SEPTEMBER 14 2026

Tater woke up in the middle of the night barking, Hubby said he heard sirens. I comforted Tater. 

HEAT WAVE AGAIN

I was awake early at 3:45AM. Turned off the alarm. Turned the A/C to 70F. It was 92F degrees outside already. 

I opened the front door, opened the spare bedroom mini blinds. 

I got dressed. The dogs woke up and I greeted them quietly. Tater kept barking. 

I unlocked the sliding glass door, then I put out shredded cheese and tuna for the cats. 

I let the dogs out. Hubby got up and went potty. Got dressed. Made the bed.

I made hot latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself.

Hubby put on his shoes, then put the collars on the dogs. 

We loaded the dogs into the Dually. 

We drove to Bunkerville to walk the dogs. The parked had watered. I put on my boots. 

I threw BALL for Riley. Hubby walked with PBJR. Tater ran around like a puppy.

Tater pooped over by the fence against the field. I picked it up. Hubby threw it away.

Afterwards, we gave the dogs water and loaded them into the truck. Drove home. Had to roll the windows up and turn the A/C on full blast because all the dogs were hot & panting. 

It is too hot out again.

At home, we unloaded the dogs. 

I went outside and picked up dog poo. 6 piles. 

I took a nap on the sofa. Slept until 8AM. 

Hubby cleaned cat litter. He watched YouTube TV for a while. He vacuumed the truck before he left for the shop in the Jeep at 8:30AM. I would not let him kiss me because of my CANKER SORE. 

I cleaned off the counters. I made chicken in butter on the stove. I fried up some bacon in the air-fryer. I made crepes. Then I ate 1/2 of one crepe. I put the rest of the food in the fridge. 

I cleaned up and put dishes in dishwasher to clean. I put dishes away later. 

I fed left over chicken juice to Tater. I had opened two cans to cook. Then I gave PBJR some of the juice with a little bit of chicken. I opened up a can of tuna for Riley. She needs to keep up her protein.

I went outside to play BALL with Riley. PBJR went in and out many times. 

I put more dishes in the dishwasher to clean. I put away one load of laundry. I put in the pillows from our sofa and the pillow cases to wash. 

I took some garbage out. I re-filled the cat water fountain in the front bathroom. 

I did bookwork.

SUNDAY

SEPTEMBER 13 2026

HEAT WAVE AGAIN

I was awake early at 3:45AM. Turned off the alarm. Turned the A/C to 70F. It was 92F degrees outside. 

I opened the front door, opened the spare bedroom mini blinds. 

I got dressed. The dogs woke up and I greeted them quietly. 

I unlocked the sliding glass door, then I put out shredded cheese and tuna for the cats. 

I let the dogs out. Hubby got up and went potty. Got dressed. Made the bed.

I made hot latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself.

Hubby put on his shoes, then put the collars on the dogs. 

We loaded the dogs into the Dually. 

We drove to Bunkerville to walk the dogs. It was cooler and the parked had watered. I put on my boots. 

At first, I could not find ANY balls in the truck, then I looked in the back seat and found ONE ball tucked into the side plastic pockets. I threw BALL for Riley. Hubby walked with PBJR. Tater ran around like a puppy.

Afterwards, we gave the dogs water and loaded them into the truck. Drove home. Had to roll the windows up and turn the A/C on full blast because all the dogs were hot & panting. 

It is too hot out again.

At home, I immediately took a shower because I felt so hot and sweaty. My hair was yucky. I took Riley in with me to shower. She stood very good while I soaped & rinsed her. Then Hubby came to wipe her off. He put a shower robe on her.

Then I got dressed. Cleaned up the towels and put them in the laundry to wash.

I made a crepe for Hubby with chicken & bacon.  

I went outside and picked up dog poo. 11 piles. One was so runny that I had to spray it down. 

I put clean spring water in the dog bowl outside. I filled the other with fresh water from the hose. 

Hubby cleaned cat litter. He watched YouTube TV for a while.

At 8:30AM, we put the cats in bedrooms. Left the dogs at home. Drove to GS Nails to get our pedicures at 9AM with Andy.

Hubby accidentally slammed my team on the floor when he flung his left arm on the armrest. I had put my tea container there because the holder was down. Andy had to clean it up.

