Things have been going better since last entry, I took Eddie out today and he went #2 while outside. Amazing. His water dish now sits contiguous to one corner of his pen, reducing the chance of him spilling it again, but in any case he has not spilled it again.

Sorry I haven't posted here for a few days, I was having trouble with my computer, it went to the black screen of death and I didn't know how to get it to shut off, shy of unplugging it and waiting for the battery to run down. Amazingly, when Snowbunny got home (an hour or two later) she was able to fix all the problems. The fix took awhile though, the computer had to do some big updates. So that all set me back a few hours, plus the forum has been somewhat busier than usual lately. I think I'm caught up for the moment, but I'm likely to fall behind again tomorrow, Saturdays are mostly for me and SB to do stuff together.
 
As long as it's just life as usual and not you all snowed in with no power and wolves howling outside, then no worries.

Haha, no the weather isn't quite that bad, actually most of the snow has melted. Over the next week, the temperatures are predicted to get up into the lower 40's during the day, although they will drop down to freezing at night. I guess the important thing is, I still have WiFi. :)
 
4:10 p.m., Monday the 18th

Yesterday the three of us ended up going on an all-day road trip. At first it was just going to be BH and SB, but then I talked SB into bringing me along. The dog also went, and handled it pretty well other than barfing a couple of times ...
 
5:52 p.m., Tuesday the 19th

A couple of days ago, Snowbunny came down with something. I don't know if she's still feeling sick, I hope not. She had I think a dental appointment today, just got home from that. I don't know what the plan for dinner is.
 
4:20 p.m., Wednesday the 20th

Dinner was a chicken sandwich, a small salad, and some avacado slices. Tonight, dinner will be corned beef and cabbage. I'm *really* hungry and looking forward to it. A guy is supposed to show up at about 4:30 to I think give us an estimate on a fence. After he leaves is probably when we'll eat. Hopefully he won't be here for long ...

BH and SB both got home at a little after 4:00. I forgot to ask SB how she's feeling but she seems to be feeling better. This concludes my riport.
 
1:50 p.m., Thursday the 21st

So Snowbunny thought the corned beef was okay but not great. I thought it was great. About half an hour after dinner, Brother-Husband and I watched GoT:S3E8.
 
2:31 p.m., Friday the 22nd

No episodes last night. For dinner, SB said I could have the rest of the corned beef, BH and SB had TV dinners.

Shortly before BH and SB got home, Eddie got the runs and made a mess. Apparently I was to blame, as I had gave Eddie a pig ear earlier in the day. That's fine with me, at least I didn't know about the mess so, I didn't have to be the one who cleaned it up. That works for me.

As far as I know Eddie has done better today so far. When I got up this morning, I found that he had gone #2 in his litter box. Good boy!
 
11:47 a.m., Sunday the 24th

I can't think of much to tell ... It's been a pretty typical weekend so far. No special plans today. Last night BH and I watched GoT:S3E9.

I've had more stress than usual these last couple of days, scared of "everything and nothing." Had at least one nightmare last night (that I can remember).
 
1:16 p.m., Monday the 25th

No episodes yesterday, but during the day BH and I did watch a couple of movies ... Fahrenheit 11/9, and the Story of Queen: Mercury Rising. For dinner we ate at Pho Yelm.

Last night I had a dream about serving a second mission for the church. I have had variations of this dream many, many times over the years, more often in recent years. No idea why. Maybe I enjoyed my experience as a missionary more than I thought I did. Maybe there were things left unresolved for me. Maybe I thought I could do a better job if I had a second shot at it. Certainly I take it as a sign that my time as a missionary had a huge impact on me. [shrug] It is what it is ...
 
Sounds like it was a pleasent dream at least, not like my back in high school dreams.

Where did you do your mission?

I did my mission in the Detroit Metro area, 1985-1986. One baptism. ;) I goofed off during a lot of that mission, but there were also times when I worked really hard. It was an intense experience. I would be scared to try it again (even if I still believed in the church's teachings), but I guess in spite of that I'm glad I did it. Overall a positive experience.
 
3:17 p.m., Wednesday the 27th

Tomorrow is my next doctor appointment, I am more than a little nervous about it, they will record my weight while I am there. I have been working hard on eating less, it will be depressing if I find out I have failed. It's still really hard to fast until dinner, maybe a little bit easier, but today for one is pretty difficult.

