Saturday, Sep 28th, 2019…… Doing ok this morning. Still have
the swollen face but it feels a little better.
Sis came by and brought Quincy to walk and play with muttley. She left
the Q over here to avoid any conflicts because Kirk and a friend were coming
today to lay down the pavers in front of her side gate. We had no plans today.
I went and got us breakfast burritos and coffee/tea and we hung around the
house most of the day. It has been cloudy and cooler today. Rain is coming. I
watched a couple of races and later, we went out to get pizza. This time we
chose James Gang. Since it was Saturday afternoon it was really crowded and
noisy so we decided to order for take out. That still took over 30 minutes!
Plus, some guy came in and picked up his order of 15 pizzas! He was dressed nice
so we think it was for a church group or some family party. We got home and dug in! James Gang is no 5-star place – it’s pretty
basic and shows its age. We still like Pizza Schmizza better, but I think I am
now going to rank the pizza at James Gang higher. We really like the crust! The
rains showed up as we were driving home but it is just sprinkles, hardly enough
to turn the wipers on for! It did rain a little harder right before we went to
bed. 40% chance tomorrow. Between
showers, Lydia let Rylee out to pee/poop and she saw Ollie out and took
off. I brought her back but she’s in
trouble!
Sunday, Sep 29th, 2019…... Nothing on the agenda for today.
It is raining lightly right now and it’s expected to be like this for most of
the morning. I got monkey butt out for her walk. But she’s on a tight leash
after yesterday. After we got back, I stayed home and made coffee and
breakfast. Lydia worked a little bit on cutting fabric for her quilting class
tomorrow and I watched tv most of the day. The blotches on my face are red and
swollen right when I get up, I guess from lying down, but go away after I’m up
for a bit. But they are still noticeable. I still have blotches on my wrists
and forearms and one on my hip. Those really itch but the prednisone is
supposed to kick in and help with allergies and skin issues. I already have a
dermatology appointment on the 21st to remove some moles/skin tags
on my face, so I will definitely be talking about this rash! Sis came by later today to watch tv with
Lydia. During our blackout of CBS stations here last month, she had taped some
shows in the motorhome because that is LA feed and was working. So, they made
time today to go get caught up on their shows out there. When they came in, sis
asked if Mexican food sounded good. Of course! We went back again to our new
favorite place, Dos Arbolitos. This time, Lydia and I ordered their wet burritos
and these are what we got…
It was
delicious but we couldn’t eat it all! Both of us brought half home. Sis left us and
took Quincy and went home. Later, Lydia let Rylee out again and despite all of
the work to get her to come back, she took off and headed out to the high grass
way back behind the shop! I know she just wants to run and play but she needs
to listen to us! I was not happy because
I had to go get her turned and headed back to the house. She did, with her tail
tucked in. She got her butt whipped! She
knew I was mad! When she knows we are
mad at her, she looks so sheepish and so much wants us not to be mad, but we
have to show her we are not happy with her when she ignores us! She worked her
way back to my room and stayed at my feet and napped before bedtime. When we
did go to bed, she waited a few minutes, then slowly worked her way to lay down
on her blanket on the floor beside me.
Monday, Sep 30th, 2019…... During the night (I think it was about 1:30am
or so), Rylee wanted out again. She did – on the rope – and then came back in.
I wiped her feet and she came in and got up on the bed and cuddled up to me.
She had her lesson and I can’t stay mad forever so all is good again. But now
you know why I call her Butthead!
When we
got up this morning, I showered and got going with her walk and breakfast. Then, I took off and got coffee and my
breakfast before heading over to my sister’s house to do some chores she had
saved up for me. I was there a short
time and got everything done that was on her list. Then I headed off to Albany
to get some more ‘dog rope’. The clothesline size I had was working well and
was light so she could run with it attached, but it gets wet and then baked and
eventually breaks down. She can snap it easily and I have to tie it up, so it
was time for new. I hit our discount store (Wheeler Dealer) and found what I
wanted, then went over to Lowes and got some more screen for the back sliding
door. If you remember, some time back, we took out the doggie door and
re-screened. But I had used a heavy-duty pet screen and it was hard to make sure
the frame was squared - and it turned out to have a gap at the top of the door.
This allowed room for bugs to get in, so I needed to replace it again. I got
back and got everything unloaded. I had brought back a 20-inch log that sis
wanted cut in half and each piece hollowed out enough to put a plant in there.
I figured I could use a spade bit and found one that worked pretty well. I got
about half of the first one dug out this afternoon. But I will put that on hold and work on the
screen first thing tomorrow.
Lydia made
chicken and rice for dinner and we watched the last (or so we thought) of the
Brady House Renovation series. It was a nice project and I think they did it
right. There are two more ‘after-the-show-behind-the-scenes’ specials coming so
we’ll be watching those as well. We also
watched DWTS. Lydia headed for bed but I wasn’t tired so I watched tv while I
worked on this blog before calling it a night.
