Hot and Irritated

Here is the gallery.

Okay, my hard drive is dying so we got it on its last leg till I can afford a $500 new hard drive and pray I can get the files off as that is my drive that has all my photos on it. Of course. I am not happy but there we are. I will pray that it will last till I can get a new one. Joy - not.

Had a dog kick off one of my clippers and it is broken. That repair or replacement has to wait. I am glad I do have 2 other clippers but these were my tummy and feet clippers. We will deal.

More bad news has come today but not getting into it. 

It is hot yet again. I mean every day seems to be hot. It could be snow so there is that!

It is my day off tomorrow so I am hopeful I can get some downtime and not downtiming trying to fix a computer. When it rains, it pours. We just tested the drive and it is truly dead. 

I need to wait to mow the lawn. Nathan can't. The son is in Japan and Dennis is allergic to fresh cut grass where he breaks out and gets a really bad migraine. So, yet another job for me to have on my plate. It's reached a level of - well it is beyond funny. I need to wait till it is cooler to mow. 

Dogs do like to go outside with me but to be honest, they enjoy the indoors and wouldn't you too? I am so thankful we have air conditioning. So, I am lucky, I say! I hope you are too! 

I need to get my act together and get ready for pups coming. I can't be a slacker. 

Can't wait till the sun goes down so we can hang outside. Fresh air is a good thing!

Hope your day is better. If not, my thoughts and heart are with you!
