FRIDAY / JULY 17 / UP EARLY / SHOWER / DOG WALK /

FRIDAY

JULY 17 2026

Stuart, the white cat, woke me up early. Riley hates sleeping with him, so she got up and went to the bottom of the bed.  I petted PBJR all night long. I seemed to wake up every 15-20 minutes. 

DOGS & CAT IN BED THIS MORNING

I got up and took a lukewarm shower because I had been sweating. I washed & conditioned my hair. 

I dressed. Wore my new Wooden Ships sweater that I received via UPS yesterday. Put dirty clothes in washer. 

CHARLOTTE CREW COTTON AT WOODEN SHIPS

I put away clean dishes. 

I made hot tea for myself. I put out dog kibble. I fed the cats tuna & shredded cheese.

I opened the front door and opened the front shade in the spare bedroom. 

I did bookwork. 

At 4AM, I woke up the dogs and put them out for potty.

Hubby got up and made the bed half way. 

I made hot latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself. 

Hubby put harnesses on the dogs. 

I put on my boots, grabbed the drinks. Hubby loaded the dogs into the Dually.

We drove to Bunkerville. It was still very dark. We got going too early. At the soccer park, we pulled in and saw bunnies running everywhere. 

Unloaded dogs. I threw BALL for Riley. We walked around. The air was heavy with humidity. Difficult to breathe for all of us. 

We loaded the dogs and gave them water in the truck. Hubby quickly started the truck and turned on the A/C. We drove home.

5:30AM, at home, I picked up poo outside, let the dogs out. I went potty. I had to take a nap on the sofa. 1 hour later at 6:30AM, I woke up with cramps. Took a handful of baby aspirin, then had to take a hot bath. 

I went back to sleep on the sofa until 9AM. 

I woke up and Hubby had put the laundry in the dryer. 

I got up to make breakfast for myself. 2 eggs, cheese, cream cheese, and milk. Put it in Air fryer. Nice egg bake. 

Hubby made burrito for himself. First time eating hard food since getting his dental work done in Mexico.

HUMID CLOUDS IN SKY

I reminded Hubby to clean the cat litter. He yelled "It's not 9AM yet". I said, it is 9AM. 

RATTLER & ROBERT HANGING OUT AT THE TABLE

I picked up more dog poo outside. I threw BALL for Riley. It is still awfully humid.

Hubby left to meet a customer at the shop at 11:30AM. Then he stopped at Tractor Supply to pick up some glue to fix our hot tub filter.

Hubby was back by 1:30PM. 

I did bookwork. Paid sales taxes, updated blog.
