Emotional support banana :)

It appears that missing her supper had Har a bit peckish around 3:30 am. Perhaps it was S who roused her, though, as he was up for a bathroom break and a glass of milk. I made our coffees on this lovely 2-degree morning. Oddly Har didn’t want breakfast but the cats were delighted to eat. Speaking of pets, Nathan shared this hilarious photo that cracked me up.

S ran the car to town to get the tires put on after 9 p.m. Meanwhile, I published the brown book table tutorial and shared it on all the sites and with the sponsors. Then it was on to updating all the other tutorials with my before-and-after photos, updating spreadsheets and completing my monthly invoices for my affiliate income. 

S was back with my now safe to drive and clean car after 10:30. He has been wavering on selling it but has realized it is of way more value than we could get to sell it so why bother. He was then back to searching on his favourite Marketplace for truck tires. I did more computer work before we had leftover lunch with a side of news.


This is Sheldon' lunch, a bacon tomato spinach sandwich made with 2 somewhat burnt pieces of all butter Christmas cake as the bread!

He was off to hockey early today hoping to be changed and able to join in on the K of C agent convo with Kaylin. He was in on Shaina's earlier today as he sat at the tire shop. We are getting the girls set up on their own for their investments set up years ago by Grama & Papa.


Oh my gosh, today Renn took a banana to "school" as her emotional support buddy.


It stayed with her while she read


and played out doors


and even thru story time. She eventually decided to eat now mushy banana at lunch with a spoon :)
She has done this with a sucker and a plastic gum container in the pa

I resumed working on yesterday’s blog and sorting out the difference between a Nespresso subscription and a regular order. In the end, you save 10% and don’t have to order as frequently, so it seems like a worthwhile investment. Since I was feeling better and it is a beauty plus 5 out, I decided to take Harley for a much-needed walk. Afterward, I spent some time cleaning up poop after our walk. If this warm weather persists, I’m curious to see how much more I’ll reveal after six weeks of sickness and not having scooped poop.

Back to the garage, I fed her, and she finally ate. I tried a test whitewash on the coffee table drawer, but I’m not sure about it, so I scrubbed it off. I might go dark, but I’ll see. Soon after, a couple from down the road delivered two free dressers and even unloaded them in the garage. Her name is Shaynna. This is the second time in a week that I’ve chatted with someone named that, excluding our Shaina, of course. :)

I prepared a large tray of vegetables to roast for supper, which will be served with prime rib bones. S returned home later today before 6 p.m. He sold the bison head that the AV taxidermist had done for what he had paid for it to be done European. Apparently, there was a misunderstanding about the agreed-upon price, S said he paid $450 to have it done and would take $100 over that. The fellow arrived with $110 and told him to keep the change!  Obviously a big communication gap but I guess it no longer occupies the space on the carpet.


Papa enjoying his snacks, today they had him stand briefly during his PT as well as OT therapy. 

Supper was ready to be enjoyed before 7 p.m. It seems like bad timing because B was out just after 7 p.m. to make a call with the K of C representative and Sheldon. They completed the transfer quickly, and then she had supper with us. It appears that she and Nathan will be competing against each other on Super Bowl Sunday, each rooting for an opposing team. 

I cleaned the black mirror and loaded it into her car. The buyer will pick it up from her work tomorrow. Thanks, B, for being the contact. B went and fed. Yesterday she messaged Switch seemed to have a sinus infection and booked her a vet appointment tomorrow but tonight she seems better. Looks like we may wait a day or 2 and see what happens. She and Cooper headed home after 8. She had ordered me cartrophen so Harley got a shot as limping as of late again.

The news has forecast a huge shift in weather coming this weekend. It is supposed to be PLUS 10 tomorrow as a high but Saturday has a high os MINUS 20. That is 30 degree swing, WTH! We decided to go for a hot tub seeing 3 out but the wind was biting making it not as enjoyable getting in or out. I think I will be taking another 2 week hiatus from having a hot tub.

S headed to TV room to watch hockey where I delivered him a yogurt bowl. After finishing the blog post I headed to bed watching AppleTV till he came up at 10 and we started a new series called Bad Monkey.
