So today is the first full day of summer vacation for the peanut and the missy. The missy has been up for 1.5 hours; she's eaten. I told her i would help pick up. She informed me she's "resting." I was like from what? Doing nothing during summer vacation is grueling.

For someone who bitches he doesn't want to be involved DH sure allows himself to get involved. Whatever is between my dad and J is between them. Whatever decision is made in regards to the business is his decision. But yet DH keeps coming to me with ideas to "fix" things and is pissed at me that I won't "think outside the box". No I won't because it's called a boundary. I'm not getting involved outside working a few weekends if need be to cover. But DH hates that possibility so much he's suggesting we take loans to give out. Umm no. Let her make her own bed. Let him figure out where the business goes from here. Cause it'll be like helping Bob if we help her and a decision needs to be made eventually anyhow the lease is up next June. Absolutely none of it affects me. 4 years in spite of a global pandemic is pretty damn good and something to be proud of. He'll be fine financially. Our relationship doesn't suffer at all She is absolutely 100% not my problem and I refuse to set things up to where now we're potentially enmeshed with her. Honestly at this point I'd prefer she stay gone. And she could. We could do DHs plan and she still quits. Or now uses this behavior as leverage for other stuff. There is zero reward or return it'sall risk all just because DH is feeding off it. So fine I'll be the obstinate stubborn bitch. My moniker may be DQ but I think it's DH who is the DQ in real life. You know, men always say that it's women, but in my experience men are usually the drama queens. I'm a person who is nosy AF and I'll watch drama, but I'm not inserting myself. I just sit back and watch. I was talking to my former boss the other day and she was filling me in on what was going on lately. She told me she had to talk to the incompetent former assistant and tell him to quit starting shit and gossiping. Again! That dude is all about drama! If he spent half the time he did on doing his job, he would probably get one of the promotions he feels he's been passed over for.

I just sit back and watch. Right? He got mad at me because I said his idea was incredibly stupid. Well then don't give stupid ideas! I said it is not your place to try to "fix" this. He is not privy to conversations I've been having with my dad about all this and it is not his place to "save" my dad and "be the hero" who keeps the business going. I said my dad isn't 100% sure he wants to! The plan never was to run it forever. It was to run it till the end of the lease then reevaluate the ROI to see where things stood before renewing the lease. That would be next July. My mom's death and now this have potentially sped up the process. My dad isn't sure what he wants. DH sticking his nose into it would make things worse. Not to mention it makes him a mark for J. DH's ability to be optimistic and see the best in people is something I love about him but at the same time it's also something I REALLY can't stand sometimes. It leaves him open to being scammed by people like J because he can't read between the lines.

Scam? Get rich quick or maybe someone catfishing him? Scammers are out in full force right now. Given his lack of focus, he's an easy target for those willing to sweet talk him and agree with him how ungrateful his kids are. No kidding! I have been getting scam likely calls right and left. It's gotten pretty bad lately. I don't really talk on the phone so lately it's 99% of the calls I've been getting.

Maddow and I are going to the vet this afternoon. He has another UTI. I can't carry him so I asked my sister if she would go with me and she said yes. I hate having two cats with chronic conditions.
I also know UTI's can't wait.

Three of my cruise companions just tested positive for covid and a 4th is a spouse of one of them that is now exposed as well. The three went to my cousins graduation where everyone that went got it. We don't disembark until 2 weeks from today, so hopefully that's plenty of time for them to get better. Today is musical cars day for me with a lot of running back and forth from home to town. I stupidly scheduled the Fridge getting it's new mirror installed the same day Carrot has a bunch of stuff going on so that's complicated life more than I'd like.
It should be. Especially if they're vaccinated without a bunch of underlying medical problems. The people I've known who have been vaccinated and gotten it were just fine after 2 weeks. I'm so glad I was vaccinated when I got it. It knocked me on my ass over a few days and then just went away.

Laundry.
Idiot me, I schlepped the laundry to the laundry room. All 4 washers were in use (and just started) so schlepped the laundry back. 40 min later, I went back again with the laundry. 4 machines available. I started one, forgot to start the second and left the room. Back 40 min later to transfer clothes, and apparently I forgot to hit the start button on the second machine. Dumbass. I just dragged things out by 40 min.
All aboard was 3 pm, it’s 3:45 so we should be leaving soon.

