 SATURDAY

JUNE 6 2026

Up at 4AM when the dogs had to go out for potty. Hubby did not let PBJR out and I had to get up and open the bedroom door to let her out. I went back to bed. Hubby did not let her out, so I found her sitting in the living room. I put her outside. 

I went back to our room and found that Riley had pooped in our room. I stepped in it. She had pooped several times. All over. 

I went to use the potty, then dressed. 

I went to the front bedroom. She had pooped and vomited on the carpet there. I used the last bottle of our hydrogen peroxide to clean the carpet. 

I went to the kitchen. Dogs & Hubby stayed in bed until 5:15AM. 

I started the ice machine, gave the cats some shredded cheese and tuna. 

I made a hot tea for myself. I refused to make Hubby's latte as he is a big boy and can start doing things for himself. I am just very tired having to think for him, also. 

In Bunkerville, we let the dogs out with both Riley & Tater running around the park several times as we unloaded PBJR. We walked around the park the wrong way (into the sun) because we had to go close the gate. 

Some woman with 2 dogs on leashes parked near us by the building and took her dogs out of the car, walked around by the fence and went into the soccer area. So we are going to have to come earlier. 

Gave the dogs some water and loaded them in the car after the walk. 

Drove to the Info Center. The momma & daddy geese are still in the Riverside park with their 3 babies. The babies are SO big now. They were floating in the water pond again today.

At the Info Center, there was a homeless man sitting on the bench, so we decided not to walk the dogs there. This is the guys that scream bible verses out loud. 

We drove back home. Unloaded the dogs.

Oscar, the Landscaper, parked in front of our house. He was already in the back yard transplanting the huge plant in the corner like I asked him. Then later he transplanted the smaller baby plants along side of the house.

I let the dogs outside for potty and supervised them because Oscar had the side gate door open. 

We put together the blueprints from the Printer, loaded them in a circular mailing tube, wrote checks to HOA for review committee. 

Hubby and I left the dogs at home. We drove to the Printers and mailed the package; it cost $48.

Then we stopped at Walmart to pick up a Rug cleaner, some groceries, new dog bed blanket for PBJR, more hydrogen peroxide. 

I rented the Rug Doctor from the front entry way at the opposite end of the building. They used to have them at Customer Service but moved them.

We took everything out to the Jeep and loaded it. 

Drove home and unloaded all the groceries. Put the groceries away. Let the dogs out for potty. Oscar had left to get supplies. 

I made some chicken/cheese sausage from Walmart and at a little.

I took a nap from about NOON to 1PM. Hubby also fell asleep. Oscar rang the doorbell and said he was done. Hubby gave him $500.00 for the watering pipe, burying it, running the line down the side of the house. 

I got up and went to inspect it. He did not re-plant 2 of the baby plants that are in the rock river. I was very disappointed because we had discussed this. 

Hubby started cleaning the floor with the Rug Doctor. He was working from 2PM to 3PM. 

HUBBY CLEANING CARPET IN FRONT BEDROOM

I went outside to play BALL with Riley. PBJR and Tater laid down on the dog beds in the sun. 

I did my blog. I made more hot tea. I turned the A/C down to 70F. 

I conditioned my hair. 

I got everything out of the master bedroom closet floor and put it on the counters in the bathroom. Then Hubby Rug Doctor cleaned the closet carpet.

I also had him take the Rug Doctor out to the patio and I pre-cleaned the carpet, then he cleaned it, too. 

I STEAM CLEANED the floors. 

Put everything back away after the floors were cleaned. I rinsed my hair. We sat down to rest and watch TV for a while. 

It is very hot outside - 102F degrees. 

FRIDAY / JUNE 5 / DOG WALK / DOG WALK / ST GEORGE / JALAPENOS / PAY BILLS IN ST GEORGE / HARBOR FREIGHT/ DMV / GS NAILS / CHASTISING

FRIDAY

JUNE 5 2026

Up at 4AM when the dogs had to go out for potty, then Hubby loaded them back onto the bed and we went back to sleep until 5AM. 

I got up to potty, then dressed. 

I went to the kitchen. I started the ice machine, gave the cats some shredded cheese and tuna. 

Hubby was up with the dogs and let them out. 

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

We made the bed. Then loaded the dogs into the FMF and drove to Bunkerville. 

