I was kind of relieved today when the Beast actually felt good enough (after taking more of the Theraflu cough stuff) to go outside and mow the lawn out front and even our lot next door. He stopped briefly to talk with Dennis who was taking the opportunity to ride his motorcycle on this great day we had.
Not a cloud in the sky, which almost seemed abnormal to me but it was definitely clear, blue sky. I haven't seen a cloud-less sky in a long time. If it happens to you, you will understand what I mean. We don't have pollution around here because there are no plants or industrial sites anywhere within 50 miles. I'm only saying 50 miles because I am not sure if they have any in Gadsden or Birmingham (which is slightly more than 50 miles away). I do know there are some sites with big chimneys just northeast of Huntsville but I am not sure what those plants are. I just suspect that any plant with big chimneys is going to be spewing out some kind of pollution. But they are the ones that are 50 miles away from us.
It was an incredibly beautiful day. Very little wind, sunny, and it was 75 degrees out in the afternoon. I had gone over to Cee's around noon. We sat and chatted about our brother for a bit and then on to other things. I ended up spending almost four hours there. I was shocked that the time passed so quickly. I didn't have to worry about dinner because I had already told the Beast we were having leftovers. I just heated up the stew for us. There was just enough left for our two bowls. I thought that was great because I usually make enough for a crowd. I had tried not to make too much and, for once, I did good. LOL
When I got home, I decided to wash my clothes and discovered the Beast had a quilt in the washer and the dryer had a set of sheets and pillow cases from the guest bedroom. He had discovered that Baron had been wiping his nose on the edge of the bed up at the top (he found it when he went to straighten out the bedspread) and the sheets had a distinct dirty area. I thought it was funny that Baron had moved aside the bedspread in order to use the sheet to scratch his muzzle. I told the Beast it was his fault that Baron did that because I had been saying for over a week that Baron needed a bath. Dirty muzzle, dirty dog...plain and simple to me. So tomorrow is bath day for Baron. It's supposed to be even warmer than today so Baron will enjoy it. What ticks me off is that his first impulse after a bath is to roll in the grass or else he has to come into my computer room or the guest room and roll on the rug.
It's not to get dry, either. He can be completely dry (we used to use the *warm* setting on my blow dryer to dry him during the winter but he still had to roll. He always has this stupid grin on his face. I guess a back scratch is a back scratch even for dogs. People just do it differently.
I fell asleep in my recliner after dinner so I don't know when the Beast went to bed. I woke up about an hour ago and took my shower. I'm in my jammies now and ready for bed....almost. Even though I slept for 5 hours, my eyes still have that tired feeling. I figure they are trying to tell me something.
Love you all. Remember that you shouldn't live in the past because then you aren't paying attention to today. You can choose to be happy. Get rid of negative people in your life. Get rid of the people who are always creating drama. Appreciate the ones that make you laugh and are kind. I wish you all happiness. ***Hugs***
