Doing A Very Careful Little Dance.....

Ahhh!  Each day has gotten better for me.  Today I feel almost...almost...normal.  The Beast was a sweetheart and washed my clothes that had gotten messed up from my IBS-D.  At least the fever now seems to be gone and I was able to eat.  I just wish the Beast didn't come up with things that are greasy (he likes his tacos greasy whereas I drain the grease off the meat).  But it worked and I feel better.  I am even managing coffee again...nectar of the Gods!

I didn't give the Beast my list yet since he was busy doing up some pictures that he took for one of our former neighbors.  He took some pictures of her 12 year old daughter (which shocked me because I remember her when she was just 7 and 8..sheesh!).  The pictures all turned out fantastic.  I don't think this kid could take a bad picture.  She will be thrilled with them when she sees them all made up.

I'll let the Beast do the shopping for me tomorrow after he gets home from church.  It's not like I need them right away.  Just need the miniature marshmallows and, last year, I thought I wasn't going to find any but ended up getting some from Dollar General.  I'm just going to take it easy so there's no chance of relapsing from whatever caused this.

Has anyone else noticed they are going to bed earlier since it gets dark so early now?  I know the Beast has been going to bed very early...around 7:30 and sometimes even earlier.  Of course, he wakes up early, too, but has the good sense to go back to bed when he discovers just how early it is...LOL.  He will let Baron outside for a bit then it's back to bed for both of them.  

It's only 6:45pm right now and the Beast has already taken his shower and is getting ready for bed!  He'll be on his computer for a while but not for longer than an hour, I'm sure.  He's already yawning...LOL.

Me?  I'll be taking my shower shortly and then will watch some TV before I head for bed for the night.  I'll be up and down more than likely since my bladder does seem to need to be recognized at least every two to three hours.  

I've noticed that Baron is starting to show signs of aging these days.  He's spending more time sleeping than being active.  His day seems to consist of going outside briefly in the morning, eating around 9-10am then sleeping for several hours.  He then goes outside again and, if he's lucky, the Beast runs him around the circle so he can do his doo-doo for the day, then back in the house to nap until it's around 5pm and he eats his chicken, rice and veggies.  After that, it's more resting up, sometimes in the Beast's lap, then it's outside just before bedtime and down for the night.  He seems content so I guess I shouldn't worry about it.  I just hate the idea of losing him.  When that happens, no more dogs.  Period!  

The Beast finally went out and bought another recliner.  He said he just wanted a chair and ottoman but this one was really nice.  It's leather but is so saft!  It feels amazing.  I didn't even bother to ask him what it cost because he would lie if he thinks he paid too much.  He hates to admit how much he spends on the things HE wants.  He also bought this *spot* cleaner to clean the love seat with.  It sits in one spot and cleans up bad sections but it also has a hose that extracts the moisture from those areas.  I give up!  You just can't stop him from buying stuff.  I do without but not him.  Grrr!

Oh well, time to get myself going.  I need to shower and get my jammies on then get nice and cozy while I decide if I am going to watch something on TV or play some of my DVD's.  I hope you stayed warm and dry if you are in the areas that got snow today.  Be safe.  Stay indoors if you can and don't get out and drive in that stuff!  ***Hugs***
