Muscle relaxants the key to getting nothing done…At. All.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
If my back weren’t so sore, I wouldn’t take the muscle relaxants and would actually get some things accomplished.
As it is, I take a half of one before I go to sleep. Then I zonk out until almost three in the afternoon and nothing gets done.
My back is feeling better though.
Is it worth the trade-off? I don’t know.

So here we are in fall now…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I still do not have my back porch winterized, no caulking done, no weather-stripping on the back door up. Nothing.
The front porch is still falling apart.
My attic is not cleaned. Hell, the house isn’t clean.
I’ve not rearranged one single piece of furniture in any room.
The yard still looks like crap as does the gardens.
In other words, I’ve accomplished nothing.
It sucks to not have any help.
A miracle

The Curmudgeon actually had a good day.
I woke late, due to taking a muscle relaxant for my back, to find that he went out and picked up the dogs’ medications and his own.
I was so grateful and surprised that you could have knocked me over with a feather.
Anything else I need to do?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Yesterday: Overslept, completely forgot The Curmudgeon had a neurologist appointment.
Deeply asleep. Woke to his voice on the phone telling me to get up.
Jumped up, adrenaline flowing because I thought he’d fallen again. Realized he hadn’t after my heart was pumping 100 mph.
I had less than an hour to dress and drink enough coffee to get me alert enough to drive.
Today, I have to run to the vet’s office for the dogs’ allergy medications.
Then I have to stop at the pharmacy for The Curmudgeon’s medications.
After running all over town, I need to find some time to sit down and write checks out for bills–if I have enough mind available to do that.
Then there’s laundry, cooking dinner, and taking care of the pups.
Not to mention that I also need to clean the house, go grocery shopping, and run The Curmudgeon to two more appointments this week.

Is it over yet?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
This is one of those days where I truly do not feel like writing a post for this blog.
Beyond exhausted in mind, body, and soul. I don’t even want to talk to anyone.
The Curmudgeon makes my brain hurt.

MS so sucks
Posted by doggonedmysteries
There’s nothing quite so depressing as finding The Curmudgeon on the floor unable to move but a little.
Due to a wonderful wedding, there was no help forthcoming from next door.
Yep, threw my back out again along with doing some damage to my shoulder. And still could not get him up from the floor and into his chair.
Had to go searching to find a neighbor who could help. As luck would have it, Fred was home and came to help. I hate to ask him because he has enough on his plate.
Running away to live on a beach looks better every day.

Some idiot hacked my computer.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I have to take my computer in for repair. The Curmudgeon let a hacker in, how fun…NOT.
Not smart to piss me off so completely. I delved into all the ways one can curse someone. He (the hacker) has been cursed in all the ways I could find. Some were very interesting, they start small and grow.
Can you feel it now?

Trickle down theory Bull Terrier style
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Lucy has figured out that if she bugs me enough when I am busy on the computer she’ll be put in her crate and get a cookie. Then, after she’s in the crate for a little while, she plays the prisoner with a tin cup (runs her paws down the crate door bars several times) she gets to come out again.
Gavin knows if he trips me while I am carrying The Curmudgeon’s lunch to him, he might just get a chance to snag a half a sandwich off the floor.
Lucy knows The Curmudgeon always comes down from his nap with a butterscotch candy in his mouth and if she barks at him enough he’ll give her a tiny piece.
Yes, life with Bull terriers is never dull.

I think we’re in for a long week
Posted by doggonedmysteries
G is having a tooth pulled today. I’ll be over to see her afterwards with an ice pack and straws. Been there a couple of times.
The Curmudgeon and I both have doctor appointments this week. Oh fun.
I’d like to make a Target and a grocery store run. With a stop at the farmers market Thursday or Friday.
The yard needs a lot of work and of course I am the only who does the work other than the mowing where we have hired someone to do that. Just thinking of all the work that needs doing makes me tired.
I also need to clean out the attic, replace the window screen up there with something that can tolerate the strength of the whole house fan, and get some caulking done. There’s painting to do too.
The back porch needs a good clearing out along with caulking, sealing, and weather-stripping on the back door.
Sure do wish I was three people so I could actually get everything done I need to get done here before winter.
Sigh. And then there is this:

Ohm…….

I hope when I wake up later that I will be able to have a calm and serene day. I truly need one.
I am sick and tired of being stressed out.
I wish I had a better lid on my temper but lately I don’t even have a paper plate for it. Seems everything is setting me off.
