SUNDAY / NOV 30 / COLD & CLOUDY /PEDICURES / MASSAGES

SUNDAY

NOVEMBER 30 2025

At 2AM, PBJR was settled in next to me, all warm. Snuggled under my arm. She became restless and had to get up. Hubby put her and Riley out for potty. Then they came back to bed. 

I had to potty, then slept on the sofa. 

Had bad nightmares. Sweaty. Left side of my head hurt BAD. 

At 6AM, Hubby let the dogs outside. 

I got up from the sofa and made the bed. Got dressed. 

Hubby made DOG GROG breakfast for the dogs and fed them. He gave cheese & tuna to the cats. He put medication in the tuna for the cats. Everybody is sneezing, has runny eyes. Feline Flu.

I made hot eggnog latte for Hubby, hot tea, and Nanogreens for myself. 

Hubby cleaned cat litter. I picked up dog poo.

Hubby warmed up egg bites & turkey sausages for me.

We sat around until 8:30AM and then closed up the house. Put ALL the cats in our bedroom with potty, food, and water. 

We left the dogs at home. Took the FMF to GS Nails and got our nails done from 9AM to 10:20AM. Andy did Holiday colors on my toes. Hubby got his finger fixed again. It looks like it has completely healed.

XMAS TOES 2025

We drove home. 

At home, dogs were happy to greet us. I took them all out to the back yard. Played BALL with Riley. Then Amy, our neighbor came outside and Riley started barking. I put Riley inside so I could hear Amy talk. She said they are leaving tomorrow to return home for Doctor visits. Then come back by Xmas. I told her to have a safe trip.

Hubby warmed me up egg bites. 

I started to put ORNAMENTS on our Xmas tree. I started doing the snowman. Final decor.

Hubby put away towels from bathes last night.

I played BALL with Riley 

I worked on Snowmen, gluing snowflakes, tying tiny scarves, adding 3 bells to each snowman until 3PM. I got ready for Massages and put out a bag. 

We took the FMF to Massages. Parked and entered. They had our paperwork all ready. Got our robes and went to the locker rooms. Some young blonde girl did not know how to work the locker and asked me "How do these lockers work?" So I told her if the key did not work to go ask for another one.

I changed and got water. Met Hubby in the waiting area. 

We got our massages. I gave Raven & Malia each a snowman.

Then we got done and took showers. The staff had already turned on the showers. Hubby had a hot shower, mine was barely warm and then turned ice cold, so I got out and dressed.

We left there and went to get our groceries. I was silent because I raelly had no energy, so I could not talk. We went to the Walmart pick up and got our groceries. They did not have Hawaiian buns. So I asked Hubby to drive to Smith's to get buns.

We drove there. Hubby was cold, so he stopped at Starbucks to get a Caramel Brulee latte. $6.67; ALMOST $7 FOR A DRINK. OMG. I remember in 2008 when we did the Euro-trip that the lattes were $3 or less!

We drove home. Hubby unloaded groceries. 

I made a turkey plate to eat. He did the same. 

It was cold outside, but I played BALL with Riley again. 

We watched TV until bedtime.

Hubby ground up pills and put them in the tuna.

Put Fall decor away in our bedroom boxes and the garage boxes. 

Went thru the Xmas boxes in the garage. I left most of the decor in the boxes since Stuart will ruin everything.

I purchased some Xmas presents online. Pop-ups. Shopify. They all piss me off. 

At 1PM, we took the dogs to the park. Dogs loved walking around. Had to leave when some assholes were playing with their dogs off leash in the baseball field. The dogs all had water before we got into the car.

Pulled across the street because a guy was selling $20/bag oranges. Hubby bought one for us, one for Andy. Will give it to him tomorrow morning at Pedicures. THE ORANGES ARE SO DELICIOUS.

We drove to the Little Store in Scenic where Hubby cashed in his winning $21 to buy more Lottery Tickets.

Drove back into town and to the shop. UPS had called Hubby and left a tire behind the forklift. 

We drove to Deep Roots where Hubby went inside to get marijuana gummies. He said they don't sell the ones we were getting, so he had to get different ones.

We drove past the new homes on Bertha Howe Boulevard. 

At home, we unloaded dogs. The neighbor is STILL outside putting up his lights, so we could not stop to get mail.

Tried to go in the bedroom by ourselves, but dogs decided to try & attack the cats by barking. 

I made a snack of Hawaiian bun, butter, and turkey with an orange. Made more hot tea.

