FRIDAY / SEPT 20 / BLOOD DRAW / DIET SHOT / LAS VEGAS

 FRIDAY
SEPTEMBER 20 2024

UP AT 6AM. HUBBY HELPED ME MAKE THE BED.

HE HAD ALREADY FED THE DOGS BREAKFAST. 

I CLEANED UP THE KITCHEN THEN MADE A VANILLA LATTE FOR HUBBY. TEA & NANOGREENS FOR MYSELF.

I FORGOT THAT WE COULD NOT EAT/DRINK ANYTHING BEFORE OUR BLOOD DRAW THIS MORNING.

SO HUBBY STARTED LAUNDRY. I GOT CHANGED. 

SET UP THE HOUSE FOR THE DOGS TO STAY WHILE WE WERE AWAY. 

WE LEFT AT 7:45AM TO DRIVE THE FMF TO MESA VIEW MEDICAL AND REGISTERED WITH BETTY (REALLY NICE LADY IN ADMITTING THAT TOOK OUR PAPERWORK-SHE TOLD US THE STORY OF HER HUSBAND PASSING AND MEETING HER 2ND HUSBAND ONLINE)

THEN WE WAITED FOR THE BLOOD DRAW IN THE OTHER ROOM. 

GOT OUR BLOOD DRAWN. IT WAS PAINLESS. 

IT WAS TOO EARLY TO GET MY DIET SHOT, SO WE WASTED TIME BY DROPPING OFF RETURN AMAZON PACKAGES AT THE UPS STORE. 

I WAS STARVING, SO WE STOPPED AT MCDONALDS AND PICKED UP BREAKFAST SANDWICHES. 

THEN WE DROVE BACK TO GET MY DIET SHOT AT ENLIVEN INFUSION. KELLY WAS THERE AND I EXPLAINED THAT RODNEY WAS SUPPOSED TO TEXT HOLLY ABOUT INFO ON MY SHOTS AS I WAS STARTING OVER AGAIN. SHE COULD NOT GET HOLD OF RODNEY, SO THEY STARTED ME ON THE LOWEST DOSAGE AGAIN.

WE LEFT THERE AND DROVE TO JOSE'S YARD TO PICK UP THE TRAILER. HUBBY HAD ME WATCH HIM BACK UP AS HE COULD NOT SEE IN THE SMALL FMF BACK UP CAMERA.

ATTACHED THE FLATBED TRAILER AND DROVE HOME.

AT HOME, WE LOADED THE DOGS AND MY PILLOW. RILEY SLEPT ON THE PILLOW. TATER SLEPT ON HIS DOG BED IN THE BACK. DROVE TO LAS VEGAS. TATER WAS WHINING AND WE HAD TO STOP AT THE TURN OUT JUST BEFORE NELLIS AFB. WE WALKED THEM IN THE HUGE ROCKS. TATER & RILEY DID NOT LIKE IT.

WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE INTO TOWN ON THE BACK ROADS AND TOOK NELLIS BLVD ALL THE WAY TO HENDERSON WHERE WE PICKED UP THE ENGINE AT B&R AUTO WRECKING. 

THEN WE STOPPED AT A CLARK COUNTY DOG FANCIER'S DOG PARK TO LET THE DOGS RUN AROUND. IT WAS HUGE AND NICE. LOTS OF FENCED AREA. EVEN A RUNNING TRACK OWNERS CAN RUN AROUND WITH DOGS. WE HAD A PRIVATE AREA ALL TO OURSELVES.

WE CONTINUED OUR DRIVE TO B&R AUTO WRECKING NORTH WHERE WE PICKED UP THE TRANSFER CASE. HUBBY TIED EVERYTHING DOWN.

DROVE TO NORTH VEGAS AND TRAFFIC WAS STOPPED. FINALLY GOT TO SIN FRONTERAS AND HUBBY PARKED. I WAITED IN THE CAR WHILE HE PICKED UP TACOS AND BURRITO AT SIN FRONTERAS RESTAURANT. HE ALSO GOT CHIPS AND GUACAMOLE.

WE DROVE TO A BEAUTIFUL PARK NEAR THERE (HAD TO DO A U-TURN WITH THE TRAILER BECAUSE WE DROVE THE WRONG WAY). 

ANOTHER NICE GRASSY PARK. WE SAT AT THE CONCRETE PICNIC TABLES AND ATE (MY STREET TACOS WERE TASTELESS AND DRY; WE NEED TO FIND A NEW PLACE TO EAT). 

DOGS GOT SOME OF OUR MEAL. GAVE THEM CHIPS AND MY CARNE ASADE/CHICKEN MEAT. 

RILEY CHASED AFTER BIRDS. 

THE WATER FOUNTAIN AT THE PARK WAS NOT WORKING. WTF? BIRDS WERE TRYING TO DRINK FROM IT. 

WE LEFT SOME OF OUR CHIPS FOR THE BIRDS. 

WE LOADED DOGS, BUT THEY HAD WALKED THRU MUD AND WERE DIRTY. 

DROVE THE I-215 TO I-15 AND THEN HOME. 

IT DID NOT TAKE A LONG TIME TO GET HOME.

ON THE WAY, IT RAINED. A LOT.

AT HOME, WE UNLOADED DOGS. HUBBY LEFT ME AT HOME AND HE TOOK THE TRAILER TO THE SHOP.

CASEY & BYRON WERE AT THE SHOP AND HELPED UNLOADED THE PARTS. 

HUBBY CAME HOME AND WE WATCHED TV.

I HAD TO TAKE A HOT BATH BECAUSE I WAS TIRED AND HURTING.

WE STARTED THE DRYER. WET CLOTHES HAD BEEN IN THE WASHER ALL DAY. I STARTED THE DISHWASHER AND THEN PUT AWAY CLEAN DISHES.

PUT THE NEW WHITE EGYPTIAN COTTON SHEETS ON THE BED. THEY WERE SOFT.

WE WENT TO BED AT 9PM, BUT I COULD NOT SLEEP. IT WAS TOO HOT. I GOT UP AT 10PM AND SAT ON THE SOFA. HUBBY & TATER WERE SNORING. 

I FINALLY TOOK A HOT BATH AT 1AM. THEN SLEPT ON THE SOFA.
