Rude Awakening!

I was sleeping like a baby rock, didn't even hear Jim get up when suddenly, my devil dogs espied what I'm assuming was a deer just outside our window (most likely eating from the bird feeders). Every corner of my room was suddenly filled with the screaming barks of Scout with Boo echoing in his most ferocious woof woof woof. I yelled out, "MAMMA'S TRYING TO SLEEP" but they didn't care. I looked at my clock and it wasn't even 5:30 yet. UGH! Oh well, I got up anyway because I needed to take care of Lou, which I've done and managed to just beat the downpour that's about to hit. 

So yeah, my morning routine will be a bit tweaked today because we've got heavy rain this morning. As a result, I'll move my dog walk to later in the day or at least when the rain slows down. After this I'll get some Pilates in, go back over to let Lou out to poop (he just ate his breakfast) and then who knows.

I'm getting things together for PIB. I talked to my aunt last night and they'll be out of there early Sunday (my cousin is flying out to Florida and needs to get back to Cleveland). I was hoping this would be so because I'd planned on getting to the Bay by about 10 or 11 and hate having to work around those who haven't left yet. 

Ooh, good news: Trip texted yesterday to say they're starting the pool install THIS WEEK! I can only imagine how excited and nervous he is because I just went through something similar; not as major but still. So excited for him and I'm excited to play some pool volleyball again.

Dinner tonight: Cobb salad. It's not even July and I'm already running out of things to make. That's not really true since I've been trying to use the Blackstone more but there are only so many ways you can grill chicken. Speaking of which, my copycat hibachi chicken was soooooo good last night. Part of that was the Yum Yum sauce...delicious. 

Jim said to me just before 6:00 this morning, "I gotta get going is that okay?" I said, "Why are you asking me if you can go to work? Go on, GET!" He said, "Well, I just have a lot to do since it's a short week." I said, "What do you mean a short week?" He said, "Friday is a holiday." I asked, "It is?" He said, "July 4th?" Oh yeah...totally forgot. I said, "Well get the hell outta here! Get your 40 in by Thursday!" 

I read a good book that I'll recommend: The Missing Half by Ashley Flowers. It's a mystery and I thought I knew what the hell was going on but ended up NOT which is always a positive in a mystery. I'm now onto one of 2024s top mysteries (I'm suddenly into mysteries) called Head Cases by John McMahon. It's #1 in a series so hopefully it'll be worth my while. 

K - time to get on my mat. Happy Tuesday. Later!
