I wrenched my back again

It was another rough night of sleep again in a perfectly quiet house. I had shut off Netflix and was drifting when I wondered if I paid the bills this week so out to the computer to find I had. Back in bed I could now not sleep so listened to some podcasts until after 2 only to wake up after 4, WTH! As hard as I tried I could not get back to sleep so listened to more podcasts then chatted with S who was on his way to work.

After 8 I got up and took the 2 pups out to pee then got them breakfast. It is lovely and sunny out. Back out to walk the dogs and let the cats out I also checked the hot tub levels. I added PH- and let it bubble for a bit. I tried to giveaway my market tickets and get another blog page finished as I am behind again then headed out to soak for a bit in the hot tub and sunshine.

I showered up and was getting ready to head outside when B arrived at 11 with Lexi and Cooper leaving them for the day and heading back to town. I cleaned out the front flower bed and started on the back before coming in for a bowl of chili and a fresca. It seems however I tweaked my back doing the weeding or coughing (my covid remaining symptoms), dang it!

Beans and I headed to town after 1 dropping the stinky trash off at dump then to take Dad for a walk. The weather has taken a turn clouding over and the skies to the north darkening. I am hoping for rain but know Dad really enjoys getting out. He was still eating when we arrived so I sat on a chair to wait where many of the workers and residents fawned over Beans. We then headed out for a walk around the complex and sat in the sun while it was out. Once the wind picked up we headed back in.

Beans and I took a quick tour thru Walmart looking for a few things with zero luck then tried Rona again no luck finding an outdoor clear spray for S's bison heads. I grabbed an iced coffee on the way home then the mail and back home after 3. B was trimming Beibs feet in the blustery wind, what a hard working horse girl. S and I chatted as I searched for things to do in Toronto for our other days there. B along with Coop and Lexi headed home at 4:30 having put rain sheets on the 2 oldies. Harley's raw food company had a fire at the manufacturer plant that has caused a big delay in product but I did manage to order her bulk meat to make our own till it is back up and running hopefully.

Rain finally started before 6 but let up as I was eating my tuna and crackers. I thought it a good time to go put cats away taking the 2 little dogs. As luck would have it it started to rain turning to small hail and once I finally got Stella rounded up and both put inside with raw food it was coming down good. The pups were put away to dry and I worked on the blog. It let up not long after but was very welcome.

The evening was now sunny and fresh smelling after the rain and with Sheldon's encouragement I decided to see if the hot tub might help my back and went for a soak. I added muriatic acid and a new zorbie sponge once finished. A quick shower off then a last take out for the pups and it was bed time for them. I headed to bed to relax with Netflix and texting S as the Flames game progressed only to have them lose again, darn. A sleeping pill was in order to make sure I got a good sleep and after 11 it was lights out.
