Today was a reading day. Hubby had to get up at 530am so that he could leave and drive to Denver at 6. Today was the last day of the Denver Symposium and he was working up there until the early afternoon. I woke up and kissed him goodbye, then rolled over and went back to sleep until about 10. Then I got up, ate some yogurt and started reading the book Holding the Undead. Interesting. It was published in 2005 and then translated from Swedish into English in 2009. Hubby had bought it the other day and was reading the other book he bought, so I started reading this one. It had a different view on the undead. They weren't Zombies that had come back to life all over the world to consume the flesh of the living. The story paralleled several families that only had the "reliving" in common. I finished the book today and it didn't end like I thought it was going to and yet it did.
I eventually got up and got dressed in my new summer clothes and was very happy to see the size 16 shorts I bought were loose, showing I had lost weight. Then I went downstairs and fed the dogs, the rattie boys, the birds and the fish. I was sitting down at the computer when hubby called. He was stuck in traffic in Castle Rock and would call when he got to the school. I was to take Frank and meet him at the school so we could help unload the truck. We were going to turn the truck in today.
About 45 minutes later, hubby called, he was getting off at the highway exit for the school and I told him we were on our way. I grabbed Frank, who was cleaning the downstairs bathroom, and we left. When we arrived at the school, Frank helped hubby unload the truck and then we drove over to put gas in it and I met them at UHaul.
We were hungry so we went to Taco Bell and I got the same thing I had a couple of days ago, a bean burrito, a cheese quesadilla and a small Pepsi. Hubby and Frank each got food and we sat down to eat. It was pleasant conversation and happy tummies all around.
Then we went home and hubby and I went upstairs. I kept reading my book until I was finished while hubby took a nap for a couple of hours. It was nice to watch him sleep. He looks so peaceful and relaxed.
When he woke up it was time to feed the beasties again. I measured out the dog food and fed the rats. He fed the cats. Then we each ate our leftovers from Yakatori's and he went to his office to smoke a little and visit with Frank, and I went into my craft room to commune with the rattie boys, give them some free range time out of the cage on the craft room table and get on the computer.
We put more dried cat food out on the stoop for the stray cat, along with a bowl of water, and hoped that later the skunk in the neighborhood would also come back so we can watch it. There is a mama skunk with 7 babies in the neighborhood that has been seen going into our backyard. The skunk we saw last night was a young one but not that young. It was on it's own and eating the food. We watched it for a few minutes until the dogs came along , smelled the animal and started barking and scared it off. We closed the front windows just in case it sprayed the area.
Tomorrow we will be going to Church and then, when it is over, calling my parents to tell them we are on our way over. We are going to pick them up and take them out to lunch. I would like to go back to Yakatoi's but we will see if hubby wants to go someplace else.
