Woke up at 6AM with hubby. He is feeling sick again. His thumb still hurts from where he sliced it.
I went back to bed with Wilson and slept another 30 minutes with him and Ben.
Then I got up and gave the dogs some ham. Gave Bud his painkiller.
Went downstairs and cleaned up kitty litter. Gave the kittens some tuna for breakfast.
Shoveled decks for 2 hours because we got 7 more inches of snow.
I was exhausted.
Had to clean up Ben's vomit.
I made egg omelette for myself.
Then had to start Jeep to go into town.
Dropped off Xmas presents for KR at her home.
Then I drove to Starbucks where I met Kim.
We talked for 2 hours. She gave me a birthday present little bag and 2 cupcakes, and I gave her the "Raindrop Technique Essential Oil Collection" and Stress Relief Lotion that I had gotten for her.
Hubby came to pick up his vacation schedule. I unlocked the Jeep for him.
Kim and I looked at the Verismo Coffee Pod machine. It was on sale, so I purchased it for hubby.
I also got a peppermint / chocolate latte. It tasted horrible.
Kim and I left to go over to Walmart when a family with 4 kids sat down in front of us and the kids started screaming.
I got tuna for the kitties at Walmart.
Then I brought Kim back to her car. Hugged her goodbye.
Drove home. I was exhausted.
At home, unloaded everything. Gave ham to dogs. Made myself a sandwich. It tasted awful.
The snow from the roof had fallen on the side of the deck. Now we have a 4 foot berm on the side of the house.
Hubby got home at 5PM. He is still sick. He sat on the couch for a while.
I made him a latte with the Verismo machine.

DAY AFTER XMAS
MONDAY
DECEMBER 26 2016
Got up at 8AM. We actually slept late!
I fed the cats & cleaned up after them.
Hubby was cutting ham to feed the dogs and accidentally fileted his left thumb. We quickly wrapped it up. I started the Jeep as I thought he might have to go in to the ER for stitches, but he refused.
I made his Biscuits & Sausage leftovers for breakfast and he napped on the couch.
Cats were playing upstairs in the bedrooms while I gave the dogs some Xmas bones to quiet them all down.
We watched The Secret Life of Pets and afterwards hubby rewrapped his cut thumb. He went outside to shovel the side deck for the dogs.
I took the Xmas tree down to the basement back room. Then I started taking down some of the Xmas decor.

Hubby was working on the crab & lobster when we got back. He was done.
We had lunch. KR & Hubby fell asleep on the couches.

We cleaned up and went to bed exhausted.

Got up at 8AM after Charles had called at 6:30 to wake us up. We had both gotten up and peed earlier. Both of us had brought water up for Beebo as he likes to drink while he is napping.
Hubby ran down to get eggs at Lil Town, he also got a latte because they were open in Athol.
I had fed the cats tuna, cleaned up after them. Gotten everything ready for hubby to make the eggs. I brought up a sausage log and cut it up; toasted English muffins for his egg sandwich, gotten out the cook pan.

18TH DAY OF XMAS AND 5 INCHES OF SNOW
SUNDAY
12-18-2016
Got up at 7AM. Could not sleep late.
Hubby made eggs for dogs while I cleaned up the cats and fed them tuna for breakfast.
We had to shovel off the decks of 5 inches more of snow before we were able to load the dogs into the Dually.
I purchased AAA Comprehensive Road Side Service for KR as a Xmas present.
KR had texted and called this morning about leaving her Jeep at a bar downtown; The RockerRoom. She had lost her keys on the dance floor and could not find them in the dark. So she had friends take her home after the Work Xmas Party.
Drove to Spirit Lake to pick up drinks.
It has been difficult for me to walk in the park because of the uneven terrain due to the snow this week. So we drove around in Spirit Lake looking for barking dogs outside. It was quite fun; we found several. Then we walked the dogs at Timberlake High School.
As it was only 12 degrees instead of the 21 degrees they had predicted, the bitter wind & cold got to us immediately. We cut short the walk.
Stopped at Miller's to get groceries. I wanted a roast and they have the best meat there. Got potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, tomatoes.
Went home and put the roast in the slow cooker.
After we unloaded the dogs, we went in the Jeep to Rathdrum and got another latte. Then we stopped at KR's home to find her spare key. Tore apart her back bedroom.
Loaded Beebo up with us because he seemed lonely. He had already torn apart an animal. Drove over via Seltice (lots of idiot drivers in the snow) to CDA and found her car. Hubby knocked on the front door of the Bar. A kind man that was sitting in the back of the bar came to the door and found KR's keys behind the cash register. Hubby tipped him a $20.
We got her Jeep started and while it was warming up, Beebo and Grammy took a walk around the block. Beebo peed everywhere.
Drove back to KR's home via Seltice again. Parked her Jeep in the garage. Then we drove back home. Stopped at Stein's in Rathdrum so hubby could get tuna for cat's breakfast tomorrow as we were out of tuna. He forgot to get eggs!
Beebo had fun at Gpa & Gma's house. He barked at things outside, played with Wilson, played with the kitties. He was very tired. Slept under the Xmas tree.
We watched TV, went to bed late at midnight.

