Darn....No Eggs Today.....

I got up just after the Beast had left for another morning out with some of his church members and got dressed after I had my first cup of coffee.  I then set out for the coop to check on the chickens and see if we had any more eggs.  Nope.  Not a single one and I really checked.

The Beast had put some of the nesting material on the top shelf and I don't know if they liked that there or not.  It seemed kind of hard to me but it seems like it's dry hay so who knows?

I scattered some corn for them and then, after I got out of the coop, I grabbed up a big bunch of the weeds that they like and threw that in for them.  They went nuts.  It must be really tasty to them.  I was feeling energetic so I emptied the dishwasher and filled it with the few dishes in the sink.  I then took the garbage from the kitchen and put it out in the bin outside and got my phone out of my car.  I'd left it there yesterday when I got home from Cee's and didn't discover that until much later.  Thankfully, there were only a couple numbers I didn't recognize so they were obviously sales calls.  No loss there.

When the Beast got home, I made him some leftover spaghetti (which is always better the next day, right?) and then I took a short nap.  Very short.  Just a half hour because the Beast started coming in and talking to me about his day out with his church group.  That's when we decided that we needed to get the guest bed cleaned and the bed made up fresh.  That was after the Beast told me that his cousin, Bevie, might come to visit us.  She wasn't exactly sure when if she did but he wanted to be prepared and I prefer that myself.  Baron had the bedspread dirty from laying on it when we were not paying attention to whether or not that door was closed (and before he was given his bath).  He was filthy dirty (how the Beast lets him get that way is beyond me...and he won't let me do it because *I* can't get him to cooperate like *he* can.  But this is the dog he professes to love.  I really think he does but he sure doesn't know how to treat him well.  Not in my book.

After the Beast left to pick up someone that needed a lift to church tonight, I ended up running to the store for some stain remover spray.  Would you believe that the spot that  Baron had dirtied was still a mess after washing?  So I sprayed the whole area and washed it again.  This time it came out looking like new.  I also sprayed the area of the sheets where he was wiping his muzzle and those came out clean, too.  I used the spray on a couple of the Beast's t-shirts that had dried blood on them (he keeps hitting his head on the edge of the cabinet doors...when HE doesn't close them and forgets they are open).  I was actually shocked that the spray removed the stains, even though it's a product that they are always saying gets out any kind of stain.  

Before the Beast got dressed for church, I ran down to my nephew, Michael's old house, and checked his mailbox for him.  Good thing I did when Cee asked me to go (I live closer than she does and Michael had called her and asked her to check for him since his change of address didn't go in until they had found a place to rent).  I guess one of his neighbors had been checking and saving his mail for him but today it was in his mailbox along with a note that it should all be returned to senders since they had moved and left no forwarding.  One way or another, it will get to Cee so she can forward it to him.  I looked to see if I had any more manila envelopes left to make it easier for her but they are all gone.  Oh well.

I made a couple ears of corn as a snack for the Beast and I this evening and it was so damn tasty!  Sweet and tender, it almost melted in your mouth.  I may bake them (in aluminum foil with salt and butter) when I bake us a couple of sweet potatoes tomorrow to go with our dinner.  I'll make some cinnamon butter for the potatoes....yum!  I was told to try using honey instead of sugar or brown sugar but the only honey we have in the house has too strong a flavor for that.  It wouldn't taste the same.

The Beast went to bed after eating his corn because he's going out with his church group again tomorrow.  I'll work on clearing out more of my strawberry bed while he is gone after I make up the guest bed.  I'll let him vacuum when he gets home.  I'm also going to wash the dog's face off.  I found out the Beast never washed it.  No wonder the dog was still wiping his face on the bed!  He said he was afraid of getting soap in his eyes.  I couldn't believe he would be that dumb and not just use it on a wash cloth and wipe the face good with that and then rinse his face off.  He always shuts his eyes when he sees you are going to rinse him off.  He watches your hands with the hose section so he will do fine if you do it that way.  Honestly!  

Well, I have to go shower now and get my jammies on.  I've been watching the weather channel about the areas under tornado warnings and severe weather threats.  I feel horrible about those areas.  No matter what, people will be hurt by damage to homes and trees or, if a tornado occurs, even worse!    Tornado warnings now in several areas of Kansas.  Yikes!

Love you all.  Be good.  Be happy.  It's your choice.  ***Hugs***
