SATURDAY / JUNE 13 / DOG WALK / DOG WALK / LOTTERY TICKETS & BURRITOS /

SATURDAY

JUNE 13 2026

At 4AM, it was still hot. 83F degrees. 

I was already up at 4AM, sweating on my pillow. I knew immediately that Hubby had left the A/C on 73F degrees. I got up and turned it down to 70F. The cooler air was refreshing. Then I put out shredded cheese and tuna for the cats. 

I started making a hot latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself.

I got dressed. 

By 4:30, I woke Hubby up and let the dogs out for potty. 

I made the bed before we left. I went out and opened the rear driver's door so the dogs could load. I started the car so the A/C was cooling it down

I put the harnesses on the dogs and Hubby locked the doors. Hubby had gotten dressed and put his shoes on. 

We loaded the dogs. Left at 5AM. 

FUEL SATURDAY JUNE 13 2026

We drove to Bunkerville. Walked dogs there. Nobody was there. Tater pooped it was water. I could not pick it up. Riley pooped, but the poop disappeared and we could not find it. 

When we first entered the soccer field, there was a HUGE CRANE sitting on the light pole. He flew away afterwards.

HUGE CRANE ON LIGHT POLE IN SOCCER FIELD

Riley found her golf ball and I threw it as we walked across the park. PBJR was free dog and went WAY FAR in front of us. 

Riley lost her ball at the end of the walk by the trees. We could NOT FIND IT. 

Gave the dogs fresh water, then loaded them into the car. 

Drove to the Info Center to walk the dogs there. There was NOBODY there. We let them free-range all over. Kept PBJR on a leash. No birds for Riley to chase. Tater pooped water again. We are concerned about him. 

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

Drove to Beaver Dam where Hubby got fuel at TA Express. On the drive there via the I-15, the dogs settled down for naps.

NAPPING IN THE BACK SEAT ON THE DRIVE TO BEAVER DAM

The Del Taco there was CLOSED in the morning. They open at 9AM. Which is odd because they offer breakfast burritos. Hubby turned to go into Beaver Dam to see if the Burrito/Taco truck was there, but it was not. Instead, he turned around at the school and we drove back to the Interstate. Hubby suggested that the new Alfredo A's in Littlefield at the truck plaza was open, so I checked the hours. They were open. We drove to Littlefield where Hubby parked and went inside. I sat in the A/C with the dogs. PBJR decided to THROW herself into the front seat and sit against the steering wheel then closed her eyes and started snoring. 

ALFREDO A'S IN LITTLEFIELD FOR BURRITOS

Hubby came out with fresh, hot burritos. 

We drove back to Mesquite where Hubby had to go shopping at Smith's for milk. He also got bread, cupcakes, raisin bran, eggs, hawaiian buns, potato bread, and hummus (because they were out of guacamole). 

FUEL SATURDAY JUNE 13 SMITHS

At home, I unloaded the dogs. Hubby unloaded the car and put away groceries.

I picked up dog poop outside. Tater had diarrhea in two places and fortunately the hose could reach. So I sprayed those spots down. Then I watered the transplanted plant to the far left. I watered all the other plants. I watered the cactus that Oscar planted on the side of the house.

I refilled the dog water as there was dirt blown into it. 

I made hot tea when I got inside. I put dishes in the dishwasher. I got laundry out of the dryer and put it away. 

Hubby took the blower out front because we have seeds everywhere, but his battery died. I asked him to vacuum out my side of the car, too. 

I vacuumed the armoire and cleaned out the cat litter. Hubby had to vacuum my office because one of the cats had gotten a tea bag and tore into it. It was scattered all over the floor.

We ate the breakfast burritos Hubby went inside Alfredo As in Littlefield to purchase. Mine was full of potatoes. Very little sausage or cheese or egg. About 95% potatoes, 1% sausage and cheese and egg. And it was tasteless. 

Hubby vacuumed the rest of the house. 

I started another load of laundry. I ordered some ear pods and another striped summer sweater because my black and white one was ripped on the sleeve. I will try to repair it with sewing.

FRIDAY / JUNE 12 / DOG WALK / NO DOG WALK / FRENCH TOAST / HUBBY TO SHOP / CUT DEAD BRANCHES ON PLANT/HUBBY WORKS ON HOT TUB / DOGS SWIM

FRIDAY

JUNE 12 2026

Hubby was up at 2AM to take the dogs out for potty. He went potty. I got up and went potty. 

I was exhausted having just fallen asleep a few hours before. 

Then we went back to bed. 

