Friday, Oct 4th, 2019…… I got up early this morning and got Rylee out
and walked and fed. The weather is kind of chilly (45º) in the mornings but
warms up to the low 60s during the day. I’ve switched from sandals to tennis
shoes but I’m still in shorts. A long sleeve flannel shirt works for now. My
sister came by this morning to help me pick grapes. Lydia has a quilting class
today and needs time to get things sewn up for that. I didn’t want to chance
getting any more allergic reactions so I asked Sis to help. Problem was, we
couldn’t find any more grapes! What we did see were tiny and won’t be ready for
a while, if at all. So, Lou doesn’t get any this year. I got Lydia off and
running to her class and relaxed and watched some of the Barrett-Jackson
auctions that are held this week in Vegas. The Dodgers played their second NLDS
game this evening but got beat. It’s tied right now 1-1. While Lydia was out, I
ate my leftover hamburgers and didn’t want dinner. So, she fixed something and
I eventually ate leftover rice. That was just enough. We watched tv and both of
us ended up going to bed early.
Saturday, Oct 5th, 2019…... This morning I was up early and,
after walking butthead, took off and got breakfast and coffee/tea. Penny had
brought Q over for her walk. We talked a bit about her front door screen. I had
installed one for her last year that didn’t survive so much. It failed at the
joints and the one side has sagged so much it’s painful to look at! She had
decided long ago to replace it and I was happy to help. That day was today! We
headed off to Lowe’s/Home Depot to shop for one. She wants a security-type door
with a window/screen for air. We didn’t find anything at Lowes but they had
what she liked at Home Depot. Problem was the specific one she wanted with the
handle/latch she liked was not in stock and had to be ordered. She placed the
order so now we have approx. two weeks to wait to get that going. Oh yeah, she
took some pics of the planter that I made.
I came
back home and found Lydia was gone. She had left me a text that I missed that
she was going to Urgent Care to have her sore foot looked at. It’s been swollen
and sore for a week now and it is time to have it checked out. Since it was
Saturday, there was a good crowd in there ahead of her so the wait was long.
She got in and they x-rayed it and didn’t find anything broken. Simple sprain. They
told her to stay off of it for several days.
Later, we called
and then met my sister for dinner at Bigfoot Grill. They now serve a pretty
full menu and we wanted to try their steaks. I had top sirloin, Lydia had filet
mignon, and Penny had ribeye. They were all good. They don’t do baked potatoes
(yet) but they do cut/roasted potatoes, which I thought were excellent! Pricey but we will order from there again.
Sunday, Oct 6th, 2019…... Slept in this morning. Lydia took some valium
some time during the night. She rarely uses anything other than Tylenol but she
needed some assistance to sleep. So, she was relaxed and we both slept in which
was kind of nice. I walked Rylee and when I got back, she had out stuff for
pancakes and sausage. We enjoyed a nice breakfast and once I got everything cleaned
up, were pretty much done for the day. I put on my sweat shorts and never left
the house. We just kicked back and enjoyed the relaxing day. Sis came by and
dropped off Quincy. Her friends, Luzmila and Jerith are flying in today so she
wanted a night or two without the dog in the house. No problem – Q loves it here
at her second home! Later in the afternoon, Chuck brought his tractor over and
cut the west 40 field down. He had some time today so he wanted to get it done
while the weather was nice. I think we are good now for the winter season for
that field. I still will need to mow the yard and the back field a few more
times since it’s green and growing with the rains we’ve had. That will soon change…
Lydia
fixed tilapia and potatoes and veggie medley and we had a nice meal and watched
our programs until bedtime.
