Today I went to the post office, the bank (drive-thru), and Walmart. A woman in the next drive-thru lane at the bank was taking a long time, she was on her cell phone. I was looking toward the bank, not at her, but she closed the cell phone and drove away giving me a dirty look. I’m sure the car behind her was glad she finally moved on.
Then I came home, put away most of the groceries and took a nap. The dogs took a nap, too. They are so used to my being here all the time that they get stressed when I am gone. That makes them tired.
They got their ears worked on this evening. It amounts to squirting liquid in their ears and massaging the base of their ears for a minute or two, then letting them shake their heads to get the liquid out.
I used to buy this liquid from the vet at about $10. a bottle. This last time I was at the vet’s I introduced Bandit who is a foster dog. The vet took pity on me and told me the liquid was 50% water and 50% vinegar.
This ear cleaning process upsets Bandit a lot. He runs around the back yard shaking his head then comes in the house and runs around like a wild dog. I am told this is called the “Bassett 500”.
It just so happened that Lory and John were painting in the bathroom when he came in. He kept taking a detour in there while he ran. We finally had to close the door until he settled down.
My sense of smell isn’t dead. I can smell the paint now and then.
The ceiling is done and tomorrow the walls will be done. I’ll try to get a picture of the finished product. It was painted before in 2002. There is only one other room that has been painted since I moved here in 2002.
I’m not much of a decorator. If there is a nail on the wall I’ll hang something on it but that’s about it.
Tomorrow will be a “take the Dexamethasone” day in preparation for chemo on Monday.
later….
