Some Bad News, Folks…
The Beast got off the phone with the rug installers and he was pissed! It seems the company either only has one installation crew OR they are majorly busy. Somehow, I suspect just one crew to keep down the expenses but…..the bad news is that we won’t have our rug installed until Wednesday. NEXT WEEK Wednesday.
Now you have to understand that we have a shitload of things stashed out in our living room. The bookcase, the shelving unit the Beast made for me, the huge case of DVD’s and CD’s, all the things that were on the walls, all the things that were in the bookcase (all in containers with no tops) and the table the Beast made for me for my crafts are all out there or stashed in the guest room. It’s a disaster as far as having people in to see us. Plus, poor Baron just can’t find a place to lay down in the guest room or even in the living room if he’s not right next to the Beast’s recliner or at the front door.
Of course, he could always lay down on his bedding in the bedroom but that would mean he couldn’t bark at anyone walking down the street or strange vehicles. He’s not happy either.
The Beast DID end up putting another coat of paint on two of my walls (I told you in an earlier post that I thought he would do it because he didn’t like the *way it looked*) I have to admit, it did eliminate some oddball swipes of paint that you could trace in the light. Now all that is gone and the walls look great.
Chewlee got in trouble today because she was playing in the halls. She obviously had gone to the bathroom and took her sweet time returning. She’s just a kid but she has to learn that she must adhere to the rules. Her mom was here (and her *daddy*) almost as soon as she walked in the door. She cried because Peppa Pig came on and she was being dragged away. She would have to do her spelling words and clean her room her mother told her. Like all kids, Chewlee hates cleaning her room. I keep telling her to put things away when she is done with them but they never listen. I remember what an ordeal it was with my kids. The Princess was actually pretty good about that stuff. She didn’t like a messy room so that helped since I wouldn’t do anything except pick up dirty clothes. We never did get her a hamper for her room or there wouldn’t have been that for me to do. But I think she felt like that partly because her mother was such a slob. When her mother cleaned, she was extraordinary but most of the time, she was on drugs and didn’t give a shit.
The Beast and I decided on hot dogs, Chicago style, for dinner today with a side of potato chips. Funny but I really didn’t have a taste for them and the Beast didn’t understand why not. I told him if I got hungry later, I would have a bottle of my Glucerna (which isn’t bad, btw). I love Chicago style hot dogs. It just upsets me that you cannot find poppy seed hot dog buns here in the South. I kid you not. I mean, it’s not like you can’t get the seeds out from between your teeth. You always have to check or you end up with a very ugly smile!
Hot as hell today. Another day where we almost hit 90 depending on what weather you checked it on. Our temperature gauge that the Beast installed (electronic, with inside and outside gauges) said we went over 90 here in our area. But it all adds up to HOT and SWEATY outside. Even Baron was out and right back in after he relieved himself. No inspecting the area around the deck or up on the deck sniffing the wind.
Hope you had some decent weather during any travels you had to make outside. I also hope that you are blessed with air conditioning if you have hot weather right now. I know our Aussie friends have the different seasons at opposite times of the year from us here in the Northern hemisphere. They haven’t suffered through their summer yet, poor babies.
Love you all. Hope you have a great Hump Day (don’t you just love that commercial with the Camel?) Mike! Mike! What day is this? (The answer is *hump day*, if you haven’t guessed). Cracks me up every time I see it on TV. Bratfink and I both react the same way to it. If you see it, think of us.
