Today was an introspective day. I woke up wondering if today was the day that my next door teenage neighbor, Rose, was going to come back and show up on my door step at 9am to help me walk the dogs or if they really did move away. They moved away because no Rose at 9. I thought about getting up and walking the two dogs first then walking the big one after but it was too hard to think about and I wasn't sure I could walk that much so I tried to go back to sleep. But I couldn't, so I started to read. I decided I would take it easy and stay up in the bedroom and finish my book today. It was an easy story and I knew it would only take me a couple of hours. Hubby was still sleeping as he didn't have to get up until 10 since he wasn't going into work until 11.
I spent the morning reading and watching The Price is Right. It was fun. Then I went downstairs and fed all the animals after I got dressed. It was a warm day and I was going to walk on the treadmill but it was too warm and I knew if I was going to do that, I would have to do it around 9 in the morning.
I spent the rest of the afternoon finishing Cassie's cowl scarf for her mother-in-law, Becky. It was a little narrower than I would have liked but I ran out of yarn and it will loosen up once it is washed. I will have hubby take a picture of me in it tonight and then have him send it out to Cassie in the morning.
When I was done with that, I started watching the series of Life on Death Row that I have been following on YouTube about Women on Death Row. I have been watching the episodes for a couple of days now and it is pretty interesting. There are a couple of women that still cry and say they are innocent and don't deserve to be in prison, let alone on death row but most are accepting. They interviewed a lot of women that were granted new trials and got their sentences commuted to life in prison. A few have come up for parole but haven't been granted that. A lot have been given life without the possibility of parole. One woman in particular says that she did do the crime but the people she took with her to kill this girl should get an equal sentencing and she didn't deserve to die for it. The other people sentenced got life without parole so why should she be the one that dies? It was interesting the way these women seemed to have stopped aging mentally past the age they went in prison at.
I was going to make Cheeseburger Rolls for dinner tonight using the canned biscuits I bought at the store last week but when we got up this morning, two of the cans had popped open and spewed their dough all over the fridge! That meant there wasn't enough biscuits to make enough rolls, so hubby asked if we couldn't just make hamburgers for dinner tonight. I told him sure, he would just need to stop at the store and pick up hamburger buns on the way home. So he did.
I was sitting at the craft table watching the computer when the rattie boys woke up and came out of their cage. Dylan came over behind the computer and found my bowl of cherries and pits I had discarded. He looked around, reached in, and took one of the pits in his mouth and ran back to the cage as fast as he could go. He stashed the pit and came back and did it again. I watched him do this a few more times then saw him discover one of the whole cherries in the bowl. Boy howdy! Did he get excited! He opened his mouth up as wide as it would go and got one in his mouth, then carefully walked back to the cage. Then he came and got the other two cherries that were left in the bowl. He didn't leave the cage after that, too busy eating cherries!
When hubby and Frank got home, hubby cooked the hamburgers and fries, then we ate. We watched teacup pig videos while we ate. So funny! Saw them on YouTube. So much entertainment! Someday I would like to get a mini-pig but that will have to wait until one of the dogs dies off.
I got a call from Farmer's about fixing my car this afternoon and they told me that the amount to fix my car, approximately $1200, exceeds the value of the car so they were offering to pay us $1005.93 and we could buy the car back for $1, so they would give us $1004.93. I got his name and number and told him I would call him right back then called hubby. It was more than we expected them to pay us so though we weren't happy that the car wasn't going to get fixed, we were happy with the amount they were offering. So I called Rod back and told him we would accept the offer. The money will allow us to get 4 new tires for the car and get it aligned. We will live with the cosmetic damage. Then we will buy hubby two new pairs of pants and save the rest of the money as part of an emergency fund. Maybe. Maybe we will pay off some of the payday loans we owe. I don't know, we need to talk about it.
Tomorrow I have therapy in the morning and then I have to drive over to Judithmary's and take back her dress that I wore to the Red Hat Social on Saturday. Then I will be going down to the DMV and getting another copy of the title to the car to fax over to Farmer's so they will release the check.
