08/31/2010: "Yeah! A Rainy Day!"

It looks like I'll be able to stay home today and vegetate. The ground will enjoy the moisture because everything is so dry, although it might make the grass grow again just when I was enjoying the slowdown and getting other things done that have been neglected since spring.
It's the last day of the month and couldn't have come soon enough because this was a big spending month. The quarterly taxes and getting the boys neutered happened so I was out of money a week ago, then I got 3 early checks in the nick of time. I was paid early because a few of my accounts were going on vacation and would be gone on the first so that was a relief.
My pup got stung on the head Sunday night by an insect and by morning half her face was swollen and she had welts all over her body. I got the first appt. in the morning at the vets and he gave her a shot and some pills to take home. It's always one thing or another so I can contribute to my vets income every month. At least I still get a check from him every month also, for my services.
I asked my daughter a few days ago if she was happy. She seemed so down lately. I asked if she would tell me if it was anything I did. She said she wanted to know why I didn't want her working with me all of a sudden. She said I shouldn't keep paying her for doing nothing. I said she wasn't doing nothing with all that she was doing around here, keeping the house clean, working in the yard, keeping everything watered, doing the laundry, and being here with the dogs so they don't get bored and tear up the house. Since I could care less about the house after working all day, it was good someone was doing it. I also felt she really didn't want to work since she couldn't get going early enough for me. Besides, now that she's pregnant, I'd rather she take care of herself and not stress about anything. I plan to make sure she's as happy as can be so her unborn baby will benefit from it all.
Now "they" are saying to eat more carbs and eat those breads. I'm not going for it because I'm finally losing after dropping the yeast breads. I'll go back after I reach my goal. Til then, "Let's All Dance!"
