Good morning! I hope your day is going to be a great one.

My friend Janet’s husband, Steve, is going in for hip replacement surgery. Poor guy… not only needs the hip replaced, but the knee as well, but they want to do it in two separate operations.  I will go at lunch to let the dogs out to potty and give them some moral support as they are not used to their momma being gone for the whole day.

Spent Saturday running around doing “honey-dos”. Had to take Ken’s truck to the service station that does tire repairs to get a nail removed and a plug or patch put on. While they did that, I ran two dogs to the vet’s, took them home, then took my van down to the oil change place to have the oil changed and transmission serviced. Stopped at the Family Dollar for cleaning supplies and the pet store for bird food and dog cookies, then finally back home to finish up laundry and clean up the kitchen and sweep/mop the floors. It was teeth cleaning day for the dogs — something they are not fond of having done, so it’s a bit of a struggle and is especially hard on my back. By the time Ken got home at 3:00 pm, I was pretty exhausted, but couldn’t stop. He had bought a new pen for the dogs on his way home, so we put that together, cleaned the runs and fed the dogs, then cleaned ourselves and he took us out to Red Lobster for dinner. We both collapsed when we got home from dinner.

Sunday was a bit lazy for me as all I did was finish up the laundry, groom a couple of dogs, and do 3 of the 4 assignments for my lesson. Got stuck on the 3rd assignment, so needed to stop for awhile and let it sink in. Ken got home from work about 1pm and flopped on the couch for a nap. I read a book while he napped. We ordered take out from the Mexican Restaurant in Honea Path, and while I went to pick it up, Ken fed the house dogs. I fed the kennel dogs after we ate, then went to struggle with assignment 3 some more. Still don’t have it working exactly right, so haven’t submitted it yet.

Did I tell you I finally got my DTS job to work on the ECon project?? Well, I have. Now I have to complete the coding of what to do with the information gathered by the DTS job, but that’s kind of the easy part.

Have a great day!

Love to all,
