Thursday, December 27th, 2018…... Rylee got me up early this morning – first to
let her out to pee, and then to feed her breakfast. She’s getting a little
chunky lately. I’m guessing it’s because we haven’t had the weather lately to
allow her out to run and play and work some of it off. But I’m now starting to cut down a little on
each of her meals. She doesn’t notice so it’s a good thing! Today though, we
had some time outside because the skies were a nice deep blue! No rain, just a
couple of clouds throughout the day. So, I decided to take advantage of the weather
and got all of the outside lights down and put away. I put Rylee on a leash out
in the front yard so she spent some time exploring out there while I worked.
Meanwhile, Lydia started in on the tree and took down the ornaments and got
those all put away. We took a few breaks during the day but we managed to get
everything else boxed back up as well. I took some of the tubs back out to the
shop and will get the rest of it finished up tomorrow.
Friday, December 28th, 2018…… Today started
out nice. I ate breakfast at home then went over to my sister’s house to help
her out in the garage. We put up a hanger for her step ladders, then we got her
Christmas stuff put back up in her storage rafters. Her new printer was
delivered so I stayed and helped her get started on installing it. Once she got
going on it, I left to head to Walmart. I texted Lydia and she wanted to go too
so I swung back by the house and picked her up. We got what we needed and got
home just before the sprinkles came. I put off my plans to work on the
Christmas tubs and will do that when the weather clears up. So, except for a
couple of trips with Rylee in between the drizzle, we stayed in the house most
of the rest of the day and played and watched tv. Lydia made a nice dinner
(turkey/tator tot casserole) and we caught up on Guys Grocery Games while we
ate. Before dinner, I did sit down and finish up my year-end check book as well
as my year-end expense ledger and got the template excel document revised to
start up again to track 2019 expenses.
Saturday, December 29th, 2018…... The weather is cloudy and drizzly again this
morning. It rains a bit at night and seems to clear up in the early morning
hours, then cloud up again and rain off and on during the day. This weekend is
more of the same, clearing on Monday. I dodged the rain this morning and got
Rylee out for her walk. We still aren’t able to walk too much on the grass
around the house. You squish down and it will soak your shoes clear through! We
don’t walk out there (except to clean up after super pooper!) but Rylee still
wants to go out. We can put her on the long 80’ rope, tied up to just reach the
porch, and she can run and play, but we still need to clean her up every time
she comes back in!
This has
been college football week. There are numerous bowl games (I think I heard
somewhere that there are over 40 bowl games each year!), most of which don’t
mean anything in the standings. All of these started on 12/15, and most have
been played this past week or so. But the playoff series to determine the
College Football Championship starts now. Both the Cotton Bowl (Notre Dame vs
Clemson) and the Orange Bowl (Oklahoma vs Alabama), are being played today and
the winners of each will meet for the championship on Jan 7th. I
have watched some of the bowl games (because there are no Nascar or IndyCar or
F1 races until next season) but these two are games I have been waiting for.
So, you know what I will be doing today. I think I’ve got Lydia’s cold coming
on. It was a good day to stay in.
