Hubby had gotten out of bed with the dogs at 2AM. Riley had gotten up and wanted out. She pooped and pee outside. Then back to bed. 

I was half asleep when they came back to bed. Hubby told me they went out. 

I got up at 5:30AM and dressed.

Went to the kitchen to make latte for Hubby, tea/Nanogreens for myself.
 
Hubby cleaned cat litter. 

We watched videos on YouTube about the tornadoes from IA & NE last week.

I ran over to Betty's to give cats food, water, clean litter. They had destroyed their water & food, so had to vacuum. 

Then I came back home. Vacuumed up our cat litter. Picked up dog poo. 

Hubby left at 8:30AM for the shop. 

I put away clean laundry.

I did bookwork. I put fresh water in cat filter. 

Reliance Connects came to run cable at 10:30AM. Our neighbor texted Hubby to let him know they were there. I already had answered the door with the screen open to them. Hubby called to let me know they were there. OMG. WTF?

I ordered new earrings for piercings.

I did more bookwork until 11:47AM. 

I let the dogs outside and picked up more poo.
 
I ran over to Betty's to pick up a couple packages for her and put them in the garage.

The dogs and I took a nap from 2PM to 3PM. Then I put the dogs outside again. Riley peed on her lamb and I had to wash it off.

Hubby got home at 4:45PM. 

We took the dogs down to the grassy area to run around.

TUESDAY
MAY 28 2024
 


Up at 5:30AM. Riley had been on the bed and Hubby came to get her, he shut the bedroom door.

I dressed and went to the kitchen to make latte for Hubby, tea & Nanogreens for myself.

Hubby made breakfast for the dogs & fed them. He put out milk & cheese for cats.

I found more receipts in the FMF glovebox. I brought in Riley's red leash.

I went to do bookwork and found that Sage cat had LOCKED my keyboard. I had to figure out how to unlock it. 

I helped Hubby make the bed. I put dirty clothes in washer. I put dirty dishes in dishwasher. Had to turn on the kitchen fan because Hubby's breakfast fixings really stank up the house today.

We measured Riley. She is 16" tall. OMG. Quit Growing Riley!

I did some bookwork. Hubby cleaned cat litter. I vacuumed. 

Hubby loaded all his Amazon returns in the FMF. 

I went over to Betty's to clean up cat litter, feed, water cats. I had to vacuum up some spilled cat food.

Then I brought home some tiny tomatoes she had left on her counter and offered to us.

I cleaned out my ears and put on new studs for my earrings. 
 
Hubby had me print out Rodney's invoices to give him today when I stop at Enliven.
 
Hubby left at 8:45AM.
 
I stayed home today instead of going to get my Diet Shot. (later I found out that Enliven was closed today, anyway).
 
I watched TV. Put away clothes. Put away clean dishes. 

Put dogs out for potty. Played with dogs.

Hubby got home at 3PM. He was tired. He watched Automotive shows on TV until late.

MONDAY / MAY 27 / MEMORIAL DAY

MONDAY
MAY 27 2024
MEMORIAL DAY
 

Hubby could not sleep all night. At 4AM, he stepped on a squeaky toy and Riley immediately woke up. Hubby took the dogs out for potty and sat with them on the patio.

I got up at 6AM and dressed. In the kitchen I went to make latte for Hubby and tea/Nanogreens for myself. I warmed up leftover turkey bacon. 

Hubby made breakfast for the dogs & fed them. 

We packed up the dogs into the FMF, forgot to stop at Dana's to drop off the kennel. 

We drove to St George and stopped to get Iced Lattes at Beans & Brews.

We drove to Cedar City. Stopped at an off-ramp and pottied Tater because he was getting whiney.

At Cedar City, we got Arby's burgers for the dogs and then drove to the grassy park. Nothing to sit on, we put out the towel and sat on it. Need to remember to bring a big blanket in the car. 

We ate and then walked the dogs in the grass. Riley loved rolling around. 

