Interesting day

The Curmudgeon had a decent day until sitting on the front porch in the sun managed to wipe him out.

I’m sure you are asking, “Now why was he sitting on the porch in the sun long enough to wipe him out?”

Well it has to do with two dogs, not ours, and trying to get them safely off the street.

G and I had gone to Target again to pick up two more movies, made a side trip to a little grocery store nearby, and then came home.

I’d bought a small container of pumpkin fudge at the grocery, and after tasting it decided G would love some too. I wrapped up a piece for her and walked over to her house.

Caught her just finishing lunch so she had a nice, sweet dessert to top it off.

When I walked out of her gate, and a little past her car, I got molested by two very friendly pit bulls. No owner in sight. Both looked overheated so I talked to them as I walked back home. hoping to give them water and get them on leashes.

I went inside for treats, a dish, and water, telling The Curmudgeon to call animal control.

The boy was very happy for water and treats but about then, the girl sensed I was up to something, and got cautious. Soon taking off down the street.

The Curmudgeon came out on the porch and kept the boy occupied while I went back inside for a leash. Animal control was on the way.

Our animal control guys are very nice, and very good with dogs. One of our favorite guys showed up to take the boy. I told him about the female, described her, and told him what direction she’d gone.

I hope he found her.

The traffic around here is too fast and very dangerous for roaming animals. At least one is safely off the street.

I am avoiding all things political

I refuse to watch TV.

I go on my Facebook page once a day and all flyers hit the recycling bin immediately.

I already know who I am voting for and don’t need an avalanche of paper to sway me because it won’t.

I already know who I am voting for so I don’t need a bunch of mud-slinging commercials to make me decide who I am voting for in all offices open for this election.

I refuse to discuss this election.

I think I watch too many cooking shows

What’s for dinner?

Three words I hate hearing the most.

Last night I pulled some boneless chicken breasts out of the freezer and thawed them.

What to do?

Remembered seeing someone soak the chicken in (smoked paprika and Adobo) seasoned milk…so I did that. Then they dipped the chicken in (smoked paprika, Adobo, and rosemary) seasoned flour, back in the milk, and into the flour again…I did that too.

Heated some oil in my non stick pan and dropped that chicken in there.

Cooked for four minutes a side and dang, they were good!

Sorry, I forgot to get a picture of it.

Therefore, I’m putting The Curmudgeon’s Tee shirt of the day up.

He struggled yesterday

It was hard to watch how much The Curmudgeon struggled to stay upright.

I cry every night after he goes up to bed.

I find myself pushing him away, distancing myself and I get so angry all the time.

I’m not a nice person.

I used to be a nice person.

A Pooh Bear sort of lunch

So I called G yesterday morning and asked her if she’d like to make a Target run with me.

She was game so off we went.

After making our purchases at Target, we headed over to the farmers market.

By the time we left the farmers market we were both starved and set our sights on our new favorite restaurant, Wrangler’s Roost.

As usual we ordered the same thing, a Southern fried chicken sandwich. It comes with either BBQ sauce or honey for dipping. We chose the honey.

The right choice! Absolutely delicious but very sticky. We were the image of Winnie The Pooh in the honey pot. 🙂

Lucy at the vet’s

Lucy went to the vet’s today, for her while asleep leakage problem and a sort of pre-tooth cleaning visit to set things up for it.

She managed to charm everyone there. She’s truly a love sponge.

Just a quick note

Did you ever notice how when you are told to rest it becomes impossible to do?

At least it is for me…

She’s trying to rest….

Rest he says…

My doctor wonders why I laugh whenever he tells me to get a lot of rest.

It’s a man thing. They have no idea why a woman never gets the rest she needs.

Rest he says….yeah, I’ll do that when I win the lottery and can hire an army of maids to clean this house.

Rest he says… I’ll do that when I hit the lottery and can hire a cook.

Rest he says… I’ll do that when I have a doggie door and dog proof fences.

Rest he says… I’ll do that when The Curmudgeon has his own nurse and I no longer have to do it all for him.

And now…I am going to try to get some rest.
