MY B-DAY / RAIN

 FRIDAY

12-31-2021 

Awake at 6:35. Hubby got up and put a candle in a cupcake then brought it to me. I blew out the candle. He had Google Home play "Happy Birthday" song to me.

I got up and made lattes. Stripped the bed. Have had something biting me the past 2 days. I think I got chiggers from pulling weeds in the front yard the other day. 

Started laundry.

Watched Colorado News about all the homes burning in Boulder. 

Hubby and Tater left for the shop. I put TWO sweatshirts on Tater to keep him warm. I walked them out the front door. We kissed and Hubby left.

I got back in the house and found that Hubby had left his phone at home. 

I contacted him on the WYZE at the shop and told him I would bring the phone down.

I drove to the shop in the FMF and gave him the phone. Chatted to Chris.

Drove back home.

Started more laundry. Did bookwork.

 

Walked down to the USPS box to get the mail. I got a b-day card from Brandi & Casey.

 

Called Met Life regarding payment info. Got a Last billing in mail.

 

MetLife/Farmers hung up on me twice. So I think we will go to the local Farmers office. 

 

I got done with all the bookwork that I am doing today. 

 

I made bacon/stuffing roll-ups. Put them in the oven.

 

I sat down to watch Criminal Minds. I am SO TIRED.

 

It started raining hard at 2PM.

 

Kept doing more laundry. Got the bedding done. 

At 3:30PM, Andy called and I had forgotten my nail appointment. 

 

Backing the car out, I saw Dave & Carmen had tied birthday balloons to a folding chair in our front yard. 

 

So I rushed down to GS Nails. I had no money and Hubby brought some over.

 

I got back at 4:10. 

 

Hubby got home at 4:30PM.

 

Hubby started making Seared Scallop Chowder for my birthday. It was delicious. No bread bowl, but we had purchased "everything" croissants. They were yummy. Had my birthday cupcake afterwards. 

I took marijuana and went to bed at 8:30PM.

Hubby stayed up late and at midnight heard the fireworks at the Casinos.

Up at 7AM. Hubby made breakfast for puppies. He let them out for potty.

 

Brought dog beds under the patio because it was raining outside.

 

I helped Hubby break down the dog kennel so we don't have to store it in the dining room. He put it in the garage.

I made lattes & Nanogreens.

I paid NOV Retail Sales tax. I got the Mesquite City Business License ready to take in and pay. Gave it to Hubby. Also gave him a check to deposit at MACU.

Did bookwork.

 

Unloaded dirty clothes out of RV camper.

Picked up dog poo. Threw away dead bird in garbage. 

Cleaned up cat litter.

Got house ready for Yogi Window Cleaning, but he arrived late and said that he had just gotten his Covid booster shot and wanted to re-schedule. 

I put away more laundry.

 

Hubby got home at 4PM. 

 

I paid the American Express bill. 

 

Then we took the Dually to Walmart. Left the dogs home. 

 

Got groceries for New Year's Eve. 

 

Lots of stupid people in Walmart, walking 5 abreast in the aisles, LOTS of rug-rats screaming. 

 

We came home and unloaded the RV. Then I drove it to the Community Center. Hubby got a parking pass. 

 

We came home and unloaded groceries.

 

Hubby started to make Scallop Chowder for my birthday. 

 

Watched TV for a while. Criminal Minds.

ARRIVE IN SEATTLE 

I am exhausted from the trip to Seattle and having had the COVID vaccine booster before we left. I go into the front room of KR & Spencer's house to sleep. I cover up with a blanket. KR later brings me a heated blanket. I pass out and lose hours...feel odd when I finally wake up.

KR & Spencer go to play Trivia at a Bar while Hubby stays home with me & the dogs. 

Beebo is having problems breathing. He seems really out of it, but he manages tail wags all the time when Grammy & Grampy are near. I kiss his ear and he growls. I love that damn little dog.