We drove to Beaver Dam to fill the Dually with Diesel. (HAVE TO GET A SMALL LOAN NOW TO BUY FUEL) We bought lottery tickets. Drove into Maverik (who had put up a lower price on Gas Buddy. There were cars 4 deep waiting, and semis 3 deep waiting) so instead we turned around and drove to TA Plaza that was supposed to be selling at $6.36 but it was priced at $5.85 at the pump.

Hubby bought Sbarro pizza. He had been hungry at the Pedicures. He had gotten me some tasteless Lipton tea. 

We ate some pizza in the truck, then drove home.

Hubby had to stop and wash the truck. I had been signed OUT of the APP again, so I had to quickly sign into it. 

Arrived home at 11:15AM. We drove home. At home, I got out of the Dually Went to see the dogs. They were happy we were back.

I put the dogs outside for potty. I let the cats out of the bedrooms. 

Hubby put away the cat litter. He vacuumed in our bathroom. 

Gave the dogs some supplements. Hubby gave Tater his meds.

We watched TV. I took another nap at 1PM.

RATTLER HANGING OUT IN A BOX ON THE DINING ROOM TABLE

We got into the hot tub at 2PM. Riley came out and swam with us. Then Hubby put things away. Oscar, the Landscaper was over at Amy's, the neighbors doing trimming. Not our place, tho. 

I played BALL with Riley in the back yard. PBJR and Tater laid down on the dog beds. Tater tried to play with a stuffed whale, but Riley got jealous and played tug-of-war with him. Both of them barking and growling. 

Riley dried off pretty fast. 

I got dressed. Then went to do bookwork in the office. 

Hubby sat down to watch TV, but his phone rang. 

Hubby went down to the shop at 3PM. Pat had called and wanted to borrow the trailer. Hubby had to take it over to his shop. 

Then Hubby stopped at Smith's to get groceries. He got some beer, frozen french fries, ribs, milk, cottage cheese, and sour cream. Over $100.

This is getting beyond ridiculous. Prices for groceries are up over 100-300%. What the actual fuck?

Fuel is up 65% Where the fuck are people supposed to get money to pay for all this?

Hubby made his ribs on the oven. Then he had some french fries warmed up in the air-fryer with a little ketchup. 

I warmed up my chicken/apple sausages in the air-fryer.

We went in the hot tub at 7PM. Soak for a little while, but had to get out early as we were sweating. It is too hot again.

Watched another episode of REACHER on TV. 

Went to bed at 9PM. Hubby stayed up to watched TV. Then he and the dogs came in much later.

I took a hot bath, then went back to sleep on the sofa. I was hurting everywhere even though I took Gabapentin. Before the bath, I took some aspirin. 

I finally got up at 7AM. I dressed. 

I was hurting everywhere all night. Still hurting this morning. 

I went to the kitchen to make crepes. Hubby had fried chicken with bacon last night, but it was a little bit too dry. He made more this morning. 

I boxed his crepe up in a plastic container so he could take it to work. 

Hubby cleaned the cat litter. 

I went out and picked up dog poop. Lots of pudding poo. No more liver treats.

I went to GS Nails at 2:30AM for my 3PM appointment. Andy's mom was still there. A woman named Wendy came in to get a pedicure with Mom. I got my nails done. Andy fixed my split toenail. 

Andy re-scheduled my new 2 months appointments because he is leaving again to take his Dad & Mom back to Vietnam so his Dad can do a religious ceremony before he dies. 

I was a bit irritated. I don't like him leaving. He will be gone when the majority of his customers are returning. 

I got done there and Hubby asked me to come pick him up at the shop to get vehicles that were at the Roadrunner Tires. I drove him up there and he got a Raptor pickup. Then I had to meet him at the store and take him back AGAIN to pick up another car.

I finally got home to the dogs at 4:15PM. They were happy. I let the cats out. I let the dogs out for potty.

We waited for Hubby to arrive at 5:15PM. He had to stay over time to wait for a customer to pick up a vehicle. 

RILEY & PBJR ON THE SOFA

When Hubby came home, we got in the hot tub late. 

We watched TV for a while, then we went to bed. 

Hubby put Stuart out of our bedroom and into his kennel.

Hubby got home late. He said all the Snowbirds returned to town and it was extremely busy.

We had a late hot tub soak because it took forever to warm up. 

Went to bed at 9PM.

I was doing bookwork since 3PM. The computer was responding slowly, so I had to shut it down. 

My hands are burning, so it is difficult to do the books.

