Thursday, April 16, 2020 – Same Again

Hey Babe,
Had a bad night sleep, Lola kept waking me up every couple of hours, scratching at the bedroom partition, or the other door or just meandering and trying to fluff everything she could, her bed, the boot map, everything. She was just about to know over the trash on the dining room bench seat when I finally got up and let her out, even though I had let her out twice before bed. Grrr! Suffice to say I woke up grouchy from lack of sleep! The only thing I sold today was the floor jack, to a guy that met me at the trash dump down on the corner at Fred Lusk Rd. I still don’t have the final word on whether I can keep clearing out the house on the weekend, but it’s becoming a moot point, since I don’t have the time to finish it before then. The closing is supposed to be tomorrow, but I still don’t have when or where, sigh… When I got home from my trip, I got out the sewing maching I traded and played around with it a bit until I got it working to my satisfaction, then I decided to fix the living room drape. I was in such a hurry when I first made it, the whole thing was crooked and the hem was unevern, so I stripped it down and started again, this time getting it a lot better. Not perfect, but better. I had planned on getting another yard of that same material and making one for the dining room window, since that one throws a lot of glare onto the TV, but of course, the fabric store is closed because of the pandemic, and I haven’t been able to get any. I hope I can get it before I leave this time! Afterward, I took Lola for a walk and playtime, hoping she gets enough exercise tonight, because if she gets restless, I’m just going to have to put her in the truck, and with the cold nights, I really don’t want to do that. It’s not supposed to get quite as cold tonight, but I’d really rather she settle down, she’s been so good until the last week, I think she’s just bored and under-exercised, a condition I’ll only be able to solve when we leave here and are in a horse camp somewhere. I ended up falling asleep for more than an hour while watching TV, so now I’m off to bed, hoping against hope that Lola behaves herself tonight! Good night, babe! Love you!