 

LOLA VISITS US IN FRONT ROOM WHERE I AM SLEEPING

 

THURSDAY

DAY WE PUT BEEBO DOWN  

BURLESQUE SHOW LAND OF THE SWEETS AT THE TRIPLE DOOR

FRIDAY

CHRISTMAS EVE

 

We go to Pike Place Market and walk around. IT RAINS A LOT. We get Ginger Beer and sit to eat Chowder in Bread Bowls. Mine was Seared Scallop bread bowl and I loved it. So warm and the bread bowl was made of sourdough.

We walk thru Pike Place. Most people are already getting ready to leave. Packing up things. I did not find anything Christmasy to buy. 

 

Kids stop to get popcorn, but I have an attack of diarrhea and Hubby takes me over to the nearest Bar that has a bathroom. He buys a beer and I go potty. Kids meet us there.

 

Then we go to the huge Starbucks main building. Spencer takes us inside to get specialty food & drinks that are not offered anywhere else. We sit for a while in the building, sip on lattes that Spencer purchased for us, and then leave.

 

 

STARBUCKS BUILDING

 

We go to the Cannabis shop that the kids prefer on the way home. I left my ID in the car. So had to go get it. We find no gummies that we like and leave.  The store is kinda creepy.

We return to their house and then we watch Xmas shows. 

 

 DOGS NAPPING AT KR'S HOUSE

Hubby and I go to bed later. 

SATURDAY

12-25-2021

XMAS DAY

 

KR makes pull apart cinnamon rolls - Monkey Bread. It is delicious. But Hubby said she threw out the rest while he wanted to snack on it all day.

KR announces that they 'DO NOT SNACK ALL DAY' which disappoints us as we need to eat! She makes a roast stew. It was good, but disappointing. She promised us Snickerdoodle & Eggnog cookies. I had brought stuff with me to make Soda Cracker cookies. But I did not suggest doing anything.

Spencer plays Santa and passes out the presents.

We play games all day. Then we watch Xmas shows.

 

 

 

TATER IN HIS XMAS SCARF AT KR'S HOUSE

 

 

WILSON IN XMAS SCARF AT KR'S HOUSE

 

 

We walk the dogs one more time before we go to bed. The lights on the whole street are very pretty.

 

KR & SPENCER'S HOUSE AT NIGHT WITH XMAS LIGHTS

 

 

SUNDAY

12-26-2021

LEAVING SEATTLE

 

Got up at 7:30AM. It was cold outside.

 

Hubby walked dogs while I fixed lattes in the RV.  

 

Gave the dogs some ham and left-over breakfast sandwiches. 

We found that there had been significant snowfall last night. Hubby quickly got a ladder and cleaned off the slide-outs so that we could close them.  

Finally, at 8AM, I texted KR & Spencer because there was no lights on inside the house. Hubby then knocked on the door and Spencer opened the door for us. We asked if they could move the car so we could leave. The snow was already getting heavier.

We brought the dogs inside the house to be warm.

KR yelled at us again as usual - accusing us of being RUDE and waking them up early to "expect us to move our cars for you". I was shocked & speechless, but Hubby tried to deflect and said we needed to get going because of the WINTER STORM. Spencer got his phone and said "they did not know about a Winter Storm". WTF. WHY is this kid such a brat? This hurt me so deeply again. I don't know why she keeps attacking us like this when we bend over backwards for her. Money, Housing, Support. Nothing is ever enough. We need to step back again and eliminate this toxic behavior from our lives. 

So they got dressed. Spencer moved the car. We finally said goodbyes after staying for another 30 minutes as the weather got worse. This put us in the WORST OF THE STORM ALL THE WAY HOME. If we had left earlier, the trip would not have been so bad.

We finally got on the road at 9AM. 

Travel was awful on the Interstate as Seattle does not have much snow removal equipment.

We stopped for fuel in XXXXXX.

We drove on and Tacoma was not bad at all - no traffic back-ups.

We took the State Highway 22 to Highway 20. Traffic was backed up as people were crawling thru only a couple inches of snow on the road with blowing snow. What should have taken us 2 hours ended up taking 4 hours. When we got to Sisters, Oregon it got better and cars got off the road. We got to Bend, Oregon at about 5PM. It was dark.

Instead of staying at the Campground we stayed at before, The RV was froze. Water lines froze, Hubby was scared to put the slide-outs. Thinking that they would get snow on them and melt inside the RV. 

