Random June Thoughts
Woman in the Middle | June 20, 2015Summer has finally arrived in So Cal. We have had a week of temps that have stayed very close to 100. After the long drawn out unseasonable wet and cool spring, this abrupt change has taken some getting used to.
I am furiously cleaning the house today due to finding out that we are having a house guest Sunday night. I just found this out yesterday. It is a friend of Youngest Daughter’s and I am sure she won’t do the white glove test. At the same time, swabbing the kitchen floor, getting up the dog hair, and cleaning the bathroom is necessary.
Hubby was out of the house trying to deal with the Evil Empire (AKA Bank of America) so the girls and I put on ABBA to do housework to. ABBA music is really good for that sort of thing. A good beat, peppy…I highly recommend it!
The June weather and housework come together in my mind because the two combined are making me sweat up a storm!
We had a bit of a brew ha ha in the house last night at 3 am. I heard the dog get up, which she does at least once a night to get a drink of water. But this time she gave herself a good shake, which usually means “Good Morning, I am up!” When I rolled over and saw it was 3 am I decided that she would just need to deal with it. Of course, since I was awake I had to go to the bathroom. I could see through the bathroom window the light was on in Eldest Daughter’s room. That is where Honey sleeps now. When I asked this morning I found out that Honey had gotten up in the middle of the night and had wandered around the bedroom, gotten herself tangled up on a plastic bag, and had passed a little gas along the way. Eldest was afraid our elderly dog had pooped during the plastic bag incident and turned on her light to investigate. By then Honey was back on her bed looking all innocent. But the light had caused her to get up, go in the hallway and give a good shake. That was when I woke up. Oh, the joy of pets!
We are off late this afternoon to a friend’s house to celebrate a 60th birthday. Tomorrow we will celebrate Father’s Day. I hope you are having a good weekend!
I know the joys of an old pet’s middle of the night excursions. My cat Jake usually gives a very loud meow when he pees in the litter box at 3 a.m. Sometimes he wants a snack. Once I’m sort of awake I always have to go to the bathroom. The trick is to fall back asleep after the bathroom and giving out the snack.
Yes, that falling back to sleep thing is the trick, isn’t it?
My neighbor believes that another El Nino is on its way due to the weather patterns.
I have read that we may be getting an El Nino.
I enjoyed the nighttime forays of your pets and people.
When my daughter cleans she cranks up the music and goes for broke
