Got up at 6:30AM. I slept all night without Melatonin. When I got up, everything hurt.

Hubby warmed up turkey bacon in the air-fryer for me. 

I made the bed. Hubby got dressed. He thought he was going to go rescue the Polaris out in the desert at 8AM, but the customer texted him and said he was going to turn it into his Warranty?

Hubby put a pain patch on my shoulder and gloves on my hands with shea butter. My hands are red, sore, cut from working with Clay. Dried.

I got done with bookwork at 11AM. 

Hubby got home at 4PM. Then he made a sandwich. He was talking to Marcel who had left his keys in the shop. We had to return to the shop to open it up.

I plugged in Dave's wreath on the front door and all the lights popped the breaker again. I went outside to switch the breaker, but found Amy & Warren walking down the street to tell me that we had a huge water leak in the front yard. It seemed to be coming from the water main box and a little bubble from the driveway. 

So I called Hubby and he would not answer his phone. So I called Casey and he would not answer his phone. I called Hubby back and he finally answered. I asked him how to turn off the water. I turned everything off inside and outside. I tried to switch the breakers, but nothing came back on.

Hubby finally got home and the leak had already stopped. He looked at everything and switched the GFCI on the inside of the garage.

We figured that Dave's lighted wreath is shorting everything out so we took the wreath down. 

Hubby made himself dinner.

We submitted an invoice to Century Claims for payment for a customer claim. 

Watched TV for a while.

Hubby argued with me about the lights after they went off again. Finally, he went out to the garage and re-set the breaker.

THANKSGIVING DAY
 
 
 

 I was up at 3AM to potty then I saw & heard that the fireplace was on, so I turned it off. I turned Hubby's heating pad on the sofa off as it was still blinking on. 

Then I went back to bed. I was hot. Put my feet out. 

Slept until 6M when Wilson started whining. 

Hubby came in the bedroom to get Wilson.

I got up and dressed. Went to the kitchen to make eggnog latte for Hubby, tea/Nanogreens for myself. Hubby warmed up turkey bacon in the air-fryer. He fed the dogs. Tater had to wait extra long because Hubby had no food pre-made for Tater. Tater got fresh eggs & chicken.

Cats started eating the chicken that Hubby had opened in the cans. 

I made the bed. I put dirty laundry in the washer. I put away clean dishes. 

Hubby started getting all the dishes prepared for cooking. He opened the Yams, Corn, Green Bean Casserole. He said the turkey had to go into the oven at 9AM to eat by NOON because it takes 3 hours to cook. He told Google to set an alarm and name it TURKEY. Turk-Alarm.

I put my ceramics on trays into the bedroom on the floor as I had been storing them in the oven to keep them away from the cats. One of my snowmen had lost his head. Have to make more snowmen.

I updated my Blog.
 
We put up Xmas lights outside. Lots of the lights were only 1/2 string working. We had to throw away about 10 strings of lights. Not enough working for the "river". 

LIGHTS ON OUTSIDE OF HOUSE

AFTER TURKEY NAP
 
 
I was trying to take Hubby's shoes off when he kicked me in the nose and I got mad at him. I think it was an accident, but he SAW ME BENDING OVER!
 
Wilson and I went outside to pick up dog poo. It was dreary, depressing, dark, and cloudy day.
 
 
 
 
I went outside to put up more lights. Found the lighted wreath that Dave made for us. Hubby helped lift the boxes down to me so we could find the wreath hanger. We put up the wreath. I re-wired some of the lights. Will have to go down to Walmart at 6AM on Black Friday to buy more lights and 1 of our blow-ups died.

Hubby had a restless night because Wilson had eaten something bad, so he was up every couple hours to poop. I had taken too many Melatonin and could not wake up. I finally got up to wipe Wilson's butt with hot water and put him on the bed when he was crying. 

Sage slept between us on the pillow and Hubby was able to reach out to pet her. Made us both VERY HAPPY to experience this trust in us. 

I was up at 5:15AM.Hubby was already on the sofa. He was actually in the bathroom but he had been sitting on the sofa. It was 45 degrees F when I got up this morning. Brrr. I turned on the fireplace. Then we turned on the furnace! I was freezing.

Dogs finally got up at 6AM. We let them out for potty. 
 
I did some bookwork, reviewed emails with Hubby, transferred $ from Quickbooks to Bank.

Hubby cleaned the cat litter. I had already filed the container for the water humidifier. 

I started laundry in the washer. I cleaned up the kitchen and started the dishwasher.
 
I put away clean dishes when they were done 30 minutes later. 

When Hubby left at 8:30AM, Tater stayed home because it was too cold outside. Hubby said Tater had been shivering yesterday and I decided he needed to stay home today. 

I let the dogs out again after Hubby left for the shop. Then I put away clean clothes. I was going to work on ceramics, but the clay was a little too dry, so I had to leave it out to leach out the water. 

There was a box from Amazon on the front entryway bench. It was Hubby's mini crockpot so he can make his lilttle weiners in for tomorrow. 
 