Stuart started clawing at our door by 3AM. He continued for 1 hour. Then I opened the door. He crawled up my chest and then I pushed him off to the floor. 

Hubby got up at 4AM to let the dogs out again. Then I went on the sofa to sleep. Hubby had been snoring and Tater was pushing me out of bed. 

Hubby came to the sofa and sat. PBJR got up beside him. Then we slept until 6AM. 

We got up and made the bed. Got dressed. I went to the kitchen to make hot latte for hubby, hot tea for me. Hubby let the dogs out again. 

We put harnesses on the dogs and loaded them in the FMF. Drove to Bunkerville, but because we were so late there were the two women who were playing ball with their dogs there at 6:17AM. 

FUEL FRIDAY JUNE 12 2026

We drove to the Info Center. There was only one homeless guy in the back of the building, so we walked the dogs around. 

Riley barked at birds and ran around. Tater was even running. Both of them pooped. I picked it up. 

TATER AT INFO CENTER IN THE GRASS

PBJR ENJOYS GRASS AT INFO CENTER

RILEY BARKING AT BIRDS

We loaded the dogs and drove back to Bunkerville, but there was another woman there walking her dog. We gave up and drove to Walmart where we drove thru the Falcon Ridge car wash. 

At home, we unloaded dogs. Put them in the back yard for potty. 

PBJR and I walked down to the mailbox to get mail. Then we walked around the back on the sidewalk to get home. She was quite tired by the time we got home.

Hubby made an Amazon return for his hot tub heater. 

Then he left for the shop at 11:15AM to meet some customers at the shop. 

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

I cut back the plant/tree/bush in the back yard. Got some scratches. I got the front finished, now just have to do the back. The dogs were out with me. I threw the BALL for Riley a while. I was dripping sweat by the time I got to a point where I finished cutting the branches on the plant. 

SCRATCHES ON MY LEFT ARM FROM CUTTING DEAD BRANCHES ON PLANT

Hubby got back at 12:30PM. He made himself some lunch. Then he sat down on the sofa to watch YouTube TV. More drag racing. I told him to call somebody to install a heater for the hot tub. 

Hubby had me go string the hose to the side patio and he filled the water. He put "Sean the Sheep" pool cleaner inside because the hose is dispensing DIRTY WATER. 

I had to go outside and pick up more dog poo. Then I played BALL with Riley for a while. She gets tired in the heat and just sits on the dog bed, refusing to play. 

I had Hubby get me a big black garbage bag so I could pick up the tiny branches that I had cut.

We waited until 4PM and it was full. Since it was so hot outside, the water was actually warm. Not hot, but tolerable for a short period. 

Hubby wanted the dogs to try the hot tub, so we put Riley inside first. Showed her how to climb up the stairs because she is tiny enough to fit on the narrow stairs. She paddled around, but was scared. We got her out and dried her off. Tater was next and splashed around A LOT. The windows were wet, I was wet. I put PBJR's harness on her and got her fat little body in the pool. She plunged down and sank right away. Hubby got her up. She was spitting out water. I thought maybe we drowned her. She got out. All the dogs raced around in the yard for a while and dried off. 

I changed into my bathing suit and fetched our pool noodles out of the garage. I got inside the hot tub and we floated for about 20 minutes. Then I got cold. The wind started blowing and the water was cooling off. 

I got out and immediately took a hot bath because I was freezing. 

After a while, I went outside with the dogs. Played BALL with Riley. The dogs were immediately tired and passed out on the sofas. 

We sat around watching TV for the rest of the night. I went to bed at 9:30PM after I made the bed and shut all the mini blinds. 

Hubby could not sleep, so he stayed up for a while. Just as I fell asleep, Riley & Tater got up and wanted out. Hubby put them outside. I went back to bed with PBJR. She was wheezing really bad. I thought maybe she had got some water in her lungs, but she was OK and settled down to sleep.

Hubby came to bed later.

THURSDAY

JUNE 11 2026

Hubby was up at 2AM with the dogs and sat on the patio with them. 

I was up at 5AM as I had taken a pain killer last night. I slept late. 

I went to the kitchen and started making hot latte for Hubby, hot tea for me. 

I put out shredded cheese and tuna for the cats. I put clean water in the cat bowls and dog bowls. 

I started the ice maker. 

I dressed. Hubby was up by now. I let the dogs out for potty. Hubby got dressed.

We put harnesses on the dogs. We loaded the dogs into the FMF and drove to Bunkerville. 