Another 5 inches of snow
I purchased AAA Comprehensive Road Side Service for KR as a Xmas present.
KR had texted and called this morning about leaving her Jeep at a bar downtown; The RockerRoom. She had lost her keys on the dance floor and could not find them in the dark. So she had friends take her home after the Work Xmas Party.

Drove to Spirit Lake to pick up drinks.
It has been difficult for me to walk in the park because of the uneven terrain due to the snow this week. So we drove around in Spirit Lake looking for barking dogs outside. It was quite fun; we found several. Then we walked the dogs at Timberlake High School.
As it was only 12 degrees instead of the 21 degrees they had predicted, the bitter wind & cold got to us immediately. We cut short the walk.
Stopped at Miller's to get groceries. I wanted a roast and they have the best meat there. Got potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, tomatoes.
Went home and put the roast in the slow cooker.
After we unloaded the dogs, we went in the Jeep to Rathdrum and got another latte. Then we stopped at KR's home to find her spare key. Tore apart her back bedroom.
Loaded Beebo up with us because he seemed lonely. He had already torn apart an animal. Drove over via Seltice (lots of idiot drivers in the snow) to CDA and found her car. Hubby knocked on the front door of the Bar. A kind man that was sitting in the back of the bar came to the door and found KR's keys behind the cash register. Hubby tipped him a $20.
We got her Jeep started and while it was warming up, Beebo and Grammy took a walk around the block. Beebo peed everywhere.
Drove back to KR's home via Seltice again. Parked her Jeep in the garage. Then we drove back home. Stopped at Stein's in Rathdrum so hubby could get tuna for cat's breakfast tomorrow as we were out of tuna. He forgot to get eggs!
Beebo had fun at Gpa & Gma's house. He barked at things outside, played with Wilson, played with the kitties. He was very tired. Slept under the Xmas tree.

We watched TV, went to bed late at midnight.

17TH DAY OF XMAS & MORE BITTER COLD
SATURDAY
12-17-2016
-4 degrees last night. Brrrr.
Hubby's first day of Vacation.
Got up at 7AM. Wilson woke us up. He had gotten in bed with us early this morning.
We got up. Hubby made eggs for the dogs. I fed the cats some Spam. No tuna left, have to go grocery shopping.
I cleaned out the cat room so that hubby could take a shower. Vacuumed, put the aromizer in for the Xmas smell, turned on the Air Purifier, steam cleaned the floor.
I vacuumed the carpet downstairs.
Hubby went to take his shower.
He brought the vacuum up when he was done. I cleaned it out.
Then I steam cleaned the upstairs floors.
Steam cleaned the rugs.
My left ring finger started bleeding again where I cut it on the Xmas tree last night.
By then it was 10AM and we loaded the dogs up to go for a walk.
Latte stand in Athol was closed again. Hubby was pissed.
We drove to the Frisbee golf area. I lost hold of Wilson. Wilson ran far, far away and was trying to catch some deer.
We tricked him and walked back to the truck. He thought we were leaving and came racing after us. It was bitterly cold. Only about 6 degrees. Dogs were struggling, so we decided to leave. Hubby had to take a picture of the Dually by the road.
Hubby dropped off his transmission at the tranny guy on Llewellyn Creek road.
We drove to Spirit Lake, got lattes. It was SO cold outside. Hubby got gas at the station.
Came home, got the mail. Idaho Dept of License sent me a letter stating that I needed to provide a marriage license.
Unloaded dogs. Ben ran away to the shop.
Hubby drove down to the shop to get Ben and bring him back.
I finished Steam Cleaning floors in the bathroom and dog room. I washed the pad where Wilson had vomited the other night.
I washed my hair.
Wilson has severe dandruff from his wash the other day. The shampoo really poisoned him.

