Kevin's Hetero MFM Poly-Fi V

1:03 p.m., Wednesday the 3rd

For awhile there I was hoping she could make it 24 hours without puking. She almost did, but then she threw up once. Things do seem to have improved marginally. She's not so scared, she's not crying, which, is more her normal self, she is not a vocal kitty. That's Lady's job.

Right now both cats are snoozing by me, in front of my window. Rainee's breathing looks more normal, though perhaps not completely normal. She hasn't been coughing.
 
4:36 p.m., Thursday the 4th

She made it! 24 hours without barfing! In fact it's looking like she'll make it to 36 hours. I'm hoping she's mostly out of the woods, but I'm not taking anything for granted. She could always take an unexpected dive, I'm just hoping that won't happen.

Last night, BH and I watched S4E5 of Better Call Saul. He's off work tomorrow, and he got home early (c. 3:30 p.m.), so we might watch something tonight.
 
4:25 p.m., Friday the 5th

Rainee's made it for 48 hours now, going on 60 hours. She seems to be doing okay now, feeling much better; I think I'll even take that for granted a little.

Brother-Husband drank about half a bottle of the African cream, and got quite drunk, so, we didn't watch anything. Today, Eddie had a private Barn Hunt class; only Snowbunny was allowed to go with him due to Covid. She'll probably get back here at around 6:00 p.m. or later. Not sure how dinner will be handled. Dinner last night was Subway. SB had a crappy day at work yesterday, so they let her off early today. She and I did some shopping at Safeway yesterday.
 
2:21 p.m., Saturday the 6th

For dinner last night we had salads and pizza poppers in the oven. Afterwards, BH and I watched S4E6. Tonight, we'll have pasta for dinner. SB is also baking cookies for us. White chocolate, macadamia nut, I believe.
 
4:47 p.m., Sunday the 7th

The cookies are really really good. I don't know what we'll have for dinner tonight. We were going to take a walk today, but it's been raining. Last night, BH and I watched S4E7.
 
4:13 p.m., Monday the 8th

As it turns out, we went on that walk after all. After that, we walked over to Pho Yelm and sat down there for dinner! First time we ate *in* a restaurant in like, forever.

It was a worknight, so we did not watch anything. And we probably won't tonight (but we'll see). Today, the cleaning ladies came over. In the future, in part due to our financial situation, they'll just do my bedroom and the two bathrooms.

That's all I have to tell you.

I had a dentist appointment yesterday. I did good as far as not having any cavities. Not so good as far as my grinding is concerned. I've got to do better about wearing my nightguard every night. That's one thing I hate about starting up with a new dentist; I always have to deal with their shock when they see how ground down my back teeth are. The crowns I once had back there are now gone. :(

On our way back from the dentist, we stopped at Subway to pick up dinner. Tonight we are having a tuna casserole. After dinner I am going to brush and put my nightguard in. I've got to, I've just got to.
 
2:19 p.m., Thursday the 11th

So yes, I brushed and wore my nightguard, yay ... now I just have to repeat that performance every day going forward. Okay I admit it, I hate brushing, with a passion. It's a PITA. You would think I could stand it just once a day, and technically I can. It's all about talking myself into it.

SB is taking Eddie to a dog thing (possibly Barn Hunt) at Argus Ranch. Due to the Covid situation, I can't go with her. BH will heat up some of the tuna casserole, for both of us, after he gets home tonight. He's off tomorrow, so maybe we'll watch an episode.
 
2:03 p.m., Friday the 12th

I talked myself into brushing again, that's two days in a row, now let's see if we can make it three. We didn't watch anything because BH had to get up today for a job interview. I can't tell whether he got the job, it sounds like they are going to email him and let him know.

One of the cats threw up today. Probably Rainee. :(
 
3:59 p.m., Saturday the 13th

Brother-Husband and Snowbunny went to get eye exams today; also they may be doing something to celebrate their anniversary. I know I'm not included in that, but it doesn't bug me too much, mostly I'm just bummed that I'm stuck here in the house. I'm not real big on anniversaries and holiday type stuff, I just like to go out to go out. On the other hand, I probably have a mess waiting for me on Facebook, one of my older brother's right-wing coworkers has challenged me to a duel about Black Lives Matter. The object of the game is to see who can Google the most statistics on whether the Black Lives Matter problem is just all in my imagination. Sigh, I probably shouldn't have let myself get sucked into that argument.

Alcohol sounds really good right now. We have maybe a half a bottle of vodka in the fridge, and I'd love to drink it. But I have promised that I would be good, and I don't want SB to get bent out of shape at me. So no drinky-drink for me. :(

Last night, BH and I watched the last two episodes of Better Call Saul Season Four. Now we have to wait for SB to bootleg Season Five for us.

I brushed and wore my nightguard, that's three nights in a row. Going for four ...

When you argue with the prejudiced, you will always lose. They hold their beliefs too dear.

Wanna do Dry July with me? I'm seriously contemplating it this year, if nothing but to save money.

