SATURDAY

DECEMBER 6 2025

I was up at 5AM. Somebody jumped on my kidneys and I had to potty.

I went to the sofa to sleep. Turned on the fireplace. It was freezing in the house.

Hubby got up and let dogs outside. He started to make them breakfast. 

I was up at 6:15AM.

Turned on Xmas lights.

At 8AM, we got the dogs dressed in harnesses and loaded them in FMF. 

We drove to Smith's the backway. We stopped off at the corner of Conestoga Parkway and Falcon Ridge Parkway and I dumped out cucumber grinds for the bunnies by the rocks. Riley almost jumped out with me, but Hubby grabbed her in time.

Then we went to Smith's; there was a truck beside us at the corner of Kitty Hawk and Oasis Blvd. Hubby had to hang back as there were two HUGE dogs in the back of the pickup bed.

Hubby ran into Starbucks to get egg bites for me. There were LOTS of kids that walked 2x2 to the Starbucks from across the street at the Holiday Resorts.

We went to Smith's. Left the dogs in the car. I put the egg bites in the glove compartment.

We shopped. Got egg bites, donuts for the 4x4 Club Meeting this morning.

Drove to the Info Center, but they were watering. Drove around looking, but kids were playing games on all the fields. We drove to the Mormon church and walked the dogs there. Riley pooped and I picked it up. Tater pooped, but I did not have any more bags to pick it up. 

Then we drove home and unloaded groceries. 

Hubby left at 9:45AM in the Jeep to attend the Virgin Valley 4x4 Club Meeting at the Pioneer Center. He also took the snowman sticks to give away. Along with the Krispy Kreme 2 dozen donuts we bought this morning at Smith's.

I stayed home, put laundry in to wash. Did 2 more loads of dishes and put them away.

Walked down to get mail at the box. Unwrapped mail boxes. 

I picked more dog poo outside.

I made hot tea and Nanogreens. 

Hubby got home at 11:20PM. He brought back about 6 donuts. Lots of people had taken the snowmen.

Hubby put away laundry. 

He washed the windshield inside the FMF which I had been asking him to do for over a week. He kept making the excuse that he was going to call the detailer & clean it. Still waiting for that.

I threw BALL outside for Riley at 1-2PM. Then Hubby grilled chicken thighs on the grille. 

At 3PM, we came inside when the sun started going down behind the mesa. Hubby vacuumed for me and I steam cleaned the floors.

We drove to St George. I put on Waze so we had no problems. 

Hubby parked at the USPS and I walked around to the entrance to Medusa's Piercings. Got there at 11:30AM as my appointment was at 11:45AM.

I had Genial, the owner change out my piercings in my right ear. Then she put a chain on my Industrial. Looks so good. She then added another piercing to my left ear. Took about 1 hour.

We gave dogs water and drove to The Crepery. Left the dogs in the car and had lunch.

Hubby got his huge cup latte and I had Earl Grey tea. 

HUBBY'S DELICIOUS LATTE WITH AMARETTO FLAVOR

We both had the Mac Daddy crepes. Yum. Chicken, bacon, arugula, sliced avocado, dill cream cheese sauce. 

CREPES FROM THE CREPERY, ST GEORGE, UT

We went to Carl's Jr and drove-thru. Got 4 burgers for the dogs. 

Then we drove to the grocery store where there were a TON of cop cars. Several cops out interviewin people. Sounded like a hit-and-run? Hubby went inside to purchase money orders.

We left there and drove home. It was already 2PM!

Stopped in Littlefield to get lottery tickets. 3 cars parked on the side of the road leading to the gas station and did not park at the station? Very odd.

Hubby got home at 4PM. He put the litter in our room. He picked up Robert, who scratched him on his finger. Bad Cat.

We had to pack warm clothes as it was quite cold tonight. Wore sweatshirts, hats, scarves, gloves.

The UTV club was the very last. Took until 5:45 before we got moving. The parade had started at 5:30PM. 

SUPER MOON 2025 LAST OF THE YEAR

It was so very cold. Did not throw out candy because I did not want to run over little kids. They all had bags, so somebody must have given bags out to them.

We got done and the UTVs were driving so VERY SLOWLY on the back road. Hubby finally passed them going 70mph. OMG.

MONDAY / DEC 1 / VERY DEPRESSED THIS YEAR

MONDAY

DECEMBER 1 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.

I did bookwork. Paid first of the month bills. 

At 8AM, I called Bulldog Pest Control to cancel as I just don't have the energy to get everything off the floor so the bug guy can spray. I AM SO TIRED.

Hubby left at 8:45AM and went to MACU to deposit $ for shop rent. 

I transferred money later for shop rent. I put away clean dishes. I put away clean clothes.

I put dogs out for potty. I made myself a turkey and Hawaiian bun sandwich. I AM SO EXHAUSTED. 

I REALLY need something REALLY great to happen to us this year. Our whole lives, we have been pushing a boulder uphill. For some people, it comes easily. Success, Money, Inheritances. But we have had nothing. And what we had a chance of having was stolen from us by a close relative. 

I am extremely depressed this year. Can't put out Xmas decor inside because new cat breaks/ruins anything he can find. So no ornaments on tree. Barely anything in the house that looks festive.

As usual, Hubby dislikes Xmas and that is an uphill battle. He always shops on the last day of the holiday season and buys something stupid even though I give him BROAD hints about what I would like. I have bought some Xmas presents for myself, but just not the same. 

