After the sadness of freaky Tru at the Corvallis trial, I went to Portland to be with Alysa as she had surgery to remove some bad cells from her cervix. It all went well, and Rob and I tortured her with our craziness, which made her WANT to be put under to get away from us :) poor thing...I turn into a nut when I'm in a hospital, cracking stupid jokes and being weird...and of course, Rob tops me! We had a blast.
Then I spent the rest of the week working in the yard, and laying more bricks around the house to try to de-mud it for years to come. Damn those bricks are hard...I have little bruises all over my thighs! But it's coming along...96 bricks down...many many more to go.
I'm definitely not a champion bricklayer...but I enjoy the result!
On Saturday, Stephanie and Henry came over and we played outside, he took a nap, then we all went to the zoo....and THEN.. Henry got to spend the night with JUST ME! We had so much fun...he just adores the dogs, and they adore him. Jammer might be a jerk at times, but he loves kids, especially Henry...he just lays next to him as Henry wiggles his fingers in his fur...
Plus...
, I can get him to do ANYTHING by bribing or threatening (as the case may be) with the dogs!
I.e. "I don't want to take a bath!"
But the dogs want to watch you take a bath..
This is his pool side bar...he was offering them coffee...so fun.
And where does Henry sleep on impromptu sleep over night? On a bed made off dog beds of course (lay 2 side by side and add blankets!),..with his 'best friend' Mick at his side, and dog toys everywhere. I had to move them off his bed, where he had gathered them all...
It was a great week!
Then I came home, and became depressed again...so much to do over at moms, but we are getting thru it...and just a few more days and I get to go to Portland and RAT! Yes, life is good....it just has a few speed bumps right now.
Hope to see man of you there!