Then we packed up the dogs into the FMF again and drove to the mountains. Hubby turned off on a road to go up to Kolob Reservoir, thinking we could walk around it. There was no cell phone service, so I could not check on our progress up the mountain. But it was MILES AND MILES away. We stopped at a trailhead viewpoint called "C" Overlook and Trailhead. But we saw no "C" on any of the mountains! 
 
SCENIC OVERLOOK INTO CEDAR CITY, UT


 
 
 
I finally had some cell phone service and found that we were miles away from anything. We decided to drive back to the main road as the Kolob Reservoir was still 1 hour away on the road.
 
At the main road, we drove towards Brian Head and decided to stop at the intersection of Hwy 14 and 148. We walked out into the grassy area, but it was muddy and then the dogs got into the creek. Riley jumped in with no fear and sank all the way under. She got out and shook it off. 
 
We got back to the car, but both of us were hurting. The elevation was over 9000 feet. We could really feel it. Hubby was hurting from no sleep. His right shoulder was hurting badly.
 
DOG WALK


 
 
I changed shoes, dried off Riley, gave the dogs water, and got into the car. I was exhausted. 
 
Hubby had to eat something as he was going hypoglycemic. Hands shaking. We sat there for a few minutes. 

Drove back to Cedar City behind a slow motorcycle and a even slower car (going 25-30mph). 

In Cedar City, we stopped at the Maverik to get fuel (LOTS OF STUPID PEOPLE THERE), and Hubby went inside to get candy bars for me as I was getting hypoglycemic. 

We drove back home. 

At home, we both had no energy. Hubby unloaded the car. I let the dogs outside for potty again. Dogs were tired, too. 

Hubby decided to take a shower right away and washed Tater. Also had to put white antibiotic cream on Tater's ears as they were bright red. 

Then Hubby and I washed Riley in the sink. She dried off outside in the warm air.

We watched TV for a while.

At 8PM, I took a hot bath and some Prednisone and 3 Tylenol. I gave Hubby some Prednisone because he was hurting so badly.

We went to bed at 9PM.

SUNDAY / MAY 26 / MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

SUNDAY
MAY 26 2024
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND
 
 
Up at 6AM. Hubby let the dogs out for potty. I got up and made the bed. Got dressed.
 
Went to the kitchen to make latte for Hubby, tea & Nanogreens for myself.
 
We took the dogs in the detailed FMF to Flying J where Hubby got fuel and then we went inside to get donuts. 
 
 
TATER HELPING DADDY GET FUEL IN THE FMF AT FLYING J
 

Drove to TSC to see if they had grilles, but they only had 2 and they were not very good. A guy drove a mini Jeep around the building and Hubby said he wants to buy one. 

We then drove to Walmart where we left the dogs inside the car to go look at Grilles (THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PATIO ENTRY OPEN). We got groceries and then left. Gave dogs water when we got to the car.

Took the groceries home. Unloaded groceries.

I did bookwork. Then I went over to Betty's to talk about her cats. I was over there for quite a while.

When I came back, Hubby had tried to install the new longer door latch, but it did not fit. Then he tried to install the longer door assist handle, but it stuck out too far. Have to return to Amazon.

He was trying to work on the Little Giant Ladder that he had purchased. He had removed the top step. He tried to get me to try it out and when I did, I fell off the ladder as it was not secured. He "thought" it was going to be stable because it was "leaning" against the camper. I fell and hit my left front hip, knee, and tried to grab for the handle with my left hand. I injured my right pinky finger. I cannot feel anything in it. Cannot bend it. So I limped into the house, made an ice pack out of a ziploc bag, made some hot tea, took 4 Tylenol. I sat on the sofa. Then I watched Silent Witness until I fell asleep.

I took a nap because my leg hurt so badly. I had taken 4 Tylenol for the pain and covered the area in an ice pack. 

Hubby finally came inside, sat down on the sofa, and took a nap.

Dogs napped.

At 4PM, I woke up. 

Went outside and made the bed in the camper, checked on the stuff we had purchased. Shook out the bedding as it was covered in dirt, rolled it out, and tucked it in the bed better. I took off the oversized pillowcases from the pillows, I unwrapped the coffee maker and stored it beneath the sink, I put the king size comforters on the bed. 

I went inside to order stuff for the camper.

