Yesterday was exhausting!

I was on the run from about 6:30 am, one way or another.

Road construction social 2219743733.The primary goal for the day was to get the furry one to the groomer. That is always a production. It’s not that he’s a problem getting into the car. He seems to like riding. 

The trouble is that he just won’t settle down. Although yesterday coming back from the groomer he fell asleep for just a minute, sitting up, with his head on my shoulder. This gives me hope that eventually he’ll settle in the car and then have fun at our destination instead of being excited from the moment he’s in the car to the moment we’re back home.

Honestly him falling asleep like that was really cute, sweet, and made it all worth it.

The morning went like this, up at 6, coffee, then 2.5 mile walk/drag up & down the mountain. Quick shower, then trying something new so that he can be comfortable and lay down. Didn’t work! Fight through a construction zone (that I wasn’t aware of). Get him to the groomer, another walk/drag around the grooming place so that he could smell all the other dogs that had been there before. Then inside the grooming place where everyone knew his name, Not sure if that’s a good thing or bad thing.

Then run to get myself a haircut. Fight through more stupid traffic to the Target. Pick up things that I can’t get elsewhere. Stand in insane line, watch “The Usual Suspects” acting up and being assholes in the self checkout line. Get out of the store, almost get run over twice in the parking lot, while walking to the car. Hesperia has, (at last report), the worst drivers of any city in California. Fight my way through traffic again. 

Get back to the shopping plaza where the groomer is. Have a burger, well, order a burger then leave because more of “The Usual Suspects” were acting up and began trashing the place, (Ate my burger and fries in the car listening to calming music). [Note: I didn’t wait to take pictures, this one is from the internet.]

Walked 1/2 mile to the Walmart to pick up some really cheap Chinese items, stood in insanely long line to check out. Observed more of “The Usual Suspects” squabbling, yelling, and cutting in line. Got out of Walmart, walked 1/2 mile back to car, dropped off items and sat in car listening to calming music again.

Went into groomers and shopped for items necessary for the furry one. Watched said furry one being remarkably good while standing on a grooming table getting trimmed for Summer. I was trying not to be seen by him. Paid the bill. Furry one was ready to leave and I was walked/dragged around the building again.

Back in the car, fight through traffic on the freeway this time, get home, unload the clean furry one, then unloaded purchased items, put stuff away, and put car in the garage. 

I got myself a glass of water wondering why I was tired.

The now fluffy, furry one came inside and promptly took a nap in his favorite spot. I cleaned a closet.

The furry one, woke from his nap, went outside, then came back in with his favorite toy, dropped it at my feet, and wanted to play. So out we went to chase the ball around the yard.

I wish I had his energy!

Today… I’m still tired!

At least Mr. Furry is clean!

The plus side, is that during the day I didn’t hear or see one news show. I did catch that some moronic American senator was in El Salvador trying to get a deported MS13 gang member out of prison.

I’d ask WTF, but it’s pointless. The world is a madhouse, it’s easier to accept that, than it is to think about it.

I am concerned about the preponderance of “The Usual Suspects”. That stresses me out every time I go to the store.

Has Greenland decided to join the United States? Just Askin…

I hope everyone has a great Friday and excellent Easter.
