I have 15 pieces of fabric bought and washed to make blankets for donating to the rescue. I have done none of them. I wish I could add some time to my days! It seems I have enough time (and energy) to do just what it takes to survive and to keep a path cleared through the house but no more. The doctor is still working on my medications so I’m chalking this lethargy to the meds. She just added one that perks me up a bit but it’s not nearly enough; hopefully I’ll be able to stabilize and get back my get-up-and-go. I have found that lately I’m reading more about sewing than actually spending time doing sewing (embroidery for me). I’m unsubscribing from some of my e-lists so I’ll have more time for the “doing” part. I’m also working on a special project for a baby shower but it’s still hush-hush. I still have that fabric in a bag to be washed.
Tomorrow Bandit goes to the vet for his yearly checkup, then the week after it’ll be Dusty and Diego for theirs. Hopefully nothing else is found and they’ll all check out okay. We’re not seeing any issue with them so fingers crossed the doctor won’t either. Today while Ronnie was working in the backyard (he’s building me a thread rack like one I saw online the other day), Bandit came out of the shed with a dead rat. Of course, I went bananas; Ronnie didn’t even see it until I hollered to him. He took it away from Bandit then threw it over the back fence. Ronnie said it was newly dead so evidently Bandit was the executioner. Ewwwwwwwwwww! I’ve never known Bandit to kill any living creature; I don’t know what the rat said to Bandit to piss him off.
Today I awoke at noon…..I slept 11 1/2 hours!!!!!!!!! I was surprised when I found out what time it was but happy that I finally caught up on my rest some. On the weekends Ronnie keeps the dogs quiet so I can sleep in a bit but I don’t usually sleep this late unless I’ve been up all night…and I went to bed at 12:30 last night. Wow! Since I was doing laundry this weekend I started in finishing up from yesterday which entailed emptying the dog crates and washing all their blankets. Then I changed the water in both fish tanks so they’re happier now, too. Usually one day a week this is my routine for the animals: doing their laundry and changing out water in both fish tanks. I just turn on the TV and leave it running for a distraction while I’m working. Today they were showing Ken Burns’ “Civil War” and I watched most of it. I had bookmarked that series on Netflix but had never gotten around to watching it. Now I have. I like Ken Burns’ historical series. I love seeing actual photographs of historical events and hearing stories from the people who lived through those times. I still have his “Jazz”, “The West”, and the second half of “Auschwitz” to watch. I saw “Prohibition”, “Lewis & Clark”, “Huey Long”, “The Dust Bowl”, “The War”, and “The Roosevelts” which were excellent, too. I’m usually not able to sit still long enough to watch an entire series; today was an exception and I’ll probably dream about the Civil War and Lincoln tonight. LOL