At 7PM, we drove the dogs to the grassy area in the FMF. Hubby took the gun to shoot out tennis balls. The dogs really ran for the balls. Tater got tired really fast. Riley was running and wanted water. We loaded them up and drove around the new subdivision then came home.
 
RUNNING IN GRASS
 

Hubby watched Automotive shows on TV.
 
We sat outside on the back patio for the rest of the night. 
 
At 9PM, we came back inside as it started stinking outside.
 
Watched TV and I went to bed with the dogs at 10PM. Hubby could not sleep and stayed out in the living room watching TV.

Up at 5AM when the Google Alarm woke us, Hubby woke up and took the dogs out for potty. He woke me up and I got dressed. 

We took Riley and left Tater at home. I drove the Jeep and followed Hubby in the FMF to the shop. The Detailer is coming today to clean the FMF and then Hubby got the Dually with the camper on it and drove it in front of the shop to clean. 

We left there and I drove him over to Jose's lot. 

Hubby picked up the RMOR shop truck and trailer to deliver the vehicle LIFTS to Jeff W at 8:30AM. I drove home with Riley.

At home, I made the bed. I made Hubby's latte. I made tea/Nanogreens for myself.

I started making dog breakfast. Warmed up Riley's and put in grilled chicken. Put eggs, left-over grilled cheese, canned dog food, and grilled chicken into Tater's on the stovetop. 

Hubby got home and I handed him his latte. Then he finished the dog breakfast. 

I fed Riley. Hubby fed Tater. 

I put laundry in washer and started it. I put dishes in dishwasher and started it.

Oscar, the Landscaper came at 8AM and Hubby hurried out to pay him. They they talked for quite a while.

Hubby left the house (AND FORGOT HIS PHONE) at 8:20AM. Before he left, he told me that he had seen the Shaun the Sheep toilet roll holder that I got from Amazon that was in the bathroom on the counter. He screamed. I think he was happy.

I did bookwork from 8AM to 9AM.

WEDNESDAY / MAY 22 / PLASTIC TANK IN SIDE PATIO

WEDNESDAY
MAY 22 2024
 
 
 
 
Up at 5:15AM. Riley was restless. Hubby took the dogs out for potty.

I got up and went potty. I got dressed. I have a huge headache and am grumpy. Did not get enough sleep again. 

Hubby made breakfast for the dogs and fed them. He carried Riley around while Tater ate. 

We took the dogs and drove the FMF to Walmart. Washed the car. Took Riley inside to Walmart shopping for Baby Onesies so she does not chew on her stitches. We compared different outfits and picked out 2 for her at $8 each. One with penguins, one with koalas on it.

Picked up some blueberry muffins, milk, (forgot coffee) went to the self checkout. Attendant came over and loved on Riley because she recognized her as a mini aussie shepherd!


RILEY RIDING IN CART AT WALMART

We left and drove home. 

At home, unloaded groceries. Fitted Riley with the first penguin onesie, but the zipper opened the wrong way and it did not fit. Tried the Koalas on her and had to cut out the feet. It fit! Looks cute on her.
 
RILEY IN BABY ONESIE FROM WALMART
 

Hubby left at 8:45AM for the shop.
 
Dogs stayed home with me.
 
I watched TV. Fell asleep at 10AM to 11AM. 
 
At 11:30AM, Jose, Rueben Sr and the moving gang came and helped move the patio table & chairs & grille to their vehicle, then they came and placed the plastic tub in the patio.
 
INSTALLING PLASTIC TANK ON SIDE PATIO
 
 
The UPS guy (a replacement who said he was training) came and brought a couple Amazon packages - some hair clips for me and a steampunk clock.
 
I was not feeling well today. 

Dogs and I sat on the back patio. Hubby called at Noon to say he and Mike were driving to Las Vegas to pick up the vehicle lifts for Mark and Jeff. Hubby called at 2PM to say they were loaded and on their way back, but that his phone had died. 

Hubby got home at 5PM and parked out front. 

Hubby made dinner for himself. He sat on the sofa watched Automotive shows. I took a nap. 

