It rained…a lot.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
“I want to go out! I want to go out right now!” Gavin’s incessant ringing of the sleigh bells had me about up the wall.
“It’s raining outside. You really don’t want to go.”
“WANT OUT!!!”
“Oh for heaven’s sake…” I open the door, the rain is coming down in sheets. He goes out. “I guess you really did have to pee, huh?”
He dashes back in after peeing a lake. “Wet, need to shake all this water on you.”
I throw a towel over Gavin before he can soak me and thank the fates that he’s a short-haired dog and not a long-haired one. We go into the kitchen and Patty steps in front of me.
“Want out.”
“Patty, you really want out?”
“Want out.”
I open the back door.
She steps to the top step and stops with her butt in the door. “It’s raining. I might melt.”
“Too late you’re going now.” I gently boot her down the steps and wait with towel in hand while she does her business.
She piles in the door, soaked to the skin. I throw the towel over her and briskly rub her down. She likes the towel part.
At least we didn’t have anything struck by lightning again…
You all have a good one!

Phooey on grocery shopping and how much it costs.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I really hate grocery shopping. I know I’ve said that many times before but it is true. Today’s shopping wasn’t too bad, the store was practically empty. It was the cost of them, the unloading of the car, and putting it all away that about killed me. The Curmudgeon tried to help but he can only carry so many heavy bags and then he has to quit.
My list wasn’t as long as past lists but I swear the groceries cost two times more than the last time…again. It’s not as though I went to an expensive grocery store either, I shopped at a discount grocery store. If the prices keep rising we are nearing a beans and rice three times a week budget.
You all have a good one!

Silly dogs!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
In between the kitchen and the back porch we have a half-door that we can use when we want the regular door open. I had two dogs telling me to hurry up and get their food in their dishes. Gavin was almost too quick to photograph. LOL!

Tooth is going bye bye today
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I’ve had teeth extracted before so I know I’m not going to be feeling wonderful for several days. Therefore I am taking a slight vacation from posting on my blog. I’ll be back sometime next week so keep checking back!
You all have a good one today and for the rest of the week.

So the tree guy won’t be here until wednesday….
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Meanwhile more damage is done to my poor tree by waiting–another branch broke under the weight of the broken parts yesterday.

Where has my energy and time gone?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I really dislike when things get ahead of me. It then seems to take forever and more energy than I have to catch up. The garden is a mess and I haven’t the energy and the temperature is not conducive to working out there. I hate having my garden look so crappy. It needs a ton of weeding done and a good layer of mulch put down.
Don’t get me started on how far behind I am on housework and writing. I have all the good intentions in the world about getting things done, but before I know it, days have passed me by.
The Curmudgeon’s mobility scooter has died and he’s completely stuck in the house making for an even more curmudgeonly Curmudgeon. I have no idea how to repair it and when he asked the company about it they blew him off–how wonderful.
*Sigh* I hope you all have a good one!
But Momma, I want dat lamb gravy!

Not a Mastercard moment… Oh wait, it will be….
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Having to get up an hour earlier than planned to have to dash to oral surgeon’s office because he had another place to be=pissed that there’s an hour gone I’ll never get back.
Paying $93.00 for a ‘consultation’ which was five minutes of the oral surgeon’s time=very unhappy
Not having to pay for ANOTHER x-ray because I raised a stink about it=maybe a little happy
Having a tooth extraction and bill for $226.00 looming in my future=very, very unhappy.
Knowing I might get a few days of pampering out of it=priceless
You all have a good one!
I’ve become a lazy baker and cook.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Hehehe! I baked oatmeal cookies tonight and kept tripping over two dogs who thought whatever Mom was making smelled wonderful. I don’t spend time mixing batter and fussing anymore. I get most of my meats and some other items through a lovely company called Five Star Home Foods http://www.fivestarhomefoods.com. They have several different cookie doughs. 😀
I love their cookie dough because I can bake exactly what I want, usually 4 cookies, two for me two for The Curmudgeon. We get fresh from the oven cookies. I don’t have to dirty a mixing bowl and their cookies are good.
Yes, after years of being an excellent baker and cook, I have gone the lazy route.
You all have a good one!

Short post today.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Well, I did it. Cracked a molar. I’m so glad I finally got in to see my dentist who just got back from vacation. He’s sending me to an oral surgeon to have it extracted. However, all his fooling around that tooth to see what was going on, has me in some pain so I’ll be heading out early.
You all have a good one!
Lovely day for walk.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Yesterday was the perfect weather for a walk in the park. It was warm but we had a lovely breeze to keep us from over heating. The humidity we’ve had lately was gone, hurrah!
We did the short route though because G’s knee was bothering her but we did get in a mile and a half. I do enjoy our park and hated to see what Saturday’s storm did there. We were checking out the storm damage while we walked. There were several trees that lost large branches.
G says quite a few trees in the cemetery sustained some damage too. Her husband is working to help clear the many downed branches.
When we arrived home the pups wanted me to take them out in the yard, they too are enjoying the change in the weather.
You all have a good one!
