I don't want to get my brows laminated before Sardinia because she made them kind of thin (and it's costly), but I bought a "freeze gel" to keep them tamed. We'll see how well it works.

Um. Gracie is eating the grass on the little grass mat thing. I told her that’s for peeing on, but she’s not getting it. She peed on the bed. Now she’s trying to “bury” it. She got her e-collar off. I gave her a munchie bone. I finally fell asleep.

Got up a little before 7 AM. Took Gracie and Bella out. Ordered another e-collar.

I’m feeling like crying. I can't get the e-collar on Gracie. I'll need to tie her on a short leash to get it on. And I haven't heard from the vet. I'm feeling like a failure as a dog mom. We have an appointment for 3 PM today. I ordered a "recovery suit" for dogs on Amazon. She might like that better.

I want to write an app that serves up one item from your to-do list at a time so that you don't get overwhelmed. It would also randomly include a breaks or fun tasks too to keep your interest. Something for retirement.

Heat advisory again.

My boss just gave me a bunch of new things to add to my slides.

I tried to lie down at lunch but Gracie is being totally manic. She needs to run around with Bella.

I made an appointment for a pedicure this Saturday. I tried to make a hair appointment, but my stylist isn't available until September. Oh well.

The vet said that Gracie had the beginning of an infection, but we caught it early. They sent us home with an antibiotic and trazodone to sedate her. (I told them that she was bouncing off of the walls.)

Hmm. I'm wondering if I could take a quick trip down to Mobile next spring, using the airfare for which I have a credit. When do trees blossom? Google says late March or early April in Alabama.

I’m feeling sorry for Bella. “Finally you get it right Mom and get me a friend, but now I can’t play with her!”

Ordered more puppy food. Fed us all. Gracie got throw-up (?) on the cone, so I washed it and now it’s drying.

I have four more payments on my phone, and then I’ll unlock it and try Mint Mobile.

Got the garbage out. I'm tired, so I'm going to go to bed soon. I hope that the trazodone has made Gracie settle the fuck down :)

I found an at home brow lamination kit. And a brow waxing kit.

I woke up at 2 AM to clean. Told the housecleaner that I was sick, and went back to sleep until 8:30 AM. I'm still having IBS issues.

I'm going to be super busy this weekend because I'll need to clean and pack. I'm going to try to get the house cleaned by Saturday night. I need to go get money for the pet sitter tonight. The forecasters are predicting rain at 5 PM. Note to self: go to the library to pick up books on Saturday. And my brow appointment is at 4:20 PM at Ulta.

I could get a pallet of white stepping stones from Home Depot, but I need to figure out how many I'd need.

Oh, I made a major screwup at work. I'm ready to retire now. Sigh. I'm feeling at the end of my rope.

I talked to the trust person in the bank. They said that all my assets outside of the trust, including the car, must be under $100,000 to avoid probate. Otherwise, all assets must be in the name of the trust. I will need to file a trustee's deed for the house. She recommended that I consult with an attorney.

I'm stymied at work because the statistics that I've been posting to the Web pages have errors. I'm glad that I don't have to fix the errors.

I keep forgetting to mention that I want a sprinkler system put in outside because I want to overseed the whole lawn in the fall, and that will be a lot of watering.

I received my blueberry bushes!

Just remembered that I need a laptop sleeve for my work computer because I'm going to try to bring it with me as well as my personal laptop. (My backpack will be heavy, but oh well.) It's too late to order from Amazon before my trip, so I placed an order with Best Buy for pickup. It's ready for pickup, but I'll go tomorrow because my appointment at Ulta is nearby.

I feel like crying, but I think that I forgot to take my meds this morning. Sigh.

It's freaking humid out. I wish that it would rain and clear the air. Oh, the forecasters say that it's raining, but it isn't raining hard.

Now it’s pouring. We ran into a neighbor. She said that someone else also lives with the neighbor whom I talked to yesterday, but I’ve never seen her. She asked when I’m getting the puppy. Bella noped out over the rain. I put the plants on the porch outside to benefit from the rain. I’m going to put them out back this weekend so that they can benefit from any rain next week.

I don’t really feel like running errands in the heavy rain, so plan B is to go to bed really early and get up early to go to the bank tomorrow before it closes.

I need to feed the cats and myself (done). I fed Bella before I took her outside.

Bella is very wet.

I was going to work on the kitchen a little until it got a little later to go to sleep, but my stomach is upset. I did find out how to add bleach to my washer for the white towels, but I want to wait until I'm nude after a shower to add bleach in case it splashes. (I don't particularly want bleach on me, but I could wash it off.) I need a measuring cup for the bleach though, so I'll order one from Walmart along with more pads for my spin mopper (done).

Now I'm going to post and go to bed.

Added: The orientation for the dog training class is next week, while I'll be out of town. I just emailed the registrar about it. I'm getting the feeling that my taking the class is jinxed. (I had to drop out of the one in the spring because my car was broken into.)
