After Clinic was finished at 9PM, I returned home. Really tired. Packed my bag. Hubby was already packed. We watched "How It's Made" on tv for a while, then went to bed.


SATURDAY
10-24-2015

Up extra early for flight. Hubby had to get a latte at Starbucks in Post Falls. We drove to Spokane Airport in the grey Dodge. Parked in long-term parking. It was really cold this morning. Took the Parking Shuttle driven by a big fat guy with Bronchitis over to the Airport American Airlines. Checked in and then went thru TSA screening. Hubby had to open his bag because he had too much toothpaste & they examined it.

I had to purchase a nail file (multi pack of 10), I gave one to the checkout girl. Then we pottied. Sat down and waited for the flight. Hubby got a sandwich.

We loaded after a while. It was an uneventful flight. I was seated in the middle seat, hubby had the aisle. On the window seat was a guy that typed on his computer and kept poking me the whole trip.

Arrived at Phoenix Airport early. We de-planed and walked to the gate. But they changed the gate on us. Made us go half way across the airport to the A concourse from the B concourse. Once we got there, they reassigned the gate again and we had to head BACK to the B concourse. Which was absolutely fucking stupid. A nice black woman with her husband had to be pushed in a wheelchair. I was very concerned about her and wanted to make sure she was OK.

Then we finally got on the place about 45 minutes late. The pilot went extra fast so we could arrive on time.

Landed in Tucson. We had the Limo guy, Mark drive us to Marv's house.

Hubby entered the garage code and we entered the house.

Unpacked our bags. Changed clothes.

Drove to Tucson in the Lexus. Stopped at the Shoe Carnival and had to potty. Looked for shoes. Hubby continued shopping while I ran to have diarrhea at Walmart. Then I came back and we bought shoes. We walked back to Walmart to get grapes and some munchies.

Then we drove to Men's Wearhouse to get a suit for hubby. The salesman was flamboyantly gay. Finally got out of there. Hubby wanted to get Frozen Yogurt, so we had to drive back to the mall where we were and he got yogurt.

I wanted Chick-Fil-A, but they had a line around the block on the drive-thru so we just decided to return to Marv's house because we were tired.


SUNDAY
10-25-2015

Got up early. Hubby had to go to Starbucks in the Safeway to get a latte.

Drove to Tucson, hubby wanted to get his haircut, but no place opened until 11:00. He got a breakfast sandwich at a McDonalds and then we drove to Fed Ex to make picture copies of our phone pics, but they did not have a USB cord and the emails to their account did not work. We were very frustrated and left.

We were lost downtown on a Sunday and decided to drive to the airport to pick up his brother & sister-in-law.

We picked up Bruce & Barb at the airport.

Drove them to Olive Garden to have lunch. I had a salad. They had soup & salad. Hubby had to pay.

Then we drove back to Green Valley. They upacked their bags there.

Hubby and I went to Sauhaurita to get his haircut. I shopped at Fry's and purchased hand cream and a magazine. We purchased a nice shirt on sale for hubby. Talked to a nice black guy sales associate. I picked up some hand cream and nylons. We saw a yellow lab outside the SuperCuts and petted him. Nice dog.

Drove back to Marv's house.

The pastor of the church came over and talked to us around 4:00PM. Went outside on the patio and sat around the table. Pastor took notes about Marv while we reminisced.

Then we went over to Grace's house for dinner. Spaghetti with meat & salads. Cheesecake for dessert. She had a shit-ton of liquor set out for us (all the old people drink a LOT down here).

Left pretty late at 8PM. We were all tired.

Drove to Marv's. I went to bed while Bruce & hubby talked late.


MONDAY
10-26-2015

Got up early. Barb was still in bed until late. I went with the guys to town. They dropped me off at Walgreens and I made photocopies of pictures while the guys went to talk to XXX.

We returned home and I put on shoes & nylons. Bruce drove the Mercedes with hubby to the funeral home, while I drove the Lexus with Barb.

Not very many people showed for the memorial. About 30 total. The pastor got Marv's name wrong and called him Melvin!

Too many songs, too many prayers. It was disgusting.