I woke up at 7PM feeling awful. Everything "stove" up. Joints ached, muscles hurt. 
 
I took a hot bath. That did not help. I put my dirty clothes in the washer and started it. I stayed up a while longer with Hubby and watched re-runs of Burn Notice. 
 
We went to bed at 11PM. Riley was restless and would not settle. We had to put her in the kennel. She growled and barked a little, finally sleeping later.
 

Tuesday, May 21, 2024

TUESDAY / MAY 21 / RILEY SPAY / CLEANERS

 TUESDAY
MAY 21 2024
 
 
 
I was up early. Dogs were restless at 5AM. Hubby took them outside for potty. I went potty and went back to bed.
 
I was up at 6:30AM. I made the bed. Got dressed.
 
Went to the kitchen to make latte for Hubby, Nanogreens for myself. I am sick of tea. Will quit drinking it for a while.
 
Hubby changed cat litter. I vacuumed front entry way from the sand deposited there in last night's microburst wind.  

Hubby took the vacuum out on the back patio so I can vacuum there when I get back.

We took the dogs in the FMF to drop Riley off at the Vet for her Spay. I took her inside. 19 pounds!
 
RILEY IN FMF ON THE WAY FOR SPAY TO VET
 

I asked the office woman (the older one that argues with everybody constantly. has a rotten, mean attitude all the time) to ask the doctor to X-ray Riley's stomach to make sure she has nothing in her from eating rocks, weeds, plant material. She argued with me that she displayed no signs/symptoms. I told her to do it anyway. What a biatch to argue with me! Just fucking do what I told you to do. It is up to the Doctor to call me if she has questions.
 
Also told her to Microchip, toenails clipped, cut out baby teeth in addition to the SPAY. 
 
We drove to the Cimmaron building to check if there was a For Rent sign, but there was nothing there. Hubby wants to rent it. Then we drove to Wendy's for breakfast sandwiches and iced coffee for me. I wanted COLD CREAM in it, but obviously there is no way to put Cold Cream in it without flavoring. WTF?

Hubby drove back home and fed Tater, then they left at 8:40AM driving to the Shop for the day. It is not supposed to be very hot today, only 85 degrees.

The Vet's office called me at 9AM to make sure that I wanted microchipping. I told them YES! How many times do I have to say it???

I finished putting things away at home. Dog toys, things on cabinets. 

Cleaners came early at 11:15AM. They were done by 12:20PM. 

I put everything away again.

I sat watching TV. Then at 2PM, I had to call the Vets office because they had not called me.They said that Riley was ready to come home.

I drove the Jeep to the Vet's office and waited for 10 minutes while the staff (Bailey) was on the phone giving advice (even going in the backroom to talk with the vets). Some old Karen boomer bitch was trying to buy dog food, mumbling and STANKY yuck. She got really close to me and I had to step away. Finally got the receptionist to wait on me and she was doing paperwork (it had to be printed in the back as their printer was not working) and some old man stepped up when the other receptionist came from the back. Old STANKY Karen boomer bitch stepped up and said SHE was next in line but had the receptionist explain that the older man was there first. Old STANKY started talking louder and I was not able to hear the girl that was waiting on me. I was just about ready to SCREAM at OLD STANKY, but I have been raised to be polite. These people don't understand Politeness, Manners, Couth. WTF?

So I finally paid and they brought out Riley. I HAD TO MOVE MY BODY TO BLOCK OLD STANKY FROM TRYING TO PET HER DIRECTLY AFTER SURGERY! Fucking bitch. Why don't we put a bullet in their brains. They are just rotting zombies. I wish my daughter had been there because she would have told OLD STANKY where to go!

I loaded Riley into the Jeep on a pillow covered with a towel. She rode home almost falling asleep.
RILEY IN JEEP ON WAY HOME AFTER SURGERY 

 
At home, I unloaded Riley and carried her to the sofa and sat next to her for the rest of the afternoon.

Later, she went out to pee and did a tiny little poopy. She had some food right after she came home and then vomited later; which was mostly bile. I had to clean that up.

Then we sat on the sofa. I watched her really well to make sure she was not bothering her stitches.

