So because I could not do much but basic functions, such as staring at a screen and the light hurt, axing movies and the net as entertainment, I picked up a paint brush and painted a couple things plain ol' basic white, as a base for using my new ubercool paint pens. One was a shadowbox Dawn gave me (and apparently I have another one, so yay! I'll make another one tomorrow). Just a little thing from the dollar section of Michael's. And because she gave it to me, I could think of nothing but her when I went to draw on it. Which is why I started out with blue, her favorite color. After I drew on the box, I went through my mini stack of printed photos and found one of her that went so well with the outer portion of the box, I had to do a scrapbook style type thingy to the inside of it. And this is what came out:
I know. It's that awesome. And for those of you who can't read (or have bad eyesight), it says "Land Lubber". The photo is of Dawn sitting on an oversized open oyster from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. And the little pink thing in the corner is a tattoo-style bird (yes, straight off a sheet of Pirates of the Carribean sticker sheet) that I stuck on a little square of paper to make it pop. Dawn didn't seemed to like it much. She'd like it more if it wasn't her, I'm sure. She'll be even more impressed when she wakes up tomorrow to discover I've added the hanger on the back and hung it in the hallway. Just for now. If I add it to a pile I'd break it. I had one avalanche today.
Oh, Winnie and Clover got bathes tonight. Dawn bathed them and I dried them off. Tomorrow is Thistle. If the weather permits, I want to use a hose on Gibbs. He's too hard to wash in the shower and we don't have one of those removable hose things anymore. It was nice today, so if I am feeling up to it, I can do it tomorrow. Most likely will take up all my energy, but that's fine cause I can just sleep and recharge. Then after a couple days, it'll be time for their Frontline Plus. Yeah. Go puppers.
I'm so irritated that I don't have the energy to do the things I want to do. I was all ready to get up and start walking after I toured the Probation department and the next day I woke up all icky. Like I can exercise if I can't breathe. And then there's all this stuff I want to do to the backporch...Dump day is coming up next month, where we can bring all the stuffers to a location and dump for free instead of paying to bring it to the dump. Lots of stuff there I am trying to get together. I did manage to toss some old pots and stuff from the back porch. But I want to gather up all the lava rock (bad idea by the previous home owners that we never got rid off...Winnie likes to carry rocks around and nibble on them). And buy some concrete to put it in its place so we can mosaic on top of it.
And hopefully tomorrow I can go to Osh with Dad. It is "we pay the sales tax" weekend and I have a list of things I need to buy from them. Salinas' tax rose to almost 9% so I really want to take advantage of it. I feel better in the mornings, so I'm pretty sure I'll be able to do it, though it will be "taxing" on me and will probably be all I can do. Like the doctor and pharmacy was all I could do today. Maybe tomorrow will be the day I could get Dawn to help me with my night shirts.
Speaking of night. I'm exhausted all of a sudden.
Cheers.
