I love being home..   I can't say that enough...

once you're up, that's it.. can't go back to sleep.

i've fed for over a year.. so there shouldn't be any babies now
and.. mr grey IS a boy.. right??

St Patty's Day!! 

home sweet home.. and how I love it.. 
this week has already been crazy and hectic and stressful.. 

1 more work day to go.. yesterday's surgery canceled because of the snow.. oh, the snow.. 
tomorrow's spay surgery canceled because they didn't come in for bloodwork on Monday..
and the lady also needed more time.. 

yesterday most of the appointments canceled due to weather... and the doctor was MAD
and what weather it was... oh the snow..
Monday I drove to work.. then home at lunch.. 
there was supposed to be snow from 10-10pm..
the snow started around 2 - off and on - hail and rain - when i was at work with my car (not the truck).. 
when I drove home at 8 the roads were icy and slippery.
I made it about halfway home, then parked my car at Don's and got a ride the rest of the way. 
it snowed through midnight and was a white icy mess Tuesday morning.
I got a ride to work.. kind of shimmy sliding most of the way there.
there was a big rig that slid at the intersection blocking half the road. 
we tried our best to stop for him, let alone stop at the intersection, and the guy directing traffic got mad.. 
hello!! ice?!

March 14th 2021

we got up at the 'butt crack' of dawn.. 8am.. which was really 9am.. 
I haven't done much of anything all day long..
ran a load of laundry because I need work clothes.. 
made the bed with a "new" blanket..
the chickens laid 3 eggs today.. there was nothing when I first checked..
then a blue egg, an olive egg, and Emma laid a 'turbosonic egg' sometime thereafter.

Critter keeps eating dog food and then puking it up..
typically somewhere near in Ronnie's office, or else somewhere around his desk upstairs. 
I fed her breakfast while he was in class.. after she puked up dog food under his chair
I fed Mr Grey after her class. always trying to keep the dogs upstairs is difficult.
they are nosy.... and curious.. especially Charlie

I bought a baby gate with a little pet door.. wanted to put it in the hallway.
yesterday it arrived and it's not wide enough of the hallway -- so it is in the doorway of the bathroom

I re-bagged my give-away clothes because they were spilling into the hallway-- sorted ThredUp.
in re-bagging I discovered that someone peed on the original bag.. sticky and stinky.. 

Ronnie worked on my cell phone.. once done we plugged it in, and it blinked that the battery was completely discharged -- new battery.. no problem. we plugged in for almost 2 hours.. then he realized he may have not connected something so he took it apart to redo it. now it's been charging almost 4 hours and still says 'battery completely discharged'. i just changed the charging cord.
I might not have a phone anymore... ugh...

aHa! the star bread was a big hit!! I must make it again.
 
I wanted to get up at 7:30 to shower before work.. 
but then 7:30 came around and I didn't want to get up.. it is my day off, after all..
I got up at 8:10, dressed, heated up the baked apple, and re-wrapped the star bread. 
I let the doggies outside, grabbed an egg from the box, fed the cats and gathered my things.. 
it worked out much better than I thought.
I had to feed Critter upstairs so she wouldn't go running past class meowing and complaining.
I took all my things downstairs and put them on the floor..
then went out and fed Mr Grey, so that I could have the door open wide enough to get my food out.
he was too busy eating to care about the open door.

and, yes, when I carried the food in, everyone looked to see what I'd brought, and they were thrilled I'd "re made" the baked apple -- I didn't really. we just hadn't actually eaten it, and it was preserved in the freezing fridge.
plus the star bread, it looked beautiful - - they voted I should be hired to make food for other meetings..
next I clocked out (after clocking in late because I forgot to clock in at all..)

then I headed to Dollar General. I bought random odds-and-ends..
didn't find any pennies, but did remember the AA batteries and neosporin..
plus 2 pepsi-zeros and some kitchen wipey rags and garden seeds..
at checkout I grabbed 4 Lindt candies - 2 white chocolate, 2 milk chocolate.
it was starting to snow as I left Dollar General
home sweet home by his 11:00 class so had to keep the maniac doggies quiet - - oh, what a feat.
I went outside to grab another chicken egg.. then got them settled inside on the couch.. another feat. 

Innerspace (1987)

it snowed and snowed for awhile.. total white out.
I5 freeway was closed, escort only...
there was an accident on Cuddy Valley Road due to ice..

it still continued snowing for a few hours.
driving to work in the morning will be a fun adventure.
and I can't keep warm.. I was tempted to bake, to use the oven to heat the house..
but couldn't make up my mind what to bake - and I never bought milk.
however I still have pecan pie to finish (since the baked apple is happily at work)

I'm still not sure why my parents chose Simi Valley (?)  I suppose it is because 2 sisters live there.. although one splits her time between Simi Valley and Kernville. DC said I should have them move up here.. doesn't exactly solve the issue of snow, and driving in it, and still being remote.. it would help with us being here.. we can help with shopping and delivering.. and visiting more often. but it does create an issue with getting to LA doctors and such.. so perhaps that is where the trouble really lies.

March 10th 2021

I woke up at 8:20 - - I didn't even know what day it was. but got up and dressed, and started my day. 
we got snow overnight but the sun was shining so you wouldn't even have known it. it melted away as the day went on. we got more snow around noon for about 3 hours -- that seemed to melt by the time it hit the ground. we were expecting more at 9pm.. will see. expecting more from 10am to 10pm tomorrow.. oh joy

today I made this for work tomorrow. took quite a bit of time since it's from scratch.
but SO happy with how it came out! can't wait to take a bite!
also in charge of the osha topic tomorrow -- which I am not thrilled about..

March 8th 2021

I have been using the Homestar kitchen cleaning products for awhile now, and just recently bought the Homestar bathroom cleaner. I typically use the Mr Clean toilet wand where each pad has cleaner in it that works with water to clean your toilets -- well, doesn't clean my toilets.. not completely

so I bought Homestar bathroom cleaner (foam) and spray it in the toilet. I let it soak for a bit to do its work (the motto is "let it sit then wipe away"). then I take the toilet wand. doesn't seem like it makes much difference.. when you stare at something for awhile, it doesn't seem to change. but when I come back later, I realize how much better it looks. this stuff works fantastically -- and it has a nice apple scent. so, again, you don't smell that nasty 'cleaner' smell. I love it.
I will definitely keep buying more and more of these  👍👍

found another kitchen cabinet for my baking soda schmoo.. not even a cabinet that we have cooked near. is the kitchen grease really flying that far around the kitchen?! 
I do still have to clean the ceiling from my Chef Boyardee fiasco. but everytime I see the mess I've made, I see the mess that is still on the ceiling from before we moved here. all around the stove. 
a vent/hood/fan over the stove is code, OR a nearby window.
yeah, well, the window blows out the flame... but grease still gets all over everything..
