Daisy wet her bed and mine during the night.  WTF?!?!?!?!  My windows are clean!!  Let me know if you’re interested in being my guest at the Friendship Village Wait List Reception and Cocktail Pary.   Despite her rather cloudy disposition, I do love chatting over the back fence with my neighbor lady.  Laundry, laundry, laundry and still more laundry.  All in all, it’s been an very productive evening around here!  I’ve definitely earned tomorrow’s frolic!  My dress is ironed, my dancing shoes selected.  Yes, you read that right.

I was able to catch an earlier flight home! I arrived MSP about the time I was supposed to have left MDW. Dropped my stuff at home and headed to the office. I must do my nails tonight, they look horrible! And, Before I try and sleep, I have to figure which of my smoke detectors needs a new battery. I’ve changed a bunch of smoke detector batteries. The chirping seems to be coming from a detector in my furnace room that doesn’t have a battery. The Security Company insists it can’t possibly be that one that’s chirping. I sure don’t see any others.

With my standing desk, I don’t typically sit much during the day. I’m spending most of these days sitting in classes and it’s down right painful!  I won a prize at the Fashion Show!  A garment just meant for me!!  Only one small issue . . . I don’t get the actual garment, but a kit to knit it myself.

A thunderstorm at 2:30 am.  First thing Daisy does is run to her crate!  And urinates in there.  Then she starts her anxious pacing.  I got up and closed the crate door, but the smell was keeping me awake.  I pulled the crate pad out and headed to the laundry room.  Daisy went to the back door.  So, I let her out.  Without disarming the alarm.  WHOA!!!  All that taken care of, we went back to bed.  When I was making this morning’s smoothie, I slobbered some yogurt on the front of the blender.  I grabbed a cloth to wipe it off.  And, inadvertently turned the damned thing on.  With no lid.  What a mess!
