TUESDAY / DEC 23 / 2 DAYS TO XMAS / HUBBY RUNS HOME TO GET MORE SNOWMEN /NEIGHBOR WITH CHOCOLATE BOX

TUESDAY

DECEMBER 23 2025

In the middle of the night one of the dogs, which I ASSUMED WAS TATER, was laying ON TOP of me, right by my crotch and left leg. It was painful. I started pushing and yelling at TATER because he always does that and ends up pushing me out of the bed. HOWEVER, it was PBJR. And I woke her up, she was startled, poor baby. Mommy was screaming and pushing on her. 

I immediately felt AWFUL and kissed, hugged, and comforted her. Telling her I was so sorry. 

PBJR was freezing. So I wrapped her up in my side of the comforter like a burrito. Reaching out to the middle of the bed, there were no dog blankets that I could find in the dark. 

I was up at 5:30AM. No comforter on me. PBJR was sleeping by me all night, I woke up, petting her head. 

Riley was at the end of the bed and Tater was on the other side. Hubby was already gone from the bed.

I was freezing, so I got up. I dressed. I made the bed. I turned on all the Xmas lights. 

Hubby had put the dogs out for potty.

Hubby was already up and making dog food for the dogs. He fed them. He made a burrito with the leftovers. 

I made hot eggnog latte for Hubby, latte for me, hot Earl Greyer tea for me, and Nanogreens for me. 

Hubby put out tuna and cheese for the cats. He heated up egg bites for me.

Hubby put dirty clothes in the washer. 

Hubby cleaned the cat litter. Hubby filled the humidifier with water. I picked up dog poo outside. 

I ran the bag with poop out to the garbage can. 

I prepared the bonus ($30) and a shadowbox, a snowman stick, and a bead ornament for the garbage man. I waited for him to come. 

Hubby left at 8:30AM in the FMF. He left Tater at home. Said it was "too cold" but it is 52F degrees out now! A regular December heatwave.

The garbage man finally came at 8:45AM. I gave him the gifts and he said "Feliz Navidad" back to me. Such a kind person. 

I put laundry in the dryer. 

I ordered the next smaller size Levi jeans from Amazon.

I played BALL with Riley outside for quite a while. Almost an hour. 

Then the USPS lady came and I gave her the card, a tipe ($50) and a snowman stick.

Hubby called and said he was coming home because he gave away ALL THE SNOWMEN STICKS. He got here about NOON. Then got the sticks I had bagged up and left again. 

I cleaned up the cat litter, vacuumed the floor, vacuumed the armoire, cleaned off the walls of the armoire where the cats had thrown shit, cleaned the floor where there were shit paw prints. 

I put away clean clothes. 

I cleaned up bile vomit at the front door. Riley? She is sleeping in the front bedroom on the bed. 

I put together some shadowboxes with the wood that I had ordered from Etsy which the USPS lady had delivered. 

I made more hot tea. 

Left the doors open today because it was so nice. About 52-61F degrees.

I played BALL with Riley lots of times today. It was very nice.

Hubby got home at 3:15PM. They closed up early. Very few customers and the guys wanted to get gone. Hubby gave Jason & Jesus their bonuses each ($100).

Our neighbor, Amy came over at 5PM and brought over a very small box of chocolates from Danielle's Chocolates. I gave her a Xmas card and a snowman stick.

We watched Christmas Vacation and Hubby fell asleep on the sofa. 

We went to bed at 10PM.

We watched a really stupid show on TV. It was an AWFUL Xmas show. All Is Bright.

I ordered some Sperry shoes from Sperry and a pair from Zappos. I need new ones. My others are old and worn. Probably 10-15 years old!

Then I got up, dressed. Made the bed. 

Hubby took all the dog blankets to wash. I went to the kitchen to make a hot eggnog latte for Hubby, hot tea, hot latte, and Nanogreens for myself.

I did bookwork.

Hubby painted the walls inside the house for me as a Xmas present.

Tater would not relinquish PBJR's spot, so she squeezed in by Hubby on the console of the sofa. 

DOGS ON SOFA WITH HUBBY

I worked on Snowmen.

We made our Walmart grocery list. I forgot honey. Oops. 

At 2:00PM, I got ready and put on makeup, a different shirt, then closed up the house. Made sure the doors were locked. 

