I did bookwork. Paid our water bill for the house, paid December sales tax for shop. Filed the Nevada MBT. 

I fitted PBJR with the sweatshirt in the closet, but she could not walk in it. The pink sweater we purchased for her is in the camper.

I started the dishwasher and cleaned the kitchen counter & sink. 

I put clean clothes in the dryer.  

I picked up dog poo outside and threw BALL for Riley.

Riley & Tater stayed outside. I did bookwork.  I took down the snowmen that I had up for January and put up Valentine's decor.

Hubby sent many pictures of PBJR playing with people at the shop. Getting pets, getting belly rubs.

I played BALL with Riley outside. I put away clean clothes.

I did more bookwork. Hubby texted and I ran a credit card for customer at shop. 

I conditioned my hair again. It is getting so thin and breaking off. I am in despair. 

PBJR and Hubby came home after stopping at MACU to deposit $. Then they drove behind the house. Tater, Riley, and I went out to see PBJR and the dogs barked at her.

Hubby unloaded her and she rushed into the house to potty in the back yard. 

Even though Hubby said Nick had taken her out for walks and potty several times, she did not go potty. She held it until she got home. 

Then Hubby gave the dogs some treats. PBJR had eaten her peanut butter ball at the shop. 

I did bookwork. Hubby sat down to watch YouTube videos with the dogs.

MONDAY
JANUARY 26 2026





I slept on the sofa after Hubby started snoring again and the dogs crowded me out of bed. 

At 1AM, one of the dogs yelped and I went to check on them. Then I went potty. I was too cold to sleep on the sofa again; it had been uncomfortable and cold. So I went back to bed. Dogs had moved over next to Hubby, so I had lots of room. It was cold at first, but Tater moved next to me and warmed me up.

I finally fell asleep.

I was up at 7AM. I heard Hubby take the dogs out for potty. He said he fell asleep on the sofa again and then got up late to feed the dogs egg breakfast. He gave tuna and shredded cheese to the cats.

Hubby left at 8AM so he could hook up his trailer. We need to go pick up our new sofa & loveseat in Vegas at Big's Furniture. We need to drop off some shocks at Vital Motion for Robert to rebuild. 

I found a "supposedly" good BBQ that we will try when we go to Vegas today - Road Kill Grille. Hubby always wants BBQ when we go to Vegas. 

I picked up dog poo outside. Played BALL with Riley. I had to wear a sweater because even tho the sun is shining, it is very cold. I still have the fireplace on inside. 

I did some bookwork. Put away clean clothes. Put more clothes in the dryer. I put away clean dishes and started another load of dishes.

Up at 3:45AM with Riley so she could potty outside.

Andy called me at 8:30AM and it was then that I realized we were supposed to get our Pedicures done at 7AM today, not 9AM. 

We loaded the dogs into the FMF after putting on their harnesses. Then we drove the back way around to GS Nails because Hubby forgot the other road is still closed.

We saw the BALLOON Rally at the Casablanca. It was a cold day with no wind so it was great flying weather. Balloons were going straight up and not moving very much at all.

BALLOON RALLY 2026 MESQUITE NV



Got our Pedicures done at GS NAILS.

Then we left GS NAILS and drove to the Mesquite Info Center and walked the dogs. A couple cars parked there, but nobody inside them.

I walked PBJR all around the sidewalk. 

We then drove to Pancho's because I wanted a breakfast burrito. Hubby ordered me a carne asada burrito. Yum. Nice and warm. I ate it at home.

At home, we unloaded dogs. Let them in the back yard to play.

Hubby watched YouTube TV for a while.

I put away dishes. I put away clean clothes. 

I played BALL with Riley for a while.

Hubby tried spray-painting the Xmas trees that I made, but the colors were too light. We will have to go down to Sherwin Williams to get better paint colors.

I played BALL with Riley for 1 hour at 2PM. 

I shaved the hair off Hubby's ears, but his left ear started bleeding. It got on his shirt. He had to change and clean his ear. All the dogs came outside with us 

At 3PM, we got the house closed up. Put the cats in our room and closed the door.

