Sunday, May 27th, 2018…… I
woke up this morning before Rylee did! I went in and she was laying on her bed
instead of standing at the gate waiting for me to let her out. She wanted back
on our bed again – it’s now a routine – so we did that. I got her out later and
we played until it was time for my shower. Lydia slept through it all. She was really tired from all of her work
yesterday. She is also stiff and
sore. No worries – no work planned at
all for today! We’re going to lay around
and rest and watch tv and play with super pooper. Speaking of that, she is already showing
signs of improvement in her runny stool.
It’s starting to firm up. I’m
hoping I can shorten the time I have to give her meds for this. I am supposed to check in with the vet on
Tuesday and I’ll give him an update.
For me, today, was racing heaven. First
up is the Monaco Grand Prix Formula 1 race, then it was the Indianapolis
500. Last on the race day is the Coca
Cola 500. I may not have liked all of
the results, but I sure enjoyed the day! I did spend some time on my
checkbook. I still keep track of all of
my spending in the checkbook, even though I write very few checks now since
almost everything is auto deducted. I also have a spreadsheet of my spending
and I worked on that as well.
Monday, May 28th, 2018…… Memorial Day! Started in 1868, issued as a ‘general order’
designated May 30th as a memorial day honoring Civil War comrades
who died in defense of their country. Please
remember those who gave their lives to keep this country free! For me, it is my
high school buddies who I lost in the Vietnam war. I always think what their
lives would be like had they made it through and were around today.
Our plans today
included a bbq. Even though I hooked up
the gas line to my Jenn Air and tested it weeks ago, we hadn’t actually cooked
anything yet, so today was the day. Lydia had bought steaks and she and Penny
had prepped everything else and was ready for me to fire up the barbie! I got
it going and got everything grilled and we ate. The steaks were really tasty and everything
else was good too!
Guess what? Our
workers showed up today! Turns out they had gotten back from their fishing trip
a day early. They own a 28’ boat docked in Newport and were out for 4 days and
Tim’s son, TJ was off today and wanted some work, so they came over and he
helped get the rest of the battens installed and then they worked on the
drywall for the ceiling. Might as well
use the labor!
Rylee got back
in her pool twice today since the weather is warmer up here now. It was up to
75º today with clear skies, so the water warmed up pretty quickly. She and
Quincy played again today. Quincy is
really hesitant at first but warms up to Rylee after a while. They ended up running around the side yard nonstop
for about 10 minutes, then collapsed in two heaps on the lawn!
End of day 37....
