    Mindless Chatter - Wed

    1 more day to camping vacation! wohoo!

    I have a ton of stuff to do though: Clean the house, install yakima roof rack, install roof cargo box, do laundry, pack my stuff and dogs, buy dog food, drop Dakota off (she doesn't get to go this time) at friends house, etc. Speaking of Dakota I better ask my friend if she wants her tonight or tomorrow morning.

    I helped out with beginners agility class last night. That's always fun. I love seeing the newbie dogs really start to enjoy agility with their owners. They just smile big the entire time. After the beginners class I worked neiko and Lily in the advanced class. Neiko is doing really well but Lily is still struggling with her nerves. I actually got her over the low teeter though for the first time ever. Once she did it you could see she was like "Oh, that wasn't so bad" and she did it again. I left it on that note. It is nice to see her build her confidence up. I then got her up on the full height dog walk. She was fine going up but once she got up she got pretty scared and practically crawled the rest of the way across and down the ramp. Poor thing - but she didn't attempt to jump off - she just crouched as low as she could to the board. She got lots of treats :)  she's loving the jumps though. At first she wouldn't even do the jumps. Now she flies over them and loves every minute of it. So, we can get there. It's just going to take time.

    I need to live in the SW or in HI. My sinuses can't deal with this ever changing MI weather anymore.

    I wanna go camping again this weekend!!!  It's not going to happen though.

    I woke up this morning with a pounding headache.  I went ahead & took the dogs for their morning run, as a run usually helps my headache as well.  This morning it didn't help at all. 

    I am getting ready to take Bev to the surgeon.  Once I get him settled, I am seriously considering stopping by to see if the tattoo artist, that I use, can do a touch up, & add a little more to one of my current tats.

    Also going camping...on friday but I'm not going to the tatoo artist....ever!  LOL

    Had a breakfast meeting this morning to justify my job and I'm thinking it went ok.  I guess I'll find out one way or the other, sooner or later.  I hate not being in control.

    DH is home this week which is a godsend because I've been really busy and stressed.  So much so that I ate TWO Dilly bars last night...must go walk stairs now.

     Good luck Bevo!

    Well I started back at the golf store today - oh dear it was boring.  But it is something and only 10 hours a week so it won't kill me.

    Of course Bugs is fully loaded as he is usually awake all day and now he has slept for 6 hours - let him out when I came home and he proceeded to catch and eat two moles.  I think I liked it better when he didn't eat his catch

    Getting a mammography tomorrow - first one.  Not nervous really but not thrilled, ah well the joys of aging.

    I tell you the last few months have been seriously boring and full of hassles - really had enough of it

    that's all

    It rained quite a bit of the day and I was out in it, driving a skytrack (think of an overgrown dune buggy with forklift forks on a telescoping arm) dealing with a delivery of 60 poles for parking lot lighting. Another day in wet boots. OTOH, some other things went well at work today. Taking Motrin and being careful have kept me from making my finger hurt.

    Hope Bevo's surgery went well.  Karen, good luck tomorrow.  I am sure things are better than all the horror stories people share about squishing and squashing your body parts. lol

    I should go visit the horses this week.  I still haven't met the new guy.