We left at 2:30PM with the dogs in the FMF and drove to GS Nails. Horizon Boulevard was closed for construction, we we had to detour all the way over on Canyon Crest to Oasis Boulevard and then backtrack to Turtleback. The Long Way Around.

I got my nails done with Andy. Some MAGA woman was there and got upset when I wished Andy a Happy Holiday in Vietnamese (she said it was like a "madhouse" in here -meaning the Salon) OMG. Andy corrected me and said that the Google translator was wrong and I had wished him a good day off. I apologized and he taught me how to say it correctly.

I picked out a dark blue color and waited. Finally, at 3:05PM, he started on me. He called his wife, but she had just started to wake up and wanted to take a shower. So he said goodbye to her.

Hubby had gone to the shop to put his FedEx and UPS deliveries inside the shop. I had to call him and ask him to return with a Nitro pill because I was feeling some chest pain.

He returned and gave it to me. Andy was very concerned, I told him not to be worried until I started screaming. Then he said he would start screaming! It was funny.

Hubby then left and took his returns to Amazon over to UPS Store and dropped them off. He returned for me. 

I got my nails done in dark blue with snowflakes, sparkles, dots. They were really great looking.

HOLIDAY NAILS

Hubby drove to the shop and met Ado there-the upholstery guy. He was doing heated seat installs for a customer and dropped them off. We gave Ado some snowman sticks for his wife & daughter.

Dogs tore around in the shop. Everybody was so happy and wagging tails. I could not get good pictures!

DOGS IN SHOP

We drove the dogs over to Old Mill Park and walked them. They ran into the leaves. PBJR has lots of fun in the leaves. She was smiling. Riley pooped and I picked it up. An old man in a motorized wheelchair went by on the sidewalk and Hubby said Hi. NO RESPONSE. Then a woman walked across on the grass. Hubby said Hi. NO RESPONSE. Nobody is nice anymore.

DOGS IN LEAVES AT OLD MILL PARK

Then we locked up the shop and went to Walmart to pick up our grocery order. Parked in spot #1. Then to Wendy's for dinner.

Got home and the food was already cold. Hubby unloaded groceries and put them away.

I got the packages on the front doorway. Our Junior's Red Velvet Cheesecake from Gold Belly had come. I put it in the fridge right away.

JUNIOR'S RED VELVET CHEESECAKE FROM GOLDBELLY

Our neighbor, Dawn, texted and said there were packages there. She has not communicated with me for over 9 months and then notices that... odd. 

I put away Xmas stuff from packages. 

One month ago, I had ordered new Levi Jeans because all my others were worn, torn, and stretched. So I got my regular size. Last week, I ordered Levi Jeans in a size smaller. I received them. Now, one month later. TODAY. I am ONE SIZE SMALLER. 

So, hopefully, I will order Jeans in a size smaller next month!

We sat on the sofa and watched TV. I fell asleep at 7PM. Hubby also fell asleep. We woke at 9PM, went out to throw BALL for Riley before bed. 

Then we locked up the house and went to bed.

Dogs ran around inside the shop. They were having lots of fun, sniffing everything. PBJR seemed to be having the most fun, wagging her tail and waddling around.

We loaded the dogs & shocks in the car then left. We pulled into the Casablanca parking lot just before getting on the Interstate 15 so Hubby could put water in the back for the dogs.

Tater ran around in the back yard, peed, pooped, and looked out the fence.

I did bookwork.

When we were going to bed, Hubby had to yell at me for filling the humidifier (I ALWAYS DO THAT) then he just stood there, staring at the TV. So I finished doing it.

All Hubby had done tonight was sit on the sofa and snore. From the moment he got home until we went to bed. He just did not talk to me. 

So we had an argument before bed. Then when he was in bed, he STARTED SNORING AGAIN. I told him that he was snoring and he said he was not. So I left the bed immediately and slept on the sofa.

I was trying to hurry him along. I showed Oscar the plants in front & back that need to be transplanted. He said "in the Spring".

We drove into town and tried to find a place to walk the dogs, but the city was watering everywhere. All the parks. Most parks were full of people playing baseball or soccer. 

Even the Mormon church had too many people there to walk dogs. 

We finally decided to visit the Library and walked the dogs in the front of the library.

Drove to Mesquite Plaza and shopped the crafts festival there. Left the dogs in the FMF. Parked in the far corner. Bought some bread, cookies, from Kaci's Bakery. Hubby bought some fudge.