At Bunkerville, there was nobody around. The gate was closed this time. All the dogs went wild dog walk. I had forgotten to wear my boots. Left them at home. 

We walked around. Riley found the Golf Ball that had been there yesterday. I threw the Golf Ball for her while we walked. She ran after birds. 

Put out clean water in the dog bowl for the dogs. They drank. We loaded them into the car and drove to Mesquite. 

Hubby drove to the Info Center, but there was a USPS truck there with a guy that was getting out some sprayer, so we decided not to stay. 

We were going to stop and get the car washed, but I was hit with endometriosis cramps, so we went home instead. 

At home, I unloaded the dogs. Put them out back for potty. 

I cleaned the kitchen counter. Hubby put sausage and egg bites in the air fryer for me. He also put toast in for me. 

Hubby sharped knives with his kit that KRL bought him for Xmas many years ago.

Rattler decided to help.

I took a hot bath. Riley, Robert, and Stuart all came to see me take a bath.

Hubby cleaned cat litter at 8:20AM. He left for the shop in the FMF at 8:30AM. 

I put away clean clothes. I did two more loads of laundry-dog blankets and towels. 

Then I started the dishwasher. I put away dishes later. 

I went outside several times to play BALL with Riley and so the dogs could potty.

It was a high of 103F degrees today.

Hubby got home at 2:30PM. He said it was too hot to stay at the shop any longer. 

I fed the dogs. 

I did bookwork. 

Hubby did his leg compression outfit for 1 hour. The dogs and Stuart helped him relax.

DOGS HELPING HUBBY WITH LEG COMPRESSIONS

I washed and conditioned my hair. 

I went outside with the dogs and threw BALLS for Riley.

The dogs went into the bedroom to join Stuart on the bed with Hubby.

I helped Hubby out of his leg compressions. 

Hubby made toast with peanut butter for my dinner. I was not very hungry.

Hubby watched YouTube TV. We shared Story Time on my iPhone. Sat together on the sofa. 

I took the dogs out for potty again at 8:30PM. I threw a ball for Riley that landed in one of the tree/bushes and got stuck. It poked at my eyes when I tried to reach for it. 

We came inside after I refreshed the dog water outside. It was still 90F degrees.

Hubby was falling asleep on the sofa. He went to bed with the dogs at 9PM. 

I continued to do bookwork in the office. I put laundry in the dryer. 

I watched TV for a while.

I finally went to bed at 11PM because I was not able to sleep.

Riley pooped nice and I pickd it up. Tater pooped diarrhea again. Tater's was too watery to pick up. The gate to the road was open. Hubby closed it. 

We gave the dogs water and then loaded them into the car. There were people in a black truck, then another car that pulled up by the Justice building and got their dogs out, we saw them open the gate at the road AND NOT CLOSE IT. They threw balls to their dogs. We left.

Drove to Mesquite. There was nobody at the center so we unloaded the dogs and walked them around on the sidewalk. Riley ran after birds and barked. Tater pooped again.

I did not eat all day today. Had lots of diarrhea.

I could barely move all day.

There was a HUGE bug beside the dog bowl. I picked it up and it flew away.

ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA, IT IS A TARANTULA HAWK WASP

ONE OF THE MOST PAINFUL IN THE INSECT WORLD

I made an appointment for Hubby at 3:15 for the DMV so he could title & register the White Ford F350 Shop Truck.

Got up from the sofa and dressed. I cut off some of my old jeans to make jean shorts. 

We both made the bed. Hubby dressed.

Put harnesses on dogs. Loaded dogs into FMF. Hubby forgot to unlock doors on car before I opened the garage door. 

We drove to Bunkerville. There were lots of white "blob" cars there. All the same make/model of Ford in white. We wondered what they were doing there. 

Saw as we left that there were several people putting out voting signs. Realized that was a voting area. 

Riley and Tater pooped. Tater's was too watery to pick up. I picked up Riley's poo. The gate to the field was opened. Hubby closed it. The gate to the road was open. Hubby closed it. 

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

We drove home. 

At home, Hubby vacuumed the car, put out the garbage can for collection. 

I went to pick up dog poo outside. There was over 20 loads. Most of them were diarrhea. PBJR and Riley pooped 2X more. These dogs are eating less and pooping more. 

Hubby sat down to watch YouTube TV for a while. He left at 8:37AM. I had to remind him to leave. He lost track of time.

Then I put in a load of laundry. I did bookwork. I made more hot tea. I ordered some cat litter from Walmart.

I could not sleep in bed last night as Hubby was sleeping and Tater was twitching. 

