Thursday, January 31st., 2019…... This morning we decided to head out to Albany
for a little shopping. My sister wanted some items from Lowe’s and I needed a
belt for my sander. We picked up Penny and went to Shirley May’s for
breakfast. Turns out all three of us
ordered the same breakfast – three eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast. But the
girls only wanted two eggs. Shirley asked me if I wanted their extra egg? "Sure",
I said. So, my meal was now served with five eggs! After the predicted
cholesterol jokes, I proceeded to eat up everything on my plate! It was
perfect!
After that filling meal, we headed
on over to Home Depot and then to Lowe’s and then back to Home Depot. The
weather is changing for us. I know the folks back east are dealing with record
cold, and we are lucky it’s just cooler for us right now. It was 33º when we
left Shirley’s and my car beeped a warning that there may be ice on the roads. But the sun was trying to come out and the
roads were fine. We made the rounds with
no issues. My sister bought two new light fixtures for her hallway and I
installed those for her and then we left to go back home to feed the butthead.
I went out and installed the new belt on the sander. It was still chilly out there and since I
didn’t have any projects to work on, I came in and we kicked back for the rest
of the day. With that big breakfast under my belt, I skipped lunch. Lydia
hadn’t gotten anything out for dinner so I went to KFC and picked up dinner and
we ate (I had a super light meal) and watched more episodes of Guy’s Grocery
Games that we had gotten behind on again.
Friday, February 1st., 2019…… Sprinkles are back again. Nothing strong at
all – just enough to wet the ground. Rain is coming tonight and tomorrow, so
the temps were up to 45º this morning when I walked Rylee. They say that next
week the temps are expected to drop and the snow levels will be lower. They may
come down to 1000 ft. (we are at 340 ft. here in Lebanon) so we’ll see. I went
to Walmart after our morning walk and got syrup and sausages for French toast.
While I was out, Lydia got her call for the surgical consult. It is setup for
this coming Monday afternoon. She’s feeling better this week, with only a few
cramps now and then. They said they will run a few more scans but just meeting
with the surgeon will ease her mind in case they might need to operate. We also called the kids in Florida. Their new
golden doodle puppy, Maddie, has had some complications from her recent
spaying. She’s back in the veterinary hospital but they said she’s doing better
today. We know how they feel and wanted to call to check on them. It’s tough
when a dog is not feeling well. On a lighter note, I also got a call from La Z Boy that my
chair is prepped and is wrapped and sitting in the back room ready for pickup
tomorrow. We are planning on heading down early in case the rains come in. Yes,
I have my tarp already in the truck! I spent the morning taking the old chair
out to the shop. I may leave it out there for a bit but I don’t think I want to
keep it in the shop where it would get dirty. Besides, it’s really jacked up - maybe
I’ll just dismantle it and toss the pieces in the woodpile, recycle and trash. I came back in the house and got the vacuum out and got my room done. I kept going and vacuumed the rest of the carpets and sucked up all the little ‘Ryleedevils’
floating around on the wood floors. Jeff texted and gave us a heads up on
uploading Google Duo on Lydia’s cell. It allows real-time video between Apple
and Android phones. Once installed, he called and we got to see Maddie,
relaxing at home now. She’s doing well. We had a nice talk then Lydia got
dinner going. We had tri-tip with a cauliflower/broccoli/cheese casserole and
smashed potato dinner and watched tv until bedtime.
Saturday, February 2nd., 2019…... Light rain (drizzle) again last
night. We managed to get out this morning for my walk with Rylee in between the
sprinkles. Then we took off to drive down to Eugene (30 miles) to pick up my
chair. We left early enough to stop for breakfast and then stop by Jerry’s
Hardware before heading over to La Z Boy. As promised, it was sitting there all
wrapped up. The wrap was enough and there was no rain around so I didn’t need
the tarp. I covered it with the cargo net and we headed back home. I just had to
back up the truck into the garage and unload it and Lydia and I manhandled it into
my room and I was good to go!
Lydia
took off and went to Walmart and got stuff for spaghetti and when she got back,
we both relaxed until dinner. We knocked out a few more episodes of Guys
Grocery Games while we ate. Then we spent the rest of the evening watching our own
taped shows before calling it a night.
