The Princess got here bright and early with Gunner to take the Beast to his eye doctor's office. I got to play with Gunner for a bit before they left and held him while he played bashful. It was adorable. About an hour and a half later, the Beast came back home angry as hell. It seems the doctor had no plans to do the optic cleaning today. It is scheduled now to be done down in Gadsden on the 20th. He was so disappointed that it made him angry every time he thought about it. It was supposed to be the day he would have the cleaning of his lens according to what he thought when this appointment was set. But it will be done in the doctor's other office and not this one here in Albertville.
He was upset mainly because the one eye is so cloudy, he can barely see out of it. If his other eye was as cloudy, he wouldn't be able to function at all and would feel like he was blind because his vision would be totally blurry. I can't say I blame him.
I made us breakfast (late in the day again). Today I sauteed some green onions for the scrambled eggs and added some sharp cheddar cheese, too. I toasted up some 5 grain bread to go with it and it was fantastic. I also made our dinner. It was spaghetti with all the goodies in it. We've been using three different meats (ground beef, ground breakfast sausage that's spicy plus Italian sausage...also spicy). We like our spaghetti a bit spicier than some but, by the time you add the sauce and tomatoes, it's only the Italian sausage pieces that are spicy to taste.
The Beast told me it was great but I think it was partly because it was a meal he didn't have to make. Even he laughed and said it might be so. Unfortunately, as usual, I made enough to feed a crowd. I'm hoping that Sheepie comes over tomorrow or Saturday to help eat it. Maybe even take some home with her for her dinner. LOL! The girl does like to eat. It's one of the things I love about her. Actually, pretty much all the kids in the family (apologies to all since none of you are technically *kids* but you are much, much younger than I am) are good eaters. It's one of the reasons I still make huge amounts of whatever I cook. I just can't help it.
It was another good day today. It was bright and sunny. The Beast finished mowing the yard and got some of the planter boxes in the yard cleared out so he could plant the tomato plants. Once he cleans out the other box, he's going to plant green peppers. We are not planting as much as we normally do this year because we are just getting a little too old to manage it all. But we use a lot of green peppers and tomatoes for our meals so we want to keep those.
It didn't get quite as warm as it was yesterday although it's still quite warm out now at 12:30am. It's 72 degrees and very comfortable. That will probably change since we are expecting rain tomorrow so, even though the temperature will be warm, the humidity will make it uncomfortable. I hope all of you in the path of the bad storms today come through it without being affected by the tornadoes spawned in some areas.
Love you all. Be careful. Keep an eye on the sky and stay tuned to your weather channel. Stay safe. ***Hugs***