Snowbunny has come down with a sinus infection, it got bad enough yesterday that she left work early and went to urgent care. She is taking an antibiotic now, and was going to leave work early again today if she wasn't feeling any better. She hasn't come home yet, so things must have improved a little bit. [hope hope hope]

As far as I know the dog hasn't made any messes today, I haven't bothered to check for a few hours and I am selfishly willing to let SB (and/or BH) be the next one to check (and deal with the problem). Yesterday Eddie piddled in three wrong places. I cleaned up one of those messes. At least he didn't go #2.

Thus and so is my riport for today.
 
2:49 p.m., Thursday the 28th

In our pantry, there are some grainy chocolate chip cookies. I am really craving one of those cookies right now. But I am forcing myself not to partake. Please, let my weight be less at the doctor's office today.

Snowbunny says we'll leave here at about 4:00 p.m., the appointment is at 5:00 p.m., and the doctor's office is in Olympia. After the appointment we will eat somewhere, possibly Chipotle Mexican Grill (where I am craving one of those giant burritos). I assume we'll get some kind of takeout for Brother-Husband; I don't know what time we'll get home.

Eddie's been acting pretty good today, as far as I know. Last night, after BH and SB got home, I guess he piddled in a few wrong places, including right on one of his toys. Which kind of sounds like he was marking his territory, I don't know.
 
5:09 p.m., Friday the 1st

My weight was 209.0 (or possibly 207.0, I can't remember for sure). For me, that's definitely an improvement. I wonder if I could ever get down below 200. I used to weigh 190, back in about Y2K. 180 many years before that, even 170. I'm pretty darn sure I'll never get back down that far, but less than 200 would be really nice.

We ate at Chipotle, it was most enjoyable. We also stopped at Safeway, I bought a six pack of Angry Orchard for BH for Metamour Day. SB and I might be going shopping tonight, there's less time for it tomorrow as SB will be taking Eddie to obedience class. How I wish they could teach him to stop piddling on the floor, :(

Last night I ate three of those chocolate chip cookies, that is all that was left. The doctor appointment was actually 5:25 p.m., SB had it confused with another appointment.
 
11:47 a.m., Sunday the 3rd

My stress levels have been going up for the last couple of days, I'm in super bad shape by now and I really hope things will start to improve. No special plans today, although we may go on a walk later and word is, we'll eat out for dinner. I guess that helps, stuff that gets me out of the house, kind of a distraction. Also the cats are here with me, Rainee's right here next to me. That helps.

Yesterday I went with SB for the obedience class. It turns out they rescheduled us for next week, but no one called us to inform us. So, the lady gave us a $15 discount for the class.
 
11:44 a.m., Monday the 4th

We didn't go on a walk but we did eat out for dinner, I got to choose the place so I chose Puerto Vallarta which is pretty close to us. After we got back, BH and I watched GoT:S4E1.

My stress levels are somewhat reduced, although I am certainly not looking forward to cleaning up Eddie's messes later in the week.
 
12:00 p.m., Tuesday the 5th

We had hot dogs for dinner yesterday, plus some kind of cheese bites with artichoke, plus some diced tomato and some sweet peppers. Snowbunny is usually the one that prepares dinner, and this was no exception. It was a bit on the late side, as she had I think an eye appointment earlier. So, no episodes.

Brother-Husband is off again today, I think he goes back to work tomorrow. Some guys came over to do an estimate on a fence we want them to install, BH was here to talk to them about what we have in mind, plus one more group of guys will come and do an estimate in a couple of hours, and he will talk to them.

This concludes my riport.
 
4:36 p.m., Wednesday the 6th

SB got home late again yesterday, I'm not sure why (I didn't ask). She did not want to do anything involved for dinner, so she heated up a TV dinner for me (Amy's Mattar Paneer), had leftovers herself (I can't remember what), and BH made himself a salad. We did not watch anything.

SB usually gets home somewhere around 4:00 p.m., she is not home yet so a little bit late at least tonight. BH just got home, which is early for him.

As far as I know the dog has been behaving lately. Gods grant that he's turned over a new leaf ...
 
3:24 p.m., Thursday the 7th

SB got home yesterday at about 5:00 p.m., which would actually be more like BH's usual time to get home (5:00 p.m. or later). We had microwave burritos for dinner (topped with diced onions/jalapeños, cheese and salsa), plus avacado slices. I asked BH whether we'd watch anything and I think he was leaning toward yes, but then SB said no. She felt that he would get too little sleep if he stayed up and watched something. So we did not watch anything.

The dog went #2 in the litter box today, obviously a good thing. And then he almost went #1 in the box, but not quite, he only put his front paws in the box. That's not good. I had to clean that up. He was good for the next half hour or so, so I gave him a couple of treats, and I have not checked on him since then. If he makes any more messes today, BH or SB can clean them up. That's my selfish position and I'm sticking to it.