Went to get massages at the Casablanca SPA. We had to follow some car that was crossing the white lines in the round-about. I rolled down my window and stuck my hand out to get fresh air and it SCARED the guy in the car next to us!

We had to follow some truck that was driving 2 mph thru the parking lot at the Casablanca. Hubby took a short cut.

We went inside and checked in. The irritating girl is at the desk. I don't like her. Apologizes too much. Makes too many mistakes. 

I went to the women's lockers room and it was being overwhelmed by 8 LARGE women. They were PIGS. Throwing towels on the floor, Leaving crap in the showers, left the showers running, Blocking my lockers. I had a locker on the bottom level which I hate. I need to remind the new girl that I need a top locker. Finaly the rude women left and I could get to my locker as they had been blocking it. I changed and met Hubby in the waiting room.

Raven & Malia met us. We had lots of laughs during massage. 

We left and went to get showers. My showers was barely lukewarm as they DID NOT turn on the water 15 minutes before we were done. The kid had just exited the women's lockers when I walked inside. 

There was also another VERY rude woman that was hogging the locker next to mine. What are the odds that I had TWO people in lockers on either side of me???

I got dressed and met Hubby outside. 

The new girl is an idiot. I discovered later that she had NOT GIVEN US THE LOCALS DISCOUNT. She charged us full price. I have to be on top of her better. Do EVERYBODY else's job. OMG.

We left there and drove home. 

At home, we put the dogs out for potty. I played BALL with Riley for a while.

Hubby warmed up chicken sausage for me. He had dinner. 

We went to bed at 10PM, but could not settle. I was crowded by the dogs. We listened to Dr Hook and 3 Dog Night songs on my iPhone before bed. Then Hubby started to SNORE.

Gave dogs their pig ears. Riley kept trying to steal Tater's, PBJR ate hers right away. Tater kept carrying his around the house. PBJR ate hers right away. There were NO fights like I thought there might be. Tater did growl at Riley when she tried to steal his, but Riley would back off.

TATER WITH PIG EAR


PBJR ENJOYING PIG EAR


Hubby baked his spiral-cut ham. We put the bigger ham in the refrigerator in the garage. Hubby baked carrots, snap peas, and beans in the oven for the dogs. I suggested putting the ham juice on the vegetables to make it tastier. He also used parmesan cheese that we had found in the pantry on top of the vegetables. Yum.

Hubby also baked potatoes in the oven.

We settled down and watched TV. 

I did some story time with Hubby on the sofa.

FRIDAY
JANUARY 23 2026





I slept on the sofa at Midnight. 

Had to tidy up everything in the living room. Hubby had left his iPad plugged in again. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I ASKED HIM NOT TO DO THAT. Like living with a 5 year old.

Hubby had been snoring. At 5AM, I let the dogs out and back in again. Had to put Tater on the bed because Hubby would not get up.

I went to bed when Hubby got up with the dogs at 6AM. He made hot egg breakfast for the dogs, gave cheese & tuna to the cats. 

I finally got up at 9AM. I heard lawn leaf blowers outside and it woke me up.

When we lived in Denver, 1986-1991, I shopped at the 5-7-9 Store. They always had such BEAUTIFUL SWEATERS!

I am afraid to get on the scale until I lose more weight. I really need to see those numbers go down.

I made hot Amaretto latte for Hubby, hot plain latte, tea, and Nanogreens for myself. Hubby warmed up egg bites for me. I put in chicken/apple sausages in the air fryer. 

I helped Hubby make the bed. I cleaned up the counter and put dishes in dishwasher to wash.

Then we drove to Beaver Dam. Stopped at Maverik to get burritos. Hubby came out and had to wait 5 minutes to buy lottery tickets because they did not have enough staff on site to sell tickets. 

A homeless guy came up to Hubby while he was filling the diesel and asked to buy trinkets. Hubby said no.

Then a young woman came over to borrow duct tape because their spoiler on the car had come off and they were trying to tape it back up. Hubby said to keep the whole brand new roll.

Cats were going wild this morning, digging in the litter, screeching and fighting with each other, running thru the house.
