Beebo barks at everything outside!

Beebo inside on couch, Lil Bit on deck outside

I got up and made egg sandwich for hubby & gave the rest to the dogs. They were happy to have treats.

My head is still having a low current electrical buzzing in it. Very debilitating. Don't know what is wrong.

Saw coyotes cutting thru the back of the property this morning. Another thing for dogs to bark at while in the back yard!

Then made egg sandwich for hubby.

Ben vomited all over the living room. I had to clean it up & then vacuum. Gross.

PRE - Valentine's Day

TUESDAY

Espresso machine blew up and can't make drinks anymore.


Hubby went to work with an egg sandwich that I made him.

I was still dizzy from BPPV and sat around much of today. I did manage to get laundry & dishes done.

When hubby came home, we had to take tires to Rathdrum to sell to a guy. Brought Bud, Ben & Lil Bit along with us in the grey Dodge. Met the guy at Stein's grocery. Afterwards, we shopped for groceries.

We came home and I made birthday cake fudge for KRN.

Loaded up all her presents in birthday sacks we had purchased.

Went to bed after watching Raising Hope, New Girl, and Cougar Town.



WEDNESDAY

Hubby took today off so that we can celebrate KRN's birthday before they leave for a "mysterious" vacation.

We are supposed to babysit Beebo while they are gone thru the weekend.

I got up at 6:30 to let the dogs out and made egg sandwich for hubby. Then we got dressed & loaded the dogs up in the Xcursion and took them to the park for a dog walk.

Stopped at Espresso stand on the way to get latte for hubby. At the park, we walked all the way down around the point on the beach. It was fun. The sun was out and there was a breeze blowing.

Came back and unloaded dogs. Hubby colored his hair. Dogs took a nap.

Loaded presents & dogs in Xcursion. Hubby drove the X while I drove the grey Dodge. We left the dodge at CN Diesel so the detail guy could clean it before we sell it.

Detail guy met us at CN Diesel. We piled into Xcursion and drove to Argonne & Trent to drop off the broken Espresso machine.

Then went to KRN's. We hung around their place until 3:45. Drove the Xcursion and took Bud/Ben with us so they would not tear up KRN's house. Left the dogs in the parking ramp in the vehicle while we went to the Casino and had the Seafood buffet at River's Edge. Lots of rich food. Yum. Played KENO while we were sitting at the table. After purchasing a $6 card, KRN won 25 cents!

KRN & I used the restrooms afterwards, then we went to the non-smoking part of the casino and promptly lost $20 in the quarter slots. Boo.

We drove back to the kids house and then picked up the dogs. Babysitting Beebo this weekend, so we brought him with us.

Came back to CN Diesel to pick up the Dodge. The detailer was late so we had to wait. Then the gate would not close when we left. Hubby had to call guys to find out what was wrong with it. Hubby took all dogs in Xcursion while I drove home Dodge. The Dodge was really clean, but stinky clean. Lots of chemicals. I stopped on the way home to get burgers for the dogs at McDonalds.

Dogs ate McDonalds that hubby fed them. We went to bed afterwards.


 

So Tired

MONDAY

Horrible night. Ben up at 1AM and 3AM for potty. Lil Bit vomited on the bed and I had to clean it up at 2AM. Then he wanted to go out to potty; then again out at 4AM.

This was horrible as I had extreme BPPV last night. So dizzy falling to the left all the time.

So I slept in a chair in front of the fireplace today and tried to sleep. I am so very tired.

Hubby came home at 6:00. Went down to shop.

Moose was here by 5:45PM. He is alone. Lost his friend. Sad.

Dizzy

SATURDAY

My dizziness has been coming on for a couple days now. I woke up in the middle of the night and almost fell down the stairs because I was so dizzy.

When I woke up in the morning, it was difficult just getting out of bed. The dizziness, the nausea, vertigo, lightheadedness. I made breakfast & latte for hubby but then fell back asleep on the couch. He had covered me with a blanket because I was cold.

Hubby had to go in to work to install a DSL service for some whiny people that could not be home M-F. So Frontier caved and made "special arrangements" for the whiners. Two techs called out for a minimum of 8 hours at 1.5 OT. Assholes. At least hubby made overtime, but it wastes time from our personal life.

I felt really bad that the dogs could not have their walk this morning.

Laid around on the couch most of today feeling rotten. Could not eat much because I was so nauseated. Just ate a couple pieces of apple.

Moose came at 4:45 to eat. Hubby brought home food, but we have not had time to put it out for him yet. We will get straw for him tomorrow.

