Today was a therapy day. I remembered late last night to wake hubby up and ask him to set the alarm for 9am because I had therapy today at 10am. As it was, I woke up with the alarm but laid there for a few minutes contemplating my naval. Then I got up and let the dogs out. While they were out, just Baby and Kira as Cookie sleeps until 10am, if you let her. I got my cola and yogurt. Last time I went shopping to buy yogurt, I only bought 4 peach and 6 cherry. Now I wish I got all cherry. So I let Baby back in and go back upstairs to bed. Hubby was lying there, eyes closed but not asleep. He handed me the tv remote and I turned on the tv to the ION channel. Some type of cop show was on, as it always is with that channel, except on weekends when it shows Christmas movies, like Lifetime. And they have a show they produced for their channel, Saving Hope. I've caught it a few times and it's pretty good.
I got to therapy a couple of minutes late as I put off leaving until the last possible moment. Hubby was feeding all the animals while I was gone, so I was just lingering. Steve and I talked about what I've done this week and my resentment of Frank bringing in bedbugs to the house. I told him, Steve, not Frank, that I'm trying to stop blaming Frank and just get on with getting rid of them. I showed him a picture of the Christmas tree we had put up. And we talked about my new role of doing housework a lot every day now. And I told him that I think God gave me bedbugs to teach me to do housework, and have an uncluttered house. And to get rid of stuff.
When I got home, hubby was up and dressed. He was feeding animals then we went to Wendy's got get our free lunch. Earlier in the week, last week, he had picked up an order from Wendy's and when he got home, we found out that they had done the order wrong. Well, if you call the manager and tell them who you are and what was wrong and are polite, they will put your name down in their books and give you the same order free next time you come in, so we got free lunch!
We went to the bank to deposit some money in so the tax check wouldn't bounce and then onto Lowe's. We were looking for the little dishes you put under your bed legs to stop bedbugs from crawling up the legs and getting into bed with you. They didn't have any there but we did find they had a fogger and a spray for bedbugs. We have to wait until we get paid on the 15th, then we can go and buy the fogger. Each container has three canisters in it and I think we need two boxes of them to do the whole house. It says on the box to repeat in 4 weeks. So in the meantime, we have to make arrangements with my parents to come get the birds and two of the cats, Dalyhlia and Tommy, to take to their house for two days. The cats can come back the next day, the fogger says it takes two hours to work, then you have to air out the house for two hours before coming back in and staying it. And if you can still smell it, stay out longer. But birds are sensitive so I don't want to take a chance on bringing them back for two to three days.
I have been taking Inry out of the cage every day. Christmas, the new cockatiel,is refusing to come out or even step up. So I'm trying to take it slow with her. I'm going to do some internet research on the best way to tame the birds and try. I really love taking Inry out and having him ride around on my shoulder or sit on my computer while the rattie boys are put away.
Inry has enjoyed being out too. He gets excited when I come over to the cage. He steps up right away and gives a little hop from my fingers to my shoulder when I lift him up. When he starts flying offmy shoulder, like if the dog starts barking a lot or something startles him, I will put him back up on my shoulder, but if he keeps doing it, I put him back in the cage. The dogs and cats have been interested in seeing him when he flies off, and crowd around him but the only time he lost any feathers was when Baby stepped on his tail, and he lost 4 tail feathers! I would like to cut his flight feathers but he is being so social right now, don't want to scare him by wrapping him in a towel and doing it.
We went to Walmart to see if they had the bed leg containers but they didn't. They didn't even have the foggers and spray. So we picked up a couple of things and left. We worked our way over to the Dollar Store so I could pick up some garland. When I walked in I saw the hanging garland, 9 feet for $1, but I was looking for the packaged stuff. It's thin but cheaper, 50 feet for $1. I got two packs of green, red, gold, and silver. I also got some Christmas cards - a box of 16 for $1, and a little perfume and lotion set for $1. I got that last one for me to use as a stocking stuffer.
When we got home, I finished putting ornaments on the tree, the ones mom and dad gave us, and 58 miniature candy canes striped in red and green. I also put the felt tree skirt under the tree. It's red with white reindeer around the border. I got that at the Dollar store too.
I did some more laundry, hubby made chili with stewing beef for dinner, and we are headed up to watch tv. Not much on tv tonight, so we will figure out a movie or something to watch. We will be watching The Daily Show to see John Stewart back on it as a guest.
Tomorrow I'm planning on doing laundry and doing the applesauce and cinnamon ornaments. I plan on making a few batches of them so I can give them out for gifts.