DOGS IN CAR ON THE WAY TO BUNKERVILLE

In Bunkerville, we let the dogs out with both Riley & Tater running around the park several times as we unloaded PBJR. We walked around the park the wrong way (into the sun) because we had to go close the gate. 

Gave the dogs some water and loaded them in the car after the walk. 

PBJR AND RILEY PLAYING IN GRASS AT INFO CENTER

Drove to the Info Center. The momma & daddy geese are still in the Riverside park with their 3 babies. The babies are SO big now. They were floating in the water pond today.

At the Info Center, we again released the dogs so they could run around. PBJR was on a leash and we walked around on the sidewalk. 

Tater and Riley both pooped.

We drove back home. Unloaded the dogs. Loaded the donation stuff for Deseret. 

Drove thru the Gorge to St George for Hubby's 10AM appointment at Costco for his hearing aids. But HE FORGOT TO WEAR HIS HEARING AIDS. It was too late to turn around and get them.

Instead, neither of us had eaten and we were getting Hangry. We drove to Jalapenos to get burritos. Hubby went inside to purchase them. They were NOT AS GOOD AS THEY HAD BEEN. 

We then drove to the Sandtown Park and walked the dogs. There was one guy walking a dog, but he left. We re-parked the car on the east side of the park. Walked around. We had to cut the walk short as PBJR was panting too much. It was a little hot but not bad in the shade. 

Both of us used the restrooms. I held the girls while Hubby took Tater in with him. I took PBJR in with me. Hubby held Tater and Riley.

After giving the dogs LOTS of water, we loaded them in the car (we ALWAY have more water in the bowl inside the car for them as we drive). 

We stopped at the IFA Farm store and I went to check on dog food, but they did not have the Royal Canin Satiety brand. 

We drove to Humphries to pay for Gas Cannisters that were being delivered to the shop as Oscar had called and arranged for his friend to bring them. We only had to stop in and pay for them. The price of the Gas has risen 75%. 

We then drove to Deseret Industries where a stupid woman in her car was blocking both donation lanes. But finally we got to the front and dropped off our donations. 

We stopped at Harbor Freight so Hubby could buy a DELUXE ROLL CART WITH DRAWERS. AND A SIDE TRAY MODIFICATION. For Oscar's bay at the shop. Hubby parked us in the shade at the side of the building. He paid for it, then we had to pull in front and get it loaded. Hubby did NOT tip the guys that loaded it in the back. It was heavy and took up all the room. Had to push the dog beds all the way to the front of the car. Riley sat on me from then on while Tater & PBJR were NOT happy in the back seat. 

We drove to Beans and Brews on South Mall Drive. Drove thru and got frozen lattes. 

Then we drove to Fleet Pride at the industrial area by the Airport. Hubby picked up some stuff there and paid for it. 

RILEY NAPPING IN CAR ON HUBBY AS WE DRIVE BACK FROM ST GEORGE

We had nothing more to do in St George, so we drove home. 

At home, we unloaded dogs. 

Hubby had been complaining that I was "chastising" him because I asked when he was going to fix the A/C on the car, the window in the back driver's side that won't roll down, and the sunroof that is now refusing to work and not seal properly. I get soaked with water when we go thru the car wash. The car is a pile of junk and he refuses to work on it. He told me that "when the shop slowed down in the summer, all the stuff would get fixed". 

I got upset and confronted him about it and now he says he refuses to fix anything. 

We had a big blow out and I was upset with him all night. 

Hubby got together his DMV paperwork and drove to the DMV. He said later that the road had been closed and there was a back up of cars up to the Holiday Inn Express on the hill. He thought he would not make his appointment. When he did get there, he did not have the proper signature on the paperwork, so he has to get hold of the people he bought it from and have their "uncle" sign it. So no title or registration for the new white shop truck yet. 

Hubby went to the shop and unloaded the cart that he bought from Harbor Freight.

Then he came home. 

We left the dogs at home and at 2:30PM, Hubby took me to get my nails done at GS Nails with Andy. Hubby then went to the America First Credit Union to cash a check, then he 

Hubby came to pick me up by 3:45PM. Blue, Green, Yellow nails. Not exactly what I wanted, but I let Andy polish what he wanted.

BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW NAILS

Left there and drove to Falcon Ridge Car Wash by Walmart to wash the Jeep again. 