So we stayed at a LaQuinta Inn and then ate at the Shari's right across the street. We left the dogs in the RV with it running to keep them warm. 

 

TIRED DOGS AT HOTEL

 

Had a wonderful warm meal. There was only 1 waitress on staff and she was run ragged. So we gave her a $100 tip. She cried and was speechless. 

We went to the hotel room and got warm for the night. Snow still falling.

There was a latte stand right next to the hotel and Hubby said he would visit it the next day.

Gave the dogs some leftover food from the restaurant. 

 

We both took showers before bed.

Went to bed early. We were both exhausted from the travel.

MONDAY

12-27-2021

 

Up early because we wanted to start when the sun was up to avoid the cold.

Hubby had walked the dogs. I got dressed. Hubby had stopped to get lattes but they were crap tasting. I threw mine out. 

We got ready and loaded the dogs into the RV. 

Hubby went to get me another latte (white coffee) but it was awful, too. 

We went over to Fred Meyer across the street to get fuel. 

We stopped at McDonalds and got breakfast sandwiches for the puppies.

Then we took State Highway 20 out of Bend, Oregon. 

Drove from Bend, Oregon to Burns. Not such a bad road. Not very many people on road.

We stopped several times at the side of the road to walk the dogs. 

Stopped in Burns, Oregon and got lattes at a small stand. I walked the dogs while Hubby ordered. It was SO COLD.

VERY deserted from State Highway 78 out of Burns then south on State Highway 95 to Winnemucca. This was the most challenging drive as it was high mountains with lots of bends in the highway. Hubby did not have to pass anybody. There was literally NOBODY else on this stretch of road.

So we got into Winnemucca and fueled up again. 

We walked the dogs.

Then got on the Interstate 80. West of Winnemucca was closed as Reno had 17 feet of snow and had closed the Intersstate. 

The Interstate was cleared in some areas and snow covered in others. IT CONTINUED TO SNOW THE WHOLE TRIP.

We got off in Battle Mountain at 4PM as it was time to fuel up again. Hubby found a place. Then we looked for a place to camp in the RV. But Hubby was again concerned about parking it and snow piling up.

So we stopped at the Super 8 and got a room for the night. We could see the RV parked from next to our room. 

We ordered pizza from Mama's Pizza & Deli in town. They delivered about 1 hour later. 

We both took showers again. IT WAS SO COLD IN THE ROOM!

Took the last of the marijuana and went to bed. 

TUESDAY

12-28-2021

 

Early start in the morning.

I brought the latte machine into the hotel room and made lattes for us. It was nice to warm up.

Hubby took the dogs for a walk, but Tater saw another dog and pulled out of Hubby's hands. Hubby dropped the lattes. I had to pick up everything as Hubby went to calm down the dog and the woman that was walking the dog. Tater just wants to play when he sees other dogs.

Hubby left the door open and I had to shut it as we pulled out of the hotel parking lot. 

We pulled over and Hubby went to get breakfast sandwiches for the dogs at the McDonalds next door to the hotel.

Got on Interstate 80 again and drove east towards Elko. Just past Carlin we went thru a huge tunnel next to the Humboldt River. 

 

SCARY TUNNEL EAST OF CARLIN, NV

 

 

Then got directions from our neighbors - Dawn & Garry to find out how to get home from there. We drove to Wells. Got off and fueled up at the Flying J Travel Center. I went potty as the pipes & waterline in the RV was frozen. 

Walked the dogs while Hubby put Diesel in the RV. 

We then took 93 South. It was still snowing. 

Lots of little towns that were cute to drive thru.

 

Still snowing and snow covered roads.

 

Drove into Ely and stopped to get more fuel at Love's Travel Stop. It seemed colder here than any other place. Blowing wind. Travel stop was not very well cleaned out of snow. People struggling to get cars moved in the snow.

 

Then we drove south again thru the mountains. VERY pretty. 

 

 NEAR PIOCHE, NV

 

Drove into Caliente and it was beautiful. We stopped to walk the dogs at the park. As we were driving thru the town, we saw LOTS of deer eating grass in the yards. It was amazing. 

Continued to drive south. Drove into another SEVERE SNOW STORM just 1 hour out of Mesquite. I almost cried because it was just too much! 

We finally turned at Coyote Springs, NV and took State Highway 168 into Moapa. Got on the Interstate 5 at Moapa and drove north to Mesquite. 

I was never so happy to see home!

Hubby wanted to drive to Las Vegas to get the snow and slop off the RV. But I told him it was too late and he would be gone a minimum of 3 hours. So he just parked it and we unloaded what we need that night. 

It smelled delicious when we got in the house - like the Evergreen Glade fresheners that I had left. The kitties needed their litter done again. There was mail on the counter. Betty had picked up the mail & taken care of the cats for us. We got her wine from a Winery in Seattle.

Let the dogs out immediately. Gave them treats. 

I took some  Melatonin and marijuana and went to bed early. It was so very nice to sleep in our bed again.

ROAD TRIP MILES = 1277

HUBBY & GANG GO ON TRAIL RIDE

 SUNDAY

12-19-2021

 

 

 

 

 

 

Up at 5:30AM to potty. Hubby was already on the sofa. Had been up since 5AM and could not sleep.

 

I went back to bed with the puppies until 7AM. 

 

I got up and made lattes. Hubby had already put dogs out for potty and made breakfast eggs for them. 

 

Hubby and I loaded dogs into Dually and drove to Wendys for my breakfast sandwich. We got back home and Hubby took off in the UTV for the ride. It was only 38 degrees. I made him wear his UnderArmor shirt. 

I twisted my knee when Rattler got into the garage as I was saying Goodbye to Hubby. I shut the door quickly and yelled at the cat, who returned to the house.

 

I cleaned up kitchen dishes and put in dishwasher.

 

I changed kitty litter. 

 

 I vacuumed house. I did 3 loads of laundry. 

I picked up dog poo. 

I put away clean dishes. 

I took Wilson outside and brushed him thoroughly. Dog hair everywhere!

Hubby got back at 1PM. He had a brief lunch. Was really hungry. I had to turn up the heat because he was cold. Bryson rode with him. Casey & Chris drove their own UTVs. They got lost from the group. Went to 3-States, Thelma & Louise.

We took the ornaments to everybody in the neighborhood, Garry & Dawn were not home. 

 

• Nancy & Marks
• Stan & Betty (who had just put their youngest cat to sleep - cancer) 
• Paul & Chris (Chris gave us candy like last year)
• Steve & LeAnn
• Norm & Linda (who were not home and we left it on their porch)
• Janet (we left Faye's with Janet)
• Kerry (was not home-we left Dana & Shauna's with her)
• Scott
• Kathy & Irl
  

By now, my knee was screaming in agony. 

 

Then we loaded dogs into Dually and drove to Dog Park. Tater really whined to go. It was 4PM by now.  

We let the dogs run around at the park for about 30 minutes. The sun went down and it got COLD! I did not have on warm clothes, so I got back in the Dually and turned up the heat. 

We drove to Scenic and picked up the RV. I drove it home. It took a while to warm up. No heated seats yet!

At home, we parked the RV in the front of the house. 

Hubby made dinner for himself. I took marijuana and a hot bath. 

Hubby started putting clothes out for tomorrow to pack.

I went to bed at 9PM.

I picked up dog poo and put warm water in the bird bath.

We took the Dually and left dogs at home. Stopped at Wendys for breakfast sandwich. Then we went to Walmart to get vaccinated, but they were not open until 9AM. So we went to the shop and met a guy down there to sell a windshield. We returned BACK to Walmart. I walked in ahead of Hubby. There were already 20 people in line. I decided to make an appointment.

Had to be back at 9:30-11:30AM for the install on the NEW REFRIGERATOR. Same exact model. Probably will die in 3 years. 

The guys from Blvd Home were already here with the truck. I raced inside to get the dogs put outside,

Hubby took t-shirts and gifts to the guys out at Flying J tire store - Road Runner. Ralph and all the guys. Hubby sent a pizza on Friday. They were very happy.

Hubby

 

We watched The Orville on TV for a while. It is difficult to get into as the married couple fight SO MUCH. Not fun to watch.