So I got up and slept on the sofa for several hours until my left hip started hurting. Stuart slept on my head and was licking himself, then I pushed him off. He instead went to sleep on my feet. 

I went back to bed. Then at 1:55AM, Hubby got up to potty and put the dogs out for potty.

I woke up at 4AM and got dressed. Gave the cats some shredded cheese and tuna. 

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

Hubby got up and made the bed, then got dressed. 

We put harnesses on the dogs and loaded them in the car. We left at 5AM. Really early. 

Drove to Bunkerville and walked dogs. Tater pooped. I picked it up and tossed it in the garbage. 

Nobody else was at the soccer field today. Tater did a LOT of running, along with Riley chasing birds. 

We gave the dogs water and loaded them in the car. As we were leaving, a pickup drove in with two dogs in the back. AZ license plates. 

We drove to the Info Center in Mesquite. We unloaded dogs, we thought there was somebody sleeping on the bench, but it turned out to be some sort of tote that was left there. We kept Tater and PBJR on leashes and walked around. 

We gave them water and loaded them in the car. 

Decided to drive around the new houses and subdivisions north of town. 

Then we drove home as I was hungry. 

At home, unloaded dogs. Hubby warmed up chicken apple sausage for me. Toast. He made burritos for himself and the guys at the shop.

Drove to Bunkerville and walked dogs. Tater pooped and it was nice tootsie roll consistency. I picked it up and tossed it in the garbage. 

Nobody else was at the soccer field today. Tater did a LOT of running, along with Riley chasing birds. 

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

We drove to the Info Center in Mesquite. We unloaded dogs, they were all off leash, but when we turned the corner of the sidewalk, there was a homeless person sleeping on the ground by the building. We leashed the dogs up and walked in the opposite direction.

We gave them water and loaded them in the car. 

Drove to Smith's where Hubby waited outside while I went to buy strawberry danish and skim milk

FUEL SUNDAY JUNE 7 2026

We drove home. Tater barked at dogs in our neighborhood. Unloaded dogs at the house. 

I let dogs in the house and put them in the back yard for potty. I picked up dog poop at home. 

I put more water in the cat bowls, the dog bowls. 

Hubby made himself some breakfast. Then he started to clean the carpets again with the RUG DOCTOR machine. He cleaned our room, the living room, and the spare bedroom again. 

I put away clean clothes. I started some in the dryer again. 

I cleaned up the floor where the Rug Doctor machine was spewing dirty water. I vacuumed the house. I cleaned cat litter. I vacuumed the armoire. I cleaned out the vacuum. 

Hubby put fans on the rooms so the carpet would dry. 

We left the dogs and cats at home. Could not lock cats in our room as it was still drying, so we left them out. Drove to Walmart to return Rug Doctor machine. 

Then we did some more shopping of food we had forgotten yesterday - potato bread, honey, shredded cheese. I got some more conditioner, but not the type I was looking for. Will have to order that online.

Hubby ran into several customers from the shop. One was wearing our t-shirt.

Then we drove to the Falcon Ridge Car Wash to clean the Jeep as Hubby had driven thru water again while driving into Walmart.

SATURDAY / JUN 6 / RILEY VOMITS & POOPS / DOG WALK / NO DOG WALK / OSCAR TRANSPLANTS /UPS STORE MAIL BLUEPRINTS / WALMART RENT RUG DOCTOR

 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. 

PBJR'S FAVORITE BLANKET FROM WALMART

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. 

Both of us were exhausted. 

We watched TV. I played BALL with Riley outside. We moved the hammock back to where it was before. 

Changed the sheets on the bed. Washed the sheets. Washed our comforter on top of the bed. 

Hubby fell asleep on the sofa and snored. 

Went to bed at 11PM. 

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.

THURSDAY

JUNE 4 2026

Up at 4AM. Hubby let dogs out for potty. 

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.

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

I put away clean dishes. PBJR and Riley kept going outside in the heat. By NOON, it was over 100F degrees. 

I gave myself the diet shot. 

I played outside with the dogs. Threw BALL for Riley.

I renewed the business LLC License for Nevada. 

I did bookwork. I picked up dog poop outside.

Hubby got home at 3:45PM. Dogs were happy to see him, but did not hear the car pull in the driveway.

Hubby grilled burgers on the grille outside. He made crab with cream cheese and shredded cheese to snack on. He forgot to cut onions, so I teased him about it. 

We watched TV. Shared storytime on my iPhone. All the dogs had to get up on the sofa with us to be near us.

We went to bed at 9:30PM. I was exhausted.

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.
