Weekend Wrap-up

I had a cold! Grrrrr! I started a new job/position on October 10. On that day the computer guy had to install my programs and printers. He had a raging cough; productive, constant hacking. He was on my computer, my mouse, sitting at my desk, spewing. Ugh.

On October 19 in the afternoon I developed a sore throat. Uh oh. Not cool! And had a sneezing fit later in the day. On the 20th I had a snotty nose. Grrrrrr! I have not had a Cold in years and years. I don’t appreciate Typhoid Larry showing up at work and spreading his microbes around!

Thursday night I apparently snored loudly, which also means I got some sleep! Friday night I had a coughing fit that woke me up, choking and unable to get a breath in edgewise. He was snoring through it all so I didn’t wake him up. I woke Irene up, though. She was sleeping on the desk chair and escorted me to the bathroom.

Saturday was mild but overcast, with no rain predicted. I slept until 7:30! I love our new blinds. In the past this would not have been really possible with the Sun shining into the living room. Everybody was waiting by the gate for me! After that I proceeded to do laundry, straighten up the kitchen, swept the floor.

He was scraping the remaining remnants of glue from the hallway, in anticipation of the Pergo installation. He’ll need a leveling compound to finish the prep work. I know a trip to HomeDepot is in our future. We also need to go to his mother’s place and stop by the old house. He loaded up the old tile from where it has been resting on the patio, dropping this off at the dump. On the way home we stopped at the Red Rooster for lunch.

While he applied the leveling compound I groomed the boys, trimming their manes, ears, legs, getting the mud off of them. I feed them all and scoot off to the grocery.

The sun finally came out for a glorious sunset. It’s dark by 6:15.
Sunday was a sparkling day, but we get a late start. Those new blinds make it possible to sleep in! I clean up the stalls, eat breakfast and start the dishwasher.

We head off for the LOMH with the destination being the Woodstock Inn. On the way down the trail we can hear hooting and hollering coming from the abandoned hospital site. We ride up towards it and see a couple walking around. We hear others, but they are on the top side. KC is such a great watch dog! No one can sneak up on us!

We see several groups of walkers, some with dogs (off-leash!), and some bikers, too. The boys were stellar, once again, no issues, best behavior. We also saw lots and lots of deer. Too many, really.

When we finally arrive I see Captain and Blackie tied to the hitching post, and then see the Braekman's sitting in the bay window, waving at us! Its Fillip’s birthday and we had a nice visit with them, catching up with the latest news.
When we arrive back at the LOMH we are the last to leave, locking the gate behind us.

Beautiful day, wonderful weekend. Mondays happen so fast!