Up at 7AM.

I went to make lattes. Had to pour milk from out on the side patio.

 

Hubby got dressed. Then he cleaned the cat litter. I went outside to pick up dog poo.

 

I put fresh warm water out in the bird bath. There was frost everywhere. 

 

We put collars on dogs and loaded them in the Dually.

 

Drove to Wendys.

 

Got a nice Xmas package from Brenda at Wendys. She is such a sweetie.

 

Gave us Free 1 Year of Frosty's coupon, a $20 gift certificate, a candle, and some Ferrero Rocher candies.

 

I had boxed, but not wrapped - a Xmas card with $, a RMOR t-shirt, and 

We drove home. Hubby dropped me & Wilson off.

 

I started doing bookwork. Then I watched TV for a while.

 

I put on make-up and changed clothes. 

 

I loaded boxes from UPS/USPS and Wilson in to the FMF at 11:00. We stopped to get mail.

Then we drove to the America First Credit Union to get counter checks to transfer money to a different bank.

We drove to the shop. I transferred stuff into the Dually. Hubby finally left at 11:55AM. I parked my FMF in the Dually spot. Some asshole guy had to get behind Hubby in the parking lot, so I had to hurry to get into the truck.

We drove the back way (had to pass some REALLY SLOW cars going 25mph) I thought we were going to be late. 

Got on the interstate I-15 and no cars were backed up!

We had 35 minutes to get to St George. Made it with 10 minutes to spare. We walked the dogs by the trail. It was sandy and wet. Some crazy homeless lady was wandering around the parking lot with her shopping cart.

I went in and got my hair done by Brinley. I don't think she put enough product into it and it won't be as soft. Oh, well. 

I tipped her $150 for Xmas and gave her a blue pumpkin that I made.

Hubby picked me up at 2:30PM. Dogs were happy to see me.

 

We drove back to get a honey Corn Dog from the corndog truck. Some guy was selling Bonsai trees on the corner. LOTS of people in line at Dutch Bros coffee. 

We gave some of the hot dogs to the dogs.

Drove to Moto Zoo. Hubby took in shirts & $100 in an Xmas envelope to Matt. 

We drove to Littlefield.

Stopped at Flying J. Hubby got Diesel fuel, went inside to get lottery tickets & donuts with Holiday sprinkles.

 

Drove to the shop. Guys were still there working. I loaded dogs into the FMF and drove home.

 

Let dogs out for potty, unloaded stuff in car. 

 

Hubby came home about 30 minutes later.  

We were settling down for the night when KR called. She said that Beebo is getting worse. Will have to have a visiting nurse come to "put him to sleep soon". Beebo is in pain as his cancer caused his kidney to fail. Now have lots of pain moving. 

 

Upon hearing the news, we were devastated. Cannot imagine what KR is going thru. This puppy has been her ROCK for the last 13 years. Her best friend, her companion, her Mr. B. 

 

Interrupted by a phone call from a neighbor who was having problems with his UTV. 

 

Then we said goodbye to KR. 

 

Neighbor came to our door to complain about his fuel leaking in his garage from his UTV.

 

Hubby called Casey to come get the UTV. He hauled it to the shop. 

 

I took marijuana and went to bed at 8PM.

Hubby had to put all food outside (it was 41 degrees) and got the truck fridge from the garage to put more food inside. 

Hubby tried to pull the fridge out and clean behind/underneath. But it was still not helping. We need to buy new fridge. 

I cleaned up dog poo outside.

We stayed for 1.5 hours and then left. I could barely walk in my high heels - hips and right knee hurts. 

 

At home, I took marijuana. Had a hot bath. 

 

At 8:30PM, Chris S called Hubby and said he had tires but it would be late when he came thru Mesquite to unload.

 

I went to bed. At 10:30PM, Hubby came to wake me up and say he was leaving. 

 

UNLOADING TIRES AT SHOP

 

 

Dogs barked and barked. 

 

Hubby got back at midnight? Then he stayed up til 2AM. Finally came to bed.

