Had a long night last night. I took a late nap yesterday so had trouble going to sleep last night. A dog woke me up and wanted out in the middle of the night. They went out and ran away and wouldn’t come back in. I kept getting up to yell for them to come in but no answer.
This morning early the other one wanted out. They ran off too. Yikes! Finally about an hour later they both came home. Bad dogs! I feel so responsible for them and was ever so grateful they came home.
I came up to my house and went back to bed. I slept for about an hour or so and then got up. I did some laundry and took care of a few things I needed to do.
I have a Zoom class today that I thought started at noon. I went up to the neighbor’s house at 11:30 and did chores and let the dogs out. This time they came right back in. I came back to my house and logged in at noon and discovered I had converted the time from eastern time instead of the western conversion I should have used so my class is at 4:00 instead.
I texted Ellexia and invited her out to lunch. She accepted my offer so I drove to town and picked her up. We went for lunch and then went to Walmart and picked up a prescription that was ready. Ellexia wanted to get her dad a birthday cake and a Father’s Day present so we took care of that too.
Dropped Ellexia off and then went to a car wash and gave my car a bath. Went back to Walmart and picked up my small grocery order and came home. Put groceries away, will do my Zoom class at 4:00 and then go back up to the neighbor’s house for the night.
I so enjoy having lunch with Ellexia. She is so grown up these days. I needed to talk to someone and she fit the bill today. It was good to get out for a bit and get my errands taken care of.
Hoping tonight the dogs will come back in after I let them out. I worry about them attacking the peacock who has decided to hang out by the house instead of staying in the barn where it should be.
I sent a note to the drain cleaner guy as the drain in the basement backed up again. I ran the dishwasher a bunch over the weekend and did a load of laundry today. Other than that I haven’t used much water this last week. For some reason the lights are not working in that room now. I changed the light bulbs today and that didn’t fix the problem. I checked the breaker box and that didn’t fix the light problem. I am scratching my head wondering what is going on. The drain guys said it didn’t make sense that only this drain is backing up when the floor drain is not.
Their next step is to cut off the above ground U shaped pipe and close it off so water can’t come up the pipe. They don’t understand why the floor drain works but not this one.
I have nothing else on my calendar for the rest of the week. I really need to find something productive to do with myself. I do much better when I have things to do a couple days a week.
Still staying at neutral on the consciousness ladder. I would like to be a step or two up the ladder from neutral but can’t seem to climb up. At least I haven’t fallen down and gotten into the muck pond.
Grateful for Ellexia and our conversation today, grateful I discovered the drain had backed up again, and grateful both dogs came home safely this morning.
