Does this mean I’ve become lazy or am I germaphobic?

Feb 3

Posted by

     I notice I am ordering more and more items online instead of going out shopping for them.  Is it laziness or something else?

     I know I am not very eager to go to peopled places with all the flu going around and me unable to tolerate the vaccines.  I will avoid grocery shopping for as long as possible and then as soon as I leave the store I slather my hands in hand sanitizer.  I never did that before.

     I am glad my postman likes me.  He does deliver so many packages to us lately.  He likes me because I chased him down on trick or treat night to give him a bag of assorted candy.  LOL, I never saw anyone quite so happy to get candy.

    Maybe I should put together a bag of valentine candies for him to stay in his good graces?

     You all have a good one!

Another day gone…

Jan 28

Posted by

     Piles of laundry, sweet-smelling, fresh, clean, folded and put away.  I may not have accomplished much yesterday, but I did do that.

     I wanted to work on my fairy tale and two of my books but there’s no such thing as concentration around here these days.

     The Curmudgeon was on one of his ‘let’s see how far I can push her to the edge’ days.  The pups wanted out every five minutes.  If I sat down at my computer, the phone rang, almost as if it were connected to my desk chair.

     Two days of warm temperatures ahead, I’ll add water to the pond.

     You all have a good one!

Updates for the week.

Jan 27

     Waking up well rested, finding The Curmudgeon in good shape, the dogs fed and taken out…that’s a good day.

     We  didn’t get a lot of snow.  I heard ‘AJ Wildflower Landscaping’  shoveling our sidewalk and drive around 5 this morning.  So glad I don’t have to do it.  I adore AJ,  she does a wonderful job.

    The dogs were quiet and cuddly all day.  I guess they figured we needed a break.   LOL!

     You all have a good one!

More pictures? Well….

     I am so tired that I really don’t have the brain function to sit here and write a long and involved blog post.

     I don’t think I’m coming down with something I think I am merely suffering from being awakened every day this week by Mr. Gavin screaming for his breakfast.  Not enough sleep makes the brain go into shut down mode.

     You all have a good one!

But Daddy, I want up there too!!!

A nice day

Jan 23

Posted by

     I took G out for lunch to celebrate her birthday.  We went to Red Robin.  Gee, going out twice in one month is unusual for me, but how odd is the same place twice?

     Anyway…back to Red Robin’s…we both had turkey burgers and they were scrumptious.  Juicy not dry, and well seasoned, not bland.  Color us pleased.

     Actually, we went there because it is close to the gym I wanted us to take a look at, we like it.  We’ve both been complaining about needing more exercise.  I suggested checking out a gym and another friend told me to check this place out–glad she did.  We’re going to check on a yoga studio next and then make a decision.  I’m betting the gym because it is more affordable.

Hehehe!  You all have a good one!

How to confuse a Curmudgeon and two dogs

Jan 21

Posted by

     The easiest way is to threaten to rearrange the furniture.  I keep telling him that some morning when he comes downstairs his chair will be on the other side of the room and the couch will be where his chair is now.

     He doesn’t believe me.  It will be fun to get it done.  All I need is time, muscle, and some real boredom.

     I haven’t been happy with the furniture placement since we got the new furniture. 

     The dogs will not adjust at first.  You should have seen their reactions when we moved their crates once.  I do think they’ll adjust faster than The Curmudgeon.

     You all have a good one!

If I put it here, it won’t get lost….

Jan 20

Posted by

     I am one of those people.  I put things away in a safe place where I’d be sure to find them, and can never find them again.

     It’s as if there’s a black hole for things like that.  I put a paper away a week or so ago, thinking I will remember where I put this.  Nope.  It didn’t happen.  Again.   I have torn the house apart many times over for many days and still haven’t found that one piece of paper and it is driving me crazy. 

      Yeah, I know…it’s a very short drive.

      Does anyone else do this?

     You all have a good one!

Bits and pieces

Jan 19

Posted by

     So now we wait for the results of the MRIs he had yesterday, and The Curmudgeon goes back for the longer EEGs in February.  The waiting is the hardest part.

     Next week is G’s 70th birthday.  We must figure out some way to make it magnificent for her.  I know I am going to kidnap her and take her out to lunch…

      The pups are not happy with the cooler weather although they do seem pleased that we had sun yesterday for the first time in ages.

     I lost two pounds.  Yay!!!

     You all have a good one!

Love my Kindle on days like this…

Jan 17

Posted by

     I drove The Curmudgeon to his EEG appointment.  They asked that we show up a half hour early.  We did.   I dropped him at the door with his rollator and went to park the van.

     When I got up to the appointment, they already had him back answering questions, handing them insurance cards, and filling out paperwork.

     We were sent back out to the waiting room.  With this being flu season I was happy there were no other people sitting out there.  I refuse to touch magazines in doctor’s offices.  Talk about germ factories.

     My kindle has 355 books and 9 games in it.  It fits in my little purse.  The Curmudgeon will play the games with me and I am the only one who touches it.

     Once they called him back for his EEG I sat back and read.  Before I knew it they were bringing him out.

     You all have a good one!

Happy Birthday my dear.

Jan 16

English: A Red Robin Restaurant in Tukwila, Wa...

I took The Curmudgeon out to dinner last evening.  We went to a Red Robin. (http://www.redrobin.com/)  This was his choice.  As we got settled in our booth, I told our lovely server that it was The Curmudgeon’s 60th birthday.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner.  I love not having to cook and do dishes.

When we finished eating, the table was suddenly surrounded by servers and a large, fuzzy Robin.  A sundae with party sprinkles and chocolate syrup landed in front of him.  Hands were clapped and their version of happy birthday made The Curmudgeon smile.

He gamely dug his way through the sundae…when we got to the car, he thanked me.  Said it was fun.  😀

You all have a good one!

Best collars ever!

Jan 8

Posted by

      I don’t usually promote people’s products, but a fellow Bull Terrier owner makes these great collars.  These are custom-made, she has many patterns to choose from (so don’t choose ours LOL!), and you can get either regular buckle collars or martingale.  She also makes other products.  Soon, she hopes to be listing her products on Etsy.

Cwazy sort of day…

Jan 4

Posted by

     I know a few of you were looking forward to another installment of the fairy tale, but after spending a few hours at the neurologist’s office and thereby running behind on everything for the rest of the day yesterday.  I had no time to sit down and do any writing.  I hope to remedy that today.

     On the seventh I have to call into the courthouse to see if I must report for jury duty.  I don’t mind other than I have nothing suitable to wear that fits me.  I actually made it as far as Voir Dire once.  They cut me though.   I guess making the judge, the DA, assistant DA, and the defense attorney crack up doesn’t get you on a jury.  🙂

     Can I help it if they asked me if cops were infallible?  I answered truthfully–Are you kidding me?  I am married to one! 

     This time I am not eager to go.  The Curmudgeon has had some trouble of late and I hate leaving him alone with the pups all day.

You all have a good one!
