outside in the street.

Hubby got home at 4:30PM. He did NOT go to the USPS. He had stopped at the credit union to cash a check. He had to call me because he did not know what to do with the check. 

When he got home, he was in a bad mood. He yelled at me for plugging in the heater for the hot tub.

He works at the shop all day and I will not tolerate his brother Bruce's behaviour of anger towards me. His brother is a piece of shit that screams at everybody and has a short temper. I have always hated him and only tolerated him because of Hubby.

I refused to speak with him for the rest of the night. 

I went to bed at 10PM.

I put away clean dishes and did another load. Put those dishes away.

Lots of news on Internet about Spokane, WA burning. Lots of fires by Prineville, OR, too.

I walked down to get the mail at 3PM, the neighbor, Dawn was leaving the house in her car, so stopped to chat with her while standing in the middle of the road. She complimented my short hair.

I went to the kitchen to make a hot latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself.

I put out kibble for the dogs. Taste of the Wild. We are out of the other. 

I put shredded cheese and tuna out for the cats. 

Hubby got dressed and made the bed. Then he put harnesses on the dogs and loaded the dogs into the truck.

I brought phones and drinks to the truck.

FUEL PRICES SUNDAY JULY 26 2026

We drove to Bunkerville. On the way, the temperature was 100°. It got done to 98° when we got to the park. WAY TOO HOT. No more walks in this weather. It almost killed us to walk around the park. The dogs barely made it; thankfully the grass was wet and made it cooler. The dogs were exhausted and collapse in the grass by the truck. They all drank copious amounts of water. 

We loaded the dogs into the truck and drove straight home. With the windows up and the A/C blasting.

At home, the dogs collapsed on the cool tile floor. They drank MORE water. 

I went to sleep on the sofa at 5:30AM.

Hubby got ice water for the dogs while I was napping.

I got up at 8:30AM. Hubby cleaned cat litter. We put away clean clothes. Hubby filled the soaking tub up 2" with the hose. We cleaned out Hubby's ear hair. I vacuumed the cat litter.

We put the cats in our room. 

Left in the Dually. Drove to Walmart to pick up groceries. Hubby waited while I went to rent a Rug-Doctor to clean the back room. Last time we cleaned the carpet, the dogs & cats had vomited/pissed/shit in there the DAY AFTER WE CLEANED. So it has stains in it from last time. 

WALMART PORTA-POTTIES

Walmart has water problems and the main line was dug up in the parking lot. Looks like they have no water inside, so bathrooms are closed. They have Porta-Potties out front.

Then we drove to the Shop to see if the A/C is working. Larry, the HVAC guy finished installing it last night. 

Afterwards, we drove home. 

Unloaded groceries and Carpet Cleaner. 

I put away groceries. 

Hubby decided to make food. He
