PEANUT....

Yesterday I came home and was hungry since I’d had a very early lunch. There wasn’t much in the fridge as I haven’t gone shopping yet this week. I took out a piece of garlic/pepper bread to toast and spread some awesome organic peanut BUTTER on it. Yum. It was sooo good that I just had to have a second piece of toast. Needless to say, I was not hungry for dinner a little later.

When John met up with me he was quick to let me know that Teddy had been naughty that day. Apparently he had managed to unscrew the lid off a jar of ROASTED peanuts that John had left sitting on a table next to his seat by the TV. I have some doubts if the lid was truly on the jar but regardless the jar would have been better off in the cupboard. Oh well. I’d say John will have to live without having peanuts until he buys himself some more.

Since it was cold in the house, John and I decided to get in the hot tub to warm up. I’m sure glad we have one. We use it all the time. From the hot tub I notice that our peanut BUTTER BUSH is, after several years, finally starting to bloom. It has beautiful red flowers at the end of each steam that are supposed to turn into red berries and eventually purple as time goes on. I can’t wait to see the process.

We watched the news and a movie that was pretty lame, and I was more than ready for bed as I had not been sleeping particularly well the last few days due to hot flashes and the vertigo that I’m still harboring. Now, Da Boys like to snuggle under the covers with us, and usually sometime during the night, jump out when they get too warm and go to their doggy bed. At some point during the night I again woke up but not for the usual reasons. I smelled bad in my bed! Several thoughts ran through my head. Had John cut the cheese or did one of Da Boys cut the cheese? Gross!!! I kicked Otis out of bed who was still snuggling by my feet and proceeded to fan out the bedding... trying to vent out the odor. After several attempts I noticed that it didn’t help. I contemplated moving to another bedroom and leave all the male species to themselves. Then it hit me! I jumped out of bed, and yes I was right. There was peanut POO all over my carpet in front of the bedroom door. It looked like someone, or something as the case may be, had taken several fists full of peanuts and scattered them all over. Thank you John for leaving your peanuts out and Teddy for helping yourself to them earlier in the day.

Another sleepless night! Grrrr.