At home, the dogs were happy to see us. 

Hubby fell asleep on the sofa again, as usual.

Went to bed at 9:30PM.

I went back to bed. Dogs got into bed with me.They were up again in 15 minutes. Hubby sat on the sofa. I went out at 4:45 to lay down and sleep on the sofa on Hubby's lap. Riley jumped up with her bone to sleep by my stomach and PBJR jumped on my feet - almost crushed them. 

Hubby started the ice maker, I got dressed. Hubby put hot tuna and shredded cheese for cats. 

Hubby let the dogs out again. I made a hot latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself.

Hubby got dressed. I made the bed. 

We put harnesses on dogs and loaded them into the car. I took my rain boots so I would not get wet in the soccer field. 

Drove to Bunkerville. Past the shop. Hafen Lane is still closed. 

We unloaded dogs at park. Riley ran to the other side of the park several times chasing birds. Tater was running everywhere. I picked up poop from Tater. The gate was closed this time. 

We gave the dogs water after the walk and loaded them in the car. 

We drove to the Info Center in Mesquite to walk the dogs. There was a homeless guy there sitting on the bench, so after Tater and Riley ran to the other side of the center, we called them back and put Tater on a leash. Then we went on our walk. 

Afterwards, we gave them water and loaded them into the car. 

Drove home. 

I let the dogs inside the house, took off their harnesses. Hubby put away clean clothes from last night's laundry. 

I put away all the stuff that was on the counters in the bathroom so the cleaner does not knock anything over.

Hubby vacuumed the house. He put egg bites and sausage in the air fryer for me.

Hubby had me book an appointment at the DMV so he can register the white new F350 shop truck.

The Window cleaner, Josh rang the doorbell at 8AM. He will clean the outside windows first while it is still cooler.

I picked up dog poop which I had forgotten. 

Dogs went outside again. 

Hubby left for the shop in the white Jeep at 8:40AM. 

I did bookwork.

PBJR went outside by herself to sit in the sun and heat.

The window cleaner left at 11AM. I paid him.

I put away clean clothes. I put dishes in the dishwasher and started it. I put all my stuff back that I had stored away when the cleaner was here. 

I tried to take a nap because I was so tired, but the dogs kept wanting to go outside. 

I put away clean dishes. 

PBJR AND STUART SHARING DOG FOOD

Hubby got home late at 4:30PM. He was supposed to go attend the Kokopelli UTV Club meeting, but he fell asleep on the sofa (more heat exhaustion) and slept for 3 hours. 

HUBBY & STUART SLEEPING ON SOFA

When he woke up, he made himself some dinner. 

I took a hot bath. Had to clean out the tub from where the window cleaner had stood his ladder in the tub and left it dirty. I accidentally stepped on Robert's tail when he sat on the towel next to the tub. He screamed and left. 

We watched TV. Went to bed at 9:30PM.

Hubby made bacon and ham in a pan on the stove. I warmed up sausages and sourdough bread slice in the air-fryer. Hubby warmed up his burrito.

Hubby fixed Tater's electric collar and put it on him. The dog had broken the plastic piece that holds the mechanism together. Tater had almost knocked me down when exiting from the car today when I let them out. He needs to learn to wait. 

I did bookwork. I picked up dog poo outside. I filled the dog water and the bird dish outside on the patio.

FUEL PRICES TUESDAY JUNE 2 2026

At home, we unloaded dogs. 

Hubby made himself breakfast. At 8:30AM, he left with PBJR in the FMF. 

I did bookwork. I watched TV. 

At 10:30AM, I left Tater and Riley at home to go get my broken thumb nail fixed at GS Nails. 

Andy was almost sick when he saw how much I had broken on my nail. He cleaned it up and put on a new nail. 

Then I left GS Nails and drove to the shop. I had to park at an angle in the shop door because there were no parking spots. Oscar and his wife had given Hubby some fingernail polish to put on PBJR's toenails. I tried to do one foot, but the polish was too dried out. Oscar took a video of it and sent it to his wife, Brooklyn. I tried to hook up the new wi-fi on the cameras, but they would not hook up. I got hot and frustrated so I left with PBJR in the FMF. I left the Jeep at the shop with Hubby so he could drive it home.