Hubby and Tater got home from the shop at 4:30PM in the FMF. Tater collapsed on the floor because he was so hot. Hubby brought in all the groceries he picked up from Walmart. 

I put the groceries away. 

Hubby left & took the Jeep to go pick up Clint's truck. Then he went to the shop.

I had to call him at 5:15PM to remind him to deposit the check. He said he was leaving.

I went potty in the front spare bathroom.

I tried to take a nap, but there were noises everywhere. I unplugged the ice maker. 

I called the Desert Pain Clinic to make an appointment. I am TOTALLY sure that they are using an INDIAN service to make appointments. The stupid person kept putting me on hold without telling me. 

It took FOREVER for her to make the appointment. I have to wait another week to get the Prednisone injections in my hands. 

Hubby & Oscar brought PBJR home. They came at 4PM. They were SUPPOSED to be in Vegas picking up a truck that I arranged on Facebook Marketplace.

I gave PBJR a shower. Got her all clean from being at the shop today. She ran outside and dug around in the dog beds. 

They grabbed some drinks and left. They still had to go get the trailer. I checked at 5PM and they still were not even in Vegas yet.

Rookie cop at water plant on Falcon Ridge. Several spots smelled like sewage, at the new shopping center. At Lama. We thought a main had broken.

It was very cool today, only 67F degrees. I had brought a sweater, but it was humid out and I was hot & sweaty still. 

67F DEGREES

I carried an extra ball in my pocket in case Riley lost hers, but we walked around. Hubby wanted me to take a picture of PBJR with her "underlighting". 

PBJR WITH GREEN GLOW

PBJR saw COWS.  She stayed for quite a while, standing by the fence watching all the cows. There was a little baby drinking milk from a mommy.

We kept on walking and I finally had to put a leash on PBJR to get her to come with us. 

A car pulled up across the street and a woman raced into the bathrooms. We thought they might be walking dogs, but by the time we got to the truck, they had gone.

Clouds are outside, but the sun is over the mesa. WeatherChannel said it would rain ALL day from 6AM to 2PM, but I don't think so.

DARK CLOUDS OVER MOUNTAINS

Then I made a huge crepe for Hubby so he can put burrito fixings into it. I heated it up on the back burner, which has controls COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY SET FROM THE FRONT. OMG. What stupid man does this? Of course, a MAN would design and engineer this. ALL the knob settings need to be the same. Because people have the habit of using the same switches over and over! MUSCLE MEMORY. I HATE MALE CEOS. I HATE MALE ENGINEERS.   

I made a regular size crepe for myself. I put chicken, bacon, mozzarella, &dill sauce (made with fresh dill & sour cream).

I took a nap when Hubby came home. 

Hubby made a burrito. Even after I fed him Crepes this morning.

MORE CREPES

I woke up at 3PM. I went down to get the mail. My new hormone creams were there and had gotten warm. I put them in the fridge. 

The new SONOS MOVE had been delivered, so I brought it in and had a NOT fund time setting it up. Had to bluetooth add it to the phones, Had to add it to the SONOS app, Had to charge it. Had to find the WiFi Password. WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASS. 

I picked up dog poop outside, but Riley did not want to play BALL.

PBJR OUT ON THE PATIO

We sat out in the sunshine for a while, then came back inside.

I tried sleeping on the sofa, but the stupid cat sniffed my face, then finally curled up by my feet on top of the blanket. I woke up with the alarm 2 minutes later.

I woke up the gang. TIME TO MAKE THE DONUTS.

I got dressed. Hubby got up and went potty, let the dogs outside.

STUART ON DOG BED

At home, Hubby made bacon in the oven. We had to turn on all the fans. 

I made the perfect crepe. They were very filling. Hubby had all of his and ate 1/2 of mine. 

PERFECT CREPE

I went outside to pick up dog poop. Hubby had left his cornbread in a plastic container outside beside his chair from last night. I picked it up and gave it to him.

I threw BALL for Riley.

Hubby and I put cats in rooms. Stuart in our room with water, food, potty. Rattler went in front room. Even after calling for Robert, we could not find him. We looked everywhere. Under beds, sofas, hidey holes. 

We left in the Dually. Left dogs at home. Drove to Littlefield to get fuel. Over $6.49 now. Hubby filled up with Diesel at Maverik. It went up $1 overnight dure to LABOR DAY WEEKEND. Price Gouging. 