At 7:10PM, we packed up the Fall decor into boxes in the master bedroom closet. I was all hot and sweaty afterwards. PBJR had sat in the room with us. Making it more difficult to move. My knee hurt whenever I pivoted. Stuart kept running in the closet and having to be thrown out.

Hubby got all the food made. He baked the turkey, remembered to remove all the giblets inside the turkey. Remembered to put it on the correct side before baking.

HUBBY PUT TURKEY & BACON ROLL UPS IN OVEN

He made creamed sweet corn, yams with walnuts and marshmallows, he forgot potatoes so I helped make that. He made the green bean casserole with onions on them. Everything was well heated when we ate. He finally put the Hawaiian buns in the oven to warm. Yum. Best Thanksgiving Dinner Ever.

We closed the house up at 7:45AM. 

Hubby drove me to Desert Pain Specialists in the FMF. Had to check in, pay co-pay and wait for doctor. Went back to the office. I told them that I wanted the shot today. Nurse took my vitals. 130/77. The nurse said they could do that if we paid cash. So I said go ahead. It was only $388.00. 

We went back to reception. I paid the $ and then we waited to be called back. Hubby had to stay in reception while I went back to get the procedure. 

Took me back to the recliners. Took my vitals again. 132/80. I was then taken into the surgery room. They sent up the ultrasound and swabbed my hands. Same as last time. LOTS OF PAIN when he shoved the needle in my left hand because the Doctor said there was a tight tendon in the way. 

Finally done. Back to the recliner chairs. Took my vitals. A little elevated blood pressure. I waited for a few minutes, got my paperwork and went back to reception. I could not feel my hands. 

Hubby helped me to the car. We drove home. 

Hubby carried all my stuff into the house. Hubby put the dogs outside. He got some food - egg bites & chicken sausages for me made in the air-fryer.

SUNSET 4:30PM WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 26 2025

Hubby called to let me know he was doing invoices at the shop and then would be home later. 

He called again to verify that he had left his money bag at home, so he had no keys to lock the shop.

He drove home. I walked down to the mailbox. 

At home, we locked up the house and left the dogs home. 

We left in the FMF, drove to the shop and locked the doors. 

Then we stopped at the Credit Union drive thru to deposit a check. 

We then drove to Ace Hardware to make duplicate keys for the shop to put in the vehicle consoles. So this NEVER happens again.

We drove to Raven's house and fed the cats, re-filled the water bowl. Put packages in the house.

Drove to Panda Express to get dinner. 

Driving out the parking lot, some stupid fat, young woman with two kids was walking thru the parking lot WITHOUT HOLDING THE KIDS HANDS. Both kids must have been 2 or under. They ran right out in front of the car. HUBBY HONKED THE HORN. She then grabbed her kids and waited for us to pass, but hubby put the car in park. The stupid woman kept looking behind her like she had more kids...so we waited and she finally walked across in front of us. All the while cussing (at us?) What a fucking bitch. You can breed, but you can't parent. It was so dark out and she is letting her kids run thru the parking lot.

We left there and drove home. I was in so much pain, all I could think about was a hot bath at home.

Hubby let me out of the car and I carried the stuff inside. He backed the FMF into the driveway.

I found SAGE on the floor inside the hallway, dead. Life just keeps getting worse. NOTHING gets better. There is no cause to be happy. Nothing to celebrate. Just beating your head against the wall. For nothing. EVERYTHING ALWAYS GETS WORSE.

I ran out to the car and started motioning to Hubby. I was in shock. 

Hubby came inside and got her in a bag and took her to the garbage can. We will dispose of the body tomorrow. 

Let the dogs outside until we went to bed.

I watched TV for a while. The chicken on my Panda Express bowl looked obscene, so I just ate the fried rice. I needed to take a painkiller.

SNOW ON MOUNTAINS IN ST GEORGE, UT

We drove to Labcorp and some idiot old man was blocking the entrance as he came out. I went inside to potty. Then took the elevator upstairs to test. When I checked in, they wanted doctor paperwork, but I said we just wanted the testing. They said that is NOT allowed and directed me to Any Lab Tests Now across town. I wanted my money returned as I had pre-paid for the tests but the stupid reception girl said she had no payment recorded. Idiots. Nobody knows how to do their job anymore. 

We drove to Any Lab Tests Now because we had fasted up to know and both of us were HANGRY.

It was easy and convenient and the reception girl took our blood and we paid. There less than 15 minutes. 

Drove on the other side of town to The Crepery where we left the dogs in the car and had breakfast. Hubby had a wonderful latte in a huge cup. We both got the Mac Daddy. Chicken/Bacon/Fresh Avocado, House Cream Cheese Dill Saude with Arugula salad.

I got up and dressed. Hubby had already made the bed.

I made hot eggnog latte for Hubby, hot tea, hot latte, and Nanogreens for myself. 

I cleaned up the counter and packed the dishwasher. Turned it on to wash.

In my office to do bookwork, computer windows button not working, so had to shut down and re-boot. Sign into everything again. Pain in the ass. 

I started the laundry. 

Hubby left at 8:35AM. He left Tater at home. Too cold today. 

Let dogs outside as I was doing computer work. 

USPS lady came at 10AM. 

Hubby called me to put out the Go-Pro so he can take it tomorrow.

TUESDAY / NOV 18 / STUART NEUTER SURGERY / RAINY & COOLER / GARBAGE

NOVEMBER 18 2025

TUESDAY

I was up at 5:20AM and went to potty in the front bathroom. I slept on the sofa. Hubby was up with the dogs to let them out. 

Dogs came inside. PBJR slept on my feet. Hubby sat on the sofa and snored. 

At 6AM, Hubby got breakfast ready for the dogs. 

I went to get dressed & make the bed. When I came out, HUBBY WAS GIVING FOOD ON THE TABLE TO THE CATS! I yelled at him that Stuart was NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE FOOD BEFORE SURGERY. Hubby had forgotten. We had JUST talked about this thing minutes before. 

Hubby made breakfast eggs for the dogs & fed them. He made himself a burrito. I made a hot eggnog latte for Hubby; tea, hot latte, & Nanogreens for myself.

So Stuart had eaten a little food, not a lot. 

I took dirty clothes to washer and put them in it. Then I went to do bookwork and Hubby had put cheese & tuna out again because "RATTLER WAS HUNGRY" I was VERY ANGRY at Hubby this time because Stuart was up eating again. I was so upset with Hubby. His stupidity is getting so much worse. 

So I put the food away again. Told Hubby I would get even more upset if he did it again. 

I called the Vet at 8AM to let them know that Stuart had eaten, to see if we needed to re-schedule. But the nurse had said it was OK.

I did bookwork. I heated up eggs & sausage in the air-fryer for my breakfast. 

Hubby put Stuart in the cat carrier. I put our name on the carrier and wiped out the Rizner's name. 

Hubby left in the Dually with the cat carrier that I carried out in the back seat.

I went to do bookwork. Then I went outside to bring in the garbage can and put it behind the fence.

I did bookwork.

I called Hubby at 9:30AM to make sure he dropped off the cat.

I let the dogs outside. They came back inside. I turned on the TV and played Holiday music.

MONDAY

NOVEMBER 17 2025

Up at 6AM. Hubby was letting the dogs out for potty. Tater was barking. Hubby put on his shock collar.

I took a hot bath. Everything hurts. I napped until 6:45AM. 

Hubby made breakfast for the dogs. 

Hubby had already fed dogs, cleaned kitchen, loaded dishwasher. Hubby started dishwasher.

Sage was screaming at us from the bedroom door. She wanted me to come in and make the bed so she could play. 

I got up and dressed. Made the bed and folded the blankets. Played with the cats. 

I went to the kitchen to make hot eggnog latte for Hubby. It boiled over in the microwave and I HAD PUT IT IN FOR THE SAME TIME I ALWAYS DO. Cleaned up the mess, made a latte for myself, made my Nanogreens. 

I went outside to pick up dog poo. Hubby watched YouTube TV for a while. 

I put together some of the Snowmen that I am making for gifts. 

Hubby talked with the Rep from Bronc Busters who STILL HAS NOT GOTTEN THE ORDER GOING from last week!

I finally got the invoice from Bronc Busters and paid it online. 

Hubby put the clothes in the washer and started it. 

I put egg bites and sausage in the air fryer for my breakfast. 

Hubby left at 8:39AM. I had to clean out his eyes in the FMF because he had  forgotten to wash his face. 

USPS delivered packages. I opened them. Mostly lights. Not sure about them. 

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

I sat on the patio with the dogs & played BALL with Riley.

I did bookwork.

At 3:30PM, Hubby called to say that he was coming home. 

Hubby got home and dogs greeted him. Even Stuart came running.

Hubby made food for dinner. I did not want anything. Hubby made stick rice and wanted me to try some. 

The sun went down at 4PM. Depressing darkness until bedtime. 

We watched TV. Hubby fell asleep on the sofa. We had story time from Instagram videos on my phone.

Went to bed at 10PM.

