Dog Tired



That is how I am feeling in the moment. Christy had to be at tennis today at 7 so was up very early. The neighborhood blowers were at it at 6:30 but I can normally sleep through them. Phil was also here working. But as I was settling to get more needed sleep I heard sad yippings and scratchings at my door. One of my house guests for the week, Izzy, a very dear little Yorkie was missing his "mum' and demanding to be let into my room. End of sleep and I have been draggin' all day.
However I did find the energy to do some laundry, change my bed linen, empty the dishwasher and make meals.
The day was hectic for Christy. Gene called saying he was ill and coming home. So she made a hotel reservation for him Then Bandit dug up a dead rat out in the backyard and since the rats die mostly by poisoning and she seemed to have eaten some of the rat she had to take her to the vet.
She got in just a bit of rest when she had to go pick her up at the vet.
Now she is out having dinner with Gene and Izzy is very unhappy. She is very attached to Christy and seems to fret a great deal when she is gone.
My breakfast tasted pretty good this morning. I made scrambled egg whites with a bit of sour cream, a piece of raisin Ezekial bread toast and lemon/ginger tea.
Lunch was creamed spinach which had a good taste and protein enriched pasta with tomatoe sauce which had no taste at all.
A snack of sugar free cookies late afternoon.
About to fix dinner which will be a piece of tilapia with lemon, some jasmine rice and  some brussel sprouts with lemon/butter.
I watched Deadliest Catch and Master Chef last night. Tonight I will watch Master Chef and some House Hunters.
It will be early to bed to continue reading Game of Thrones.
Marth slept until 3 so only got in two hours of work. The house smells so good and feels so clean. She will do 2 more hours on Thurs. and take me to get a mammogram.
And so it goes. Grateful to be feeling a bit stronger despite being dog-tired (tired from dog.)