I drove home. Put the FMF in the driveway. Brought the garbage can inside the fence. I saw a VERY LONG GECKO run by the sidewalk on the side of the house and go under the fence to the neighbors. He must have been 10" long and very skinny. 

I forgot to shut the garage door for a couple hours. 

I put away clean dishes. I played BALL with Riley outside. 

After Hubby closed the shop, he drove to the printers to pick up our blueprints, stopped at Smith's to get groceries and his prescription, dropped off returns at the UPS Store. 

Then Hubby got home. The dogs heard the Jeep. They were happy to see him. All the cats came to see him, too. 

Hubby did not feel good. I think he got heat exhaustion. He ate the 1/2 of a bun that I had made with turkey, mayo, and lettuce. Then he sat on the sofa and slept after drinking tea. 

I took a nap on the sofa for 1 hour. 

Hubby got up and went to the bedroom. I closed the shades for him. 

Hubby came out of the bedroom after 1 hour and sat on the sofa to watch TV.  He fell asleep again. I got up at 9PM and made the bed. Then he went to bed with the dogs. 

I could not sleep and stayed up until MIDNIGHT. Then I went to bed. Covered Tater with a blanket. Had to push him over to get in the bed.

Water had lots of air in it. The spare bathroom in the front of the house was making an awful noise. 

Hubby said they probably blew out another water line someplace. 

Heard heavy equipment when I opened the sliding glass door to the rear patio. 

Let the dogs out for potty. 

I started the ice maker, gave cats tuna, and shredded cheese. 

I took another hot shower today. It made me feel a little bit better. At least my right ear is not hurting today. I am still putting antibiotic cream on it.

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

We put harnesses on dogs and they were loaded in the car by 5:30AM.

I brought my rain boots this time and stayed dry. Heard the dogs howling in the farm by the Interstate. 

There was a farmer there with an end loader picking up the square hay bales they had done yesterday.

We walked dogs and then gave them fresh water. Riley ran everywhere. ALL the dogs pooped and I picked up. 

FUEL AT SMITH'S MONDAY JUNE 1 2026

We loaded the dogs and drove to the Info Center. We could not let them run wild there as a homeless individual was sitting on the seat by the building. We kept to the other end of the park.

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

Drove home. At home, unloaded dogs and let them outside for potty.

Hubby made himself burrito and eggs. I warmed up a bagel that we had purchased yesterday at Smith's. 

I did bookwork and paid bills. Then we all went outside to sit on the patio because it was still cool outside this morning. 

Hubby cleaned cat litter at 8:20AM. Then he left in the white Jeep for the shop. 

I did more bookwork.

The door on our Electrolux Washing machine door won't close. The ceiling fan in the living room is making noise. What else could go wrong?

I put away clean dishes. I picked up more dog poo. I played BALL with Riley. It was very hot outside today.

I was extremely exhausted by the time Hubby got home. I was almost falling asleep.

Hubby got home at 4:30PM. He stopped at UPS Store and gave them some Amazon returns. He drove out to Flying J to get fuel and JoJo's for dinner. He brought me back a cherry Slushie, but it was too sugary to drink.

Hubby looked at the washer and determined that the strike plate was broken and that the electric control was ok. We ordered a striker plate on Amazon. The reason the fan was making clunking noise because it was turned up. Just had to turn it back to normal.

Hubby sat down to watch YouTube TV. I did bookwork.

PBJR SMILING WHEN GETTING BUTT SCRITCHES FROM DADDY

At home, we unloaded the dogs. I let them in the backyard. I picked up dog poo. 

Hubby cleaned cat litter. There was also vomit on the table we had to clean up. It was Rattler vomiting his tuna and cheese.

I barely had the strength to make myself another tea. Then I slept on the sofa for the rest of the day. I hurt all over. Hubby watched YouTube shows on TV. 

I got up late and just sat around like a zombie. 

Hubby washed the comforter and dog blankets. I had loaded the dishes in the dishwasher and started it. He put the dishes away.

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

We put harnesses on dogs. Hubby was obsessed about losing his keys for the shop. He needs to meet a customer at 9AM there. I told him that there were keys in the console of the FMF. We had some made the last time he lost keys to the shop. 

I started the car, opened the back door, turned on the air flow in the car for the dogs. I found the shop keys in the console. I also went thru the laundry in the washer that Hubby had started. There were "lost" shop keys in his shorts pocket. I put the wet laundry into the dryer. 

