Good morning. I wish I could say that I slept better but I did not. It is starting to get on my reserve nerve. I am going to do the push mowing today and get some stuff done around the house so maybe tonight I will be so tired, that slumber will be easier. Fingers crossed.

Yep, after checking around a little more, I wanted to return and get that pressure washer. It cranked and sounded fantastic. It is a gas-pressure washer. Today we are going to get a new hose for it and give it a try. Ken used to have one before that flood he went through so he knows how to use it and will show me. That is the best way for me to learn. I told him I have a whole list of stuff he can clean if he wants to. If not, you know this o'l girl will do it.

My aunt came down on her lawnmower to visit us yesterday. A good thing because I cleaned it off with my compressor and Ken said her tires looked a little low and put some air in them. She was thrilled to have someone helping her. I am so glad Ken is taking time with her too.

Thursday night is Bike Night at the bar on the other side of town. That is where I went last week and had such fun. They had pizza and wings for free so that is what we had for supper. There were not as many people there and they did not have a band like Ken said they usually do but it was still fun watching the bike games they play. Ken tried to get me to ride behind him while holding an egg on a spoon in my mouth. You go over a speed bump and the winner does not lose their egg. Ken takes train tracks and bumps really well and that bike is pretty smooth anyway so he said we could win but I wouldn't do it. Maybe one day I will join in but not today.

Ken said we were going to do yard work. I told him he did not have to do it because I didn't mind. He said he was not even going to respond to my comment. I guess that means he is planning to mow. Like I said, I just think men like driving big machines. Anyway, I am going to let him and be grateful for the help.

Fri-YAY everyone!!!! Have a great day. :wub:

Good morning Sara :wub:

I can’t believe the time! :eek:
Good morning Dale :wub:

The time I posted? Haha, wake up was worse. I was up a little after 4 and was afraid I’d miss my alarm. :lol: My appt was at 6:10. In and out which made me happy. As she called me in, she told the people waiting (with no appts) it would be around two hours. :yawn:

I think it will be early to bed tonight.

    Hi Sara, actually I meant how late I slept :laugh:
    Glad you were able to get in and out quickly, maybe a brief nap would help get you through the day. :)

    We got Bela this morning, her birthday was this past week. Our gift was the cedar hope chest we had our BIL make for her, I think she likes it.

    Oh haha.

    Awwww. I hope she had a wonderful birthday and that she adores that chest forever.

    No nap, but definitely calling it quits early!

    Hope you had a lovely day, Dale :)
    It was nice enough Sara. :)

    I’ve got my hope chest that I received my 16th birthday still. It could use a little cosmetic work but it’s still in pretty good condition.

    Yesterday was a busy day. I don't remember if I posted or not. That's getting pretty bad.

    My aunt and I went for a short walk and went up to a neighbor's house to say hello because she was sitting on the front porch. I have played with her dog for years and fed it animal crackers. I am not sure why but the dog jumped up and bit my aunt's arm. I have NEVER seen this dog act aggressive. It scared my aunt to death and also the woman we went to visit. I took her back to her house and tended to the wound. I went back today to change the bandage and it looks good. I see no infection but you know I will keep an eye on it. Bless her heart.

    I told Ken to go riding his bike yesterday because I thought it was a good idea for us to have our own time. He had more fun than me because I just did a load of laundry.

    He called and said there was going to be a band at this bar he knew about. Since my joints were predicting rain, I told him I would meet him there.

    I showed him the storm that was coming and told him we should leave but he said he would be fine. He's a big boy so I stayed and enjoyed the band and talking to this woman who had breast cancer years ago. Anyway, when we got home, I was the dry one. It did not seem to bother him at all. He had said he was a little hungry earlier so I fixed him a big loaded baked potato. I figured that would be warming.

    We went to eat at the Moose Lodge tonight. Have not been there in over a week. Their special tonight was Pizza casserole. I was not sure what to expect but it was really tasty. It was pizza-tasting sauce mixed in with penne pasta. Of course, it had cheese and pepperoni's on top. Finally, instead of stuffing myself, I brought half home. It will make a good lunch for Ken tomorrow.

    Tonight was the first time I had seen Ken in anything other than t-shirts. He put on a black shirt with a collar and oh my, he looked nice. I think he tried to fix up because I had on my leopard print shirt, black leggings and black half boots that were sparkly. I wish I had asked someone to take a picture of us. Looks like I would have taken a pic of him since I take so many pictures. Guess I wasn't thinking right.

    With all the rain from the storm, I imagine tomorrow will be pretty low-key. I need to rest up because on Monday Ken needs to go to the DMV in TN to get his license renewed. He has to take his birth certificate to get the Real ID that is going to be required there in 2025. I am glad I already have mine. I had to take a bunch of paperwork. This will just be a quick trip and nowhere close to his family. He said we would go back there in a couple of weeks. Good thing I like going places.

    Hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday. Guess I am going to go read for a while. I hope I get some sleep but I am feeling like a toss-and-turn night. I could be wrong. That happens occasionally.

    Good morning. Where's breakfast? I'm just futzing with you dale. Hope you are getting some sleep. I did go to sleep pretty easy but I was very much correct when I said I thought it was going to be a toss-and-turn kinda night.

    Be back later. :wub:
    Good morning Rat2 :wub: I’m sorry you had a restless night, I think the aches and pains we experience with weather changes causes a lot of that.

    Lol I’m going to hunt up breakfast now. ;)

    Good morning Rat2 and Dale :wub:

    Hope your Aunt is still doing ok. Sorry you didn’t sleep well.

    Thank you for breakfast and quotes, Dale :wub: You just reminded me what I’m going to have today…..breakfast burrito. :)

    Dh picked up some spaghetti squash yesterday. I need to get my rear in gear and get a new batch of meatballs made. “Spaghetti” and meatballs for dinner. Hope everyone has a great day.

    Oh! DD sent me a couple of breakfast burritos yesterday, they were very good but I could only eat half of one. Bela and DH had to help me :laugh:

    We had a rain storm last night! :w00t:

    The spaghetti squash and meatballs were a hit. I also tossed a couple apples in the air fryer (used the bake function) with oatmeal/br sugar/cinnamon crumble on top for dessert. They were really good but they could have used some vanilla ice cream.

    Ugggg Sunday night again. Feels like I just said that, like what, yesterday ::giggles::

    Hope you all had a peaceful day!! Sweet dreams :wub:
