SATURDAY /SEPTEMBER 30 / CINNAMON CAFE/ FINISH PATIO WALL WITH PAINT / CLOUDY & COOL

 SATURDAY 

SEPTEMBER 30 2023

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hubby was up at 1:45AM to let the dogs outside. Too much beef jerky from yesterday.

Then I got up shortly after. My shoulder was hurting and I was sweaty hot.

I went to the sofa in the living room to sleep

Awake at 2AM and 4AM  Hubby got up at 5AM with the dogs again. Outside for potty.

Then at 6AM, he made breakfast for the dogs. Put the milk & cheese out for the cats.

 

I took a HOT BATH because I again woke up with a headache. Body hurting all over. Shoulder is KILLNG ME WITH PAIN. I am not getting good sleep at all!

I made latte for him & Nanogreens for me.

Hubby cleaned cat litter and vacuumed. We made the bed. 

We went to Cinnamon Cafe to eat. It was AWFUL. Returned my incorrect order - they brought strawberry/banana crepe instead of strawberries & cream cheese. My crepes had cinnamon sprinkled all over them. Quite the horrible taste with strawberries??? No cream cheese inside crepes. Hubby's bacon was ice cold. Hashbrowns were ok. We ate, paid, and left. 

 

 

Drove to Smith's to get milk. I had to turn around because we almost forgot to go there. 

Got candies for our checkout & bagger. They were delighted.

Then we drove to the new subdivision we wanted to purchase land at, but there was a new house already going up there. 

I had to drive home quickly as I had diarrhea from our breakfast. Did NOT make it to the potty.

After I cleaned up, we rode motorcycles to the new subdivision to check out the new road, but they STILL don't have it built all the way around. Just to the new pickleball courts.

Came home and there was another box delivered by UPS from Amazon. It was the other "whore red" ceiling light we ordered. It was too dark. The other lights were too dark. We will return them all.

We ordered new ceiling lights. Hubby talked to a couple customers and a couple vendors.

I had to take a couple Tylenol and sit on a heating pad because I was hurting so badly.

I did bookwork.

At 1PM, the Stucco guys came to finish the wall & paint the electric near the wall.

 

 It was cloudy and cool all day. We turned off the A/C and left the front door open.

I crocheted.

Up at 4AM. Went to sofa. Hurt all over. Intense Headache. Shoulder hurts.

Hubby woke me up at 5AM to let the dogs out. I took a hot bath, sat on the sofa for a while as the sun came up. I got dressed. Then I went back to sleep on the sofa.

 

Hubby got up at 6AM to feed the dogs.

I finally woke up at 8:45AM. Hubby was on the sofa sleeping. 

 

I started to make the bed. Took the comforter to start washing it. Tater needs a bath as his feet are filthy from the shop. 

 

I made lattes & Nanogreens. 

 

Hubby hates his pumpkin spice latte, he says to throw out the pumpkin spice.

 

Hubby did orders. He talked to customers on the phone. 

 

I went to do books until NOON.

 

I fed the dogs. 

 

Went to the Shop. Make sure parts were delivered.

 

Stopped at America First CU Deposits. Talked to girl there that knew NOTHING about POS Services to accept credit cards. She gave us a brochure TO TAKE A PICTURE of the phone number to call. Useless. No customer service anymore.

Drove to UPS Drop off returns from the Shop.

Drove back home.

Leave for Vegas at 2:35PM to drop off shocks for repair. 

Walked dogs when we got to the Business Complex.

Hubby dropped off the Shocks at the Repair shop. He said a young kid in a wheelchair was the owner.

 

We did not stay very long. Drove across the road to get fuel at Speedee Mart. Hubby went inside to potty and get snacks.

We drove back home. 

I was exhausted when we got home. Gave the dogs some treats and let them outside again.

Up at 3AM and I went to sleep on the sofa.

We got done at 11:30AM. 

I drove home. Forgot to stop and wash the Jeep.

At home, I got ready to leave for St George. Called Hubby at 12:30PM and he took forever leaving the shop. He finally got home at 12:45 and we hurried to leave. 

Drove the back way instead of the Interstate. Finally got on interstate at Littlefield and we made great time to St George.

Hubby dropped me off first and took dogs to Doggy Day Care. He went to The Steel Yard to pick up metal balls, he went to the Gun Shop that would not work on his gun, then other Gun Shop that was closed. He stopped at the Feed & Farm store to get horse nails for spiders and Linament for my shoulder. Then he picked up Bahama Mamas at Tropical Smoothie Cafe at the far side of town.