We loaded the dogs in the car. 

Drove to Bunkerville. Hafen Lane is still closed, so we drove past the shop. 

In Bunkerville, Riley jumped out and ran around the park. 

We walked around the soccer park. It was really wet today. The horse corral is buried in water. Thank goodness the horses moved out. At the end of the walk, Tater pooped near the building and I went to pick it up and it had "disappeared"! I asked Hubby to come over to look and NEITHER ONE OF US COULD FIND IT. There were lots of pinecones, tree branches, and leaves but no poop pile. It was weird. 

We gave the dogs fresh water and loaded them in the FMF. 

Drove to the shop. Hubby had to make sure the keys worked. 

We drove to the Info Center and walked the dogs around. Riley pooped and I had to pick it up. 

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

Drove to Starbucks near the Walmart and picked up egg bites as they did not have the Incredible Breakfast sandwich in stock. Then we drove thru the Falcon Ridge car wash. It leaked on my head, Hubby had to hold up the sun roof. He said he needs to bend another piece of cardboard to stuff into it. 

Then we drove home. 

We unloaded the dogs, I put them out back for potty. PBJR had lots more water. 

Hubby made himself some breakfast. I put all the dishes in the dishwasher and started it.

My right ear was hurting badly. I put numbing cream on it, 

I did some bookwork.

I was totally exhausted and slept until NOON. 

Got up and 

SATURDAY NIGHT MOON

When it got later, and cooler, we took the dogs for a walk, there was some woman with a dog at the park in Bunkerville, so we drove to the Info Center to walk them. After we were done, Hubby wanted dinner so we drove out to Littlefield to get pizza at Sbarro's. I had one bite and Hubby had the rest of my cheese pizza. 

Hubby bought lottery tickets.

Hubby filled the car with fuel. EXPENSIVE FUEL.

At the soccer park in Bunkerville, we unloaded dogs. Riley ran 2X around the park before we got unloaded. Put fresh water out for dogs. Walked around. Riley pooped. I picked it up. 

We let the dogs drink water, then loaded them afterwards. Saw a bunny in the parking lot. 

BUNNY IN PARKING LOT AT SOCCER PARK IN BUNKERVILLE

Drove to the Info Center and walked the dogs there. Tater pooped and I picked it up. 

We let the dogs run around for quite a while. Then we gave them fresh water and loaded them into the FMF. 

Drove to Smith's so we could pick up cream cheese Danish. Lef the dogs in the car with fresh waster as it was cool this morning. Some guy was there buying donuts from the open area at the bakery. HE WAS LOADING 2 DOZEN DONUTS WITH HIS BARE HANDS. So gross. 

Then we checked out. No aisles had cashier's had to us the self-checkout. 

Took the dogs home. At home, I unloaded the dogs. Hubby made breakfast for himself. He warmed up sausage for me. I ate some of the Danish. 

I did bookwork. Hubby cleaned cat litter. Hubby put away clean clothes from last night.

Hubby left at 8:30AM. He has to work at the shop today with Nick. 

I played BALL with Riley, put away clean clothes, put away clean dishes, did bookwork. 

I updated my BLOG that I had not touched in a while. It is difficult to remember what we have been doing. 

Hubby got home at 3PM. We took PBJR to the Vet. Left Riley & Tater at home.

Drove PBJR to vet in the FMF. I went inside to check her in and then went out to the car to wait. An assistant came and took us inside. PBJR weighs 66 pounds now. OMG she is so overweight. 

Doctor gave us some cream to put on her belly sore, her tail sore. The doctor had taken some scrapings of both to look at under a miscroscope. She thinks it is a bacterial infection and not the beginnings of cancer. 

Vet recommended Royal Canin Satiety dog food for her to lose weight. We can give her 1 cup 3x a day.

Hubby took the dog out to the car while I paid for the vet appointment and dog food.

PBJR DOING FROG LEGS - GETTING BELLY COOL

We drove back home and unloaded her. Picked up the mail. Tater and Riley were happy to see us home again. They sniffed PBJR all over. 

We watched TV and went to bed at 9:30PM. Both of us were exhausted.

I was up at 3:15AM to potty then sleep on the sofa in the living room. 

Hubby was up at 4AM to put dogs out for potty.

I was up at 5AM; then dressed. Hubby put dogs out for potty. 

