Silly DogWriting up Saturday and Sunday after the fact. I just didn't have the ambition to write so left it alone until now since not much has happened. I've been gradually feeling better after such a long spell, nearly the whole week of bad stomach pain. And some of the nights was getting very little rest. Its a mystery between 4 or 5 reasons why this is happening - what is the cause, and what to do for it. This is the 4th spell in a month. They told me it would be a period of trial and error and that everyone is different.
Saturday we had snow in the morning from maybe midnight on. About 4" fell but settled down pretty fast. It hasn't melted since the temperatures aren't above freezing. Joe gave the horses some hay, so that is the first time he's fed them. They just graze in the pasture until it snows. Sunday morning was about 0. Joe has the wood stove going now that its getting colder. Had too many phone calls to rest much on Saturday, but Sunday was quiet and I took two nice naps and slept good that night.
I've been fixing lunch and dinner and puttering with the lighter housework, laundry and such. Joe is fixing his (very early) breakfast, emptying the dishwasher, vacuuming and feeding the cats. He mopped the floors the other day.
Sunday after my shower and lunch in the afternoon I walked a little bit past the tree and back. It was invigorating with a breeze and snow on the ground. The stormy light was great. There was a little sunshine. I used my ski poles just in case I had a lapse in balance, but did not have that. We've spent his whole life trying to discipline Sparky from his excited continuous barking and shrieking, and he wouldn't stop so I left him in the garage - he didn't get to walk and I'm sure it broke his heart. That works for a while. Raven got to go and really enjoyed running through the fields again. I know its nice for her when she doesn't have Sparky trying to be dominant over her. She jumped several jackrabbits and chased for just a ways, but she doesn't go full out after them any more. The rabbits finally break them to the fact that they aren't going to get caught. I hadn't walked much during the bad spell. I've been watching the holiday show and movies marathons, the family and comedy rerun stuff.
Although I don't have the ambition to answer many of the emails I'm getting, I read them all and enjoy hearing from everyone very much, so please don't worry about not sending emails. I will just keep doing the blog more or less each day and that will have to be good for sending info to everyone. But no gifts and packages please. I absolutely don't need a thing and you know we've been cleaning out and I just don't want to fill my clean shelves up with more stuff. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness though. I'm just overwhelmed by the outpouring of offers of help and people wanting to do something. Its very much appreciated, so much more than anyone can know, and I'm sure I'll be asking for help with a few things as time goes by.