The Piano player for the service hit hubby and Bruce up for payment afterwards.

We had luncheon in a side room after the memorial.




TUESDAY
10-27-2015

Again, woke up early. Nice day outside. Hubby and I went to get him a latte at Safeway again. I purchased another magazine to read on the airplane trip.

I studied at the breakfast table and waited until Barb got up. We went to have lunch at a Mexican Restaurant. Then the guys went to the Bank of America to get the finances sorted out.

Bruce & Barb took us to the airport at 4PM.

We got on the hop from Phoenix to Tucson. Had to sit in the back near the bathrooms in front of a really fat guy.

Then got off in Phoenix. Hubby had to get a sandwich at Wendy's. We both went potty again before getting on the next plane.

Seemed to take forever to get home. Kinda shaky airplane ride. I had the window, Hubby had the middle seat. On the aisle was a drunk guy. Did not bother us much.

At Spokane by 10:30. Got shuttle to car. It was cold outside. Then we drove home. Stopped at Wendy's on Barker road. I got a salad. Hubby got burger & burgers for the dogs.

Home by midnight. The dogs had spilled dog food everywhere. Had to clean that up. Gave them burgers. We were in bed by 1AM.

Stephanie flagged me down and asked me to be a sample body for the Paraffin Dipping. I had to have paraffin on my hands for 10 minutes. So could not study.

Then I walked to the back room and sat by T.

We had 10 minutes to study and then we took Quiz. I got 91% on it. Which is really great because I understood most of the questions. Again, I rushed thru and missed a couple questions only because I did not READ THRU THE QUESTION.

We drove into town and shopped at Costco. We ran into a guy that hubby worked with at the front entrance. Shopping was awful. Even though the Church crowd was not there yet, people were walking around with mouths open...stopping in the middle of the aisle, blocking aisles with carts. I had diarrhea twice and had to use the bathroom. It made shopping an awful hassle. A mother, grandmother, and bunch of kids blocked me as I was trying to get down the hallway to the bathroom. Of course, Costco is blocking the exit with only a body's width of the hallway available. I think I will contact the fire marshall.

Got done shopping and loaded stuff in the truck.

Stopped at Albertson's on the way home to get carrots and other fresh fruit.

Picked up burgers for dogs at Arby's. Drove home on Old Hwy 95 instead of the other Hwy. We had seen 3 deer dead that nobody had picked up. I did not want to see them again.

At home, I had diarrhea again. Very sick. Hubby unloaded everything from the truck. I tried to take a nap. Could not because Lil Bit kept coming up to the room and wanting on the bed just as I was about to fall asleep.

Watched new Season Premiere of Walking Dead. Not too exciting.

Went to bed at 10PM.

Ben's Troublesome Tail

FRIDAY
10-9-2015

Hubby left for work at 7AM. He came upstairs and kissed me goodbye.

He took the Jeep to work.

Got up at 8AM, called the Vet and made an appointment for Ben at 11:15. Also scheduled Bud for a toenail trim.

Fed the dogs some ham. Fed the fish. Put out new bird seed. There is an annoying squirrel out there chittering away. Hubby will have to shoot him tomorrow or Sunday.

I did homework, paid bills, got KRN's stuff ready to ship.

At 11:00, I loaded the dogs into the Dodge and drove to the Post Office to pick up a few Priority Mail boxes.

Then drove over to the Vet's. Took Ben inside. He weighs 128 pounds. Bud weighs 106 pounds. Vet bandaged up Ben's tail. Said that if he tears it off, or the cut reoccurs that we will have to dock his tail.

 Bloody Tail

Ben's Tail Fixed

I paid and we drove home. Dogs were desperate for water.

I worked on homework some more and then watched tv. Ate my pita salad. AICM Christine called and wanted to find out if I wanted to be booked out at 9AM as I had 10-1 back-to-back treatments. 

Ordered a Xmas sweatshirt from Zulily.

Dead bird on deck. Took it to where the cat hangs out. Hope it did not die of bird flu.

Got ready to go in to Clinic at 4:00.

Exhausted

THURSDAY
10-8-2015

Up at midnight to potty.