Drove to the SHOP and met a guy there that bought some stuff. 

We drove to the Mesquite Arts Center but they were closed and did not open until 10AM. 

So we drove BACK to the Info Center and walked the dogs there. The Meth RV was there, but nobody was out. I walked PBJR around the whole area on the sidewalk. She was dragging a little, but when we got past the building, she sparked up seeing Riley & Tater so started to walk faster!

Then we went to shop at the Mesquite Arts Center Craft Show. I bought a ceramic dish for Malia for Xmas. Raven will get the other pair of earrings that I bought at the Mesquite Plaza Craft show.

We went to the Dollar Store. Saw our old house cleaning lady there. She was talking to the checkout girl "We don't DO Santa". OMG. What a fucking religious nut job. 

Finally found the Xmas wrapping at the front of the store after walking all over the store. TOO MANY OLD PEOPLE! STANDING IN THE AISLES, BLOCKING THE AISLES, MOUTHS OPEN. OMG.

Hubby had a desire for SLOPPY JOES and we had to drive over to Walmart (which was also massively busy) Stupid bell-ringers, begging for money that they won't use for the poor were out. I stayed in the car with the dogs. Hubby went inside to get a whole rotisserie chicken, hamburger, and sloppy joe sauce.

Finally he came out, we drove to the Mesquite Animal Shelter to drop off the donations but there was massive construction and there was no where to park, no where to enter the building.

We were disgusted and left. 

Drove home. At home, Stan was getting his mail and we could not stop. As we were driving up to our house, there was a white car blocking the driveway. It was Paul and Chris. Paul was dropping off Chris' Xmas candy plate. I got out and ran to get a Snowman for her. 

NEIGHBOR, CHRIS' XMAS CANDY PLATE

CARAMELS, PEANUT BRITTLE, CHOCOLATE COVERED PEANUTS & TOFFEE

They were still in the middle of the street, talking to Hubby. I gave her the snowman, chit-chatted and then went to the house.

I had to clear off the counter top as Hubby had left the slow-cooker on it and the air-fryer out. 

I took packages from the front entryway bench to our bedroom. 

Started another load of washing. Put clean clothes on our bed in the bedroom.

STUART THRU THE SCREEN DOOR

Hubby cut up the Rosemary/Cranberry sourdough bread. But the Rosemary was OVERWHELMING. Smelled like old lady smell. Yuck.

SOURDOUGH BREAD

Hubby made Sloppy Joe's. Stank up the house. He also was grilling chicken thighs for the dogs. 

I blogged.

TATER ON DOG BED OUTSIDE BACK PATIO

GLOBAL WARMING

At 12:30PM, Hubby walked down to the community postal box for the mail.

Then Hubby helped me make the bed with the clean sheets. 

I wrapped more boxes for the cabinets decor. 

I put more clean laundry in the dryer.

Using a ladder, Hubby put the wrapped presents on top of the cabinets. 

TATER OUTSIDE IN SUNSHINE

I played BALL with Riley outside. Tater & PBJR slept on the dog beds. It was wonderful warm weather.

Hubby made his Sloppy Joe's. I chose not to partake. 

SLOPPY JOES

We watched TV and I went to bed at 10PM after Hubby fell asleep on the sofa and started snoring. 

The dogs got into bed with me.

Finally, at 11PM, I yelled at Hubby to come to bed and bring Tater's blanket with him. Tater was shivering and trying to dig his way into my body for warmth!

FRIDAY / DEC 12 / DOG WALK / TRAILER / FETCH CUSTOMER & UTV / BANK / SNOWMEN GIFTS / WALMART GROCERIES / UPS & FEDEX PKGS / SMITHS / DEL TACO

FRIDAY

DECEMBER 12 2025

Then I was up at 4AM because Hubby was snoring.

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

Forgot to turn off back yard lights, so it was quite bright outside from the blue glow.

At 6AM, Hubby got up and let dogs outside. He started to make them breakfast. 

Riley jumped on the sofa with me, PBJR jumped on my feet and started sucking on the blanket. Hubby came and replaced it with her blanket.

I was up at 6:05AM. 

I got dressed. Folded blankets. I made the bed. Had to put on a sweatshirt because it was cold. Put on the new denim color sweatshirt I received in the mail ordered from Etsy.

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

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

Loaded UPS, FedEx, dog donations in FMF. Loaded dogs into car.

