HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELIZABETH!

Quite the day here. I'd not like to repeat it.

Alarms on our phones work really really good. Mine is such an annoying tone I hate it and struggle to get my glasses on and figure out how the heck to turn it off. However..... if the phone runs out of power in the middle of the night and it shuts itself up...it's not so good. DH came in and said maybe I should get up if I was going to accompany him to the dentist. :roll: I had discovered it on the calendar late Monday evening and he was already asleep, so I left him 2 notes about it. He takes antibiotic because of his artificial joints an hour before his appointment so I had to make sure he did that... Anyway, we did make it up there in time and he got another 3 cavities filled. He goes back in 2 weeks for the last ones.

Desk lady was scheduling his next appointment and began telling us about the crown he needs.... and we were trying to understand that...she said he has one root canal tooth that was never crowned. I am flabbergasted at that, I thought the 3 he had done were capped but apparently not. We got to talking about that and she printed out his schedule of stuff to do. I was looking at that...and I don't think I realized it was 2 pages... when I brought it home all I can think is I thought one page was my receipt for today and I can't find that anywhere. Been through my purse several times, all the mess on my desk, 2 wastbaskets, DH's jeans pockets, shirt pocket, my clothes pockets and it's nowhere. sigh.... I am really trying to forgive myself for doing something so stupid.

When we came home I helped DH work on the kitchen faucet which meant cleaning out everything under the sink... and then wipe and put everything back. Lunch time. He dropped a can of soda on the floor..boom it explodes all over. I mop the floor, wipe cabinet, wash the throw rug and hang it outside. Then he wants to figure out the paint color for outside of the house and get a can that matches and repaint part of an outside wall...which got stained with some work he was doing and he painted in something that did not match and looks horrible.

When he gets an idea he wants to do something nothing will do but that he will do it. And now that I'm driving him everywhere it's a lot of work for me. We got a can of something they say will match (the original paint co. has been bought out and closed) but this co. has tried that already 3 times unsuccessfully. I didn't want to try this again but when he decides something....

So we'll see how all this goes. I did get a package in the mail at the post office and then picked up some things at the store...like his projects, if he gets out of something there's nothing else to do but get that thing. Pickle relish and batteries of all things. No waiting till shopping day...

Twins, I'm sorry you fell and had such a difficult time traveling. I'm glad you're back safe and sound.

LadyM, I see what you did with your steaks now. I would cook them a bit longer as I don't like the pink, especially if the juices seem bloody. shudder...

Blessed, nice to see you here today. I'm missing Dee.

I'm going to give up on a vegetable garden. All we're doing is feeding the raccoons.

I have done a few quick rounds it is windy now.
Got the onion sets in the area I dug up earlier.
The trimmings from rose harbor are in the can now and the last bag of weeds & seeds as well.
I still need to fuel up the mower and check oil in it but it is dusk now so that will wait.
It is not good weather for mowing this evening any way.

I WAS CHASED BY A SKUNK TONIGHT!!!
Maybe “chased” is an exaggeration, but the skunk DEFINITELY came in MY direction, rather than scurrying away from me when he saw me!
I had gone out to walk, around 7:30 pm, still plenty of light. I was walking up the driveway towards the house and it was coming from the other side of the yard. I started backing away and it kept coming towards me! I stopped; it kept coming… I backed away some more… it kept coming… so as soon as I got out of its sight, I ran around the corner of the house and went in the back door!
I thought wild animals were supposed to run when they saw a person! Rabbits and possums always run!
Tomorrow is another day.

Lucylee, maybe there are skunk babies somewhere near? I wouldn't mess with a mama skunk!
