• Boring, Boring

  TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

  Today was finish up and clean up for what was started yesterday.   Then it was just do a couple loads of wash and either fold or hang things up as they came out of the dryer.  The Beast washed the electric blanket yesterday.  Rather than hang it out to dry today, I discovered he had put it in the dryer.  Now we will have to check out if it is still working or not.  I’m almost afraid to try it.
  

  While the Beast finished washing the floors, I put the various other items he had used away, including the vacuum cleaner.  He ran up to the store to pick up a few things and came home with all kinds of cookies, some grapes, some chili sauce, bread, some great rolls that we use for hamburgers and other types of sandwiches (the Beast discovered them a couple weeks ago) BUT…..he originally went to get more milk and some juice.  I had to send him back for them AND some chicken for Baron’s meals.
  

  I was going to have Chewlee for the night but it turned out that she was cranky and tired and the Princess was tired when she got off work so she just put Chewlee to bed.  Johnnycakes was meeting up with some friends so I guess he went out alone.  We will get Chewlee tomorrow when her mother goes to work.  I think the Princess only works a regular shift so it will only be for four or five hours depending on how quickly they can get the customers out once the restaurant closes.  Been there, done that!
  

  
  The Beast went to some community center not far from the house to meet up with people from his church.  They were having a get-together with food and he’s all for that!  My feet were just too tender from a flareup of the neuropathy.  I knew it was going to be a bad day when I woke up to go to the bathroom and my feet were almost too tender to get me there.  I took another of the pills I have for that but it didn’t really help.  It didn’t help until late today (after taking 3 pills and two pain pills…not all at once but at the prescribed times).  I did take an extra pill but the doctor told me I could….he said I would have to take a very large amount of these pills (around 10 at once and several times a day) before I could overdose on them.  I will have to call my doctor if this continues and find out if he wants me to increase the number of times I take the med for it or perhaps I need to change it.
  

  For several hours, it was just me, Baron and the TV.  I watched some old SciFi movies on TCM (Them, *The Thing From Outer Space*….the original, non-shape shifting version….then Starship Troopers on another channel).  I love the movies but I could tell Baron was totally bored.  He moved from room to room, floor to floor, up on the Beast’s recliner and then he pulled the Beast’s pillows off the bed and put his head on them and fell asleep.  If I hadn’t gone to look for Baron, I wouldn’t have known until the Beast went in there and discovered where his pillows were since Baron was on the opposite side of the bed from where he normally sleeps.    I also had to go on that side to put away some of the Beast’s folded underwear and the socks I had mated.  It tickled me because at one time Baron would have jumped up on the bed and just slept on the Beast’s side.  However, we’ve broken him of that bad habit (I hated the hair all over, too) so I guess he figured he could still use the pillows.  When I told the Beast, he just laughed….but he DID shake his pillows well before he went to bed.
  

  My life can be boring, boring, boring in the eyes of most people but to me, it’s peaceful.  No Beast.  I can eat what and when I please.  I drink my coffee or make myself a drink (the Beast bought me some vodka last week) …I think I’ve made three drinks so far….LOL.  I usually have a drink with Bratfink.  We don’t like to drink alone.    But we will if necessary!
  

  Love you all.  Hope you are enjoying your weekend.  Drive safe.