Hubby & Tater came home at 4:30PM. Riley was really excited to see Tater. They went outside for potty.

Hubby made dinner for himself. He sat down to watch Automotive shows on TV.
 
I did bookwork.
 
We watched Burn Notice re-runs and went to bed at 10PM
 

Monday, May 20, 2024

MONDAY / MAY 20 / NAP FROM 1PM TO 3PM

MONDAY
MAY 20 2024
 
 
 
Riley and I went to bed at midnight after I took her out for potty.
 
I was wide awake all night. Could not sleep. First freezingly cold and turned on heating pad. Then feverishly hot and threw off blankets. My mind was just totally active all night.
 
Finally must have fallen asleep because at 5:30AM, the dogs were awake and Hubby was taking them out for potty.
 
I got up to have diarrhea. Then got dressed. Made the bed. 
 
I let Riley inside after opening the front door. Hubby came inside with Tater. 
 
I went to the kitchen to make a latte for Hubby, tea/Nanogreens for myself.

I warmed up Riley's breakfast.

Hubby made breakfast for the dogs & fed them. 

We researched Camper steps online and ordered some from Amazon after watching a video of a guy online making custom ones from a Little Giant Safety Step Ladder.

Hubby put dirty clothes in washer. I cleaned the kitchen and loaded the dishwasher, then started it.

Hubby sat down on the sofa to watch Adventures of Brisco County Jr. That was a good show. Too bad it did not last longer than 1 season.

We both left and Hubby drove to the shop in the FMF. He rolled his window down so we could wave at each other. At Walmart, I turned and went to wash the Jeep. He continued straight to the shop.

I washed the Jeep, then drove to Enliven for my diet shot. I stopped to talk with Rodney outside the office. Asked about his kids and if they had any plans for the summer. He said that Theresa & he were going Peru this summer. Kids had lots of sports planned.

I went inside the office and waited. Kelli was there and said they were closed Memorial Day. Kelli said she was flying back east to get her grandkids for the summer next week. I wished her a Happy Memoria Day and got my shot.

I drove back home. Let the dogs out for potty. 

I warmed up some Walmart quiche. It did not taste good.

I took a nap on the sofa from 11AM to 1PM. 

I woke up and took the dogs outside. Gave Riley some ice in a bowl. Gave her treats in her puzzle.

I did bookwork. I turned on the A/C lower.
 
I left for my nail appointment at 2:30PM. Got my nails done with Andy at GS NAILS. I had him cut almond shape along with PAINTING THEM to match my toenail colors. Andy was shocked as I never change my regular pink/white square nails!
 
 
 

 
TURQUOISE NAILS MATCH TOENAILS
 

Hubby got home at 3:30PM. I had called in an order for pizza, new Crazy Puffs with sauce, wings, and brownie bites.

The dough was DRY. Yuck. Not ever ordering from there again. Barely any sauce on pizza and very little cheese on the Hawaiian pizza. 

We watched TV. Played with the dogs. 

BIG MICROBURST of wind. I brought the seat cushions inside. 

Hubby fell asleep on the sofa. 

We watched re-runs of Burn Notice.

Went to bed at 10PM.

Sunday, May 19, 2024

SUNDAY / MAY 19 / CLEANING HOUSE / SHOWERS FOR HUBBY & TATER / DIZZY AGAIN / MASSAGES / CAT FOOD AT TSC

SUNDAY
MAY 19 2024
 
 
 
Hubby was up at 4:30AM with the dogs. Riley got up and was restless. He took them out on the patio for quite a while. I tried to go back to sleep, but had to go potty. 
 
The light in the bathroom that had a motion sensor that we got from Amazon yesterday works really well. Very dim, yet lets you see the room.
 
I went potty, and back to bed.
 
Hubby got back in bed with the dogs. Riley was restless and would not go back to sleep, so he put her in the kennel. 
 
I slept until 7AM. I got up and wen potty. Then got dressed. Put Riley out for potty from her kennel. Tater stayed in bed.
 
I went out in the kitchen and made latte for Hubby, tea and Nanogreens for myself.

