Mindless Chatter, Thurzday

Why was I awake at 5:20 this morning? AND, up and moving! Groan!

I fell asleep on the couch and I think the dogs were wearing a path in the floors moving between the bedroom and livingroom to keep track of me and make sure I hadn't escaped or something. Supposedly sticking their noses right in my face was to check on my condition (dead or alive) but I think they were wanting to wake me up to go to bed. They woke me up all right, but too late to go to bed.

It is pouring here. Rained yesterday really hard too. But, today I'm noticing the downspout out the dining room window and it looks like a faucet running wide open. I bet Corky's pool is almost full. I emptied it yesterday, and yep, just went out and looked, and by golly, Mother Nature has already filled it half full. And it's a BIG pool and at least a foot deep.

Sigh, I guess when there is a break in the action I'll get out there and finish up the RV while it's pleasantly cool. Heck of a time of the day to be cleaning, but.....

Ok tired again! Must be something in the air.

Today at work we have our employee appreciation luncheon. It will be nice to get OUT!!! Where I work you can't really go out for lunch. You do not dare move your car because you will not be able to park upon return. You can take a bus but you have to figure more than an hour for lunch doing that, and there are no "outside" restaurants to walk to. So we eat at the cafeteria or bring our lunches. I only allow a half hour to shorten up my day. So after a while you feel like a prisoner to the office. It will be nice to go out and have a great lunch paid for by someone else!!!

Very frustrated with my riding right now. Not sure what to do so that frustrates me even more. I hate catch 22 situations. sigh! My horse is wonderful, it is all me.

Ready for summer, it can warm up here any time now..

Oh one more thing

GO RED WINGS!!!!!!! Game 4 tonight.

Was out yesterday, had to go to Ann Arbor for a meeting with my son and his counselor. Things went well. I didn't get caught in too much construction on the trip, weather was nice, we did a little shopping (I hit some incredible clearances at Kohls - got $200 worth of stuff for $52.00. Can anybody say SCORE?), and then we had lunch/dinner at BDs Mongolian Barbecue (my first time).

The mountain of mail I came back to isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Hope Sassy's doing even better today.

Me too!

I'm off to get some invoices entered, I hate doing it and put if off too long, until I can't put it off any longer.

Well the eye doc put me on steriods for my bloody eye. Still can't figure out why the blood vessels burst, but my blood pressue is fine so who knows ... I seriously hate being on steriods - every time I have to take them I have THE most violent nightmares, that I'm almost afraid to go to sleep at night !!

Deb, fingers crossed that you won't have nightmares this time!

I couldn't sleep last night, so I cleaned the house. I dusted, swept, mopped, ironed all of the clothes that were waiting to be ironed, & cleaned the bathrooms. I finally went to bed at around 4 this morning. Then I woke back up at 5:15. I have a feeling that it's going to be a long day.

Correction. We're having steak tonight. I thought I set out the chicken but apparently I grabbed the steaks.

Yum - I couldn't make a good dumpling if my life depended on it. Mine are like lead balloons - I can never get them light and airy like some I've had.

Ick!

Supper is at 5-6pm.

As for the dumplings I cheat. I get canned biscuits, cut the biscuits into 4 pieces each, and throw them into a boiling pot of chicken broth. After i get all my dumpings in the pot and all of them are floating on top I transfer everything into a crockpot afterwards. Easy! I only make chicken and dumplings when JJ dont have to work and he eats on them all night long.

We had some serious thunder storms last night. We never get storms like that and it was really spectacular. Only problem was that it started about midnight and lasted a couple hours. I couldn't sleep because the thunder claps were so loud. Sassy wasn't super nervous but she did want to sleep right against my leg.

I noticed that she was licking her front foot a little last night and then a lot this morning. I don't know what that's about but I gave her an extra benadryl.

I have an all day board meeting/retreat today. Should be a real snoozer Sleep

Wasn't that thunder something? I heard the lightening was spectacular too, but I didn't go outside to look at it. We don't usually get thunder/lightening in the valley. Last night was the second night in a row that I was jarred awake by pounding rain sloshing in the patio. Even Max was a little weirded out and noise usually doesn't bother him. He can sleep through fireworks a couple of blocks away. Last night he hopped off the bed and got on the floor on the side farthest from the window and just sat there, wide awake. This is a dog who could happily sleep 23 hours out of 24, so for him to be sitting up awake is just strange. Maybe dogs notice differences in air pressure or something during storms.

Is that the foot with the nail they quicked at the Vet? And please don't talk about snoozing when I just finished lunch. yawn

I saw on the news this morning where you Cali folks had fires started from those storms last night. It's ironic, you need rain but the storms start fires. We had two houses here hit by lightning in the past few days.