SUNDAY / NOV 16/ SLEEP LATE / DOG BATHES / WALMART GROCERY PICK-UP

SUNDAY 

NOVEMBER 16 2025

Up at 6AM. Hubby was sitting on the sofa and looking at his iPad. 

I took a hot bath. Everything hurts. 

Hubby got up and made breakfast for the dogs. 

I laid down on the sofa to sleep more. I then got up later when Hubby was going to take a shower.

Hubby had already fed dogs, cleaned kitchen, loaded dishwasher. He had made the bed and folded blankets. 

Hubby took a shower and washed Tater first. I started to make Hubby a hot eggnog latte. 

Then I dried off Tater. Next to wash was Riley. She and PBJR came inside from the patio. 

I continued to make hot latte, hot tea, and Nanogreens for myself. Then I dried Riley. Last to have a shower was PBJR. I had to push her butt to get her into the shower. 

Riley & Tater went outside to have zoomies and play.

I picked up dog poo outside. Then I came inside and dried PBJR. I could not find her at first, she had escaped and was rolling around on our carpet in our bedroom. I had to dry her off as she lay on her back. Then I rolled her over and dried her belly. She was being silly.

Hubby took the spray painted balls off the string that he had painted the other day.

Morris came over at 9:30AM with the seat for the hot tub. He is going to work on the wood for the edge rim.

I ordered snowflakes for the snowman hats on Amazon. 

We packed everything away in our bedroom closet. 

Hubby watched shows on Youtube.

I cleaned out Hubby's ear hair on the patio at 12:45PM. I threw the BALL for Riley. Then he left for Walmart to pick up groceries at Walmart.

 

At 1PM, Hubby went to get groceries and washed the car.  He was back by 1:35PM. We put away groceries. They did not have chicken thighs, potatoes. 

Hubby made bacon in the oven with carrots & snap peas for the dogs.

I played outside with Riley; threw BALL for her. There was no sunshine outside, so PBJR was having a problem finding a good place to expose her belly. The dog beds were still under the patio because it was too wet to put them on the rocks. 

Hubby was watching YouTube videos and I got the house closed up to leave.

We left at 3:30PM and left the dogs at home. Cats were locked in our bedroom. Left Sage in the office. 

Drove to Casablanca SPA. Hubby forgot to take a gummy. 

Gave the front desk some candy canes. Used their robes because it was getting cooler. Got massages. Gave Raven & Malia their kitchen towels. Malia got the reindeer and Raven got the

Drove to the shop. Got rid of cardboard boxes in back of car.

Went to get the trailer from Jose's yard. The guys were there.

We drove to the USPS where I mailed ceritfied mails to IRS & DETR.

Loaded UTV at shop. 

Left town. Were going to stop to walk dogs at Info Center, but the Meth RV was there.

Drove to St George. 

Dropped UTV off at Moto Zoo. Construction on Costco is going fast. Already have all steel girders up. Starting on the gas station, too. No room. Very small Costco.

Walked dogs at Convention Center. 

WALKING DOGS AT ST GEORGE CONVENTION CENTER

Stopped at Deseret Industries to get rid of donations. 

Drove to Lowes and got wood, dog Xmas gifts, spray paint.

I walked over to Michaels for winter garland to put on snowmen. I HATE GOING THERE. Too many people.

By the time that I had returned, Hubby had loaded ALL THE WOOD by himself even when we had requested help from the cashier.

I was starving, so we took the dogs on the other side of town to Carl's Jr. Hubby walked in to get our lunch. 

Then we drove over to park near Tropical Smoothie Cafe and Hubby walked inside to get drinks for us there. 

We were done in town, so we were leaving town. Had to stop & get gasoline at Maverik. Hubby wanted to walk dogs, but there was a woman walking her little dog on the ONLY GRASSY area we could find. 

So we just left. Drove back to Mesquite. 

PBJR & RILEY IN THE CAR

Dropped off trailer & wood at the shop. Stupid Landlord was there, bending back the bent sign with his Jeep. What an idiot.

Drove home. Unloaded everything. I was exhausted. 

STORM CLOUDS OVER MOUNTAINS LATE AFTERNOON

Let dogs out for potty. PBJR had an incident where some paper covered in poop was stuck coming out of her butt. She kept running around and trying to sit down to get it out. I had to get a washcloth and pull it out of her, then clean her up. 

We watched TV. New movie on Amazon Prime called Playdate. It was OK. Alan Ritchson good comedic actor.

It started raining at 8PM and rained all night long. We brought the dog beds inside under the patio.

Went to bed at 11PM.