My dumb dog LOVES coconut oil. I use it as lotion and Wilbur will come running as soon as I get out of the shower and wait for me to lotion so he can lick my legs. I committed the ultimate betrayal by buying different lotion. He hopped up on the bed to lick the container and it was definitely NOT coconut oil. The look on his face. So now I am expected to feed him a pea sized amount of coconut oil after I use the other lotion in compensation for his pain and suffering. He will sit on the bed staring at the oil until I give him some. Weird ass dog. It's good for his coat though at least.

Up for a couple of hours, all I've had so far is my cup of coffee, think I will eat a bowl of shredded wheat.
My appt of eye exam is 2:15, we will leave before 1, it's at least an hour drive.
I called for some prescription creme for DD. She is digging at a place on her arm and will not leave it alone. I keep treating it and it doesn't do any good with her doing that. She drives me crazy doing that to herself and has scars all over her arms. Doc sent it to pharmacy but said if it's not better by Monday bring her in. I will of course. It is infected I used peroxide on it last night that really helped but it won't if she goes after it again. I ask her way and she can't answer me. It is so frustrating. We go through this periodically. It's always something with DD and I do get so tired dealing with things like this and worse.
Need to eat something fix her something too.

You should take your new eyeglass prescription with you to Washington and check out the optical department at Costco. Fabulous frames at excellent prices, and almost always running a buy one/get one promo so you can get sunglasses too, or a new pair for your daughter. At my Costco, most frames are $70-$150 dollars, and even the designer ones are only $300. And they do a great job measuring for bifocal placement and fitting them to my head as well I will have to start looking for those sales. We let our Costco membership go, but it would be worth renewing for a B1G1 deal.

It largely depends on strength and complexity. It was very annoying, even though they’d order my gas permeable contacts. I did buy my frames there though.

And, I have to find lunch. I have few options. Ice cream shop or pizza joint (I think pizza place does salads). Dh was planning on making shakes for dinner. Now, I won't be home for dinner until late.
Do I get a shake now?
Overkill to have two shakes today? This is a big thing.

Yes No. I bought strawberry tiramisu in the Old Market. It's a calorie laden sweets bomb but my inner emotional eater is jumping for joy. Screw it after the week I had.

Sitting on the veranda as we pull away from Liverpool, on our way to Belfast. Watching the wake grow behind us. Liverpool was interesting and I got some photos of the Beetles statue and other landmarks. Next for me is the Giant's Causeway as an excursion from Belfast.
I went into one of the hot tubs this afternoon then had tea with DH who is feeling better. We stretched out on the deck lounge chairs and rested. Tonight we dine at one of the specialty restaurants. Bliss.

I surprised myself just now. I was halfway to Walmart when I realized I forgot to take my list with me. I managed to buy everything on the list, plus the bag of tater tots to function as an "ice pack" for the cold stuff while I ran into the packy for a handle of Captain Morgan for mooch tomorrow. he's coming up to install my outdoor shower, finally. yay! I can let the pups roll in whatever mud and bogs they want, if I can wash them myself.

I asked Mister if he thought horseface was the kind of person to do something shady with his Dad’s money. He said no. He told me again how when Dad was sitting right next to Mom in the hospital when somebody called him about getting LifeAlert for her and he was agreeing until Mister stopped him. So he clearly doesn’t have good judgement on that kind of thing.
I haven’t asked him about it anymore yet.

My first bid job at my current job was working on a dock where I was the only woman. That is when I first started saying that all bitches don’t have vaginas. I couldn’t believe that so many men were whiny, gossipy and messy. Not all of the ones I worked with, but enough that I was surprised.

As if I don’t already have enough going on, now I have a UTI. The symptoms started last night, and it’s already gone from 0-60 and bleeding. Like I don’t have enough painful shit already going on in my abdomen.
I have an appointment at a CVS MinuteClinic this afternoon. I’m grateful I can be seen somewhere today, but overall, I am just disgusted.

Warning it turns your pee BRIGHT neon orange. Like stains the toilet and your underwear level orange. So don't freak out.
