I caved

House temp 58 degrees

Tonight Low 34.


I was holding out until November 1st.

The one thing I've taken away from all of this:

My body was conditioned to 62 degrees. I wasn't that cold. Yeah, I was snuggled up on the couch with my blanket. I was still running around in a tee & no socks. At work... wasn't cold (for once)!

However, my dog shakes like he's been put in a walk-in cooler. What a pus!

I'll miss you Fluffy

My bearded dragon Fluffy died on Monday. She was 6 years old. I came home from work and she was upside down in her cage. I went from rage (at DH for not noticing) to crying. We buried her in a shoe back in the back yard.

We were still at the apartment when I got her. My kitty & Fluffy were our first pets together. It sucks to have a pet die. It doesn't get any easier. I will always remember my bearded dragon.
We moved her cage to the garage, so I didn't have to look at it in the office.



Fluffy RIP 2006-2011

I had a nice weekend.

Fiber Festival & Halloween Party on Saturday.

Sunday: Cleaned house.

I bought some pretty fiber to spin (I didn't need). I carpooled with some of my favorite girls. We arrived at the Saline Fairgrounds and before we got into the sheds, we saw some other spinning girls. I love the fiber community!! I learned how to needle felt. I picked up an old textile spindle (I collect them), 4oz white wool, 4oz of brown alpaca, a organic hemp change purse & an awesome bump of alpaca, copper gliz, wool & angora. I also saw a camel & and bought 1oz of his/her fiber!
Later that night was my sister's Halloween party. It was interested..... That's all I can say...... Interesting

Sunday:
Vacuumed
Washed the Curtains
Dick fixed the Rod in the living room.
Cooked Lemon, honey, garlic soy chicken legs in the crockpot. It was yummy.

I lost my phone. One week exact! It was in my winter hoodie behind my bedroom door. Doh! I didn't miss it one bit! I'm terrible with my phone.

Not much going on lately...

I made Bison chili for the first time on Sunday. We took a bike ride at Dodge Park. It was so pretty! I veered off the path a few times looking up into the trees (not paying attention)

We went to Baseline Feed to pick up hay for the Rabbits. Oooo It's nice & fresh for being in the city area. The owner was very excited about his hay. We will be shopping there again.

Dick had a show Saturday night at Skippers. I had a good time. What a great turn out! One band had a 4-string banjo. I was like YAY! BANJO!!!!

Garden Front:
Clean up!
More Green Beans
Rabbit's had an afternoon of playing in the garden (Saturday)