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

Hubby made the bed. Then he got dressed.

We put harnesses on dogs. Loaded dogs in car. Drove to Bunkerville to walk dogs at soccer park. 

They have now broken up/destroy the old no-name road behind McDonalds, so we are having to go on the new road-Leavitt Lane. But the past 2 mornings, they have closed Hafen Lane also so we are going past the shop every morning.

When we arrive at the soccer park, there is a truck park there but nobody is around. We let the dogs out to run. PBJR is on a leash. Riley barks at birds. She is across the park and back again before we get going. My phone goes black and I think it is dead, so I walk back to the car to plug it in for a charge. 

We walked around the park and Tater poops. I pick it up. 

We get done and give the dogs some fresh water. Then we load them into the FMF. 

I find out that my brightness is on the lowest of my phone, so I am having to try to turn it up blindly. I use Hubby's phone to show me where everything is on Settings. OMG. WHY did it do this?

We drive to the Info Center to walk the dogs there. Nobody at the school, so school must be out now. No kids walking to school.

At the Info Center, there is nobody there, so we can let the dogs out to run. We walk around the Center. Tater poops AGAIN. I pick it up again. 

We give the dogs fresh water and load them in the car. 

We drive to Walmart and get groceries. We see Dean there in the aisle. He has shorter hair and has lost weight. We talk to him for a while. Then as we are checking out, we see Jose there and greet him. Walmart now has short checkouts and the cashier checking us out says that people don't like it. Walmart will spend money on re-vamping checkouts, but not paying their employees. She also showed us her "WORK PHONE" where she logs in and out and uses for price checks. But they still won't pay their employees a living wage or provide better health benefits. 

We drive home. 

At home, Hubby unloads the groceries. I let the dogs out for potty. 

I put laundry in to wash. I put dirty dishes away and start the dishwasher. 

Hubby warmed up sausage and toast in the air-fryer for me. 

I picked up 8 loads of dog poop in the backyard. WHERE is it all coming from? They only eat about 1 cup of kibble per day.

Hubby cleans out cat litter. He puts the pool cleaner into the hot tub again. There is STILL dirt on the bottom of it. 

Hubby takes PBJR to the shop today. She RUNS out to the car to get inside. Hubby vacuums out the dirt from the car. We just got it detailed at the shop on Tuesday. It is already pigged out again. 

I do book work at home. I put away clean dishes. I put away clean clothes. I conditioned my hair. 

Riley and I walk down to the mail box to get mail, then we go to the park. She walks in the wet grass. 

When I get back home, I water two new cactus that grew in our "rock river". 

I do more bookwork.

Hubby and PBJR came home at 4:30PM. Hubby drove around the back of the house so we could run out and wave at them. 

PBJR & HUBBY COMING HOME

Hubby ate the turkey sandwich that I made. He also made some spaghetti for dinner. 

I was tired and could barely stay awake. We sat on the sofa and did Story Time on my iPhone. PBJR fell asleep on Hubby's arm as we sat on the sofa. She was exhausted. Hubby said she greeted people all day, hung out in the work bay with Oscar, and sat beside Hubby in the front room.

EXHAUSTED PBJR AFTER SHOP DAY

At 5:30PM, I took a nap until 7PM. I woke up and went outside to play BALL with Riley. I woke Hubby up as he was snoring on the sofa. I went to make the bed. Then I got the shower ready so Hubby could wash Tater & PBJR. PBJR came to the shower on her own. So proud of her. Hubby could not get the black dirt off her belly even though he scrubbed her with a washcloth.

I made the bed while the dogs were getting washed. I dried them off with towels. Hubby cleaned up the shower afterwards. I was exhausted and went to bed.

I was up at 4AM to potty. PBJR had been sleeping on my stomach all night. She had her head smooshed into me and kept trying to get closer. 

I went out to the living room and slept on the sofa. 

At 4:45AM, I got up, opened the door, started the ice machine, started making hot latte for Hubby, hot tea for me. I got dressed. 

Hubby got up with the dogs and let them outside. 

I went to pick up dog poo outside. I turned off the hose that Hubby had let run all night long. It was draining into the street. 

I made the bed. Hubby put the stuff back into the car that we had taken out yesterday so that it could be cleaned at the shop. He had to put the dog beds into the back of the car. 