I want so badly to move to Oregon to be near the kids and have a better house, farther neighbors, a huge yard for the dogs. It was a mistake to move here and that is all on me. I really blame myself and that is weighting me down. 

People have never gone out of their way to do anything nice for us. People take advantage. The guy that Hubby taught how to back his trailer never did anything for him in return. We constantly give out bonuses, or customer gifts. Yet we receive nothing in return. 

I am so TIRED of doing nice things for people and getting nothing in return. 

Maybe I have a rich relative out there, or somebody died that should have left me their money. Can a lawyer find me this year to give me an inheritance? Can we win the lottery? I know money doesn't make you happy (that is what rich people say) but it would give me some relief.

Xmas is supposed to be about the time of goodness, miracles, and sharing kindness. 

Please, just let this be our year. 

Hubby got home at 4:30PM. He made a dinner for himself-turkey and fixings. I made more hot tea. 

I had to take a nap from 5PM until 6:30PM. Stupid phone call woke me up.

We watched TV for a while. Went to bed at 10PM.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hubby watched TV. I did bookwork.

I took a painkiller. I took a hot bath. I went to bed at 11PM.

TUESDAY

NOVEMBER 25 2025

Restless sleep all night long. Burning pain in my right hand.

Hubby was up at 5AM. 

Hubby let the dogs outside. 

I turned on the fireplace. It was only 50 degrees outside. 

Hubby made egg breakfast for the dogs and fed them. He gave cheese & tuna to the cats. 

I made the bed and got dressed. I played with the cats on the bed. 

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

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

In my office to do bookwork. 

I worked on Snowmen today. 

I put away clean clothes. I put away clean laundry. 

Hubby did not come home in time for PBJR's appointment at the Vet. So he called and re-scheduled. Then they called me and re-scheduled AGAIN. Hubby finally got home and we took PBJR tot he Vet at 5PM. 

PBJR AT VET

The doctor examined her and found she has a slight heart murmur. Then they took her in the back for blood draw. 

We took PBJR back home.

I took Riley out in the back yard to play BALL for a while.

We watched TV and went to bed at 10PM.

I started the laundry. 

Hubby left at 8:30AM. Tater stayed home. 

I worked on assembling Snowmen on sticks. 

USPS came at 10AM. 

I had to walk down to the mail box to get my other packages. Etsy seller sent something wrong, some wood circles instead of the hearts that I had ordered, so I had to contact her. 

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

For an hour, I sat outside with the dogs and threw BALL for Riley.

I picked up dog poop.

Hubby got home at 3:15PM. I had put all the collars on the dogs. I got ready and put on a sweatshirt as it was slightly cold. 

We drove to the park and walked the dogs. Riley got poop on her butt hair. I had to wipe it off with a clorox wipe. Then Peanut Butter fell out of the car as Hubby opened the door to give them water. 

We drove to Raven's house and fed her cats. They were actually out. 

We drove to the Hardware store and got paint for the snowman project.

Drove to America First Credit Union and deposited a customer check at the drive-thru.

Drove out to Scenic General Store to buy lottery tickets. 

Drove home. I took some aspirin in the car. 

At home, I was exhausted. made more hot tea. 

We had story time on the sofa. I showed Hubby some Instagram news.

Hubby painted my white, blue, grey balls.

Hubby watched TV. I worked on my snowman project.

I dumped the shredder and Hubby took all the garbage out to the can. He took the can out to the street. 

The shredder had broken, so I ordered a new one on Amazon.

I cleaned the cat litter. I vacuumed out the armoire. I vacumed behind the armoire. I cleaned the tray outside at the side of the house with the hose.

We installed the new rug in the office. It is much thinner and flatter than the previous one, but I like it as the other one was getting quite worn.

Hubby sat down to watch YouTube TV.

I did bookwork. Hubby had ordered LOTS of tools on Amazon.

At 1PM, we loaded the dogs into the Dually and drove around the new subdivision looking for 2x4 wood. Then we drove to the Info Center. There were two empty cars in the parking lot, but nobody there.

While walking at park, the stupid girl with two dogs (1 uncontrollable Boxer) walked past on the sidewalk. We had to scurry away to avoid a confrontation. 

SUNSET FROM PARK (TRUCK AT RIGHT SIDE)

SUNSET ON MOUNTAINS

Saw a beautiful sunset on the mountains. Great light.

Drove to Smith's to pick up groceries. Hubby parked us right next to a HUGE German Shepherd in a little car. I had to roll up our windows and turn on the A/C. 

Then Hubby came out with ice and pies for Thanksgiving. 

We drove home. 

Unloaded dogs again. We are SERIOUSLY worried about PBJR. She is on a diet and still gaining weight. I am calling on Monday to get her seen by the Vet. 

I was totally exhausted again when we got home. I sat on the sofa for a while. Ate some more of my Crepe from Friday.

Then I put away clean dishes. 

I folded plastic bags from shopping. Put them in the cat bag drawer in the Armoire.

I worked on assembling more snowmen. 

I conditioned my hair at 8PM. Sat with the conditioner and a heat cap on my head for 30 minutes. Rinsed off the conditioner and washed the tub down. STILL not draining properly.

Sat outside with the dogs for a while. Played BALL with Riley.

Dried my hair with the diffuser.

Hubby made the bed. 

We watched TV for a while. Went to bed at 10:30PM.
