Bad night, did not sleep much at all...

 

... been up since 12:42 A.M., a headache woke me up with neck pain too,...so I put on my cervical collar, and had some coffee ( coffee is a vasodilator)... it was too soon to take more Tylenol... now I have, and I am back in bed,... but my dilemma is it's a pool day and Hubby checked the temp, and even with all the rain we had it's at 85 degrees F, considered perfection!

Sometimes I can fall back to sleep after a good dose of java, but last night, make that the wee hours of this morning it did not happen... thus me still up since then!

I did try during the night to do just that, tried to fall back to sleep, but Hubby thinks I should have tried longer than fifteen minutes...although those seemed like they were a very long fifteen minutes, ya know, when you are trying to accomplish something like that?

Everything seems way too long...!

Any-who, Hubby set me

up with one of our walkies-talkies...while he continues to work outside. We could text and it is free, but so are these, free that is, but with this, you can hear a human voice when you talk too...!

I am just exhausted but still can't seem to sleep... heaven knows I did try again...!

My exhaustion is affecting my walking, that is my ability to walk thus why I got into bed via my walker slow and steady got me here from the living room!

We, Hubby and I, both had just hardboiled eggs for breakfast, we make a bunch when we make our soft-boiled ones, and we had two left.

The ones we buy are the lower cholesterol ones.

Moving on...

Today many counties children, in our state, go back to school and the controversy over wearing masks is still in flux, i.e. mandates.

With the delta variants of the virus causing over 13K in hospitalizations and dozens of deaths, and nearly 24,000 new cases of infection in just one day, in this state of unrest, called FLORIDA!... The very least anyone should do is to WEAR A MASK, and GO GET VACCINATED!!!

Although our GUBERNATOR is still threatening different counties in our state, if they try mandating masks instead of going by his decree of choice they will not get any financial aid, which is federal monies NOT STATE MONIES!!! And is EARMARKED FOR THE SCHOOLS!!! Isn't mal use of federal funds against the law???

How can he do this with a law degree, he should know better!!!

Ha, what am I thinking!!!

Misappropriating funds appears to be the way of his party!

Then complaining when others do not conform to their ideals.

Shouting out in vane!!! No one hears no one cares...!

Lastly, our morning sunrise...!

Yesterday afternoons stats, only time will tell what today will bring, hmm?

Maybe a dip in the pool will help me take a nap?

And so we must go, for now ...

Please be smart, as well as safe.

Have a very pleasant day.

Count those blessings, and we will too!

Next time, please be here or be square, ya hear!

Aussie, say good day!

I am Aussie, not being from Australia, but American-made, I will comply anyway, for the fun of it,... so I will say good day!

I am called Aussie because my Mom asked a sixteen-year-old girl, who had been looking at me in the crate at the adoption site that day she was asked what she thought I should be named, and without hesitation, the teenager had said Aussie! She was just looking, by the way,... so Mom did not steal me from her.
We never did find out the girl's name, and Mom liked the name Aussie too. We have since found out that it is a very common name, but it is still just right for me! My parents think that I am uncommon though,... some might say even unique! I do like that.
I am an Australian Shepherd. Here is an interesting factoid about me, I was supposed to be a miniature Australian Shepherd, but... as you might know, I AM NOT! Although I am now three years old, so I am the baby, though I tip the scales at around seventy pounds, HA! I must admit, a very big one!
I was three months old when Mommy and Daddy adopted me. I had been taken out of a hoarder's home in the Carolinas with my litter. Below is my new PIC that had been taken on the birthday that I share with my Dad, but Dad is much, much older than me!!! I was the first to be adopted, February 16, 2018, his brother's birthday.

3 months................................................ 3 years

No tail/tale publishing, circa 2018. (Although the actual date this blog was started was June 25, 2008.) 

Get it? I was born without a tail, preferable for all Australian Shepherds; only one out of five are born that way!

                                           

Hello, I am Bella in the picture above, a Maltese Yorkie, a Morkie, and I might be five years old. I am the middle child, so I am what you would expect, with all those idiosyncrasies that go along with all that! Being the only girl has its rewards, as well as difficulties... We are all rescues, so no one knows for sure our ages. I was turned in by my previous family, stating that I was misbehaving with their elderly dog, they had said I was driving him crazy! I was the second to be adopted on 8/18/18, on clear out the shelters' day!Oh, by the way, my record's called me Belle, and so for no known reason, Mom decided I was more of a Bella; beautiful either way!

Please don't forget me, I am Chance, pictured above, a Bichon Frise! I am six years old, so they think, and the eldest, and I like getting up early with Mom and Aussie. Bella sleeps in with Dad, till after seven most days, even later! I enjoy a good tug-a-war on the ropes that Dad had twisted for Aussie and me, and sometimes even Bella plays too! I was the last to be adopted, on January 23, 2020. 

I was wandering the neighborhood for days and then saw Aussie and Bella in their living-room window, so I hung out there... The Animal Welfare League checked me out and kept me for sixteen days until I was allowed to be adopted. Good evening? 

The animal control lady was called and came out to see if I had a chip I.D. with her machine, and Dad told her that he wanted to name me Chance. His reason being, that if no one claimed me, I want to give him a second chance! So that is how I got the name Chance!

Easy as Aussie, Bella, Chance, now you got it!