I wake up at 5:00 and go downstairs to potty. Then I get a blanket and sleep on the couch. I am too tired to go upstairs again.

Hubby comes down at 6:00AM and sits on the couch with Bud. He tries to shoot a squirrel outside, but it gets away from him.

He was going to leave at 6:45AM, but I told him to turn on the tv and watch it with me. We watch the morning news. I get up and take a bath at 7:00AM. He leaves for work. I ask him to wash my windshield.

I get dressed after my bath. I am exhausted & stressed already.

Feed the fish. Feed the deer. Dump out the bird seed as it is covered in water from rain yesterday.

Drove to school.

Saw pretty trees on drive to school.

Fall Color in Post Falls


At school, learned from Panda that we were back in our original room.

Took Chapter 14 Quiz & got 94% on it. I was not even there last week and only missed 2 out of 35.

We reviewed Chapter 15.

After class, I took my test from last week over Chapter 13.

Then I left for the day. Drove to Pita to get Pita Salad. Saw Mark on the way down the hill.

Ordered 3 pitas; 1 for today, 1 for Friday, 1 for Saturday.

At home, I picked up the mail which was junk. Fed ham to the dogs, cleaned up the deck, sprayed vinegar on the weeds in front of the deck, cleaned up dog water & food.

Started laundry.

Did my homework for Chapter 15.

Lil Bit is healing. He doesn't look like a pirate now!

Poor Lil Bit

Just Like A Bad Dream

WEDNESDAY
10/7/2015

Just like a bad dream, it keeps happening over & over.

Got up this morning at 6AM to potty, then got back into bed. Up at 6:45 to get dressed & see hubby off to work. Gave kisses & dog hugs.

Then I did some studying. Got everything packed into the Jeep and left for school.

I went outside to feed the fish & deer.

Drove to Post Falls and tanned at 9:00AM at Slick Rock.

Then drove to school at 9:20AM. Panda was there and waiting. I just sat down and waited for our teacher to come.

Finally, at 9:50, they decided to put us in the clinic room again, but they did not want us using the massage beds as "tables".

So Mark & Nick brought the tables in and set up chairs.

We took our Pop Quiz over chapter 14. Then Reviewed the rest of Chapter 14 and took a Quiz over chapter 14.

Left at 1:00; I picked up a Pita salad at Pita Pit. Had to walk in because there was a car in line that had a BUNCH of people in it ordering.

I drove home. Lots of slow cars going between 35-45 on Hwy 41. Very frustrating.

Picked up the mail on the way. There was a Deep Tissue Massage book in the mail that I had ordered.

At home, I gave the dogs fresh water & food. Fed them some ham.

Hubby came home early. We took a truck down to CDA Wheels and dropped it off. Hubby jumped in the Jeep with me. We drove to Walmart where I picked up some Cereve cream, some more Ball Mason jar lids, and fruit. Called KRN because she wanted Pumpkin and could not find any in Hawaii. I told her that I would get her some & send it to her.

Hubby picked up a Subway sandwich and met me out front of Walmart.

Then I drove home in the rain as he ate his Sub Sandwich. At home, we unloaded groceries and put them away. I did laundry. Hubby sat on the couch and fell asleep. Watched 1/2 of American Horror Story - Hotel, and You're The Worst.

Went to bed at 10:00.

KINES BAD

TUESDAY
10-6-2015

Got up at 7AM just as hubby was leaving for work. Kissed him goodbye and he cleaned my windshield before he left.

Dressed for school. Packed everything in the Jeep. Took all the birthday present and birthday decor for Tierzah's bday.

Drove to Walmart and picked up groceries. Needed laundry soap & rinse. Picked up dog meat & hotdogs on sale. Picked up more bird seed. Had to potty 3 times at the store with diarrhea. Too much healthy eating only Pita Salads. Cut back to lose weight.

Some Idiot Parks TOO Close

 Halloween Egg Nog???

Then went to school. Was behind Mark at the light on 41.

At school, we were assigned to a different room because the New class started today.

I failed the Kines test. Had to correct it to 74%. It was awful. No time to study because of changing rooms.