SATURDAY AND COLD, COLD, COLD

 SATURDAY

Up at 6AM. Did not sleep well. Only took Melatonin and I was awake every 30 minutes. 

 

I cut the plastic bags off my feet as I had soaked them in cream all night long. I have a HUGE open crack in my left heel that makes it very difficult to walk. 

 

Hubby made breakfast eggs for dogs & fed them. 

 

Bella kept trying to eat Tater's eggs. She can only have her food because she has a MASSIVE amount of allergies. I think she is allergic to our home as she itches all the time.

 

I made lattes & Nanogreens.

 
Hubby vacuumed the house. He cleaned out the cat litter. 

I picked up dog poo outside.

Hubby took a shower at 9:30AM and washed Tater, then Wilson with him. I dried Tater off with a towel really well and let him run around outside with Bella. Then Hubby washed Wilson and I dried him off. I put him outside for a while.

I had to get the vacuum out again as Wilson had hair chunks EVERYWHERE.

 

We started the washing machine with 1 load of towels, 1 load of clothes, and 1 load of bedding.

I brushed Wilson outside and almost got a whole other dog of hair off him!

I tried to brush Robert to get his matted hair off his back, but the brush did not work. I have to get a comb.

Put away clean dishes. 

Did laundry all day.

Hubby watched Automotive shows and ordered parts. 

I did bookwork. 

I made the 2021 Xmas card and put it on MyPostcard and paid to send it out to all our friends/relatives.

We watched pay-per-view movies on TV - NOBODY starring Bob Odenkirk. It was REALLY good. And we watched WRATH OF MAN with Jason Statham. It was also good.

Hubby took marijuana early along with Benadryl so he could sleep. He was snoring by 7PM and in bed by 9PM.

I cleaned up the house. Put away the sausage cream cheese wheels, put dishes in the dishwasher, put dirty clothes away.

I went to bed finally after our comforter was done drying at 10PM.

Up at 6:15AM to potty. Then back to bed. 

 

Awake again in a few minutes. 

 

Hubby let the dogs outside and stood out under the deck to make sure they did not bark. Bella likes to bark wildly at nothing like all stupid German Shepherds.

 

Hubby fed the dogs left over eggs for breakfast. 

 

I go to the kitchen to make lattes & Nanogreens.  

I start laundry. I put away breakfast dishes and start dishwasher.

I start sorting things out on the computer for the shop.

Hubby has cart orders for me to fill out. Then I have to fill out Vendor Apps.

Hubby and Tater leave for work at 8:30AM. Hubby loaded all the boxes that have to be returned to Amazon.

I work on filling out Vendor Apps until Noon. It is such a time-fucking consuming work. All these idiot places want something different on their apps.

 

At 11AM, the neighbors have a huge shit pumping truck in their front yard and it makes an enormous noise. They are pumping sewage out of their hook-up at the street. Fucking Idiots. 

I put Wilson and Bella out several times. It continues to rain. Pours down around Noon.

 

Put away laundry. Put away clean dishes.  

 

Hubby got home with Tater at 3:15PM. 

We watched TV - CSI: Crime Scene Investigation for a while. 

Joe H called Hubby at 7PM. They talked for 1 hour. Joe was telling us how he had Covid.

I took marijuana at 8PM. Went to bed at 10PM.

Very cold today. Had to turn on fireplace.

Hubby came home at 2PM to pick up parts from UPS. Transmission, etc. He dropped Tater off. I let dogs out for potty. Hubby left again.

I gave snacks to dogs.

I finished doing books at 4PM.

Hubby encountered some asshole trucker that whined about getting access to the other business in the complex. 

Hubby took Casey home and picked up Bella.

Hubby brought Bella home. She barked a lot. Had to corral the cats into our bedroom with their potty in the shower so they could hide from Bella. Bella hate cats.

 

Then he went back to Walmart to get groceries.

Bella barked at the Fed Ex guy that came to drop off a package (Hubby's bumper for his Dually).

Hubby got back with groceries. And brought in Bella's food, electric collar. 

I did bookwork.

I went to get the mail.

 

We had to deal with Bella barking.  

I took marijuana pretzels & Melatonin.

Took a hot bath. Went to bed at 10PM.
