It was absolutely gorgeous out today so I didn't mind getting dressed and going to Walmart to pick up a few things that I needed to get in the house. I did buy some Depends to have in the house for the next bout of IBS that I suffer with. I just don't want to take the chance that it won't happen again. My doctor told me a while back that, if I could go six months without an incident, I would probably never have the problem again but I just can't seem to make that goal. So, better safe than sorry. It's not a fun problem to have.
It got up to 68 degrees here and was so-so. There was a bit of cloudiness but also a lot of sunlight. Baron was happy because the Beast took him out for a run twice today. He just waited a couple hours inbetween times to do it....LOL.
The Princess called me to find out if I had knitting needles but I told her I only do crocheting. I gather she found a couple cute patterns for some kind of footwear for the baby that she wants to try to make. She was also hoping I had some chunky type yarn but I told her she actually could find those things at Walmart and didn't have to worry about running up to Michael's or one of the other craft stores in Huntsville. She thought she would have to do that. If she went or not, I don't know but I am sure I will find out....eventually.
I was listening to the weather tonight and discovered that northern California is now having a flooding problem! They've been in drought mode for ages now and suddenly they are getting more rain than they can handle. I haven't had a chance to talk to my friend, Carol, out in the San Francisco area but they are affected. I just hope they aren't having problems with flash flooding there. But it will, eventually, be nice when everything settles down to know they've gotten some of the rain they've desperately needed. It helped me not feel so guilty about enjoying our weather today.
I was up most of the day for a change. I should be asleep now but had to get up to go to the bathroom so I figured I would get this blog done and posted at a decent time. I'm tired and didn't take a nap so I should get to sleep fairly easy tonight. I have to find out from the Beast tomorrow what day the vet is going to do Baron's surgery and I sure hope she has some kind of solution for us to use to keep him from licking the areas. The paw will be critical and I don't think the idea of a collar appeals to the Beast. I think HE thinks it's cruel or something. We can't be the first people faced with this kind of problem with a dog so there must be something that can be done. I said to the Beast, *What would she have us do then? Tape his paw to his chest???* He just laughed because I knew he was imagining that great beast of ours on just three paws....LOL!
I watch some strange programs, I guess. At least the Beast thinks so. I watch things like *Strangest Weather On Earth* (a late night weather channel series), Dr. Pol (a vet in MN), another vet in Alaska (female...her name escapes me at the moment), any animal documentaries except Pitbulls and Parolees. One of my favorites is Orangutan Island but it's on here at 5am so I don't get to see it too often. I also love to see the ones on the History Channel about Ancient Discoveries, where we are finding out we aren't all that smart these days as we think we are...LOL.
The Beast watches almost nothing except news shows, talk shows and old movies. And not many old movies even. He makes me nuts with the crap he watches all the time. I want local news, not that stuff going on everywhere else. It's bad enough he feels he has to run in and tell me all about it every few minutes. Sheesh. I'm just not all that excited about what Isis is doing, sorry.
I'm more concerned with the prices of meat and stuff at the grocery store these days. Oh well. More nice weather tomorrow for us. It will slowly get cooler until about Wednesday of next week when we will be back to the more familiar cold weather. I can live with that.
Love you all. Hope your week has gone well so far. Be good. Stay warm and dry. ***Hugs***
