The Beast slept well last night although he said he still didn't feel like he's made up the night's sleep that he lost. BUT...he outlined his activities for the next two days and he's leaving on Friday. I made plans with Cee about getting together here at the house to make up something for our probably late lunch on Friday. We can relax since the Beast will be gone. Of course, I will more than likely have the kids living next door to us but I don't think they will actually be under our feet the first few days they are living in the trailer.
The Princess said that Johnnycakes is taking some time off from work when they make the move so it won't be like he will be trying to sleep with the Princess and Gunner trying to keep quiet. Trust me, that isn't likely so I imagine that is when I am most likely to see them here, during the day, until it's time for her to pick up Chewlee from school. She may even end up making her dinner here and just taking it back to the RV with her. We'll work that all out as time goes along.
Anyway, I found out that the Beast had asked the Princess if she would take Baron for a walk around the circle. He was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to make it and, since the last time I walked him around the circle, he tangled my legs suddenly in his leash and broke my wrist, he didn't think I would be up to that. I told her that I intended to run Baron around while on my scooter (yes, it's mine and I know how to ride it) since that is what Baron is used to so she didn't have to worry about doing that with taking care of her own family. Unless she really wants to, of course. But I don't think that will be an issue.
He's almost done putting the railing back together. There is just one more of the small posts that run between the upper and lower rails for him to put on and then it's just a matter of some touch-up paint. He wants to get that done tomorrow and get me enough canned dog food and dry dog food to last while he's gone. On Thursday, he wants to pick me up some more food so I don't have to keep making a run to the store. In reality, he doesn't really want me to leave Baron alone for any length of time. He's not fooling me...lol.
He went to bed a bit later tonight than yesterday but he had a good night's sleep last night so he wasn't exhausted. I fed him a good dinner when he got home from church tonight (at 9pm) but he is the type that needs to have a full stomach when he goes to bed or he doesn't sleep well. He was tired when he headed for bed a half hour ago and, when I went to get some coffee a few minutes ago, he was snoring so he's asleep. He'll stop snoring when he turns on his side in a few minutes. He always does when his mouth starts getting dry....LOL!
I'll have to pack his bag for him for while he's gone. He always forgets something important when he packs his own. He just doesn't think in the same way a woman does. Last time, he forgot both his robe AND his sleep pants so he had to put his jeans on all the time while staying at his aunt's house. This way I don't have to go over a list of things to make sure he hasn't forgotten them. He almost forgot his medication last time. I never thought he would forget his robe or his sleep pants so they weren't on my list of *reminders*. He just thought he would surprise me by packing his own suitcase. He's actually used to me doing it for him.
I didn't end up doing any wash today since I figured out that I should do it on Thursday so everything is clean that he will need. He's wearing his sleep pants so those will need washing and he's already worn his other pair this week. I bought him his first pair to wear after he took his bath during the winter to see how he would like one. He bought his other pair because he found out they were nice to have. But he said he really didn't think he needed more than the two pair and didn't want me to buy him any more than that. I probably will, however, before winter sets in because they are looking a little ragged because of Baron always crawling into his lap when he's wearing them. I think that's why the front of some of his jeans look worn for the same reason. It's not a normal place for jeans to get worn.
I bought some Italian ices in squeeze packets for Chewlee for while she's living nearby. She loves them and, even if these aren't the ones she is used to getting, they are a treat she won't be expecting. I want to pick up some yogurt for me and for her, too. I don't know if Gunner likes them or not but they will be here for the Princess if she wants to feed him one in the morning after she drops Chewlee off at school....unless she goes to the gym, of course. Sometimes, Johnnycakes doesn't feel like going to sleep right away and will watch Gunner while she goes to the gym. Gunner loves his daddy and Johnnycakes loves Gunner. You can tell just watching him with Gunner. I think it's just fantastic. I wish the Beast had been half the dad that Johnnycakes is. It would have made a huge difference in the lives of our kids.
Time to close this for tonight. Love you all. Hope you have a truly great week after the three day weekend. Be good. Be safe. ***Hugs***
HINT#1: Cleaning your garbage disposal is as easy as throwing a few ice cubes down your drain. Run the disposal until you no longer hear grinding, and your job is done. The cold cubes will congeal any grease in the drain, allowing your disposal to break it up. Add a peel from any citrus fruit to give it a fresh scent!
HINT#2: Always store you carrots with the tops removed. The green parts will pull moisture from the carrots while they're in the bin.