He came to pick me up at 6PM after getting my hair highlighted (too much yellow, not enough grey) and Brazilian Blowout. 

 

LIP FILLER AND NEW HIGHLIGHTS IN HAIR

 

Hubby had already stopped to pick up the dogs.  We stopped to walk them at the Mormon church.

We drove to Harbor Freight, Burger King drive-thru for burgers (menu did not work) He also had to go inside to get french fries. 

 

We fed the dogs plain burgers with fries. Gave the lots of water.

 

Then we got on the Interstate and drove home.Tater was SO tired. He slept in the back seat. 

TIRED TATER

 

 

Tater crashed out in the back seat and slept until we got home. Wilson kept trying to fall asleep, sitting between us. He was leaning on Hubby's arm really hard.

We were both so exhausted we did not want to stop in Littlefield for lottery tickets!

Drove to Walmart where I got some muffins, some Arnica gel for my lips. 

Drove home, exhausted. Dogs slept the whole way home. Then they went potty at home, and slept some more. Tater got into bed at 7PM.

I was not feeling well. I did bookwork.

I took a nap from 1PM to 2PM. Did not sleep at all because my arm hurt so bad. Tater slept in the chair and Wilson slept at the bottom of my feet on the sofa. 

Hubby got home at 2:30PM. We left and he drove the Jeep to our Infusion appointment at 3PM. There were LOTS of people there (birds coming back?). We had to sit in the far seats by the bathroom. Stinky!

Hubby got done with infusion before I did. Then I got my shot in the back room with Jamie. 

Hubby paid and left. I met him in the parking lot.

We drove to Scenic on the Interstate to get lottery tickets. Some weird old lady driving slow, braking, and crossing over into on-coming traffic pulled in to the store in front of us. 

Left there and drove to the Eureka where we got Cinnabon, Pretzels with mustard that we ate there. I got a Mochalatta.

I got up at 6:15AM when the sunshine started shining in the living room. I went potty, got dressed. I went to wake Hubby up when I saw that he had not put away the dishes that I asked him to do last night before he came to bed. 

Hubby yelled at me to leave him alone, so I closed the blinds and let him sleep.

I made myself a latte and sat on the sofa to watch morning News. The dogs got up later and I fed them. Then I let them outside again.

I read company email and paid the American Express bill.

The HVAC guy, Larry came to collect 1/2 for the Heat Pump we are putting in the garage and blown-in insulation for the garage. He inspected what the Electrician had done, He said it was a good install. 

Neither one of us felt good. I think Hubby was still tired.

WEDNESDAY

SEPTEMBER 20 2023 

I was awake about 5AM and stayed in bed until 6AM. I petted Wilson. Hubby was snoring. Tater was chewing on his camper blanket.

Got up at 6AM to go potty and then came back to bed for 15 minutes.

We got up and Hubby went potty. I let the dogs outside, opened the front door, and then went to make the bed.

Hubby fed the dogs breakfast when they came in from outside. 

I took the dirty clothes to the washer and started it.

I made lattes & Nanogreens. I made Hubby's JackHammer (espresso, steamed milk, hershey's chocolate, honey, and cinnamon). It is officially FALL.

It was much cooler this morning - 67 degrees!

I cleaned cat litter and did vacuuming. I went outside to pick up doo poo.

Hubby sat and watched Automotive shows. 

Tater hurt his paw again when the cat bopped him. He squealed in pain. Hubby looked at it, but the wound is just his toenail bent backwards. Nothing to do. We gave Tater some antibiotics. 

Then at 8:30AM, Hubby left for the shop.

I went to get my yarn so I could crochet so I was in the master closet. Heard somebody yelling at the front door. Hubby had come back to get some Tramadol. He said his heart was racing. STUPID FUCKING KID AT WORK. Hubby will have to confront the situation of what to do today. We just need life to be on an even keel for more than 1 day. Too much stress in life. 

 

I crocheted. I put away clean clothes. I put away clean dishes.

 

I watched TV.

 

Hubby got home at 2:35PM. He changed his clothes. Then he had some bites of his burrito.

 

We packed the re-bar pumpkin he built and a spider. I took the orange pumpkin that I made. We drove to Enliven Infusion. There was nobody there today. Holly was off, so no injections.

 

We sat down and got our infusions. The nice hispanic lady dropped her plate going out the door and they had to clean it up. She got upset and had to come back inside to get another band aid as she had started to bleed on her injection site.

 

The Infusions went fast. We were done in 26 minutes. Cindy was there and she made an appointment with me for Lip Filler Injections for next Thursday at 10AM.

