mysecretlife's blog post - been hectic

Been so busy last two days. Worked Wed and we were up most of the night, then base meeting Thursday morning, so instead of getting off at 0800 I got away from there at 1300. Came home to find the house a wreck. I had planned to take Niki to work with me when I worked but since some bigwigs from headquarters were coming to the base meeting I thought I might should leave her at home. I barricaded her in the kitchen where I have tile floors which I still cover with newspapers. Left out enough food and water and arranged for my daughter to check on her.

One thing I saw the other night while flying was pretty neat. We see ground fog all the time but the temp and conditions were just right and the fog was up way off the ground. It was like the clouds were falling out of the sky. The pilot had to maneuver around a lot because company policy forbids them to fly into conditions where visiblity is limited so we flew past these clouds. But it was almost like you pulled a plug in the bottom and they were draining to the ground. Pretty neat. In the early a.m. we had another flight and I wore the night vision goggles and it was snowing. The flakes were huge and reflected what light there was and that was pretty neat to.

Well, little dogs can make big messes. She got out of the kithcen chewed up rugs, drug newspaper into every room she could get into. Also left 3 little reminders outside my bedroom door. Also a couple in the living room. She did at least pee on what newspaper she didn't drag out of the kitchen. Now I remember why I have always liked outside dogs. She also has such little wicked sharp teeth.

After getting home I just cleaned up a little of the mess, mostly the smelly stuff and showered and went to meet my daughter for lunch. After lunch we went to order her a bassinet. She is about ready for the baby.

I came home and hit the couch for a nap. Niki took on in her crate. She doesn't like it much but settles down after a few min of crying. Took a good nap and got up just long enough to take Niki out and then went to bed.

Today was just errands and piddly stuff. Did finish getting the house back in order, at least the usual level of order. Tonight I am watching one of the grand boys while my youngest goes out to supper for her birthday with some friends. He will be here soon. I am wondering how he and Niki are going to do together. I would say fine except for Niki's biting. Be so glad when she outgrows that.

You all have a good evening and take care.
