Even tho' I have been going to bed at a decent hour lately (figuring I will wake up after a few hours and be able to write my blog before I go back to sleep), the damn dog has been waking me up about every two hours...sometimes less. I swear, sometimes it's not because he wants to go out to pee or anything but just to bark at things only HE can hear! The result is that I feel twice as tired as I did when I went to bed originally. Sheesh!
I found out yesterday that the Beast isn't going to be home until late Tuesday. By late, I mean probably around 6:30pm or so. He and his sister are going up to see Auntie M today after they get out of the big meeting in Atlanta. It's only about a four hour trip or so from Atlanta to where they live in NC so they will get there kind of late. But they plan on spending the day on Monday just visiting. Who knows whether or not this may be their last chance to visit with her. At her age, she could go at any time. Especially since her health has taken a turn for the worse. Since Bonnie is this close, they figured they might as well make the trip.
The Beast has to have Bonnie at the Huntsville airport by around 4:30pm on Tuesday for her flight back to Chicago and he will be about a two hour trip from home (with his usual stop at Publix included) after he drops her off. I can tell you this much....the Beast will be WEEKS recuperating from this whole adventure according to what he told me about all the walking they had to do to the train station from the Dome to get back to the hotel. The trip today will be just to pick up the car since they had to check out before leaving for the Dome. But the traffic will be a nightmare with all the people that will be heading out of town from there. Even at it's best, the traffic in Atlanta is still a nightmare. I've traveled through it many a time over the years and it only got worse as time went on due to the growth of the area.
He told me about some of the pictures he took of the people from all over the world. The Japanese were there in traditional garb which he said was just beautiful. But it was the people from the Ukraine that blew him away in their colorful garb. He can hardly wait to show me when he gets home. I had bought a roasting chicken to make a good meal for him when he got home today but I guess I will just have to wait until Tuesday now. It's just as well. I'm too damn tired today to make the stuffing, etc. that I had planned on. If I can only get Baron to settle down at night......!
I went to put his bed next to my recliner the other day so that he would feel more comfortable in here with me when I was on my computer. LOL! That was a mistake. He got so upset at my moving it (with no faith I would return it, I guess) that he was trying to yank it out of here to put it back himself. I got the message and returned it to it's proper place (in his mind). He then plopped down on it like he was daring me to move it again....LOL! The Beast got a good laugh at that when I told him.
Now, if I fall asleep in my recliner, he will leave his bed and come and lay down in my room but, as soon as I wake up, he zooms off to lay down on his bed again until he sees I am not interested in it. Then he will relax and come and eat his food or want to go out to do his business or just sniff the air to see what's going on in the neighborhood.
It's been fairly cool (considering) the past few days with the weather hitting 84 as a top temp. We had a light drizzle today so Baron trusted me enough to actually lay out on the deck to enjoy the cool air. Today it got a bit warmer (86 degrees F) but we had a nice breeze going so it dried off the deck enough for Baron to lay down on it. Otherwise, he would never had done that. He does NOT like getting wet except for his bath and he will even fight that initially.
I caught Baron sniffing in the garbage today so I had to close the lid. I know what he smelled....the chicken bones from his chicken the Beast cooks up for him every week. When I looked at the time, I realized I was about an hour late feeding him his morning meal. Yes, he gets fed twice a day and always has the dry food he can snack on. Since he's not getting a run every day, he's not eating as much anyway but he wants it when he usually gets it even if he waits to eat it. He will check his dish just to see if it's there for him. He can be so damn funny at times!
I have to order my diabetes meds when I am done with this. I went to fill up my pill box and realized that I only have today and tomorrow's worth of them. That means I MUST make another trip to Walmart tomorrow to pick them up and I am dreading that. I really can't walk around that store without being in major pain in a very short time. But a walk to get the prescriptions and back out shouldn't be too bad, I hope. We don't need anything else that I can think of so I should be able to get in and out in a short time.
Love you all. Talk to you later. Have a great week. ***Hugs***
