NOT The True Definition Of "Heave" Ho!

I was awakened this morning, around 5AMish, to the sounds of Ms. Trixie heaving!

So, I bolted out of bed in the hopes of somehow controlling or containing what was about to come but alas I was too late.

Mind you, Ms. Trixie sleeps on my bed, on her own blanket.  Even in my stupor I was thinking if she vomits on her blanket it'll be fine but nooooooooo!

As Murphy's Law goes, she missed her blanket entirely and instead puked on my heated comforter, down the side of the bed, onto the white bed skirt, which then piled onto the carpet, OMG!

It all happened so fast, in an instant really.

Of course at this point and still half asleep, I am NOT happy, NOT AT ALL, so I quickly rush Ms. Trixie downstairs and put her outside, where she remained.

Okay, she had an upset stomach, I get it but why down the side of my bed?!  Why this morning of all mornings?! And here's the kicker, I have an open house this morning at 11:30AM, so instead of a relaxing Sunday morning with my coffee, I'm cleaning up dog vomit, stripping my bed, flipping mattresses and needing to do multiple loads of laundry, all in the hopes of getting everything washed, dried and the bed put back together and made before I need to be outta here for the open house.  On top of that, can you put an electric blanket in the washing machine, then in the dryer?  Chances are, because Mr. Murphy is a dick, the answer is no, no you can't, not without ruining it, UGH!

Trying to stay positive and on the bright side of all this.  It was time to flip my mattress anyway, which entails stripping all the linens from the bed, washing them and then putting everything back in place. The good news is that when all is said and done I'll have a nice fresh, clean bed to curl up into this evening.

The jury is still out on whether Ms. Trixie will be sleeping with me tonight on the freshly laundered linens...

Bikes Bikes Bikes!

With spring upon us, riding season isn't too far off!

I've not been as diligent as I should have been over the winter months and just started working on cleaning my bike.  Much more work needed to get her sparking - on my list.  Have a couple of upgrades coming too, so stay tuned.

Here are a couple pics of what spiffy, shinned and polished Harley Davidson bikes look like.  They'll blind you in the sunlight with all this chrome!  A sea of colors too -

Confetti!

Did a bit of house keeping this weekend and organized my file cabinet.

I went through all the documents and files, pulled the ones that I no longer needed or wanted to hold onto, and then alphabetized the folders\documents I kept.  Was able to reduce two full drawers of docs down to one well organized drawer.

I further sorted the documents I pulled to be recycled and those with personal information, e.g. bills, financials, old tax documents, etc., I spent hours shredding; literally hours! Well my documents anyway.  There was SO much to shred, that I was able to completely fill a 30-gallon leaf bag! 

Very nice to get this to-do tackled and completed!

Bubble Boy!

Yes sir, another fall project completed today!

The yearly bay window winterization shrink wrap installation project.

Before sealing things up I pulled the screens, washed the inside windows and applied a thick coat of gel wood furniture polish to the wood, targeting the base as it's getting dried out being in direct sun.  Added a thick blanket to the base.  Oh, and I washed all the window drapes in the living room too!  Can't remember when or if they've been washed since being hung but they look better.

Now, when to turn the heat on in this room, hmmm 🤔
