It's Monday - Goddess Give Me Strength Not to Kill Him Yet

I was going to take the whole week off from blogging because it's a holiday week for us but I changed my mind. David is on vacation. The plant is shut down for the week as usual during July 4th so yeah, vacation time for him. I have a few things for him to do that will keep him a bit busy and hopefully he won't be coming to me and asking me to come to look at this or that after he's finished working. I did do one of the listed things for him though. This morning I was outside at 5 a.m. pruning the climbing roses that are trying to take over the front porch. I found a few more hornet nests buried in the roses. It was a little dark outside so they didn't really bother me. They were really young ones. Also, I trimmed the knockout roses below the porch because they are going crazy all over the place. So now when David mows the lawn he won't get scratched so badly when he passes by them. We are hopefully going to get a little rain on the 4th so that will cool off the heat we are getting. 

I'm a bit busy doing laundry today. I should have done it Friday but I didn't much feel like it then. David is hemming and hawing about my "honey do" list and that means he's whining,"do I have to do it all now?" Here I am trying to hang stuff and fold towels and he's whining about yard work. Big baby. He can do some of it early in the morning before it gets hot just like I did this morning. It's not such a big deal. 

This is what I wake up to in the morning.
Yeah, it's Lucy. 

Lucy now has her very own pillow. I was going to take the stuffing out of one of the old bed pillows and use some of it for a sock monkey for Spunky but Lucy was napping on it so I guess she can have it. She drags that pillow everywhere she goes so Spunky won't get a chance to claim it. She's such a little shit ball. She was teasing him this morning while I was sorting the laundry. She heard me telling her I would spank her little butt if I catch her bothering him again and yet she defies me and teased him once more just for thrills. When I went into the TV room she was prancing around showing defiance that I would never spank her because she was too cute. I think I broke her heart when I picked up the magazine and popped her on the butt with it. She just sat there and looked so sad for the longest time, but as soon as I left the room she was back at teasing the poor old man. She's such a little sister. always teasing poor Spunky. Such a brat.

I have my sourdough starter brewing. Yeah, finally. David threw my last starter out thinking it was something nasty in the refrigerator. I told him to never throw out anything from the fridge. I will take care of that. The kitchen is my job. He was a little miffed but whatever. Anyways, I tried to make the starter in March but it was just too cold. So, yeah, I'm doing it now. I plan on making banana bread and my carrot cake bread tomorrow morning when it's cool in the kitchen. Baking in the morning is so much nicer than in the afternoon. Not because it's cooler in the morning, although that is on the plus side. It's because I get so damned tired after baking. The heat bothers me. I think it's the Lupus doing that. Not sure but I need to talk to my doctor when I see him in three weeks. I need to ask about what I need to stay away from and watch out for.