After class, Katie was not here today or for Clinic so I could not get my massage. I cancelled my tan appointment and picked up a Pita salad. Made deposit at bank.  Then drove home.

Picked up the mail. Mostly junk. Unloaded groceries. Unloaded school books.

Changed dog food & water. Fed deer. Fed birds new bird food.

I did Notecards homework for Pathology.

Hubby came home and we took the dogs for a walk in the park. Had to leash them up because a car was driving thru the park very fast.

Stopped for milk at Lil Town on the way home. Saw a cop pull over a Jeep. Had to wait for a train.

At home, hubby made dinner for himself. Cleaned up dog water again. Cleaned up Ben's bloody tail trail everywhere

MORE CLINIC TODAY

MONDAY
10-5-2015

Back to the daily grind!

Woke up at 6:30. Talked to hubby downstairs. He was rubbing Bud's back while they were sitting on the couch.

I got up and went in to see Ben in his new clean bed. He was so soft to rub & touch. Lil Bit came running into the room also and wanted up on the bed.

Then I got dressed in my Clinic clothes. Gave hubby a kiss goodbye and we did dog huggies. Then he left for work.

I did homework for Pathology notecards after that. Wrote out a check & put it in an envelope for water bill.

Only had to get there at 9:30 for Clinic because I started at 10:00.

2nd appointment was bad.

Then after Clinic was done, I stopped to get a Pita Salad. Stopped at Wendy's to get cheeseburgers with Mayo for dogs. Met hubby at the CO. Brandon was there.

I drove home. Picked up mail. Got refund check from Met because of over-coverage on too many vehicles on policy. Got check on Recall fix from Dodge.

Was exhausted. Very mad because of what happened at Clinic today.

I tried to take a nap, but was too upset.

Did homework.

Hubby came home late tonight.

I took a hot bath & tried to calm down. Naired my legs for tomorrow's massage appointment.

Went to bed at 10:30.

DAVENPORT WEEKEND

SATURDAY
10-3-2015

Woke up at 6AM. Had to get up by 6:30 so that we could pack. Put the massage chair in the Jeep. Fed the deer, Fed the fish, Fed the dogs.

Stopped in Post Falls to drop off Dave 2.0's SUV at his house. Then hubby jumped in the Jeep with me. I drove to Spokane.

Parked the Jeep in the Davenport valet parking so I could unload my chair. Hubby took the Jeep and left to go look at Pic-A-Part North in Spokane.

I went upstairs to the Hall of Doges to get set up for chair massage. They did not take my chair up and I had to go looking for it after I went to the potty. It was disgusting in the bathroom as people poop and don't flush. I had to check 3 toilets before I finally found one that was clean.

Then I went back to the Valet and my chair was still there. I told them I was looking for it and they said they had no clue about where I was. Dumb asses.

Walked it up with the Valet guy and he carried it up for me.

Panda got there. He carried his own chair.

Lydia got there later. No clock still...

We massaged from 9:30-1:30. I made quite a few tips. Cleaned up and left.

Hubby came to pick me up and I met him down at the valet. Unloaded our stuff & checked in with the front desk. At the check-in desk they could not find our reservation at first. It was mis-spelled. Gave them my credit gift certificates. Got room 403. Had to use our room key to check into the elevator for a (false sense of security). Our room was right by the elevators & ice/pop machine.

Comfy king-size bed. Nice room. We went down to eat at the Palm Court Grille because I was tired & famished. Hubby got French Onion Soup. I ordered Reuben sandwich with fries. We got Kahlua & cream, hubby got Bourbon with Cider. (yuck).

We came back upstairs to the room for a quick afternoon nap.

After we woke up from the nap about 5PM, we sat down on the 4th floor deck for a while in the waning late afternoon sunshine. Watched a fire engine race down the street towards the hospital.

Then wandered down to the street level. Decided to take a walk outside. Walked towards the theater, but instead went into a Wine-Tasting Room called Cougar Crest Estate Winery. It was quite fun. We bought a couple bottles of white wine.