Well done on the night guard. I've been noticing I've been clenching my teeth even more this past week. Not fully grinding, but certainly enough to make my muscles sore. I already have one side of my face significantly bigger in the jaw muscle than the other, it sucks to be this asymmetrical.

Hi Evie, whassup.

I've now made it four nights in a row ... going for five ...

Many years ago, I developed some extreme soreness in my jaw from all the clenching. The soreness has receded, but I still clench and grind. Particularly at night. It's a side effect of being stressed-out all the time.

My alcohol commitment is to only drink when someone gives me a drink and SB okays it. There are exceptions to that, particularly my birthday and Christmas. I wouldn't want to go a whole month without drinking, but I wish you well on your Dry July endeavors. ;) We had drinks with dinner a couple of nights ago. It was mighty fine.

That prejudiced guy seems to have backed off a bit, although I haven't checked Facebook today so who knows if he's got his second wind. He's prejudiced and he's downright mean. He likes to smack talk, his way of challenging liberal bleeding hearts like me to a duel. Going by his avatar, he appears to be a Marine, of young age. I definitely couldn't change his opinions. But, for the benefit of other folks who may come across that thread, I make the sacrifice. My entries in it are getting lots of likes ... :)

BH and I watched the first two episodes of Better Call Saul Season Five last night. This concludes my riport.
 
3:49 p.m., Monday the 15th

Five ... going for six. I probably won't post about that going forward, I'm hoping I've established the habit.

I think the prejudiced guy is done fighting me. He hadn't posted anything new yesterday. Sigh, one less thing, right?

Dinner last night was (vegetarian) chili over a potato, with toppings (cheese, onions, jalapeños). One of my favorites. We didn't watch anything. BH was feeling a bit ill after he and SB got back yesterday. (They went out for their anniversary.) They ate lunch at a place called Farm to Table and BH said it was really good, he wants me to try it in the future.

Tonight SB has a thing for Eddie at Argus Ranch, late-ish. She and I will eat dinner early (at 4:30 p.m.?) before she leaves (at 6:00 p.m.?), she'll get us takeout from El Rey Burro (yay!). BH will get takeout for himself on his way home. That's the plan anyway.
 
4:15 p.m., Tuesday the 16th

As it turned out, SB ordered something for BH too. He had tacos. I had my usual, their veggie burrito -- really good. SB had, what she called, something "like an open-face burrito." BH got home shortly before SB left. We didn't watch anything. As far as I know, BH isn't feeling ill anymore. This concludes my riport.
 
5:23 p.m., Thursday the 18th

So, BH is still working for Lowe's, but he no longer does deliveries. Now he is working in receiving. Which he doesn't seem to mind so far, the only bad thing is, he took a pay cut. He has a manager that wants to help him, so, maybe he'll get a raise?

SB went to see the oral surgeon today, not sure what he was going to do, but I'd say she's been gone longer than expected. Ope! She just got home.

That's all I have to tell you for today.

Feeling you on the teeth grinding/nightguard thing - I an terrible at wearing my nightguard and my dentist has a fit every visit at how much I have lost (I never had crowns but big fillings in my back molars). I've tried a couple of night guards that fit on my top teeth but, something away that I breath at night (I have sleep apnea and don't wear my CPAP either!) means that my mouth gets super dry when I wear them. This time I got one that molds to my LOWER teeth and this seems to work better - but I am still bad at it.

I should have an incentive - my teeth are now more sensitive when I chew, but Dude found me a toothpaste (Sensodyne Repair and Restore - which isn't, apparently, sold in stores here in the states) that seems to help. (Weird thing is that you are not supposed to rinse it out - which is hard to remember!)

PS. Tuna Casserole is my FAVORITE comfort food - too bad the boys don't like it!
 
10:32 a.m., Friday the 19th

The tuna casserole we have is okay, but not a favorite for me. It's mostly tuna and rice, with green beans, and what I think are fried breaded onion pieces on top.

I'm still doing much better about brushing and putting my bite guard in. It goes on my top teeth, I don't think I would like one to go on my bottom teeth. I don't mind wearing the one I have, I just don't like brushing.

I have slight apnea, but not enough to wear a CPAP, thank gods. They did a sleep test on me to determine that. Like, over seven years ago.

I have a special restoring mouthwash for when I brush. I rinse with it at the very end, and leave it without rinsing with water. I do get good reviews when I'm at the dentist, about how clean they say my teeth are.

This concludes my riport.

Happy summer solstice everyone. :)

BH and SB left earlier today, I think to go to the beach, where SB is doing some crabbing. I was not invited, so I'm stuck in the house, and I don't get to drink the bottle of vodka that's in the fridge. :(

Last night, BH and I watched the third and fourth episodes of Better Call Saul Season Five.
 
Happy Winter solstice, Kevin! From the cold and dark antipodes xx
 
12:21 p.m., Sunday the 21st

Oh crap, I forgot to take the Southern Hemisphere into account. :eek: Sorry about that. Happy winter solstice to you too Evie!

Last night, BH and I watched S5E5.
