Tried called client from Rite-Aid for the graham cookies as Rite-Aid don't have it. Got two $1 each Mrs. Field's cookies instead. Payaso doll on the kitchen table with a note for me to wrap it and put cookies for the girl next door as she wnt with her mom when the mom went and helped with the dog last night. Client had pastrami sandwich for lunch, Diet Coke and potato cheese chips. Happy with her lunch :) Wrapped payaso doll with gift wrap as client wanted, gave her the pain med., the pain cream and returned her expired debit card. Left the wrapped doll on neighbor's front door and got 4 bins for "greens" back in the backyard. Client had the Calcium and Atenolol. Turned on tv. Left 1:05 pm and was on the car when I went back on the backdoor and checked on the dog's leash as I had noticed I really didn't noticed it on where it used to be. Got back inside (dog just started eating) asked client about leash and she doesn't know, says about the lady neighbor who brought back dog inside last night. So I just went and tied the leash that we didn't used as it was long, tied it up outside on the rail and shortened it by tying a plastic in there and put end behind the backdoor as the missing leash used to be at. Put dog outside and brought him back in. Told client again I'm leaving. Left 1:15 pm.

Told me she wanted me to returned bad from Marshall's she got that she doesn't know when she got it.