Then I made breakfast for Riley, microwave heated canned puppy food with some fresh chicken that Hubby had grilled yesterday.

I fed Riley. Tater got up. I started Tater's breakfast. Fresh scrambled eggs with turkey bacon, fresh grilled chicken, leftover french fries and potatoe wedges. I fed him while I put Riley back in her kennel to give him privacy. He got all of it. The whole pan. I gave Riley the leftovers. 

Then I cleaned everything up. I went into the bedroom and took the comforter off the bed and took it to start washing. 

I went outside and cleaned up all the poop. I am dizzy again. 

I cleaned up the kitchen and put away clean dishes. I made a bagel for myself. 

Hubby was restless and finally up by 8:30AM. I warmed up his latte.

I vacuumed the house. Hubby cut his hair and beard. I had to vacuum that up. 
 
Hubby took a shower and cleaned Tater, too. I dried Tater off and let him outside.
 
KRL and Spencer told us about an APP from Cornell Lab of Ornithology called Merlin Bird App. I downloaded it on my phone. It detects bird calls and logs them regionally. So far, I have logged:
    Lesser Goldfinch 
    House Finch
    Say's Phoebe
    Northern Mockingbird
    House Finch
    Gabriel's Quail
 
It is very exciting to see the birds pictured that we listen to all the time.
 
Hubby put his dirty clothes and towels into the washer and started it again. 

He started to make an egg mcmuffin for himself.

Hubby sat down to watch Automotive shows on TV.

I posted on my Blog. All the pictures from our trip. 
 
Hubby put garlic bread in the oven to bake at 1PM.

We took the dogs for a golf cart ride to the grassy area. The Golf Cart would not start. Hubby will have to get it fixed again.

We took the dogs inside again. Riley was sad. She slept by the kitchen counter. 

I changed clothes and put on my bathing suit. We left at 2PM for our massage appointment. Drove the FMF to Casablanca Spa. Checked thru the Valet for the car. Went to the Spa. Checked in. Not the regular people at check in. We went to the hot pool. It was REALLY hot. Then we changed to the cold pool. We saw Kim walking by and I did not recognize her. I asked her what time it was and she recognized me. We got out and followed them to the room. Got our 80 minute massage. Took showers afterwards. Both of us were very shaky and my dizzy came back. Hubby had to steady me. We paid and left tips. 

Walked upstairs to Casablanca Casino and got hot dogs. 

Got our car at the Valet. 

Drove to Tractor Supply. Picked up snacks and cat food.

Drove home. Let the dogs out for potty. Washed our swim clothes. 

Hubby sat down to watch Automotive shows.

I applied for the Verizon Visa card. We got accepted. Initial $10,000 Credit Line. I changed the payment on Verizon to Auto Pay for better discounts.
 
Watched Burn Notice re-runs for a while. 
 
I could not sleep tonight. Hubby went to bed at 10PM. I stayed up with Riley until 1AM when we finally went to bed. I laid in bed all night and could not sleep.

Saturday, May 18, 2024

SATURDAY / MAY 18 / PEDICURES / GROCERIES

SATURDAY
MAY 18 2024 



I had a difficult night sleeping. Originally started in bed early and Hubby brought in the dogs. Riley slept on her back with Tater's tail on her belly.

Hubby came to bed. He fixed the fan that was making noise. 

I was up at 2AM, hot and sweaty. I went to the living room to sleep on the sofa. I tried to turn up the fan in the living room, but it was also making noise. I turned the A/C down to 73 degrees because I was hot.

I slept until 4:45AM and then got up to take a couple Prednisone. 
 
Riley woke up and I took her outside for potty. There was some woman walking on the sidewalk that looked like a skeleton. I only had my sleeping shirt on, so I went inside and got dressed. I sat with Riley outside on the back patio until Hubby came out at 5:30AM. 

I went inside to make a latte for Hubby, Tea/Nanogreens for myself.

We sat on the back patio. Then Tater came out at 6AM. He had been sleeping under the comforter in bed until then.
 
Hubby made breakfast for the dogs. We went back outside to sit on the patio. The sun was behind partly cloud skies. It felt nice outside.

