WEDNESDAY / DEC 25 / XMAS ! / DOG WALK AT MESQUITE COMM CENTER

WEDNESDAY

DECEMBER 25 2024

XMAS

I WENT TO GET TATER'S DRIED BLANKET FROM THE DRYER AT 11:45PM.

THEN I COVERED HIM UP AND WENT BACK TO BED.

I COULD NOT SLEEP. RESTLESS. HOT. SWEATY.

UP AT 2:30AM. WENT TO SLEEP ON THE SOFA. IT WAS STILL TOO HOT. I COULD NOT SLEEP.

BRIEFLY SLEPT THEN WOKE AT 5AM WHEN THE DOGS NEEDED OUT. I PUT THEM OUT AND LET THEM BACK INSIDE. HUBBY WOKE UP WHEN TATER BARKED TO GET BACK INTO BED. 

I TOLD HUBBY THAT I HAD ALREADY PUT DOGS OUTSIDE.

I TRIED TO SLEEP ANOTHER FEW MINUTES, BUT GOT UP.

HUBBY HAD MADE THE BED. HE HAD FED THE DOGS THEIR EGG BREAKFAST.

I GOT UP AND DRESSED. FOLDED MY BLANKET. 

MADE HOT EGGNOG LATTE FOR HUBBY, PLAIN LATTE FOR MYSELF.

THEN HUBBY MADE CINNAMON ROLLS IN THE XMAS BAKING PAN.

WE HAD CINNAMON ROLLS. WATCHED CHRISTMAS VACATION ON AMAZON PRIME.

I RAN DOWN TO THE MAIL BOX TO PICK UP HUBBY'S SOCKS THAT I ORDERED FOR HIM.

OPENED OUR PRESENTS. HUBBY WENT OVERBOARD GETTING TOO MANY JUNK GIFTS. 

WE PUT AWAY THE WRAPPING AND BOXES. 

RILEY PLAYED WITH HER NEW SHARK FROM RAVEN'S FAMILY.

I ASKED SOMEBODY ON FIVERR TO DO A 2D/3D BLUEPRINT FOR OUR HOME. 

AT NOON, WE RODE OUR MOTORBIKES. HUBBY HAD REPAIRED THE FRONT TIRE ON MINE, BUT THE BACK TIRE BLEW OUT AS I WENT AROUND A CORNER. HUBBY RODE IT HOME FOR ME AS IT WAS WOBBLING REALLY BADLY.

AT HOME, WE PUT THE BIKES AWAY.

PUT DOGS IN FMF AND DROVE TO THE REC CENTER IN TOWN TO WALK DOGS ON THE FIELD. RILEY POOPED. I HAD DOGGY POO BAGS THIS TIME TO PICK IT UP.

THEN WE STOPPED AT RAVEN'S TO DROP OFF THE ZIM'S MINI NUTCRACKERS. THEIR FAMILY HAS A COLLECTION OF NUTCRACKERS.

WE DROVE HOME. NOBODY ON THE ROADS. 

AT HOME, HUBBY MADE CARMELIZED ONIONS, LOBSTER, SHRIMP RING, SHRIMP SCAMPI, AND I MADE A CHACUTERIE BOARD. I FED MOST OF IT TO TATER. HE CAUGHT EVERY PIECE AS I THREW IT ACROSS THE SOFA TO HIM.

HUBBY SAT DOWN TO WATCH YOUTUBE VIDEOS. 

RILEY SLEPT IN THE FRONT ROOM FOR HOURS. 

I PLAYED BALL WITH HER AT 5:30PM.

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, I WAS EXHAUSTED. I HIT A WALL.

I LAID DOWN ON THE SOFA AND NAPPED.

AT 8:30PM, I WOKE UP. HUBBY WAS SNORING AND WATCHING HIS AUTOMOTIVE SHOWS ON YOUTUBE. 

I HAD TO GO SLEEP IN BED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE I WOKE UP COMPLETELY. SO HUBBY RUSHED TO GET THE BED READY, FILLED MY WATER BOTTLE WITH ICE & WATER. 

I UNDRESSED AND FELL INTO BED. RILEY CAME TO BED WITH ME FOR A WHILE, THEN MUCH LATER HUBBY BROUGHT TATER TO BED AND LIFTED HIM UP.

I SLEPT UNTIL 2AM WHEN I WOKE UP AND HUBBY WAS SNORING ON THE SOFA. HE STILL HAD THE TV ON, SO I TOLD HIM TO TURN IT OFF. HE CAME TO BED.
