Midnight Snack

Monday, February 6th, 2012

Well, Roo has done it again.  Last night, after going to play Bingo, and actually winning something, I came home and let Roo out of her crate to play for awhile.  Being as I was tired from a long day, I brought several of her toys into the bedroom with us and placed them on the bed to occupy her so that I could go to sleep.  I figured she would play for awhile, tire out and go to sleep also.

Boy was I wrong!!  I finally fell asleep about 11:00 p.m.  I could feel her wrestling around beside me and did not think anything of it, believing she was playing with one of her toys.  I woke up fully about midnight to find my bed filled with memory foam and black rubber.  I then found what was left of my slipper lying on the floor beside the bed.

Needless to say, I was not happy at all.  Roo got placed in her crate, after a stern scolding, and I proceeded to spend the next half an hour cleaning up the mess in my bed and on the floor.  I then got back into bed and went back to sleep until 4:30 a.m., when Roo woke me up to go outside for her scheduled morning outing.  She seems to wake up every morning at 4:30 to go out, no matter what time she goes to bed.  I then got back into bed, set my alarm for 6:00 a.m., because I really needed that extra hour of sleep and I went to work a little blurry-eyed this morning.

Time

Time, we never have enough, we have too much time on our hands.  It can go either way.  I always seem to be on the short end of time.  I work a full time job, have a puppy at home that is the equivalent of having a 2 year old, clean houses on the side.  I never seem to have enough time to get everything done in a day that I plan to do when my feet hit the floor in the morning.  Even when I was not working full time, I still never seemed to get everything done.  Everything took too much time!!!

 

Electronics, what a pain…

My new puppy is growing so fast!  I want to capture every new thing on video and share it with all my friends!!  She is so cute and lovable (most of the time anyway).  As she was doing a new “thing” for the first time yesterday I, of course, had to get it on video.  So, I grabbed my digital camcorder and when I tried to turn it on, the battery was dead.  I had not charged it.  My problem is that I have a limited number of outlets that are accessible to charge all of my electronic “gadgets”.  I needed a USB battery charger so I can plug them all in at the same time in one location (such as my dining room table).  That way I would not have to hunt for each item when I want to use it, trying to remember what room I laid it to charge.

So I hit the good old Internet and low and behold, I found a  site where I could get a USB battery charger!!!    The prices seemed reasonable enough and they had so many items to choose from.  I  I cannot wait until it gets here here, so I can continue to capture Roo’s antics to share with the world.

Another new challenge

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

Well, Christmas has come and gone.  I had a nice, quiet Christmas this year.  I didn’t decorate too much, just a small tree on the table top and a few other things.

I went to see my podiatrist about my foot; I called two weeks ago, when it started bothering me, but with the holidays and all, it was awhile until they could get back to me.  He took an X-ray of the foot and suggested a walking cast.

So, I am now on an air cast for a month.  I hope that this will help and I won’t need to get a shot of Cortizone (very painful) or worse yet, have surgery to remove the bone spur.  That would mean another month on crutches and I still have to walk the puppy, clean house, go shopping for groceries and all the other things in life.  Wish me luck!!!

Just another day in paradise

Well, can my month get any worse?  Now, I have a bone spur on my heel and am on crutches.  It has been there for awhile, but I have not gone to the doctor for it for a variety of reasons (see post entitled “Sickness”).  So, with the holidays coming up, I am on crutches, depressed because of the loss of Pooh Bear and still sick from my sinus infection.

What next; or do I dare ask?  It sure is hard walking a new puppy while on crutches, but it is a new challenge to overcome, and I like a challenge.

I guess I will just push on and take life as it comes.  It can’t get much worse, can it?  I hope not!!
