Red Hot & Senile

Have A Red Hot Hump Day

My dog has lost her mind. Seriously. I think she's getting senile. She's just doing ... bizarre stuff. She's old -- a hell of a lot older than I am (in dog years, of course), so I suspect that's the crux of it right there. Schedules, for example, are becoming impossible. She sleeps all day -- until she decides not to. She refuses to adhere to her normal potty schedule, forcing me to take her out in the dark at night. After sleeping all day, she paces all evening and refuses to lie down 'til I go to bed. And she won't sleep in her bed; instead, she's sleeping on the floor in front of the front door. I'm about to lose my mind, too, trying to figure out her increasingly bizarre behavior, not to mention the mountain of other bizarre stuff I have to deal with. Life is just -- bizarre.  Including my new upstairs neighbor, who I'm probably going to end up throwing a hissy fit at.  And not just because he looks like Charlie Manson.

You don't want to know the last time I had a red hot anything, but it's still Hump Day. Enjoy!

Thats so sad that you haven't had any red-hot opportunities.

(p.s. - do NOT wear flowery dresses, pony tails or look young and impressionable around that neighbor, Also: NO bare feet or accepting his invitation to listen to him play guitar. Trust me, I watch a LOT of documentaries.)

Well, I had me some literary red hot when I read the "Fifty Shades of Grey" series. OY! Made me wish I was still pre-menopausal. LOL! I think your dog is turning into a cat. ;-) xo

It is rather sad, Mr. G-man. First things first, though, to be dealt with.:-)

Pugsley, if you're talking about those little red heart-shaped cinnamon red-hots, no dice. They give me heartburn. And I think I watched that same documentary; I ain't going near the dude.;)

I haven't read it, Marion, but my sister did. She had much the same reaction you did. LOL. You may be right about the dog; I never even thought about that.:)

The only 'red hots' I encounter are when I'm fool enough to try something in my kitchen...

Lee said...

She sounds a bit like me! Your dog...not your upstairs neighbour!! ;)

Lee said...

And as for "Fifty Shades"...I enjoyed the trilogy. And I missed Christian and Ana when I finished reading the books!!!

Serena said...

LOL, Skunk. Thank God there are takeout menus for people like us.;)

I'm going to get around to reading it, Lee. Don't quite know why I've been procrastinating.:)

Lee said...

You'll get hooked in, Serena. The author, E.L. James is a very seductive writer, in describing her that way, I mean her writing coaxes you willingly to keep turning the pages.

There are many who claim she is a 'bad writer'...well I wish I could write as badly as her! It's probably only sour grapes on their parts because they envy the money she's made! ;)

Serena said...

I hear you, Lee. I, too, wish I were as "bad" a writer as she.:)

Can't get excited about "50 Shades". I'm stubborn like that. One of my local radio stations (they're so shy) is reading passages each day. Good enough for me, even though they are compelled to replace words (nipples becomes "nickels" for instance).

I'm lucky enough to have my share of red hot days at this stage of my life....

I am fortunate to have more than my share of red hot days and nights... maybe that's why I'm not compelled.

Quid, you're a lucky girl.:)