Then we drove back. Was going to Smith's for groceries, but they were CROWDED with old idiots. Walking everywhere into traffic, blocking the way in the parking lot. I told Hubby we will come back tomorrow at opening to avoid this mess. 

We drove to UPS where Hubby dropped off an Amazon return. 

We drove home. 

I was in so much pain when we came home, I could barely walk from the truck to the house. 

We let the cats out of the rooms. Robert was in the front room with Rattler!

Hubby made lunch for himself. I took a Gabapentin for the pain and a Prednisone. 

I fell asleep on the sofa from 10:30AM to 3PM. Because of the pain pill, I slept so long.

I cleaned the counter, put dishes in the washer and turned it on, I put clean clothes away. 

I got more Spring water from the garage and put it in the ice maker. 

PBJR SLOBBERED A HEART ON THE SOFA

We watched 1 episode of Reacher. It was disappointing.

I did bookwork for 1.5 hours. My hands are going number and it is difficult to thik to place the fingers in the correct keystrokes.

We went into the hot tub at 6PM to 6:30PM. It was 102F degrees. Hubby let it get too hot. Riley came to swim with us for a while, but then started panting. I made her get out, but she tried to walk the railing and get back inside. She fell down on the side. I thought she was dead or had broken her leg, but she popped up. She is made of rubber!

We watched another couple episodes of Ted Lasso. 

I went to bed at 8:45AM. Hubby loaded the dogs onto the bed, but did not wait for me to get in. He got on my side and decided to "SAVE THE SPACE" so the dogs would not crowd me. I got into bed. 

I slept for a while, then yelled for Hubby to come to bed.

Hubby came to bed and we both fell asleep. I slept thru the night because I had taken another painkiller Gabapentin. 

THURSDAY / SEPT 3 /NO DOG WALK / LIGHTS ON AT NEIGHBORS /

 THURSDAY

SEPTEMBER 3 2026

We were up at 4:30AM. I had turned off the alarm because I was so tired last night.

I asked Hubby to turn the A/C down because I was sweating in bed.

Hubby went potty. I let the dogs out. 

Hubby let dogs inside and laid down on the sofa. I told him that I wanted to sleep there. 

LIGHTS ARE STILL ON AT NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE.

I slept on the sofa until we got up at 6AM. I needed sleep and was hurting.

Hubby got up and let the dogs out for potty. He put out shredded cheese and tuna for cats. 

I helped Hubby had made the bed. 

Hubby made himself a burrito.

I made a hot latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself. 

I put dirty dishes in dishwasher .

Hubby sat and watched YouTube videos.

I did bookwork all morning. 

Took picture of Fall decor at front door.

FRONT DOOR FALL DECOR

Hubby walked down to the mailbox to get mail with PBJR. She was wagging her tail, all happy.

I asked Hubby to turn UP the A/C because I was freezing. I turned it off later. Nice morning. Breeze.

Hubby left at 8:30AM in the Dually.

I continued doing bookwork. I put laundry in dryer.

I started the dishwasher. 

I let dogs outside. I put away clean dishes. 

I made more hot tea. 

I vacuumed the cat litter in the armoire. I cleaned the tray from the armoire outside by the hose. 

Lots of cars passed by going up the street. A UTV drove past. VERY LOUDLY.

I put away the cat tray in the armoire. I cleaned the front bathroom. 

I put out my pumpkin in the front of the house for Fall. The FALL sign was broken, so Hubby has to put another screw in it. I put out the spiders that Hubby made me.

Sad to think that once we are dead, KRL will sell or donate all this stuff that we lovingly made and cherished. 

Hubby got home at 4PM and I told him about complaining to HOA about neighbors' lights and he said that his customer is married to the woman that handles this stuff at the HOA, so he called his customer.  The guy was really nice. His wife was not so nice. She never replied back to me at first even though it was handed off to her, and when she did reply, she was rude and abrupt. Nobody teaches these people how to handle customer service.

STUPID NEIGHBORS LIGHTS. TURNED ON BY EVEN STUPIDER REALTOR

We soaked in the hot tub. It was VERY HOT. Riley swam with us for a while. Then she got out and dried off. PBJR and Tater had come out with us because it was nicely cool. 

We all went back inside and dried off. Hubby put the cover on the hot tub. 

Watched some more episodes of Ted Lasso.

We went to bed at 9PM.