Drove to Mesquite Plaza, but discovered that the Craft Sales is tomorrow, not Friday.

Took dogs for a walk at the Info Center. Stupid meth people were there walking around & bicycling around in odd circles.

Got a call from a customer that was broke down in the first Truck turn-out heading towards Vegas outside of Mesquite.

Stopped and got trailer at Jose's yard. 

Drove to shop and got ramps & tie-downs. Met Johnny Karnes at the first turn out. Along with the Kokopelli club. Some weird lady came to introduce herself and met the dogs.

Drove Johnny home to Sunset Greens by the new RV park.

Took the UTV to the shop and unloaded it. Hubby had to talk overtly long with the Super ATV salesman. Then Jason's dog ran out and scratched the car jumping up. He ran out into traffic. Our dogs started barking. PBJR went out of her mind trying to attack the dog thru the window.

Took the trailer back to Jose's yard. I let the dogs run around. Riley really liked it. She got a lot of exercise.

Drove to Bank and deposit check inside. I gave Snowmen to all the tellers. 

Dropped stuff off at UPS. Then drove to Mesquite Business Center and dropped off FedEx return. Suzie came out and talked to me. Then Hubby came out with Pat. 

We drove to Walmart and picked up our grocery order. Needed milk at home, so had to drive to Smith's so Hubby could run inside and get milk, eggbites, Sushi. He said it was really crowded with old fucks.

Drove to Del Taco and got order of tacos & french fries. 

Drove home. I was feeling very poorly.

Hubby unloaded groceries and put them away. I made hot tea and sat on sofa. I was exhausted. I put away clean dishes and loaded the dishwasher again.

Hubby baked carrots and beans. He made more white rice for the dogs.

I took a nap at 5PM. 

Riley tried to sleep next to me, but she got nervous and went to sleep in her bed in the corner.

Woke up because Tater was barking at a UPS delivery out front. 

I played with Riley outside and threw BALL for her. It was dark. I had to pick up dog poo.

Then I did bookwork. I took a hot bath at 8:30PM. 

Hubby put away clean clothes. 

I cleaned the cooktop. 

We watched TV for a while. 

We went to bed at 10PM.

SNOWMEN

I worked on my blog. Went thru Business email.

Threw the BALL for Riley a couple times. It was too cold to be outside very long.

Hubby left at 8:30AM after he cleaned cat litter.

I loaded the dishwasher and started it. I put away clean clothes. I wrapped some more empty boxes to put on the cabinets. 

I put away clean dishes when it was done.

WEDNESDAY / DEC 10 / CLEAN WINDOWS

WEDNESDAY

DECEMBER 10 2025

I was up at 5AM because Hubby was snoring.

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

Hubby had left the iPad plugged in; even though I asked him NOT TO DO THAT. He left the heating pad turned on. 

At 6AM, Hubby got up and let dogs outside. He started to make them breakfast. 

I was up at 6:15AM. Everything hurt. I walked down the hallway to potty. Did not realize it, but I was bleeding thru the tampon. Drops of blood all the way down the hallway.

I got dressed.

I sat on the sofa like a zombie. Could not talk. No energy. No ability to think.

Hubby made the bed.  I had to put on a sweatshirt because it was cold.

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

The Window Cleaner guy came at 8AM. I only had him do the sliding glass doors, the back window, the mirrors in the bathrooms. I was too sick to tolerate him being here for 2 hours.

I paid him and gave him extra $ for Xmas and I gave him a snowman for his wife.

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

Went thru Business email. 

Hubby left at 8:30AM. He left Tater at home and took the Jeep. 

I mostly spent the morning sitting on the sofa with a heating pad, in a fugue state. 

I finally put dishes away. Put clothes away. 

I am in so much pain, so I took a painkiller. Did not help a lot.

FedEx delivered a package here from Schmidty Racing. Schmidty are stupid and did not read the information submitted on the Vendor Application. It was an over-night part that Hubby requires for the shop. I called and told him it was here.

Dogs spent most of the day outside. It was very nice and warm. Sunshine.

I gave them treats at 1PM.

At 3PM, Hubby called and said he was putting vehicles away and would be home after that.

Hubby got home at 3:30PM. 

He made dinner.

We watched TV. It was nice outside, so we sat outside on the patio for a while. I played BALL with Riley. Tater & PBJR slept on the dog beds.

We went inside and watched TV.

Went to bed at 10PM.
