Let's think about the last couple of days, yeah, we rang in a new year... but I don't think I've stopped since I left work at 12 Noon on Thursday, New Year's Eve...
I had to popped in to the grocery store for 2 things for dinner, it was already half nuts at 1 PM on Thursday. Got in, got out, and raced home to Shelby. She was right where we left her... not terribly surprising considering her latest issues...
Got her outside, she did her thing, she came in and was still pretty loopy. Now its Saturday, she's eaten well, taken her meds, and has gone outside, she's moving around outside, we did a little moving around in terms of therapy today, she doesn't like that much. But we'll need to keep doing it. It's one thing I've learned, listen to the doctors.
I have also learned that my darling husband does not have an ounce of compassion or patience for anyone. Shelby needs time and patience, my husband, has none of these. And I wonder why I do it all. Frankly it's easier.
So, Thursday, I get home, make dip and stuff mushrooms, I have a guy coming for a carpet cleaning estimate. I desperately needed nap, I slept downstairs with the dog her first night home just in case something happened. It did, I overslept. I hate when I do that, never starts a day well.
Any way... After the carpet estimate guy came and went, I got a half a nap, because my idiot husband decided that while I was napping on the couch was the perfect time to try and talk to me...
I made it past midnight, and had a nice ringing in the new year, with friends and neighbors.
Friday, New Year's Day; I spent the entire day cooking, cleaning and generally getting things ready to host dinner with more friends. What a blessing it is to have such abundances. I love hosting. I hate cleanup.
Nice dinner, good friends, went to bed and died.
Bubba got up to go play all day with friends, woke me out of a dead sleep. Been up ever since,even though it was my plan to go back to sleep. Instead I laid around for about 90 minutes, then got showered, finished cleaning up then in a fit of I-don't-know-what I cleaned off my kitchen table, I cleaned the top of my fridge! unloaded the dishwasher put all the dishes away and got things washed.
Then carpet cleaning guy number 2 showed up, offered me a great deal, I took it and got the carpets cleaned today. Which also means that I had to bust my hump and get things all picked up off the floor, including the dog. For the first time in her 14 years in this house she's on couch. Things are covered, couch-wise so we're good. I can just imagine what my darling husband is going to say when he gets home.
Surprisingly he's said nothing. He's home from the gun show and seems to be in a pretty good mood. Let's not tempt the fates shall we? The neighbors are coming over for another rousing game of Power Grid. Should be fun.
On another side, I put up a GoFundMe site, Bubba had an absolute meltdown. I took it down, refunded the two donations we got. In my defense he complained about the cost when he left with Shelby Tuesday morning; I thought maybe that might work. All it has got me is yelled at.
We have the money for Shelby - he's just bitching about it.
In another fun note, I thought a burner was out on my stove - before I started cooking New Year's dinner... its not. Something came loose - Bubba fixed it. I have mixed emotions about that. I really want a new stove, but I want the new kitchen to go with it. That is a few years away. The savings account has definitely had a few hits.
Signing off to get ready for leftover dinner and power grid!