 

Hubby and I drove to Scenic, past the shop, the back way to get Lottery tickets. I was sick to my stomach going over the whoops in the road that way.

 

Then we were going to stop at Smith's for milk, but it was too crowded.

 

Drove to Walmart where we picked up groceries, 2 rotisserie chickens, lasagne, cheesy bread, muffins. Outside, it rained, then hailed while we were inside the store Heard the rain hitting the roof really loud.

I took pictures of the black storm clouds.

BLACK CLOUDS AFTER RAIN AT WALMART - SEE HAIL ON TRUCK BED

 

Then we came back home, unloaded groceries. We had hurricane force winds about 30+ mph. I brought in everything on the patio so it would not blow away.

 

SEVERE WINDS BEFORE STORM

DOUBLE RAINBOW AFTER STORM

 

It started raining, then hailing again as the storm moved past us. 

I went out to see the Rainbow, which turned into a double rainbow. While I was taking pictures, I dropped my camera outside the brick wall. I had to put my sweater over my head and walk around the back to get it. I think it scratched the face of it a little. 

Hubby had warmed up the lasagne and cheesy bread. We had dinner. Watched Only Murders In The Building. 

 

 

LASAGNE AND CHEESEY GARLIC BREAD

We watched Mission Impossible, then Frasier. Took some Benadryl and Tylenol.

Went to bed at 10:30PM.

Hubby said he was up at midnight with Tater and they sat outside. It was cold as they were out. It got down to 63 degrees last night.

 

 

TUESDAY / SEPT 19 / GARBAGE DAY / TATER BACK TO WORK

TUESDAY

SEPTEMBER 19 2023

 

 

 

 

I was awake at 6AM. Had to potty. Came back to bed. Everybody was still sleeping. I snuggled with Wilson and petted his soft, pink belly.

Then we got up at 6:45AM. I dressed and went to the kitchen to make lattes. I opened the front door. I let the dogs out. Hubby went to potty.

Hubby came to the kitchen to make breakfast for the dogs & cats. He fed them after the dogs came back inside. The cat milk had gone bad, so we dumped it out and put out fresh milk & cheese.

I cleaned out cat litter and vacuumed the armoire.

I put out more garbage for the dumpster. Today is garbage day. 

 

Hubby went to dress. I helped him make the bed.

 

We sat outside on the patio, the sun was hot. No breeze. Cool outside. Only 67F degrees.

LeAnn, her dog, and a friend of hers walked past and I went out to talk with them. LeeAnn's friend admired my "flower" and I had to tell her that it was a metal decor bird feeder!

We came back inside because it was too hot to sit outside.

 

I put dirty laundry in washer and started it.

Then Hubby watched Automotive show on TV while I vacuumed up cat litter in the hall. 

I then warmed up chicken sausages for breakfast. Shared a couple with the dogs.

I put Tater's collar on him.

Hubby & Tater left at 8:40AM.

I brought the garbage can inside the fence.

I went inside to do bookwork.

I cleaned up the kitchen counter, put away clean dishes, and started the dishwasher.

I picked up dog poo outside. 

I fed Wilson 2nd breakfast.

 

Hubby & Tater surprised us by coming in the door at 4PM. He drove home the UTV so we can go ride up on the Mesa tonight.

 

Hubby had a whole bunch of phone calls after he got home.

Then he started making Tater breakfast. Steak, Rice, Eggs. 

 

Tater was so happy to go down to the shop today. He was smiling after he got home. 

Hubby made himself some dinner. He watched some Automotive shows on TV.

I went down to get the mail, but there was nothing there.

I changed my shoes and we got ready to ride in the UTV.

Went to leave and the dogs were barking at us. So I beat on the wall and told them to shut up. We went back inside where Hubby put Tater's collar on him. Then we left again. I verified by Wyze camera that they were sitting on the dog chair and were quiet.

I had a few problems because Hubby had not washed/cleaned the UTV prior to using and the seat belt was not adjusted for my comfort. It takes a while to get it pulled and I had to get in/out of the vehicle several times. Finally, we were ready to go.

Left at 6:45PM. The sun was going down as we left. The road up to the Mesa was washed out in spots, several large sluices where water had come down off the Mesa. Hubby was able to straddle most of them. We had to be cautious going up the road as there were 2 cars parked at the bottom and we thought that people were up there walking. At the top, there were 2 young people with a dog. We waved and said hello. They just stared at us. WTF? 

The gate was open, so we went thru. 

We round around to the left and did a big loop on the Mesa. We saw that somebody had Xmas solar-powered lights. I took a picture.

