What a lovely day we had.

     It’s a darned shame that with nice weather my energy levels didn’t go up.  If they had, I would’ve done so much yesterday that people would have fallen down in dead faints to see it.

     However, no one fainted, and I accomplished only minimal amounts of work.  I think my get up and go, got up and went.  If you happen to see it would you kindly direct it back here?

     Being outside in the sunshine was a pure invitation to laziness and my playful side.  The dogs and I had a rip-roaring wild game of find Mommy–tag, she’s it!  They are still snoring in their crates.  Funny, by now they normally want a last out.  I may have to wake them for that.

     You all have a good one! 

     Blessings on Boston.  A candle burns in this house for you all.

Our yard, a couple days of pictures

Our hearts are with Boston

You can run, but you can’t hide.  You will be found and punished for what you did. 

An unplanned life

     So we managed to survive day before yesterday and yesterday was a bit of an improvement.  The Curmudgeon’s walking had improved and he was able to function.  I never did make it to the gym, grocery store, or the farmers market.

     If you haven’t noticed or read about it here before, we seldom make plans.  I know that if we do make plans, something around here is bound to change them.  If it isn’t The Curmudgeon changing our plans, it is the dogs.

     It makes for a strange life, but it is our life an unplanned life for certain. 

     I do think the dogs had a plan for whatever it was they were mooching from The Curmudgeon…

We continue on, one day and one step at a time

     It scares me to death when The Curmudgeon has a bad spell.   He had a particularly bad one yesterday. 

     He was on the floor and I couldn’t get him up.  I hurt my back trying to do it.  Finally, I called the neighbor for help.  We were fortunate he was home and responded.

     With me already an emotional wreck, this bad spell sent me over the edge. While the neighbor helped him, I fell apart in the kitchen, well away from them so The Curmudgeon couldn’t see me.

     I know he’s frustrated when these things happen.  I am too.  There’s no light on the horizon either, and yet we plod on.

Remembering ….

A new toy in the kitchen

     I ordered a bacon/grill press last week.  It arrived yesterday.  I tested it last night on our breakfast for dinner, dinner.   I made sausage patties and French toast.  These sausage patties are what we get from Five Star Foods.  I love them but I never liked how they’d curl up.  I’d have to snip them four or five times around the edges to keep them flat.

     The press worked nicely.  I am pleased, now I can’t wait to use it with my grill pan.  Oh, the paninis and other goodies I will make!

      You all have a good one!

I accomplished absolutely nothing yesterday…again.

     Ever have one of those days where you pop out of bed all eager and ready to embrace the day and get things done?  Yeah, I don’t either.

     I don’t know about you but I tend to look at the clock, roll over, and try to get ‘a few more minutes’ in.  If I’m lucky, those few more minutes turn into maybe a half hour and some good dreaming.  I’m seldom lucky.

     Normally, I hear The Curmudgeon fussing at the dogs or moaning and groaning about heaven knows what on the TV.  That will definitely make you want to roll over and squeeze out a few minutes or hours of more sleep.

     When I do drag my over-tired, over-stressed corpse out of bed, I try to put off going downstairs a while longer by doing some Yoga.  I somehow miss out on finding Nirvana though…If you ever do find it let me know what it was like.

     You all have a good one!

     Hehehe, we got our Daddy on floor with us.  It’s time to get wild and play!!!

Pictures because I am lazy today…

     In case any of you have wondered what my desk top looks like, this is what is on my right side and on the top.

     Yes, there are two skinny pictures to keep reminding me of my goal.  No, we won’t talk about all my toys.  😛

     My batty Pez holder is empty…need more Pez.

     You all have a good one!
