Sunday started out with the Cresteds whinging that they needed to go out at 2:00 am. I tried…I really TRIED to ignore them, but 15 minutes was long enough, so I got out of bed and let them out. All but Kabuki obligingly peed and wanted straight back into their warm crates. He, on the other hand, with typical Crested puppy abandon left on a quest. I don’t know where he went — it wasn’t to check out the deer grazing on the lawn as they only looked up long enough to determine there was no threat before returning to whatever feast they found in the middle of my yard. So I called and searched and rummaged under things and called and whistled for nearly an hour. Then I got the bright idea to bring Payne out. She wasn’t one of the previous group as she’s a good girl who sleeps through the night, but hearing me calling and whistling had her up and curious as to what was going on, so I took her outside, she trotted ’round for a few seconds before squatting to go and in mid squat, here comes the missing Kabuki. With everyone safely returned to their nest, I could climb back into mine and resume my interrupted slumber.

My next awakening was at 8:45 to Payne pouncing on my head. Ken had let her out to wake me up undoubtedly because he was ready for breakfast. 30 minutes later, we were on the road to Anderson to our favorite breakfast stop — the Golden Corral. When we finished there, we went over to Sam’s club to check out their bargains and I found a monitor that I could afford, so we bought it along with a new wireless keyboard and mouse for Ken. Now everything is installed and working nicely, I have a load of laundry going, a dishwasher load going and Ken is loading up the garbage to take to the trash bin. Once he’s done with that, he’s informed me that he’s parking in front of the t.v. for the rest of the afternoon.

That’s fine with me — then I won’t feel guilty for playing on the computer 🙂

Oh — the photo shows you the new floor — I think it’s gorgeous!

Well, the dryer is calling, so I will heed it’s call.