I put dirty laundry in the washer. 

Put harnesses on dogs. 

Hubby discovered that our GARBAGE CAN HAD MYSTERIOUSLY RETURNED. It was sitting out beside our fence. So he put it in behind the fence. Very odd.

We loaded the dogs in the car.

Drove to Bunkerville to walk dogs in the soccer field. I picked up poo from Tater. Then Riley was running all over and barking at birds. PBJR walked quite well today.

The detailer had come to clean the FMF on Tuesday, so we had a totally clean car today.

Hubby got up and dressed. He made the bed. 

I made hot tea for me and a hot latte for Hubby. 

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

Drove to Bunkerville soccer park to walk them. It was quite wet today as they had over-watered. After our walk, we gave them fresh water and loaded them into the car. 

We drove to the Info Center to walk the dogs there, let them out and they started to run around, but some stupid woman drove in with her two unleashed dogs, so we had to load the dogs into the car again quite quickly. People are so rude. 

We drove home and let the dogs out of the car, into the house. I let them out for potty in the back yard.

Hubby made himself a burrito for breakfast. He sat and watched TV for a while. Then he cleaned cat litter. 

We put the garbage can outside and gathered all the garbage. I picked up the dog poo and put it out. 

Hubby left at 8:30AM in the Jeep. 

PBJR was really tired today. She slept in my seat on the sofa. I covered her with a blanket. 

PBJR SLEEPING ON MY SEAT IN LIVING ROOM

I went outside to get the garbage can, BUT IT WAS MISSING. I looked everywhere. 

When Hubby finally got home about 5:30PM, I told him and he looked for it. But it was nowhere. I was going to call the City of Mesquite Garbage tomorrow to advise them. 

Hubby made himself dinner. 

We watched TV. I played BALL with Riley outside. 

Went to bed at 9:30pm.

Up at 3:30AM when Hubby had to potty, I got up and went potty, too. 

Then back to bed. I was exhausted. 

Slept until 5:15AM. I got up and went potty again. 

I got dressed. Went to the kitchen to make hot latte for Hubby, hot tea for me. 

Hubby got up and put the dogs out for potty. 

Hubby gave shredded cheese and tuna to the cats. 

Hubby got dressed.

I went outside and took the drinks to the car and unlocked the car and opened the back door.

We loaded the dogs in the FMF. 

Hubby had to back up and see-saw the car around the camper plugged in at the driveway in the street. 

We left there and drove to Bunkerville. 

Got to the soccer park late - about 6:15AM and still were the only ones there!

Riley ran around, but there were not a lot of birds in the park today.

I picked up a couple of other dog's poop. Tater pooped. 

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

Drove to the Info Center. We unloaded the dogs and not 5 minutes later, the woman in the white car with two little dogs drove in. We quickly put leashes on the dogs and tried to get them out of the park. She was sitting in her car, screaming "It's OK." What a fucking idiot old biddy. She let her dogs out and they ran around. Our dogs wanted to kill them. Hubby had to pull Tater to the car and I had to pull PBJR to the car. Fucking rude old woman.

We drove home after that as it was getting hotter. 

At home, unloaded dogs and they went out for potty again. 

Then Hubby made breakfast burritos for himself using his left-overs. I made him turn on the fan because it was stinky. The peppers were getting to me. I could not breathe.

After that, we worked on cleaning out the camper. Put in more measuring cups and coffee cups. Hubby took out the crap in the bathroom so we had room there. I cleaned off all the counters and wiped them down. I cleaned out the sink. I cleaned out the microwave and cooktop. I cleaned the bathroom and the shower stall where there was lots of dirt. 

Then I re-made the bed and took out the pillow cases to wash. Hubby helped me put the comforters on the bed and re-arrange them. 

I had to take a Nitro because my heart was seizing.

Then we washed clothes. Put 4 loads of laundry in and washed them.

I came inside and made more hot tea for myself. I ate some chicken/apple sausage for breakfast. 

Hubby washed off the waterproof dog beds and put them out to dry. 

I took a nap. Hubby started the heater in the hot tub. But by 2PM, it still was not warm enough.

I took a hot bath in the front bathroom. I put conditioner on my hair. I put away more clean clothes. 

Hubby watched YouTube videos. 

I was still not feeling good. I took another nap on the sofa. 