More Moose

FRIDAY

Woke up to Mr. Moose in the yard again. It did not look like he had slept here, he just walked up and started trying to find food again.

Moose

Hubby will have to stop so he can pick up more deer food, straw and a salt lick.

Hope Moosey does not get hit in the road as he crossed the road when hubby was leaving this morning. Very dangerous. Wish the moose would stay on this side of the road.

Made breakfast & latte for hubby.

I was suffering from inner ear inbalance again this morning. Dizzy. Almost fell into Maggie.

Did dishes & laundry.

TUESWEDTHUR & MOOSE

TUESDAY

Just woke up and did the same old. Breakfast & latte for hubby.

Then spent the day cleaning house & exercising.

Girl from rescue called and asked us to take a 165 pound 45 inch tall Great Dane for 3 weeks as a foster, I had to turn her down. Too many dogs. And this one is just a little bit too big.

Tired Bud

Hubby came home and spent the night with us watching TV.

WEDNESDAY

Woke up this morning to a moose in the front yard! He was nudging around the old moldy deer food. So I rushed out to give him some more without frightening him. But he would not eat the food, too close to the house. I threw out some bread & apples, but he was not interested in that either.

Dogs barked for a while at moose (mostly Lil Bit) but later they just ignored him.

I made breakfast & latte for hubby.

Hubby left for work and the moose ambled off into the woods.

I exercised today, vacuumed some more. Ben was a bad dog and had brought in a cedar chip from outside.

 Maggie watching for daddy to come home

Ben gets the hiccups a lot.

Hubby came home and had dinner with us, then went down to shop to work until 10:30.


THURSDAY

 Again this morning, the moose was in the front yard. Hubby suggested putting water out for him. We will do that tonight.

Hubby had put the deer food out in the feeders, so the moose had eaten that. He was now sleeping on the ground.

 Moose

Moose got up when the dogs came out to potty, but for the most part the dogs just ignored him. Obviously he enjoys the weeds around here because he dug up some while he was here. Then later he slept on the ground for a while and ambled off into the woods again.

I exercised. Did laundry & dishes.

Ben found lots of new toys in the back yard under the snow. We had gotten him after the big snow, so he is DISCOVERING our back yard! Such a sweetie.

Ben playing with new toys

Hair

MONDAY

Did not get much sleep last night. Lots of sweats and waking up every 30 minutes. Very tired.

Got up this morning to make hubby his latte. He had already made eggs last night, so he had some to take for breakfast today.

I did laundry & dishes, made beds, cleaned up dogs & refilled their bowls. Then got ready to go get my hair done. Left at 10:30 with Bud & Ben. Just before we left, I started the car while Ben decided he was going to wig out and destroy the cardboard garbage that hubby had left by the door. I had to clean it all up when I came back in the house to get Ben!

Got to the Salon at 10:45. Carol took me in right away and got started. She convinced me to have 2 different highlight colors weaved into my hair. It looks great. Just after my last rinse, I went out to take the dogs for a quick walk & pee.

Finished up at 2:15.

Ben

Super Bowl Sunday

SUNDAY

Slept in late until 8AM.

Made omelette & latte for hubby.

Watched a little bit of TV. I had to wash my hair & dry it.

While Bark Ark went snow wheeling on Sunday morning; we ventured on Dept of Lands trail off Diagonal Road. Did well going in, but on the way out we high centered. Had to be pulled off by random RMOR customer who just happened to be passing by. 

Walking at Farragut

 

Came home and watched TV; Puppy Bowl IX and hubby watched a bunch of his automotive shows. Then we got ready & took dogs to park. Walked on shoreline down by boat launch ramp. 

We drove into Costco and spent too much. Then came home. I was really tired. Watched last 1/2 of Super Bowl. Boring. Electricity went out on the arena! LOL.

Made more omelettes for dogs as we had forgotten to get cheeseburgers. Our bad.

Groundhog Day Again

SATURDAY

I slept pretty well last night. Ben made his way up the stairs in the middle of the night and got on his bed. Then around 4am in the morning, he wanted in bed with us. So I slept upside down on the bed to afford him more room. He is getting so big.

Got up and made breakfast & latte.

Took dogs to walk at Farragut. Found out they were logging the wedding day use area. It looks awful. Like a bomb went off. Suppose nobody will want to get married there this summer!

Hubby with the dogs. L to R - Lil Bit, Isabelle, Bud, Ben, Maggie

Ben, Bud, & Isabelle walked with me down to the shop.

Hubby came home later at 7:00.
