I don’t know how I could have packed any more into this day.  But, I did try!

Flyer’s first seizure at 1:30am set the pace for the remainder of the day, constant attention to her while juggling a myriad of other tasks.  The bulk of the early part of the morning was spent readying the living room for the new leather sofa and love seat. I cleaned, mopped with the steam mop, cleaned some more.

Flyer experienced four seizures throughout the day, and I suspect an additional one while I was out this evening. I steam-cleaned the study carpet after her 11:00am seizure. Of course, I should have waited.

Nick and Emily Rogers arrived to move the old sofa and love seat out to the front yard. I posted them on Craig’s List, and sometime after 3:00pm, a Hispanic gentleman knocked on the door, and was a very appreciative recipient of the 20 year old furniture.

Somtime after the Noon hour, the gentlemen arrived with the new furniture. Within the hour, the living room was completed.

I honestly cannot recall all the other things I accomplished before setting off for the tractor supply place in Beavercreek to purchase much more reasonably priced dog food and treats. They also had hose nozzles with adjustable settings on sale. I had some money remaining in my furniture account and I finished off the new leather sofas with striped pillows that match the red, yellow/gold and green in my window treatments and table coverings.

Upon my return home, I fed the dogs, and went to the front yard with Flyer for one last project to complete the day. I made brick frames/borders around two flower pots to set off the entrance to the stone walk from the public sidewalk.  Just as I was beginning the project, The Pollocks – Brian, Joanie and Tyler – along with Kayla, arrived to see the new sofas. I completed the project in record time while chatting and laughing up a storm.

The Pollocks toured the house with all the changes, and then we set out for Rita’s to finish the day. I love laughing, and I believe my daily quota – if there is such a thing – was well spent through next month.

Back at home, I started the dish washer, and set out on a very short walk with the dogs. Flyer’s roller coast ride seems to be down hill once, again, and she seemed to struggle with this walk. At first she seemed hesitant to even go on the walk, but once the excitement set in with the other two, she rallied. Still, the gallant little trooper seemed to be putting too much effort into the walk, and we made it to the main drive of the high school before turning back.

I putzed around some more, thinking I was officially calling it a day at 1:00am. However, here it is with 15 minutes remaining before 2:00am and I am still going.
