I slept in today but was awake and watching TV when the Princess and Gunner showed up. The Princess brought the knee brace but I don't know if the Beast even tried it on. I forgot to ask him after the Princess finally went home. She was trying out one of the Beast's lenses to see if it was what she wanted to buy for herself or not. I think the Beast recommended a different one to her. She took a few pictures of Gunner but he really wasn't in the mood for pictures (the teething) so she didn't keep any of them. She told me she had asked Chewlee if she wanted to come with but one of Johnnycakes friends was visiting with his kids and Chewlee said we would be there next time. LOL! I don't blame her for choosing playing with kids over visiting two old people, no matter how much she may love us.
Then we had a visit from Dennis, who came over to get a couple of the milk jugs the Beast had saved for him as well as to *chew the fat* with the Beast. They both watch the same TV programs and I want no part of that. It's incredibly boring and you would think the two of them had all the answers to what was wrong with the world. *Sigh*
Later on Jason, from his church, showed up and stayed about an hour and a half. I took the opportunity to run up to Dollar General (the new one just down the road from us) because I was told they had their probiotic on sale. Alas, it was sold out and I found out why. It was really a clearance sale since they have now apparently changed over to Rexall vitamins for the old brand they were selling. I'm really disappointed because their brand sold a bottle of probiotics that had 90 pills in it for much less than any of the other brands on the market that only contain 30 pills. That's just my luck. Oh well.
After that, our company for the day was over. I spoke with Jason, whom I like because he is an interesting person just because of his background. Until recently, he was raising fish that he sold to various shops. He and I got along when I told him about our funny goldfish that would often track us as we moved around his tank. He had a distinct personality, I thought, although the Beast thought he was just looking for food. However, Jason said he found the same thing with many of the fish he raised much to the Beast's surprise. The Beast ended up releasing the goldfish into our lake here when he got tired of the cleaning of the tank. Also, Chewlee lost her fascination with the fish but I think it was because the Beast really kept her away from the tank more than anything. Her mother bought her several fish but they all seemed to die on them within about two weeks or so. Since I never saw what they kept the fish in, I have no clue why. I think it might have been a bowl and the water wasn't freshened enough but I'm not sure. A bowl loses oxygen quickly so needs refreshing often. When you have two kids and one is a baby, you really don't have both the time and energy to worry about a goldfish.
It was not a very nice day today. Although we didn't get rain until around 10pm or so, the day was overcast and breezy. Neither dog wanted to stay outside for longer than they had to. If the Beast was sitting in his recliner, Baron insisted on being in his lap and he faced outward so that he could make sure Lady stayed away. He's so jealous of any attention either one of us pays to her. Not that we stop paying attention. We just make sure we give HIM some, too. LOL! They are like two little kids at times.
Tomorrow is supposed to be a day of thunderstorms. If they will be at night or not, I am not sure. I don't mind them at night as long as there is no chance of tornadoes. I will be watching the weather channel a LOT to make sure. Dennis and Di across the street have a safe room that we are invited to make use of, along with the dogs now. It used to be just Baron but they have found out that Lady is a cutie so she is also welcome. I don't think they could be cruel enough to deny them anyway. I just hope we don't have to make use of the safe room any time soon. I sure as hell don't want a tornado to hit THIS house. I know it would be a total loss. It's not much better than living in a mobile home with the way it's structured. The wind can get underneath it and that would take it away! I've said to the Beast before that there's really no safe place here so I am grateful for Dennis and Di.
Well, time to get this posted. Love you all. Hope you have a better day than most of the US will be having. Be safe. ***Hugs***
