Today was a pissy day. I woke up early and let the dogs out and opened the back door. Then I went back to bed and read while hubby continued to sleep for a little bit. But then he woke up too and we talked about going walking with the dogs. He offered and this time I took him up on his offer. We both got dressed after his morning constitutional and got leashes on the dogs.
I let him walk Baby since she pulls the hardest and told him he had to walk out in front. Far enough in front that Cookie and Kira on the extended leash. We did pretty well but he kept stopping to point out yards that he liked or features he saw that we had also in our yard and the dogs kept getting tangles. Though I was getting pissy, I tried very hard to not let it show. I must have done a good job because he was still friendly by the time we got back home.
Then it was time for him to get ready for work and he went off to do that. I sat down at the craft table and let the rattie boys out to play while I got on the computer. That is pretty much where I stayed until hubby came home for lunch. By then I was tense and clenching my jaw. I'm just having a physical reaction to nothing in particular but was getting ansy sitting home. So when hubby suggested I take the car for the afternoon, at first I said no, then I changed my mind and drove him back to work.
I was going to go to Kum and Go and get a sweet tea and gas but instead I went straight to the $4 bookstore at Academy and Union. I noticed yesterday when I went to Chuck E Cheese that they had shelves of books outside 4 for $1, so I wanted to look.
I found 2 twenty five cent books then went inside and looked at the craft books, but didn't see anything I was interested. I asked the owner if they had a horror section and he showed me but asked what I was looking for. I told him mostly I wanted books with zombies, I was in a mood. He had 4 books about the undead and I took two of them. He gave me the two 25 cent books for free since I purchased other books. Score!
I didn't want to go home but wasn't sure where I wanted to go. I thought about having a rootbeer float, then thought about going to Village Inn for pie ala mode, then thought about going to McDonald's for an ice cream cone and a soda. That won out, was cheaper, and I could sit there and read as long as I wanted. So I headed over.
I spent an hour there reading short stories about zombies, ate a little bit of an m&m McFlurry and drank a Coke. At 7pm, I went home.
When I got home, our new phones from Republic Wireless were on the front stoop. I took the box in and opened it. There was no packing slip, just the phones, the cases, and the shock glass cover. Such a small box for $410! I put one of the phones together and turned it on, they came charged, and it went through a couple of questions then asked what wifi network and what the password was. That was hubby's department so I turned the phone back off until I could pick him up and bring him home.
I got dinner ready, a whole chicken with cut up potatoes. Spiced it all up with onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, salt and parsley. Covered it with aluminum foil and put it in the oven at 375 for an hour and a half. When it was done, I would nuke some green beans to go with it. Then I left to pick hubby up.
When we got home, dinner was still cooking, it would take until 910pm and I went and finished making the dinner menu and the grocery list. Then I went downstairs to talk to the guys to get their opinion on it, add stuff to the grocery list and then post it. Hubby got the phones set up and found out how to transfer my phone number and we set all that up. It will take a day or two for the transfer to take effect and I may not be able to text for a couple of days but I let Holly know so she will know I'm not ignoring her.
When dinner was ready, I fed the guys but was unable to eat cooked food myself so I had a peanut butter and peach jelly sandwich. I didn't finish it but I did drink a glass of milk with it. Yum! Though I am still feeling tense, I am almost ready to go up to the bedroom and watch some tv with hubby. We can even have a conversation or two. I hope I feeling better tomorrow.