 Wine Tasting

 Pretty Downtown Spokane


Hubby felt bad that we did not get to go over to the other wine tasting place that closed promptly at 6PM; the Lake Roosevelt Wine Company.

Went over to FIRE for oven roasted pizza, same one as in CDA, by the recommendation of the wine hostess. She was quite a hoot. Nice lady.

Had to go to Brews Bros coffee shop and get a tea (hubby got a strawberry smoothie) so that we could sober up and wait for the rush.


At Brews Bros

Went back to FIRE after 30 minutes and had delicious pizza. I had the Camino: roasted chicken breast, Kansas City bacon, red onion, aged white cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, chipotle bbq sauce, finished with fresh cilantro and habenero sea salt. While I had the Parma prosciutto, Gorgonzola, pecorino, mozzarella and provolone cheeses, finished with truffle oil.

Took our leftovers back to the room, which DID NOT HAVE A FRIDGE.

We were exhausted by 9PM. 

Worked on hubby's back while he was in the massage chair. Then he got into bed. Still complaining about his right knee. I rubbed that for him, too. Then I got into bed.

Fell asleep after watching a reality murder show on tv.


SUNDAY
10-4-2015

Woke up at 3AM and had to take a hot bath because my back was bothering me. Even in a comfortable bed, I am not comfortable!

Woke up again at 8AM. Hubby was still sleepy. I started getting dressed. Made reservations for our Brunch at 10:00.

We went down to Brews Bros and got morning lattes. They were very good. We carried them back to the Davenport to drink in the main sitting area. No piano playing, just crappy canned music.

Talked about hubby's dad's ill health. Then hubby talked about retiring. At 10PM, we went over and got seated by the fireplace. It was nice.

Sitting by the fireplace

Had brunch. Got stuffed. Excellent omelettes and crepes.



Brunch



Went up to room to pack & get ready to leave at 11:30. Called for our car & valet, but valet took over 30 minutes to get there.

Finally got checked out and paid. Got into Jeep and drove to Liberty Lake to see the property for sale there. Too remote & too high up on mountain. No view.

Stopped at latte stand in Post Falls to get more lattes. Drove to pick up hubby's truck at Dave 2.0. Then drove home. I got the mail at home. Hubby unloaded the Jeep. Dogs were happy to see us back. Took them for a walk in the park.

When we returned, hubby had to meet a guy down at the shop. Mark called and had broken down with truck & trailer in Bonner's Ferry. Have to call Chad to get it towed home.

We washed all the dogs. Washed Ben & Bud on the deck. Washed Lil Bit in the tub. Then I washed all the clothes we brought home. Washed all the dogs bed covers. Washed Ben's comforter cover for his bed.

Paid AE bill.

Exhausted by 6PM.

A Day of Rest

FRIDAY
10-2-2015

Hubby got up at 6:00. I got up after him. Had him do a cupping on my back again.

He left at 7:00. I was sleeping on the couch. I went back upstairs. It was cold in the house. Turned off the heater because it was making too much noise.

Lil Bit came back upstairs to sleep with me. I slept until 9:30.

AICM called to let me know of my schedule for the coming week.

I did laundry.

Fed fish. Fed deer. Fed wild cat outside. Cleaned the water up for the dogs. Gave them fresh food. Went down to get mail. Mark was here loading the Bronco with our dually onto the trailer.

Came back and got ready for Clinic Work.

Not Going To School Today

THURSDAY
10-1-2015

He had been checking his alarm & turning on the light for over 30 minutes before he finally got up. Then I got out of bed a few minutes after he did. I had to pee. Then had him put another cup on my back. Sat on the massage chair for a few minutes while watching morning news.

After hubby left for work, I went back to bed because my back hurt too much.

I texted Nick to find out if the October schedule had been released yet. He said no. Called the Registrar to let her know that I would not be attending class today because of my back.

Could not get in to Chiro until tomorrow morning.

I slept from 10-1. KRN texted me. Hubby texted me.

Then I got up and made Pumpkin Bread with chocolate chips.

Went to get the mail.

Paid bills online via the laptop.

My back felt awful so I sat on the heating pad all day.

Hubby came home after working OT.

Watched tv for a while, then went to bed.
