I've been rereading some of the old posts on this blog and they brought back a lot of memories both good and bad. This past two years has been really rough. My father died in October of 2018 with my mother passing away in December of 2018. They had been divorced since I was a teen and I'm fifty-four now. I haven't seen my father for years and he ( Read more... )

We went to Western Kansas yesterday to take Cooper back home with my uncle. Hopefully, the dog does not run away when he is let out. My uncle was looking and sounding a lot better than he did on Christmas.

The problem started after eating supper on Thursday. My bottom half was hot while my top half was cold. I put on my heavy hoodie and went to lay on my bed with a blanket folded double. I watched something on Hulu but I was zoning in and out so I cannot remember what it was. That lasted until about nine when I finally vomitted. I called it a night ( Read more... )

I mowed the grass this morning then did some yard work. I managed to finish working the dividing garden in the back yard. I turned the soil with a shovel and put the black plastic over it. Not sure what we are going to plant there yet. I also turned the soil out by the alley to plant red and giant sunflowers. I put the dog kennel back together ( Read more... )

Mother bought two new chairs today since they were on sale at the store where I work. My broken one went immediately out by the trash. Unfortunately, she did not like sitting in her new chair because her feet would not touch the floor. I like the new chair since it has a thicker seat. Bandit had trouble jumping up on my lap the first few times.

The last day of March was so nice that I took two of the three dogs for a short walk. I once again opened my bedroom window to enjoy the fresh air. Tomorrow is supposed to be another warm day but very windy.

I let Brandi out this morning and sneezed, which made her jump. When I wiped my nose, my hand came away bloody. Yep, I had another bloody nose but this one was not as bad as the last one. I hurried her outside and quickly grabbed a tissue before getting a wet rag. The blood stopped flowing after a few minutes. I gave it a rating of five.

I dug out the Christmas decorations today since the weather was nice. I even put up the Santa train that goes in the front yard. Of course, the first thing that Brandi did tonight was wrapped her leash around the spotlight.

Today was the first day of fall and the wind had a chilly bite to it. Mom worked this morning and was bored after the first few hours. She rested up this afternoon so she could go to bingo with a friend. The other stocker and I kept ourselves busy by doing odds and ends. I had no trouble with my trigger finger until late this afternoon. I wore my ( Read more... )

I helped my sister wash Brandi and then I cleaned out the car. Those were the highlights of my day.
