Well, it was a busy weekend for me! Friday saw me wearing the hat of obedience trial chairman and my main job was organizing stewards for the 3 obedience rings that day. I had passed around a sign up sheet at the last meeting plus asked some people who are not in the club to work. Got enthusiastic responses until right before the day of…so, I had people trickle in and managed to beg enough people from the exhibitors to fill all my spots and it worked out OK. Once the trial was over, I had to go to work and get that new server up and going. That took me until 11:00 pm to get to a stopping point.

I drove home, got in bed around 12:15 and was up again at 4:00 to get Saturday started.

Saturday was hectic! Geez, you wouldn’t believe the number of people who wanted exams done! We took in nearly $8,000 and made a gross profit of around $1200 for the club. This is our main fundraiser every year at least until we get our shows going, but its doubtful that even those won’t pull in this much money. We don’t have a lot of expenses thankfully — the main one is insurance which runs us around $600 per year.

I was supposed to return to work Saturday after the clinic was through, but it was after 7:00 pm when we got the last vet out the door, so I went home and planned to go in on Sunday after our meeting.

Sunday morning when I went to let the dogs out, I fell going up the steps to the back porch and hit my head on the door frame. I have a nice black eye and big scrape down my cheek. It looks worse than it feels, but I will admit that it looks pretty awful.

My cough and cold have come back, too and Advil Cold and Sinus is just barely keeping that at bay.

I took Ken to the Surgery Center this morning to have his tumor removed. He was such a baby! Had to have his hand numbed for the IV and made all kinds of noises when she pulled off the things they stick on you for an EKG.  He’s home and in bed with pain meds sleeping. He says he’ll go back to work tomorrow. The Doctor said the tumor didn’t look like it was anything other than a fatty tumor although they still sent it off to be tested. I have to call and make an appointment for Ken for a week or two later.

Well, that’s all our news! Take care!

Love,
