Kevin's Hetero MFM Poly-Fi V

3:47 p.m., Monday the 17th

Well from what SB said, traffic yesterday was actually worse. :( We ate out, but at a place we could walk to. Pho Yelm. We walked to Ichiban too (the day before), but that was a little further. We did not do any episodes yesterday. We might do one today. This concludes my riport.
 
5:17 p.m., Tuesday the 18th

I'm extra hungry today, unfortunately SB will be getting home late, she had a bad day at work today. Actually I'm a bit surprised that BH isn't home yet either. Dinner yesterday was hot dogs (turkey dogs), mac and cheese, and sweet peppers. Don't know what it'll be tonight. If SB is tired enough, I can see her ordering pizza. I'll tell you what I feel like right now, well anything really, but especially, I think we still have some naan in the fridge and I would love to eat it all. This concludes my fantasy for today.

BH and I watched a Sneaky Pete episode yesterday, I don't know if we will today, probably not if dinner is kind of late. This concludes my riport.
 
3:55 p.m., Wednesday the 19th

We had leftovers for dinner yesterday, dinner was late, 7:00 or 7:30 p.m., so no episodes. As it turns out, that naan I spoke of is actually in the freezer. :( I don't know when dinner will be tonight, SB might have another bad day at work so might get home late. Last I heard she was thinking pizza for dinner tonight, I guess we have a few frozen pizzas in the freezer so we'll probably have those. BH is a huge fan of pizza, me not so much, but that's okay, I'm easily hungry enough to devour some pizza greedily.
 
2:27 p.m., Thursday the 20th

So we had the frozen pizza for dinner, plus a small salad. Dinner was done at about 6:30 p.m., and we did watch a Sneaky Pete episode (at about 7:30 p.m.).

Eddie's next class is today, I think it is his fifth session in this class. He has one more session, next week; then, for the week after that, Sunday to Sunday, BH and SB will be out of town, in Michigan I think. They were going there for a wedding and that part got canceled, but they are still going on the trip. SB said Eddie would be staying at a dogsitter's house. Hopefully that's still the case ...
 
6:43 p.m., Saturday the 22nd

We watched a Sneaky Pete episode last night. I have to say, I can't remember what we had for dinner. D'oh! I've been extra stressed-out today, not sure why. Things are getting busier (more chaotic) around here as BH and SB prepare for their trip about a week from now. And now, tonight's dinner is ready, so I must go. I'll probably report in again tomorrow.
 
4:05 p.m., Sunday the 23rd

After dinner, we watched "The Russian Five," a movie about the Detroit Red Wings. I am not what you'd call a sports nut, but I still enjoyed the movie, it was well done. BH and SB had already seen it at the theater, but BH wanted to see it again, and SB was willing to see it again.

There's nothing very exciting going on here today, I think BH has been feeling kinda sick and has been napping on and off. SB was feeling kinda sick yesterday, but she is feeling better today. So far I have been able to dodge whatever bug it is. This concludes my riport.
 
11:22 a.m., Monday the 24th

SB and I ate out for dinner, at Mariachi Alegre. We ordered something to go for BH. As he was feeling sick, we didn't watch any episodes. However SB took Eddie on a walk and I went with.

SB said that BH is going out to get a haircut today, and I think she wants me to go with him and also get a haircut. I don't know what time he'll go, I haven't been up that long and he is in the bathroom. I'll ask him after he gets out.
 
3:22 p.m., Tuesday the 25th

So, BH left to get his haircut sooner than I expected, I did not get the chance to ask him. I was pretty bummed about that, I thought SB would be upset with me. But as it turned out it was no big deal, SB was not upset with me, I will get my hair cut at some other time.

Dinner was leftovers, I had Amy's vegetable korma. BH and I watched a Sneaky Pete episode after dinner. Dinner tonight will be a pot roast, SB staged up the crock pot and had me plug it in today at around 11:00 a.m.

That's all I really have to tell you for today.
 
...BH and SB left with Eddie to take him on a barn hunt...

So, I read this the other night and then had to go look it up and share it with the boys. Turns out there is a Workshop in our local (really small) town in a few weeks! (PS. Nothing ever happens here!) So the boys and I had this whole conversation about the "Rat Wranglers" - and I realize how awesome the internet is - I can start out reading my poly forum friend's blog and end up finding out about things going on in my own backyard!

Thanks for making the world small, Kevin!:D

Re:
"Thanks for making the world small, Kevin! :D"

Heh, not a problem. Seems like I never have anything big to report, I just report the little things. I guess technically, Eddie didn't go on an official barn hunt this time around, he just did some warm-up exercises ... a dry run. The next one he goes on, he will get graded on how he does. Based on how he did on his warm-up, he will probably do well on the official hunt.

I don't know if there's just one company that does the barn hunt? If there are other companies, do they do things differently? I'm too lazy to do the research, but just be aware your dog may not be graded on his first hunt.

That's all I have to tell you for now. ;)
 
12:33 p.m., Thursday the 27th

Some exciting news: We had a bona fide thunderstorm yesterday, a rare treat for the Pacific Northwest, including one chillingly close strike. We may have had a brief round of hail, it sounded like it. Now the temperatures are somewhat cooler; it is 65° right now. I still have my windows open. There's rain in today's forecast, but the rest of the coming week will be dry. High temps will be mostly in the 70's.

