Day 62 – The Good Day

Today was just an overall good day.  I got to talk to several of my favorite people today!   I got home in daylight and played with Nickel.  This toy is just great.  He loves it and it is fun.  Today he tired out a little but, I think he might have hurt himself just a little.

I am currently catching up on my YouTube shows and that is fun for me :)

Today I have been sneezing like all day.  I hope hope hope I am not getting sick since I am out of town next week!!

I didn’t take any pictures today so that is still a struggle.  I am going to grab some food.  I ate lunch really late so now dinner is really late :(

Day 61 – The Day of the Tuff Toys

Today was pretty good.  I got a thank you award for helping out on this project and that felt really nice.  I got one yesterday as well so I am just really feeling good right now about the work I have done and feel very energized for the work still to come!

I stopped on the way home to do a couple things.  One, I had an order arrive at Home Depot – piece of cake :) Next I decided to stop and try to get the dogs some more durable toys because Nickel has been being very bad and getting everything he is not allowed to have.  Today he took one of my pillows and one of my flip flops.  Now, normally I do put my shoes up in the bathroom and close that door, but I forgot today so I am just very happy he didn’t get too far with them :)  I paid like $45 for toys that are supposed to be Tuff Toys – basically for destructive dogs!  So, wanna guess how long it took for two of the dogs to kill two of the toys?  Less than an hour!!!

I also stopped at Publix and picked up a couple things and one was Cherry Garcia!  That is my favorite ice cream :)  Everyone should try it and they will also love it 😉

I have a meeting tomorrow with Construction and am a very excited to visit with them.  I also am supposed to have some dinner with one of the folks I met a couple months ago on Thursday night.  He is super nice and I may be able to have dinner with him again on my next trip which will be very nice.  Gotta make time for the friends!!

I wanna get a picture on here, but I don’t feel like getting the Mac out of my back pack – how lazy can I get :)  I am gonna try to add it via my iPad – lets see :)  SUCCESS!!!!!!

Cherry Garcia!!!!!

Tuff toy - yeah right!

Day 60 – The Dog Day Evening

I got the best dog toy today!!!  Nickel absolutely loved it and I thought that I had tired him out but he can just keep going and going and going!!!  It was so much fun.  The only problem was that the other dogs were not able to play at the same time.  So tomorrow I am going to try to really tire him out and see if the others will play some.  Will have to take them out one at a time obviously :)

I also got a new date book today.  I absolutely love Moleskine books and that is what I got.  I just finished numbering the days so that I can know what day of days it is :)

Had a very productive day at work today.  I got tons of stuff done and it made me happy.  It has been hard to get motivated to do anything really so I just pushed myself and it came easy, felt like normal again.  I also went for a walk after work with one of the ladies on my floor and that was nice too.  I was hoping to start running today, but my foot is still hurting really bad.  I don’t think I mentioned it in the blog but it has been hurting since last Wednesday or so.  Bummer :(

Sorry it is so short, but I really need to go to be because I have been watching YouTube instead of doing this and now it is really late.

Alright – BYE!!!!!

 

Day 59 – A Day of Laughs

Today was a great day.  My cousin and his wife came over today and so did Carlos.  When they got here we went to a couple places and then went to get lunch and came back to eat.  Well before we went to eat we were messing around with the puppies and while Dime jumped on Stacy knocking her glasses off so Nickel picked that prize up and ran like a crazy dog.  She said he didn’t damage them, but he was running around for a good 5 minutes just out of our reach :)

We went to Home Depot to get the last of my crates for the bedroom – I think :)  Then we went to Pet Smart and got some harnesses for the puppies so that I could maybe take them places.  Then we got food and came home.

What made it the day of laughs was how much Stacy, Carlos and I laughed at Nickel stealing the sunglasses.  I will try to get back to the blog later tonight if anything cool happens :)

This is the last touch for the bedroom for the crate project - I think :)

Day 58 – The Day of the Fire Ombre

I got my hair done today and I am loving it!!!!  I will post pictures below.

Paul and Carlos came over, but I didn’t have anything for them to do really except I was tasked with going to a new restaurant in Middleburg and report on the food.  So we did and here it is: Farmhouse Chicken & Donuts

Then it was time to go to my hair appointment.  It was at 15:45 and I didn’t get out of there until 19:00!!  But I love the way it came out.

This is the before!!

Farmhouse Chicken & Donuts – Middleburg, FL

Farmhouse Chicken & Donuts
2475 Blanding Blvd #7, Middleburg, FL 32068

This place was AMAZING!!!!  We got a couple things and they were all very good.  They were:

  • Redd Foxx
  • Apple Fritter

The Redd Foxx is a fried chicken breast on a glaze donut bun.  It comes with wedges or fries and we all got wedges.  These wedges were amazing in their own right.  The chicken breast was slightly dry, but the glaze on the donut got caramelized and that was super good.  You could tell that the donuts were made fresh, they just have a much better taste then something like DD or KK.

The apple fritters were excellent as well.  They were a little too big but has very good flavor.  The only thing to note is that I did not get any pieces of actual apple.  But, for me, that makes it perfect!!!  I actually don't love cooked fruit so, again, it was great.  I usually cook them in the microwave for 30 second and it heats it up just enough.  The glaze is like what was on the donut and it is a little sweeter than I have found at other places, but not overboard.

Now, the bad news...  If you want to eat you must get there very close to when they open.  Also, the seating arrangement is very tight and not too many tables, I think there were 6.  We actually got ours to go so we didn't have to worry too much about it.  Also, it did take a good bit of time to get the food.

Day 57 – The First Loot Crate Day

I got my first LootCrate today!!  It is basically a box of stuff.  It’s nothing crazy, it’s just fun.

So, had a couple funny things today.  I downloaded the Face Swap Live app on my phone and did it with my coworkers – it was so funny.  I will post them below.  Then when I get home I have been told of Nickel’s latest craziness.  He has taken my hand weights as toys – he is playing with a 6 pound weight like it is a rag doll.  He is so funny, luckily he has not torn them up, but it is proof that he must not be left with things that you care about.

I downloaded an example business plan for a rental property to try to work on that a little bit.  Again, I am basically having a learning experience and not really too concerned about convincing people to agree to it.  I mean the goal is to present something that they would agree to invest in, but that doesn’t mean that it is going to happen.

Alright, going to get to work on it.  Let me get these pictures uploaded first.

Day 56 – The Day of the Tiny House

So the project that I want to do is a tiny house to rent out.  Not to rent out to a live in family but like on Airbnb.  So we would have this extra space for people to stay and when we can rent it out on a place like Airbnb.  I am going to do all the research and come up with a business plan to see if this is something that could even work out here.  I am not 100% sure that we can split the property even, but again, this is all part of the research.  At this point I am just enjoying the idea of planning it out and I am not going to be heart broken if it can’t be done.

Also, the internet is down right now which really sucks because I had work I wanted to do tonight and now I can’t.  It has been being weird lately and now just completely out.  I am so happy I get to call them :(

I almost forgot the best part of the day…  Nickel has decided to destroy Penny’s bed.  Here is the aftermath of that – enjoy!

Day 55 – The Day of the Great Storm

Today was supposed to be bands and bands of bad storms here and when it was time for me to go to work it looked horrible out and started to pour so I decided to work from home.  By like 10:00 or maybe even 09:30 the sun was out like nothing ever happened.  The winds are still very high, but so beautiful out.

I just ordered me the last of the crates I need to finish my project, they should be here in the next couple days so I can get it done this weekend.  That should get everything off my floor and somewhat organized :)

I ordered an extra one to be a toy box for the dogs toys – lets see if I can get them to put them up when they are done!  That can’t be that hard to teach them.

I took my dad to get his hair cut today and I hadn’t realized just how long his hair was – wow!!!!

I opened the window today thinking the dogs would like it but they could have cared less.  They have been so bad lately barking in the house.  Nickel is getting more aggressive – I have got to get that under control.  I should rephrase that to he has been more of a bully.

No pictures today it is amazing how hard it is to take at least one a day.

Alright gonna go to bed now it’s already late and while I keep yawning I can’t seem to fall asleep.

Day 54 – The Day of Gas

So I walked outside this afternoon to let the dog out and it smelled like gasoline.  Walk around the house and the tank of the black car is leaking.  So spent a good bit of time dealing with that and it is still leaking now.

Got a couple packages today, more of the magnetic chargers for the phones and also stuff to bath the puppies – very good stuff.

I got some good pictures of the puppies today, they are so stinking cute :)
