Monday, December 11th, 2017…...
I woke up early this morning thinking I may get a call for
my dog walker job. She texted me about
7:40 and I headed over. The walk today
was cold! We headed out a different way this morning and did another 1 ½ miles
or so today. When we got back Penny was there to feed her. She is feeling a bit better but didn’t need
to go out in the cold. I got back home a bit later and got out the griddle and
Lydia made us pancakes for breakfast.
One of my favs! We spent a bit of
time online shopping this morning. We
found out that Frances started a new job recently and may not be able to take
time off to come up so we ordered her gift online. Afterward I worked a bit on my landscaping
project. I have a walkway we are not
happy with. It starts at the back porch
and goes to the driveway headed to the shop. Walt did a nice concrete walk, but
– for some reason - set part of it up with flagstone rocks with tiny white
gravel bits around them, in a curved border.
It doesn’t fit anything so we want to alter it a bit, maybe straighten
it out and get rid of the little gravel. The future plan would be to repour the
area and widen it enough for an rv to park there next to it. Problem is – the ground’s too cold to work
right now. So, all I can do is rope it
off and maybe think about how to remove the gravel. Maybe my shop vac…..
Even though it
warmed up nicely this afternoon, I came in to the warm house a bit later and
called it a day. Tonight Lydia made spaghetti for dinner and we enjoyed a quiet
night watching tv until bedtime.
Tuesday, December 12th,
2017…... This morning we got up and moving early. Penny felt better and took Quincy. But after my shower I discovered that we didn’t
have power in either of the wall outlets in the master bath. Tripped GFCI – right? Wrong. I tested the GFI circuit and found it was
working. But the two outlets past it
were not. ??? I went to Ace Economy Hardware and got a new
GFI outlet and replaced it. I wasn’t sure if that would do it and it didn’t. I will have to get a regular outlet just to
test the wiring. Meanwhile, Lydia left to go get her hair cut. It’s ‘$10.00 Tuesdays’ at her place! I fixed
myself some leftover spaghetti and bread and was full later in the day when she
asked about dinner. So, she made chili
dogs and had chips. That means I have the
leftovers of that for tomorrow! I love chili dogs!