I'm somewhat more stressed-out today than the usual. As is almost always the case with being more stressed-out than usual, the cause is unknown and is presumed to be internal, or mostly internal. Starting Sunday, BH and SB will be leaving on their trip and I will be on my own for a week. Don't know if that has anything to do with the stress levels, I will have some jobs to do while they're away. Eddie will be at our dogsitter's house (thank the gods).

Today is Eddie's last day in his current class. I will go there with SB as I always do. I'll read while she's in the class with Eddie.

This concludes my riport.
 
1:41 p.m., Friday the 28th

Hi opal,

I don't know what it is, something about the general weather patterns, maybe because we're adjacent to the Pacific Ocean with cooler temps, we just don't get a lot of extreme weather. Why does the Atlantic Northeast get extreme weather? I don't know. One advantage is that we usually don't get much if any snow in the Winter, at least not here at the low elevations.

Generally speaking, I think weather in the United States tends to travel from the Southwest to the Northeast; this may have something to do with it. The PNW is mostly getting weather straight off the ocean, the ANE is getting weather from the elevated land to the southwest. I don't know, I am poorly educated in these areas and am just totally guessing. Whatever the reasons, I savor what few thunderstorms we have.

The temperature right now is 68°, it will get up to 70°. The rest of the coming week will be warmer, with a couple of days getting up to 80°. No rain in the forecast. This concludes my riport.
 
1:17 p.m., Saturday the 29th

Today is the last day BH and SB will be here before they leave on their trip. They leave early in the morning tomorrow. Right now BH is at work, SB got back shortly before noon from a hair appointment. She and I then walked over to the seasonal Farmer's Market we have across the street. Then we walked home with two bottles of wine. We went shopping yesterday, I picked out stuff for me to eat during the coming week.

The dogsitter comes over to pick up Eddie between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. tomorrow. Could be awkward, I don't know. Today I think SB has a number of jobs to do, to get ready for tomorrow. To be honest, she's kind of in a bad mood, she had to throw out some food and that angered her. I am kind of keeping a low profile, hopefully her mood will improve, as it often (but not always) does.

Not much else to tell you for the moment.
 
10:23 a.m., Sunday the 30th

So today is the first day of my week by myself. The dogsitter will come and get Eddie sometime during the next two hours; then it will be just me and the cats. I'm a little nervous, I have jobs to do while BH and SB are away. I hope I will do a good job.

As for SB, as of dinnertime yesterday she was in a better mood, not great but better. I did try to help her with her chores yesterday. For dinner we just had subs from Subway. And, a bottle of Reed's Sweet Wine.

SB said that she and BH will probably return home by about 9:00 p.m. one week from today (Sunday). In the meantime, I will do my best, to do my duty, to this house and my two poly companions. Kind of sucks to be separated from them like this, but, I could have joined them on this trip and I chose not to.

This concludes my riport.
 
2:25 p.m., Monday the 1st

Everything went fine with the dogsitter, she was really cool about taking Eddie off my hands. I don't know when she'll bring him back, maybe this coming Sunday at about the same time?

It's my second day by myself and I seem to be handling it reasonably well. Not perfect but okay. SB figured I would pick out some junk food for this week, and I tried not to disappoint her. :eek: This concludes my riport.
 
2:35 p.m., Tuesday the 2nd

I got an email from SB last night. Apparently things are manic over there (in Michigan), with everyone in the family tripping over each other and not communicating. SB feels run ragged.

As for the dogsitter, SB says she'll ask her later in the week when she'll be coming back to drop Eddie off. So I won't worry about it (too much).

It's unusually cool today, it's 60° right now, and my windows are closed. The rest of the coming week looks a lot better, highs in the 70's. Next Tuesday it will get up to 82°, so that's an exception. It rained this morning, but I don't see any rain in the forecast. This concludes my riport.
 
3:41 p.m., Wednesday the 3rd

It's 70° right now and my windows are open. Rainee is sitting right next to me, on the same table as my laptop, she is looking out the window and enjoying the fresh air. The high today will be 71° or 72°. Temps for the coming week will be in the mid to low 70's, except next Wednesday which will get up to 81°. No rain in the forecast, all the days for this next week will be partly cloudy.

For dinner tonight, or for part of dinner tonight, I plan to have a tin of salmon, I have one tin left, the cats will be dying to have some, and I intend to give them some. Don't tell anybody. There's not much else to tell you today, I am just enjoying my little vacation as much as I can. Namaste
 
1:46 p.m., Thursday the 4th

It's 70° right now and my windows are open. It's supposed to get up to 73° today. The whole forecast for the next week says all the highs will be in the 70's. Rain the next Wednesday coming up, otherwise dry and partly cloudy.

People have been setting off fireworks already today in the middle of the day. Waste of a good firework in my opinion, nothing to see except a burst of smoke. I guess some people crave the sound (Snap! Crackle! Pop!), and don't care so much for the visual element.
 
3:51 p.m., Friday the 5th

It's been really cloudy today, it's overcast (or near overcast) right now. Current temp is 70°, and that's the high for today. Tomorrow and Sunday are supposed to get no higher than the upper-60's. Then it's mid- to upper-70's for the next five days after that. With rain on Wednesday.

SB emailed me last night, saying that she (and BH) went to a BBQ yesterday, with her mom's family, and I think today is another BBQ, for BH's family. Apparently the current weather there (in Michigan) is hot and humid. Yeah! I got the awesome weather here in the PNW. Okay not yeah. I take no pleasure in their suffering. :cool:
