Today was a resplendent day. I woke up slowly with Dalyhlia sleeping next to my stomach and Baby sleeping behind me with her head on hubby's pillow. She likes to jump up there to sleep when he gets out of bed. I noticed my phone was gone and I wondered where it went. So I got up and looked all around and couldn't find it. I did find the charger cord stretched all the way out which was unusual, as when I disconnect the phone, I put it back in the corner between the nightstand and the bed. If it's stretched out, I'm afraid that Baby or Cookie will chew the cord in two again.
I ate some yogurt and waited for hubby to call me so I could hear where the phone was, but then I thought that since I don't remember hubby leaving this morning, maybe I was sleepwalking again and took my phone off the charger and hid it. I've done that in the past, not with the phone but with other things. So I got dressed and went across the street to Janice's house and explained the situation. Then I asked her to call me for 10 minutes while I went through the house and located the phone.
She did and it was in the bedroom, on the floor behind the fan. I answered it and thanked her. Then I realized that one of the dogs must have gotten caught in the cord and pulled the phone down and off the charger, that's why the cord was stretched out and the phone was on the floor. Silly dog!
I was dressed but I stayed up in the bedroom watching tv and reading until hubby called and said he had left at 6 this morning and gotten to Denver early and was done now. He was almost back to the Springs and did I want lunch since he was stopping at Culver's. I got a Butterburger and a large pepsi. Yum! I was only able to eat half of it but that filled me up. Then I talked to him about getting my nails done again, costing $25, $30 with tip and he thought that was a fine idea. We really can't afford for me to do this extra bit but it does make me feel so good about myself and it lasts until they remove it. Doesn't chip or wear ans I wasn't sure how they took it off. As your nails grow out, it needs to be filled in.
I dropped hubby off at work and went to get my nails done. What they do is take a dremel looking thing and shave the gel polish off mostly, then soak your nails in some chemical and then scrape the rest of it off. Can't be really good for your nails but it sure looks great when they reapply it.
After I was done, I went over to Hancock Fabrics and got an iron on patch so I can fix the sheet the dogs ripped when they were digging on the mattress. That's why we don't let them upstairs anymore until we are up there with them! I also looked at the sale they were having on the dress form dummies. They didn't have one in my size, I would have to go online to order one, but they are on sale for $100, which is a great price! I'm considering it for my birthday instead of getting my bike fixed. So I'm going to think about it.
On my way back to pick hubby up, I stopped at Rescued Hearts, the dog rescue supporting thrift shop that takes the money it makes from selling and turns them into $500 grants for dog rescue organizations. I got a book and two shirts.
Then I drove back to the school and arrived just after hubby, being the boss, had balled out a work study for having his wife hanging around waiting for him. Oops! I was there 45 minutes before he was due to get off and had planned on just hanging out reading in the back corner, out of the way.
He got done and it was still early so we went to Costco and I got a piece of pizza and a berry smoothie. Then we picked up dry dog food, dry cat food and a few other things. $120! Oh well, this is a monthly expense. Then we went home.
Around 7pm, I started to cook dinner. Earlier in the day I had told hubby what I was making and he pointed out that he hated boiled potatoes and started telling me how to cook tonight's dinner. I wasn't happy. He didn't like that I was going to use fresh potatoes and wanted me to get canned. Later, he apologized and said he was tired. I sliced the potatoes thin then fried them up until they were cooked, added thin sliced polish sausage and a can of green beans. Hubby and Frank liked it so much they ate the whole thing.
A little bit later, when hubby went to take out the trash, he opened the front screen door and surprised the skunk who was on the porch eating the dried cat food. Unfortunately I had moved the cat dishes to the side where the door opens so when the skunk got startled, it sprayed in the open door and got the screen door, the front door and hubby's leg. Lucky for us, we know that Dawn dishwashing detergent will take off the oily skunk spray, from dogs, door and people. So we got some and washed everything down, including hubby. Then we put up a fan to get the smell out of the house and by now, everything is fine.
It has caused some tension with the dogs and Cookie and Kira got into a big fight. Hubby got bit twice but it didn't break the skin.
Tomorrow, hubby has to go into work to finish up the book list and the reports for the inventory he did today in Denver and in the Springs. We already made our Costco run so we will be able to relax and just go to church and the library on Sunday.