It was 6PM by the time I woke up. I was grumpy. Hurt all over. 

I played BALL with Riley outside. The other dogs slept on their dog beds and got warmed up.

We watched some TV.

DOGS SLEEPING BESIDE ME ON THE SOFA

All the dogs were tired and slept on me while watching TV. 

We went to bed at 8:30PM as all of were exhausted.

SUNDAY / MAY 24 / LOTS OF DRIVING / CAMPING IN THE DESERT / HOME AGAIN

SUNDAY

MAY 24 2026

Got up early on Sunday. In the middle of the desert and I got dressed. Nobody around for miles. 

Hubby put the dogs out for potty. They wandered around where they wanted to; went far off to poop. 

Hubby started the generator so that I could make hot tea for me and hot latte for him. 

We tried to eat the burritos from yesterday, but they are not good on the 2nd day. Need to eat them fresh. I gave some of my burrito to the dogs. 

We walked the dogs and then gave them water. Loaded them into the truck. 

We drove back to Baker on 487 and then drove west on Highway 6.

MOMMY & RILEY DRIVING IN TRUCK

In Pioche, NV, we walked the dogs in the grass at the school. It was shady and we walked them around the sidewalks. 

We drove into town to look for the breakfast cafe. We found it on the corner as we turned. Parked on the street across from it in the shade. It was pretty cool, so we left water with the dogs in the truck and crossed the street to eat there. 

Ate breakfast at the oldest cafe in Nevada in Pioche; Historic Silver Cafe. Hubby had biscuits and gravy with an egg on top 1/2 order. I had the french toast with crispy bacon so Hubby could eat my bacon. 

There were 3 latino men sitting behind Hubby and they ordered AFTER us, but they ate quickly and left before us. It was odd. 

BREAKFAST AT HISTORIC SILVER CAFE IN PIOCHE

The breakfast was OK, but not great. We did NOT get sick after, tho. 

We got into the truck and continued driving. Looking for a place to stay the night. 

We drove east towards Echo Canyon State Park. Drove thru it, but there WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE there and could not stay with the dogs. Lots of people walking their dogs and we thought it to be disruptive. 

We left there and drove south to 319. Then we drove thru Panaca. Walked the dogs at the school there in the grass. Church at the Mormon temple was just getting out and lots of people were walking thru town. 

As we drove thru Panaca, we did not see any of those hideous Political signs that had been PLASTERED ALL OVER THE TOWN BEFORE up to this point. It was very odd. No sign of those awful things anywhere. Did they learn a lesson? No politican will help the isolated, poor Republican towns?

We drove west to the intersection of 93&319 and got fuel at the Shell station there. Hubby got Blue Bunny ice cream which was awful. No taste at all and the ice cream was foamy.

We drove to Caliente and Hubby drove thru town. No political signs there EXCEPT for one that looked VERY old in a house on the hill that was abandoned and foreclosed. It was hilarious. No politician is giving money to the poor Republican town. 

Hubby took us up a horrible dirt road by the rock crushing pit that was for the Races that he had done several years ago, but there was no camping there and it kept getting narrower. We turned around and left there. 

We continued driving and located a road that was it was for the Delamar Mine, but the road was awful and there was nothing but scrub brush so the dogs would not be able to walk or run around. 

We turned around and left there. It was getting hotter now as we drove south. No place to camp.

We decided to return to Mesquite. We were all tired. Stopped at the Ash Springs Green Valley Grocery RV park to walk the dogs. What we saw there was AWFUL. They had decided NOT to water the dog park and there were weeds and burnt grass. Nobody had cleaned the park of poop, so I took bags and picked up over 50 bags of dog poo. Some vehicle had backed in to the fence on one side and destroyed it. 

We gave the dogs some water and then loaded them back into the truck. 

Drove home to Mesquite and got there about 4PM. 

Unloaded the dogs. I cleaned the cat litter, I put the dogs outside so they could potty. I re-filled the water outside for the dogs. I made more hot tea for myself. 

I was not feeling well. Everything was hurting again. 

I took a shower right away so I could feel clean again. 

Hubby brought in the basics from the camper. We can unload it and clean it out tomorrow. 

Put dirty clothes in the washer and started it. 

Hubby took a shower and washed the dogs. I helpoed dry the dogs after they were washed. 

We sat around and watched TV for a while and went to bed by 8PM.
