November Challenge Day 6

Today’s challenge is to list your pet peeves. I really can’t think of a lot of pet peeves that I have. Mainly I think I have two.

1.  My kids could tell you this one.  I have said it for as long as I can remember. It’s people who say, “I could care less.”  If you could care less, then please do care less.  What is really meant is, “I couldn’t care less.”  I know. That sounds very petty, but for some reason it just grates on my nerves and I hear it a lot. 

2.  The other thing is the unbelievable rudeness of people in public. Rude in so many different ways. Manners seem to be completely gone and just plain being mean to people seems to be the norm.  Everyone seems to want their own way these days and many feel that their opinion is the only one that matters. Sometimes I’m glad that I don’t go very many places anymore because of the virus. I don’t have to be exposed to the mean pettiness that seems to be so prevalent.  I just stay safe in my little cocoon. 😍

Chloe had to go to the vet this morning for her six month check because of the medication she takes for arthritis. They have to check her liver to make sure the medication isn’t affecting it negatively. The vet just cannot believe that she is a 15-year-old dog. She says that whatever we’re doing to keep on doing it because she’s one of the healthiest dogs she’s seen in a long time. Chloe is losing her hearing and some of her sight, but that’s just a normal consequence of aging. The vet said her heart is in fantastic condition and she loves to run and play with the other dogs here at the park.

I did see a sign outside as I was waiting for them to bring Chloe back out to me, (they come to the car and get her and bring her back out. I’m not allowed to get out of the car at all.) Anyway, the sign said “Please remember social distancing. Keep two great Danes or seven Chihuahuas between you!”  I thought that was hilarious.

I finished a C.C. Hat and a pair of mittens that will be a Christmas gift. I ended up making three mittens because after I made one, I thought it was probably too big for the recipient, so I went down a size. Now I’ll make a matching one for the big mitten and put it in the donation bag. Maybe one of the teachers will need some mittens too.

That’s about it for me. Dennis stopped on his way home from work tonight and picked up a pizza. Pizza Hut had large three topping pizzas for just $9.99. That’s a pretty good deal and it will be both dinner tonight and our lunch tomorrow. Take care my friends and hopefully I’ll be back tomorrow with day seven of the challenge.

Blessings,
