Today was a depressed day. I am still watching the neighbor's dogs, Deisel and Kodak, so I was up at 730am and went over to their house. I fed the squirrels and birds but I will have to wash out the water bowls for them. I haven't been filling the bowls, just letting them sit and they are crudy so tomorrow I am going to start taking them in one at a time and washing them out and filling them up. I did find out that I have to go over at 5 to clean up the dog poop as at 630, the sun is shining at an angle that makes it hard to see. And just as I was clean up the last of the poop, Deisel decides to add a little more. Since it was so fresh and a little runny, I decided to let it sit until tomorrow.
When I came home I tried to go back to sleep but it was on and off. My face felt so congested but my nose was still runny. When I went to sleep last night I couldn't breath out of my nose at all so I apologized to hubby in advance because I was going to be snoring last night. And in fact, he said he didn't sleep very good last night so I figured I had a lot to do with that. As much as I was congested, my nose was still runny and I kept having to blow it, or face having snot run down my face.
I finally got up and watched some Saving Grace on Netflix, still in my jammies. I stayed in my jammies until 4pm when hubby called and said he was going to Panda Express to pick up food for us. That was my clue to jump into the shower. While I was in the shower, hubby came home and brought the food. He had to work until 10 tonight so this was our main meal of the day.
I felt depressed all today. I forgot to take my morning medication so I started to get weepy and teary. That makes me think if I took my pills that morning and the answer today was no. So I took them at 4pm but that leaves me still depressed. It takes a day to get back into feeling good again. I did take Deisel and Kodak for a walk by myself today and it felt good. My feet didn't hurt this time but my legs did. It's always something.
After I fed and watered the dogs, I spent a little time with them. Deisel has me worried because he isn't eating much so I am feeding him canned food. I left the rest of the food for him to eat or Kodak to eat. Tomorrow I will start feeding him half a can of dog food and half the amount dry food to see if he will eat all of it. The owners haven't called me back again so I am not going to contact them. He is still eating some, still getting excited about walking and still moving around so I'm not too worried. I will just adjust his food to make sure he is eating every meal, once in the morning and once in the evening. In the evening, I will take the rest of the food and bring it back with me to throw it out. Maybe he doesn't like the new food that much. Just before they left, the owners had switched the dry dog food. They went through a whole bag of it but maybe he has decided he doesn't like it. I gave him over half a can of wet dog food and he ate most of that. What he didn't eat was the little bit of canned food that was in around the dry food. I know my dogs will actually spit out the dry food while eating the canned food, silly dogs!
Tomorrow I am going to get my jello molds out of the trunk of the car and hang them in the kitchen. Even if I can't paint right now, I should start making the house more of a home. I know I really need to vacuum as I know all the pet hair is not helping me with this congestion and runny nose.
I will have to make an effort to take my pills when I come home from taking care of Deisel and Kodak in the morning. And I will have to stay up when I get back then just take a nap later in the day if I am tired. Tomorrow in Inventory for hubby so he will have to go in at 9am and work until 6pm or later. He has been trying to get about 4 hours of overtime in each week so we can keep his paycheck up over $1000. It really helps us and with us having to start paying taxes we own, $3200 for federal and $1250 to Colorado State. So after this month, we will be on a tight budget. We will have 2 payday loans to start paying off. This month, May, we will be taking out two more payday loans to pay off these payday loans, floating them until next month when we will start paying them off. We have the wedding, Cassie and Drew's wedding, to attend and the mini-honeymoon. Tomorrow when we get paid, I will reserve the room and get the visa gift card with the $250 or $200 for the food. while they are staying there. My cousin, Coleen, sent me a check for $50 towards the mini-honeymoon and Aunt Gale said she is sending a check too. I have to message her and let her know I haven't gotten anything from her yet in case she sent it and it didn't arrive. I also have to talk to my parents, they are giving us $100 towards the mini-honeymoon.
In addition to the mini-honeymoon, I have a blender with a travel cup, a set of books from my favorite website on frugality and organization, the bonus material that came with ordering the set of the books that hubby printed out and is putting in a 3 ring binder, and something I have had for the past three year, just waiting for Cassie to get married, a brand new family bible in a leather cover with pages to track parents, births, deaths and marriages. Cassie isn't religious but I think she will like all the presents.
Cass also brought me yarn to make her soon to be mother in law two cowl scarves but there isn't enough yarn to make both. Each of the skeins will have to be supplemented with another set of yarn. I am working on a prayer shawl for my church. I have missed both meeting this month so I will definately be there next month.