16th Day of Xmas and BITTER COLD
DECEMBER 16 2016
FRIDAY
Last day of the week for hubby. Then he has 10 days vacation.
It is 6 degrees when I wake up this morning. No snow, tho. I can't tolerate any more snow shoveling.
Fed the dogs eggs. Vet said bland foods for Wilson. Gave Bud his painkiller in the eggs.
Gave the kittens their morning tuna and cleaned up the litter. Let them out of the basement room. They came upstairs to sleep.
I paid payments because hubby got paid today.
Put away laundry. Put away dishes.
Ordered some stuff on Young Living Essential Oils.
We have only received 1 Xmas card in the post this year. How dismal. I decided that I will not send any cards to the people back in Iowa because they have never reciprocated. They have always been rude.
Tried to move the heavy, clumsy Xmas tree over and it fell over onto my finger. It cut my left ring finger. Had to wrap it up in a band-air with antibiotic cream on it.
So hubby got home at 5PM. He had already run over to Toothless' home in Rathdrum with Larry to pick up his transmission, but Toothless was not home. So he said that he would come back at 6:30.
We got ready to go. Took Buddy with us. Drove to get lattes in Rathdrum, then drove to his home. Picked up the transmission. Then some tweakers were driving down the road (by the RR tracks, single lane in heavy snow) they were idiots. Had to have them back up. Idiots.
We drove to Post Falls for Tom & Naomi's 1 year anniversary Xmas party. They had Costco pizza, Naomi made Biscott, Naomi ordered a Xmas tree cupcake display. We only stayed for a little while, then washed Dually, drove home. It was late.
I took a bath when we got home. I was hurting all over.
Went to bed at 10PM.

15th Day of Xmas & 5 INCHES OF SNOW & WILSON to ER
DECEMBER 15 2016
THURSDAY
Got up at 7:30.
Gave leftover turkey to the dogs. Gave Bud his painkiller.
I fed the cats Tuna and cleaned up after them. Some cat had peed on the tile. Bad cats!
Kim called and we talked for about 30 minutes.
Then I had to go out on the decks and shovel 5 inches of SNOW. It was only 15 degrees out this morning.
I shoveled the driveway, too.
KR had to drive down to Lewiston for a small claims court appearance for work.
Hubby called and said that traffic was backed up bumper-to-bumper on Hwy 41 only going 10 mph. Awful. I hope all the Californians go back home because of the bad weather!
Since my Sorels don't fit, I purchased new Joan of Arctic in black from Zappos.

I took Wilson down at 4PM to Diane's Pampered Pooches for Grooming. Brought him back at 5:30. Had to stop for train. Met Diane's cute little Rottweilers. I fell in love with them.
Hubby got home at 6:00. It was really cold outside.

We went down to Grey Goose to have dinner.
By the time we got back, Wilson had vomited yellow bile everywhere. In the dog room on the beds, on the pad for the laundry room seat, on the couches. So hubby hurriedly got dressed while I ran outside to catch Wilson who had gone out to poo & vomit in the snow.
We raced down to Post Falls (saw a two-car accident in Rathdrum with a fire truck & 6 cop cars blocking the intersection) Emergency Vet to get him diagnosed.
They took X-rays and said no Xmas lights or anything blocking his tummy. They gave him an injection of a anti nausea medication. Then we drove back home.
By the time we got home, it was 9:30. Watched a little tv and went to bed.

14th Day of Xmas
WEDNESDAY
12-14-2016
Brrrr cold. It was only 7 degrees when I got up this morning.
Hubby had already left and I said goodbye to him.
Wilson was tucked away sleeping in bed with me. He was nice and warm. Then Ben got into bed with us, too.
We slept until 7:15.
Got up and fed the dogs ham. Gave Buddy his painkiller.
I fed the kitties tuna and cleaned up the litter.
They played around the house all day.
I went to get mail in the Jeep. It was utterly too cold to walk down there.
I signed up for replacement on our Cuisinart blades. They had a recall because of pieces of the blade falling apart and people getting cut on pieces they accidentally ate.
KR's pillows & stuff came via Fed Ex.
I did laundry & dishes.
Vacuumed the basement and cleaned the kitty room.
Hubby got home at 6:30PM. He then went to deliver a transmission to a guy that lives south of Athol.
It is getting cold again. Only 15 degrees at 7PM.