We came inside at 8:30AM to make breakfast for ourselves as it was getting too hot outside.

I did bookwork until 9:40AM.

Hubby sat on the sofa and watched Automotive shows.

I still was not feeling good and took another Prednisone at 11AM. 

I gave Riley a bath in the kitchen sink at 11AM. 

Hubby got a  phone call and went out on the back patio to talk.

I dried Riley off and set her outside to dry.
 
I updated my Blog and posted pictures from 2PM to 3PM.
 
Hubby watched Automotive shows until 4:30, then I suggested we leave for our Pedicures. 
 
We left the dogs at home, drove the FMF to the UPS store, but they were closed. Drove to GS Nails and got our Pedicures done. I got HOT Turquoise Blue. 
 
BLUE TOES
 
 
We paid and left GS Nails.
 
At the light on Grapevine, we saw a family of Goose & a Swan crossing the intersection on Pioneer Boulevard. They were going from one pond to the next. Birds really take care of each other. 

SWAN LEADING A GOOSE FAMILY ACROSS THE ROAD

 
Went to Walmart Car wash and washed the FMF in the drive-thru. Went grocery shopping at Walmart. 
 
Talked to a nice young girl at Walmart check out, I thought she was about 18 and ready to graduate, so made small talk. She was actually only 16 and lived in Moapa. A long way to drive for a job at Walmart.  

We loaded groceries, drove home. The M&Ms peanut butter were too big ratio peanut butter to chocolate and were horrible. The pretzels I bought were actually CHEDDAR flavored. OMG and were NOT TINY SIZE!

We got home and unloaded groceries. Riley had to go out IMMEDIATELY. She had been holding her pee & poo the whole time. Maybe another day of getting potty training done?
 
Sage was MIAOWING loudly when we got home, I cleaned her potty, but she pooped a HUGE LOAD on our bed instead! Hubby cleaned it then took the comforter and put it in the wash.

Hubby made chicken on the grille. 

Then we watched TV. 

I finally got the bedding comforter dried at 11PM at night. Then we went to sit outside on the patio until midnight with the dogs. 

Went to bed but I was up at 1AM to potty.

I was still feeling awful. Did not want to eat anything.

After Hubby left for the shop at 8:30AM, I sat on the sofa, just exhausted.

I tried to take a nap. 

At Noon, the UPS lady rang the doorbell twice as she needed a signature for a delivery. I had to drag myself to the door. It was a damn delivery shipment for the SHOP!

I took a nap. Riley slept on the sofa next to me.

I was taking the dogs out for potty all day.

NO POTTY PROBLEMS FOR RILEY IN THE HOUSE TODAY.

At 3:15PM, Hubby came home after I called and asked him to come home early.

I had taken a Benadryl and Steroid pill last night, so I slept late. 

Hubby was up at 5AM with the puppies to put them out for potty. Then he sat quietly and watched Automotive shows until 6AM. Dogs were playing and I heard Riley barking.

Hubby helped me make the bed. Riley jumped over the gate from a standing position. WE REALLY NEED TO GET HER INTO AGILITY COURSES. 

Hubby made turkey bacon for me in the air fryer. 

He took a phone call from the guy that bought the new trailer we picked up last week. 

We forgot to put out the morning garbage and had to run it out just as the garbage truck drove past. 

I ordered a couple pairs of shoes from Zappos for my Mother's Day present.

Walked down to the mailbox for the mail. KRL sent me a Mother's Day Postcard with a painting of Lilacs!

I made latte for Hubby, tea/Nanogreens for myself.

Hubby watched Automotive shows on TV and watched the dogs while I did bookwork.

At 8:30AM, we both left; Hubby went to the shop. I went to Enliven for my B12 shot, Biotin shot, and Diet shot. Kelli was there at the front desk as Sasha had an unexpected death in the family and had to travel back to Boston.

I drove back home. I made more tea and ate turkey bacon for breakfast. I let the dogs outside.

I loaded dishes in dishwasher. I loaded more clothes in washer. I put away clean clothes from the dryer.

I cleaned up more cat litter. I vacuumed cat litter in the armoire.
