Low and slow
Today was a fly low and slow day.
After hours of “Mom throw it, throw it, throw it!” Lucy wanted me to sit on the couch so she could curl up next to me and take a snooze.
I was perfectly willing to do so since it was a chilly, dreary, damp sort of day.
I got some reading in.
I’m going to wait to sleep upstairs until the new blinds get here and I can hang them and the curtains. That new street light is far too bright.
G stopped over and I asked her to join me for dinner since I was going to pull out my grill pan and make up a London broil I had marinated over night. She was happy to come over later, all she needed to do was supply her side since I only had one small sweet potato for me.
We had a great time and the steak was delicious.
I think we’ll do it more often.
Now, it is back to my book for me…it was getting to a good part.
Lucy had a vet appointment….(OUCH)
It got expensive. Even with her April fool disguise bunny ears.
Paid for yearly check up, fecal, blood test for heartworm, lyme, ehrl., allergy shot, vaccines that were due, anal glands done, yearly worming medicine, biohazard disposal fees….total cost for today? $422.11.
And I didn’t even get her break through allergy meds, her Proin for leaky bladder, or heartworm and flea and tick meds.
At least all I’ll need to do for traveling is call them for a health certificate print out.
I swear I am getting the run around from the life insurance company, and if bills like this keep stacking up, I am going to go off the deep end.
There aren’t enough guns to cover the bills. And, today I got the first medical bill from his hospital stay….

One way to get spring cleaning…
After Maggie left today, Lucy spent most of the day when I was downstairs bringing me one toy after another to throw. This went on until after her dinner at 5 where she crawled onto Jay’s chair and passed out.
I managed to get over half the bedroom floor vacuumed and scrubbed. I pulled the storage bins out from under the bed and put them under the desk.
All I have left to do is clean the bookcase and vacuum and scrub about 1/4 of the floor and rug.
I did 4 loads of wash too.
My house is in the beginning stages of neat and clean. It still has a way to go in two bedrooms, the living room and kitchen. We won’t even mention the basement, attic, and back porch yet.
It is still a bit overwhelming but a lot less now than it was thanks to Maggie’s help in getting one of the worse areas done.
At least I don’t want to cry when I walk into that room now.
I do believe tomorrow night Lucy and I will actually sleep in a real bed.