Then the sun went down and we got a good look at the moon. But no stars were coming out yet. 

Drove back home and up to the Soccer field to check what was going on as the HUGE LIGHTS were turned on; we found that they were doing practice up there late at night.

 

XMAS LIGHTS ON JOSHUA TREE

MOON OVER THE MESA

 

We drove home. Gave treats to the dogs. Took some Benadryl/Tylenol at 9PM. Watched some TV and went to bed at 10PM.

Hubby said that he was up again at Midnight with the dogs and sat with them on the patio for one hour. Then he came back to bed. He also sat on the sofa for a while and covered up with the blanket.

We left the dogs at home and drove to Tractor Supply to pick up more diet dog food. Then we drove to Walmart and washed the truck. I brushed off the front windshield with the water brush.

 

We drove back home. 

 

At home, I put out the garbage can while Hubby parked the Dually in the driveway. I went down to get mail. Received Hubby's Amazon order of breathing mask & air regulator for his oxygen we will get in St George.

 

Also got new checks for the business.

 

I did bookwork.

 

We watched The Mechanic with Charles Bronson on Pluto TV.

Both of us took Benadryl, Hubby drank a beer. 

We both went to bed at 9:30PM after letting the dogs out one last time.

 

 

 

 

 

SUNDAY / DAWN'S MAPLE SYRUP / CAR SHOW / WALMART / SMITHS / LOTTERY TICKETS / CHANGE FILTERS / PAINT BOXES

SUNDAY

SEPT 17 2023

 

 

 

 

Up with Tater at 1AM. He jumped down and whined. Hubby was sleeping, so I let him out. Then I had to help him back on the bed because his left foot was injured.

Awake at 5:30AM when Hubby got out of bed with dogs and let them out for potty. Then he made breakfast for them.

I got out of bed for potty, then back to bed. Sage came to sleep on me, but she purred, miaowed, and rubbed against me so I could not get back to sleep.

I got up and dressed. Went to the kitchen to make lattes & Nanogreens.

Hubby cleaned cat litter and put more litter in the box. I vacuumed the armoire and behind it.

We made the bed.

Dawn, our neighbor, texted me. I took the mail over for her that had been left in our mailbox yesterday, and she gave me some Maple Syrup that she had gotten from a friend that went to Canada. I offered to pay her, but she would not take it. I took a white pumpkin over to her so that she could give it to her friend.

Then we left the dogs at home while we drove in the Dually to the Car Show at the Casablanca.

It was hot, I was not feeling good. Forgot to eat something. Got shaky. I did not take a hat. Most of the cars were already gone or leaving by the time we walked around at 8AM.

 

We drove to Walmart to pick up Weather Wash, Lemonade/Iced Tea, new bed Sheets. 

So we drove to Starbucks and got Impossible Breakfast Sandwiches. We then drove out to Beaver where Hubby went inside to get lottery tickets. Eric's truck was already there at the bar. Hope we don't lose him soon.

 

We drove back on the Interstate 15 to Smith's where we got groceries. Some idiot guy kept hitting Hubby with his cart while in line at the checkout. Then we walked out to see a Roush green truck. It was Hubby's customer. The customer came out of the store wearing our RMOR t-shirt!!!

 

Dana drove past us and waved while in the parking lot. We drove home the back way and went looking at the angle houses. 

 

At home, we unloaded groceries. I gave some turkey meat to the puppies. We let puppies out to potty.

MAKING RICE ON THE STOVE

 

FedEx delivered another box-a winch-from Rough Country to the house at 1PM.

At 2PM, Hubby went outside and sprayed a concoction of Vinegar, Hydrogen Peroxide, and Salt on the LARGE pumpkin.

 

We sat down to watch some TV and Gabriel from Vegas (he had flooding in his house from the most recent flood) came to town and wanted to meet at 3:15PM. Hubby went to the shop at 3PM and took care of it; collected money; gave them t-shirts & gaiters.

Hubby got home at 4:30PM after I called him. He had spent time talking with Casey at the shop.

At 5:30PN, Hubby got a call from Gabriel. He had broken his new belt they put on the UTV. So Hubby took his Dually to the shop; picked up his Can Am, went out to the underpass by the Polaris Dealer and helped repair their belt. But it was shredded, so he had to take them to a place out in Scenic and drop them off. Hubby went back to the shop and got his truck to come home at 7PM.

Gabriel called later while Hubby was in the shower. Then Hubby texted him when he got out of the shower. They had dropped the UTV off in front of the shop. 

We watched The Fugitive on TV. Then we watched an episode of Frasier. We went to bed at 10:30PM.
