I don't think last night was what any of us were expecting. 😂

I don't think last night was what any of us were expecting. 😂

When we were eating dinner, the wind kicked up pretty hard (not unusual for here), but it also started raining hard.

I ran outside and started moving my plants into the greenhouse because I really hate for them to be watered from the top. If water remains on them, it can cause rot and the leaves can also get burn spots if the water is still there when the sun comes back out.

The roof and walls of the greenhouse are up, but the floor isn't done, my shelves aren't in, and in general, moving plants quickly in the dark and the rain is not ideal. Not to mention that I really, really wanted to clean the dust, bird poop, and any possible pests off of them before putting them in there, but at this point I'm just glad I had somewhere dry to put them.

Shaun came out to help me and about the same time we were done moving them, the rain had passed. Of course. 😒 What I didn't know was that there was more on the way. By the time I went to bed, it was raining again. It rained for a long time. I fell asleep listening to it.

I woke up this morning to two funny messages from Shadow. One:  We have a little roof leak in the stairwell. He put a cup underneath to catch it. (This one's only funny because it won't rot my house like it would've in Alabama. It'll dry fast here. We'll get it checked out/repaired and it'll be fine.)

The second message, well, see the image. 😂

This is funny because we ordered a microwave from Best Buy several weeks ago, but it never came, so Shaun called customer service and they sent out another one. We got the second one according to the tracking numbers. But just the other day, the one we ordered first showed up after being lost in the mail for weeks. We assumed it had been stolen. But anyway, it's been sitting in the living room, new in the box, because we didn't know what to do with it. I guess that sorted itself out. 😂

I haven't been awake for long. It's cool and cloudy, so very tempting to stay in bed with my weighted blanket and the cats. But I guess I need to get up, see if we can finish the greenhouse, and check on my plants.

Happy Saturday, y'all. ❤️

That was neat. 😊

They purposely had me thirsty...

I'm accidentally awake too early.

I'm accidentally awake too early. SUPER thirsty. Can't eat or drink anything until after my CT scan in a few hours (I moved it from Wednesday to today).

I can go days without food, but water is LIFE. 😫

Look at these dogs:

Look at these dogs:

Construction Bear and Supervisor Cub have been working hard today.

Cub is really good at observing from a distance when we're busy... but Bear is up in EVERYTHING we do. 😂

We got the top and sides put on the greenhouse today.

There are paw prints and scratch marks on a few of my brand new walls. (It's fine - it has character now.) When Shaun was up a ladder stretching to screw in some screws, Bear stood up against the wall, too. When Shaun climbed the ladder, Bear walked through the bottom rungs. When I was grabbing the nuts to the bolts that Shaun was screwing in, there was a purposefully placed paw in the parts box. When Shaun went to look out of the window, Bear followed like "What are we lookin' at?"  😂😂😂

I've had dogs who are interested in what we're doing, but never one as interested as Bear and certainly never one who seemed to try to imitate our moves like he does. He's so interesting. We love him to pieces. I am so, so thankful that Shaun has so much patience for this pup (and all of the animals, really).

I could've had a ton of cute photos of Bear today, but I was helping on breaks from work and I know that Shaun is sore and tired of working on this greenhouse. We just buckled down to get as much done as we could.

We need to do the straps over the top and attach it to the ground. We also need to finish the floor and get some shelves set up. Then it'll be ready for my plants! 😁

I think I missed my Monkey Tail bloom.

I think I missed my Monkey Tail bloom. Also, I've missed this other cactus bloom - again. It bloomed twice this year and I didn't see it either time. 😒

Shaun has been slowly but surely building this greenhouse. Today he got a good bit done because it was cloudy and cool. It just rained, so he's done for the day. We have both ends/doors up; maybe the top/side pieces won't take too long. Hopefully, we'll have it pretty much done by the weekend.

Also, here is a rainbow.

Me: Working and minding my business.

Bear, making his rounds and checking on me: "What doin?"

I love this goofy child. His face just makes my whole day. I got some sweet, toothy kisses, too. ❤️

I don't think I could ever go back to not working from home. My life is infinitely better because I get to be here with the ones who love me. The short breaks to pet a kitty, cuddle Cub, and kiss Bear's lip are the biggest perks. ❤️❤️❤️
