Of course, the fact that I also cooked some gizzards with the chicken thighs (Baron food) may have something to do with it but....oh lord! Does it STINK up the house once you relieve the pressure valve. Yuk!
I had a busy day today. Perhaps knowing the Beast will be home tomorrow has something to do with it or perhaps it's just TIME. Know what I mean? It started with my filling my pill box for the week, which I should have done yesterday but I was just too damn tired. Baron had me up darn near every hour. I think he might have been constipated. You never think of that happening to a dog but I swear, it does happen. Anyway, last night I slept fairly decently and Baron only woke me once so his problem must be over now. I fed him a big bowl of veggies with his chicken yesterday and that may have helped him out.
Today there was garbage to go out since we have to put the can out for collection on Wednesday. I had both the garbage in my room plus the one from the kitchen. I dragged out the collection of boxes I had stacked in here (the ones Chewlee played with on her last sleepover) and, if I can, I will just put them into the garbage can instead of leaving it for the Beast to burn. He hates to have to cut them up first so, since I know he is going to be a basket case when he gets home, I thought I would save him the trouble.
I ran up to Walmart since I had discovered I was low on two of my meds. Important ones. I bought the chicken for Baron to cook up since his supply is low. No sense the Beast pushing himself if I can prevent it. I was smart this time and took the little motor cart the store has for people like me that have a problem with walking. That way I came home and still felt good.
I had a full clothes hamper full of clothes so I decided to wash them while I was feeling decent. They are in the dryer right now....well, most of them. I DO have another load washing. Thankfully, it's a small one. It's pretty much hanging clothes so I can take my time folding up my pj's and underwear that makes up most of the folding stuff.
I have to admit, I haven't felt this energetic in ages. I just wish I had the energy to go out and weed the garden. It looks awful! There are a few weeds that almost smother one of the Beast's tomato plants. I kid you not. I wish we had a kid here we could hire to do the weeding for us. Neither the Beast nor I are really up to the bending (or crawling) that you need to do to get it done. Oh well! What can I say? We are definitely OLD people.
The Beast told me he's ruined his good shoes with all the walking he had to do in Atlanta. I told you he drags his one foot (the one affected by his strokes) and it's worse when he gets tired. He says he's worn the sole out on it and the front is ruined, too. Now I understand why he goes through his sneakers the way he does. The shoes were NOT cheap, either. His sneakers are but not his Sunday-go-to-meeting shoes. Sheesh!
My pre-op testing is on Thursday at 1pm. They will tell me what time to be at the hospital and any other instructions. I'm sure I am going to get more of the damn soap/lotion since it involves most of my leg and part of my abdomen. The surgery, I mean. Not a fun time.
Mustachio was supposed to have his surgery today and I have been worried about him all day long. I tried calling him but all I get is his voice mail so I gave it up. I am sure he needs his rest after all the stress I am sure he has been through. He had to have been very scared. I just hope it worked and he gets the feeling back in that hand.
Well, the dryer is calling me so I am going to close and get that done. Love you all. Hope your week started out great after the three day holiday. ***Hugs***