At 11:30AM, I fed the dogs lunch.
 
I worked on books, paid rent at shop. 
 
While I was working on little ceramic trees, Hubby called and wanted me to order them pizzas. I was dirty from working with clay. Of course, he wants pan pizzas, which are NOT the $6.99 deal. I have explained this to him so many times before.
 
I ordered the pizzas online. Then I went back to finish my ceramics. I cleaned up and put everything away. Tater wanted to come inside the house while I was doing ceramics, too.

I watched TV. I am tired.

I was really tired. So I tried to take a nap on the sofa, but Wilson kept going in and out.

Hubby & Tater got home at 4:30PM. 

Hubby forgot to drop off stuff at UPS Store, so we left the dogs at home and quickly drove in the Dually to the UPS store and dropped off a box. There was a UPS truck there with a trailer that was unloading boxes. Hubby parked right next to it. 

Then we drove to Walmart to get Yams and other things we had forgotten. I got more turkey from the deli.

We stopped to wash the Dually at the Car wash.

We checked out with Steve. He was a funny guy. Hubby had purchased an egg roll for the drive home because he was getting hypoglycemic. He put it in his pocket after paying for it at the checkout and joked it would stay warm there. I said "not with your cold heart?" Steve joked with us.

We drove home, unloaded groceries. Hubby put the pizza he had bought into the oven after putting many additional items on it.such as pineapple, and baked it. He said it was OK, not great.

I got into see Renee at 11:40. The previous patient had gone over 10 minutes. Hubby called me the EXACT moment that I was walking in to the appointment and I had to tell him that unless it was an emergency, I had an appointment! She told me that the cloudiness is keeping me from seeing and I need to get it scraped by the YAG procedure. I told her that I had to wait for 2 hours and was never seen last time. So we left because Hubby had to get to work.
 
She called over and got me an appointment at 7:45AM so we are the first to get in on Monday. Hopefully, I will be able to see better.
 
I drove home, just exhausted. I had barely been able to walk out to my car from the office visit. I felt just so very tired.
 
At home, I made more hot tea. Let the dogs out. Gave them treats. 
 
I tried to take a nap, but that did not work. Hubby texted me about things I had to do for the shop, but I had no energy. It was not until 3:30PM that the exhaustion left me and I was able to email some pictures to a Vendor, do some other things. I felt so inefficient. 
 
The UPS lady delivered the t-shirts from 5Boys screenprinting. There were 100 in XL size.

Up at Midnight with cramps. Took a hot bath & aspirin. Slept on sofa.

I was cold/ then hot / then my shoulder hurt HORRIBLY!  I could not get sleep all night.

Hubby let the dogs out at 4AM, then took his iPad to bed. Hubby was up with dogs then he sat on the sofa.

I tried to go back to bed, but could not sleep.

I went to the kitchen to make eggnog latte for Hubby, tea/Nanogreens for myself.
 
SATURDAY MORNING CLOUDS 5:50AM
 

Hubby prepared turkey bacon in the air fryer for me. He fed the dogs.

At 7:45AM, he left to meet the guy for breakfast at Golden Corral that is picking up the black Jeep. Then they went to the bank, deposited $, went to U-Haul and rented a trailer, then to the shop so the guy could load the Jeep. Hubby was back at home by 10:30AM. 
 
While Hubby was gone, I did laundry and put away clean clothes, I cleaned the kitchen.and started dishwasher, then I put away clean dishes. I worked on my Shadowboxes.
 
When Hubby got back, he brought home diet Dog Food from Tractor Supply. He fed Wilson & Tater. 

We took Tater for a walk/run around the new neighborhood. Tater ran with Hubby on the golf cart. I rode the motorbike.
 
Saw Killdeer birds over by the new subdivision. There were hundreds of them.

There were sirens which sounded like Fire Engines going around Sun City. Tater had to take a pause to howl at them. We helped him howl.

When we got home, I got mail and handed it to Hubby. Hubby stopped to talk with neighbor, Dave. I went hone, went potty, made more tea. 
 
Hubby's phone rang, so I had to go get him. It was Jay from the club saying one of the guys had worn his brakes out. 
 
Then Hubby called Marcel about renting a trailer with Pat at U-Haul.
 
We wrote out checks for Mark. Left the dogs at home and drove to Walmart to get the truck washed. Falcon Ridge Car Wash had charged us $74 last month, so I cancelled the car wash.
 
Talked to Oscar at the car wash, he was there washing his truck.
 
We took the checks to Walmart America First, there were too many people there to shop and I did not feel good. Too tired.  
 
Then we drove to UPS and dropped off a return package for Amazon. Then we stopped at Lee's Liquors because Hubby wanted some Cider Beers.
 
We drove to the parking lot Food Truck - Red Fort. It was Indian food. I convinced Hubby to try some Chicken Marsala with fried vegetables and Naan bread.
 
We drove home. Hubby unloaded beer. I did bookwork. Hubby ate his Indian Food.
 
We sat to watch TV. Take Naps.
