Sunday April 30, 2023

 Andy’s new schedule has started.  He was home today and will be tomorrow.  I believe he is on call though (tomorrow).  It will be an adjustment I am sure.  He piddled around the house.  He cleaned the gutters and mowed.  He ended up getting hailed on half way through haha!  I went to Plainfield to JCPenney to take my dress back.  I tried on a few new ones but didn’t like any of them. I went into Five Below and found a few pairs of shoes.  One was water shoes.  The last time I was at the beach I had to wear his mom’s and they were huge so for 5 bucks these will do.  Andy’s parents got back to their house in Lawrenceville today.  They will be here next Sunday and Monday. I got a butt dial from the grandchild.  I don’t think he knew he called.  I never heard his voice just sat there and then hung up. Dad called and he said his calendar was incorrect.  He claims there is no April 30th on it.  I will have to look at it when get down there.  It could be a glitch of some sort hard to tell.

 Went down to dad’s house.  He was in good spirits and looked good.  He was all about showing me the tree stump he said the blue birds (that he loves) are coming out of haha.  He just loves talking about blue birds.  Andy helped him with the roof on the big barn.  The metal got bent over or something like that.  It started storming around 5pm when we were leaving of course.  He was talking about how Grandma was mean to his dad and mean in general.  He said they told him she had 3 personalities and claims he had heard her on multiple occasions speaking in a different voice like a man.  I never heard her do that but he knew her way better than I did.  He grew up with her I just knew her as a grandma so that is two different worlds.  I believe him.

He got this wind chime just because of the blue birds on the top :). It is pretty big.  

Saw this big rainbow on the way back home.  The pic doesn’t do it justice.  

Andy looks snazzy in his new digs… 

 Lane sent me a pic looks like he is door dashing.  I told him to be careful they kill people around these parts for pizza.  

Bub received another good review :) Needs improvement with “socializing” which makes sense ;)

 The husband didn’t want to get up today.  Was around 2pm and more before I could get him up and going… tired.  Made dad some food to bring down tomorrow.  Tried out a Tik Tok recipe.  Mine didn’t puff up as much as hers but I used a Meijer puff pastry and it was a lot thinner.  I would not do the cuts next time and try to divot the cream cheese more to put the filling as it spread.   I will try the other next time… still tasted good though.  Added some powder sugar after…Dress from JC Penny will be going back- did not like.

Thursday April 27, 2023

 Been cleaning all day.  Got a wild hair and decided to clean the oven which have no clue why I thought that was a good idea.  Andy got the power washer out to get the stuck on areas.  Andy ended up having to go out to work a node so stuck here still working on the house lol.  Dad is getting spammer calls.  I would love to get ahold of people like that.

 Took the cat to get groomed this morning.  She ended up peeing all over the place which is not abnormal for her.  Stepped on a poor baby birdie!!! Still upset about it… I believe it was already dead but still ugh :(….. Dad said he saw a hummer.  I made some fresh food to put out.  I am hoping to see them here soon.  I ran to JC Penney for a few today but didn’t find anything.  I did see they had some curtains for sale.  They are blasted expensive there for what I was looking for… I did buy a second option dress online there.  They only had large left - no mediums which is what I normally wear so I will probably be sending it back.  Sue had sent me a pic of it which was surprising.  

Tuesday April 25, 2023

 Went to get my hair done in Plainfield- just root touch up and trim.  Talked to Lane a little.  He was telling me they are trying to go to Hawaii in July sometime.  Andy got his Amazon “garbage” clothing today and it will be going right back tomorrow.  The pants were black not navy and the “so called” blazer looked as cheap and knock off as they come.  Have to take the cat tomorrow morning to the groomer eeek… She will not be liking that.

Monday April 24, 2023

 Andy went around spraying for dandelions after he got home today.  A dude from Culligan called “finally”… after I called corporate.  He is going to come next week to check the water “and go over options”.  Dad called a few times.  He said he struggles from time to time with highs and lows. I told him that is very normal and good that he at least realizes it.  Andy was able to get the stain out in the front office.  It looks a lot better.  Found a few coffee’s at Meijer in the clearance section.  I have zero expectation but figured would try them.

Sunday April 23, 2023

 Andy stayed home today.  He decided to cut up more of the log.  The neighbors came and grabbed it for seats.  Scarlett sent me a pic of bub yesterday.  He is too cute.  Went out front to pick weeds.  I wore gloves but still ended up with my hands itching.  Had Taco Bell for dinner… it was ok but nothing amazing.  Went through papers- which I hate.  Trying to figure out what Andy is going to wear to the wedding still.  We will probably just get a nice jacket and I told him I don’t even care if he wears jeans ;)…. 

Saturday April 22, 2023

 Went down to dad’s today.  He was in good spirits.  We watched Turkeys in the back.  They are really majestic looking.  Kind of also reminds me of the husband getting out of the shower though as well hahahah… Brought him some White Castles. He made a little area for mom on his own :)

Friday April 21, 2023

 Went to Plainfield with Andrew to Aldi and target but didn’t find much of anything. I had to take a shirt back. Tried out pumpkin donut hole recipe and ir sucked. Went to kohls and jc penny to try and find andy something to wear for the wedding but ended up with nothing - will have to brain storm something. His mom is going to bring up a foam topper to try on the bed but it is only 2 inches this bed probably needs about 20

 Dog stayed out later than I had thought he would want to today but finally was wanting to go in a few times.  He is still not wanting to eat much.  I might have to contact the vet and see if they want him to up the dose to 2 a day or suggest anything else.  I am not sure if it is the heat or just not wanting to eat.  He is acting ok other than that. Talked to Lane this morning he was doing good.  He was asking when we were thinking of coming out but I really don’t know that yet. Dad gave me two rose bush starts last year.  One has some growth but the other I don’t think made it.  I haven’t seen any growth what so ever. Talked to dad and he said he went to Tractor Supply and got a new wind chime with blue birds on it and a couple tomato plants. He really likes blue birds.  

Stormie likes to sleep next to the door which is cute when they both are… :)

Wednesday April, 19, 2023

 Sat out with the dog.  He got too hot so had to put him in.  The cat was being her usual hooker self.  I need to get her groomed but don’t like taking her anywhere.  

Tuesday April 18, 2023

 Just hanging out with the animals today.  Dad had a dentist apt.  He said they are working on concord road so they have it all blocked off but he was able to get through.  Andy was going to mow when he got home but decided to try for tomorrow.  

Monday April. 17, 2023

 Called dad’s dentist - he has an apt tomorrow.  I emailed them his current card use in case. Fell asleep with the cat somehow today.  That is not a norm.  Talked to dad a couple times.  He called at the shoot and after.  As I was speaking to him this evening I heard a drawer open in the bedroom.  I high tale it in there and the husband is in the doorway of the bathroom with his woobie on.  I basically put my hand in the front pocket and lo and behold there was candy in it… hmmm shocking.  

Sunday April 16, 2023

 Didn’t do much today but the same crap on a Sunday.  Andy is on call.  His mouth is doing a little better today thankfully.  Started on Andy’s breakfast and lunch for the week.  My ankle is starting to act up again so I will probably have to put my big azz boot back on which I don’t want to do.  Talked to Lane and he said “they” were going to the movies and he was trying to sell his gaming laptop “because he spends “way” too much time gaming and not up on his responsibilities”…. So………. Will leave that “at that” ;)

Saturday April 15, 2023

 Went down to dad’s today.  He was in a really good mood which was good.  We went over to a flower nursery or whatever they are called.  He was hell bent on buying me a flower.  It was really nice out- 80 degrees.  I am glad we kept the dog up because when we got back the neighbors had a lot of company outside.  It was also too hot for him.  Lane msg and said he was taking some real estate classes.  I think he would be good at that so hopefully that will work out for him.  

Friday Apr. 14, 2023

 Andy had a dentist apt today and was not happy lol.  He is doing ok but having a hard time eating (as expected).  I ran to Target while he was there.  I also might have made a run to Crumbl ;)…. I decided to make dad some diy Arby’s beef and cheddars (via instagram recipe) and some peach cobbler.  They both turned out pretty good.  

Thursday Apr. 13, 2023

 Put my hummer feeders out even though they do not appear to be around just yet.  The birdies were out in full force.  Saw a cute pic on Lane’s story of bub.  The cat has been watching them all day ha.  Andy has an early dentist apt tomorrow.  I will probably venture over to Target …

Wednesday Apr. 12, 2023

 Finally got the Easter eggs taken down from the trees in the front yard.  The neighbors were out mowing so on and so forth.  Zorro finally ate his food today. It appears the apoquel and his allergies must really mess with his appetite.  The front tree is budding out.  Sue sent me a few pics of some Shawls.  

Tuesday Apr. 11, 2023

 We went to pay on our taxes / sign and forgot the check ha!  I ended up going back over to that area to the post office for a “joke” of a “job fair” and that was a bust.  Scarlett sent a few videos of bub playing baseball :) I attempted a walk but that was cut short.  I ended up back on the treadmill but that was fine.  I sat out with the dog a bit and looked in the door and the cat was sleeping by it.  

Monday April 10, 2023

 Culligan came this morning to replace the filters.  Went to Menards and Walmart.  I had to take something back at Menards.  I found some 50% off Candy.  I got a wild hair to walk around the house.  I ended up doing it a lot longer than I had anticipated.  It felt like FOREVER.  I thought I would have burned way more calories than I did but it was still decent. Julian FaceTimed this evening.  He is something else.  I asked him if he liked his cookies and he was like “Yes, mom said “of course they have dyes in them”… hahahahaha… She ended up msg me saying “I heard Julian tell you about the dyes but that was just frustration about how companies put them in everything not about the cookies”… hehe… 

Sunday April. 9, 2023

 Easter and Luke’s birthday today.  Didn’t do much but regular Sunday things.  Andy went into work even though I told him to take it off haha.  Dad thought Dish would be out today because I accidentally wrote it on the wrong day… eeek.  They will be out tomorrow.  Bub liked his Pig.  I am hoping his card comes tomorrow or sometime this week :(… 

Saturday April 8, 2023

 Been a day… picked up limbs and andy was out in the creek trying to get the water to flow. Everything seems to have been going to crap. Julian didn’t receive his card in the mail so hoping someone didn’t steal it at the post office or who knows. The edible arrangement came and she said that was good so that is a plus. Told dad he could come up if gets too bored with no tv. The neighbors grabbed some wood to make a few seats for around their fire pit.

Friday April 7, 2023

Went down to dads today. Got there at 1pm and left around 6:30pm. Andy went back in forth into town and elletsville to help him get some parts for the tractor. He was in good spirits and laughing. I called dish network to get a service call but they can’t get out there until Monday which sucks. Richard’s dog came over and pestered me haha. Dad got me some ice cream from elletsville- yum 🤤
