Daily Notes 11/28/2007
Good morning! What a morning!
Last night we brought all the dogs in as it was going to be in the 30’s and we don’t like to leave them out when it’s that cold. So, that means I have to put them back out in the morning before leaving for work or if it’s going to be cold all day, let them out to potty and bring them back in all before going to work. Usually, it’s no big deal as they know the routine and handle it with efficiency and dispatch.
This morning had Loki at the wheel, though. (If you don’t know or remember, Loki is the god of mischief). I took cresteds out without incident and then let Oscar and Nell out while I carried Tigger to his pen (I already knew not to let him loose unless I wanted to spend the next 15 minutes watching him run zoomies around the yard). I watched Nell and Oscar find good places to potty as I carried Tigger to his pen, then Nell ran into Delilah’s run to check for leftover food. I called her out of there and as she emerged, Oscar zoomed by and Nell gave chase. They ran around to the front yard and I started calling. And calling. And calling. Nell came back shortly, but Oscar was nowhere to be found. I guess they scared up a deer or bunny and he gave chase. I spent the next 45 minutes calling and walking up and down the driveway and up and down the road looking for him. I finally heard my group give voice, so figured he was back and sure enough he was. Still zooming all through the yard like he had energy to spare. I finally got him contained in his run and was able to leave for work, but by then I was already an hour late. Anybody who knows me knows how I HATE being late!
Oh well…
I called Ken to let him know what had happened and gave him the heads up that I would probably be late getting home tonight. He’s on a mission this afternoon to see about trading in his truck for a Dodge Ram 2500 diesel, so reminded me he has a 4:00 appointment. Well, if he wasn’t taking 2 hours off from work, he wouldn’t be getting home until 7:00 anyway, so DUH.
I may call Charlotte in a bit to get her to run by the house this afternoon to let Payne and Cameo out to potty just to make sure they don’t have to hold it any longer than necessary. They’re the only two that are crated and that I worry about spending long hours “holding it”.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch (I mean work), I have an issue of PO’s that don’t update when received. Oh the joy! 😥 NOT
So, that means I’ve got to run.
Love to all,
Margaret

That’s one rough morning. Mine got off to bad start as well – I set my alarm for 5PM vice 5AM. Was feeling very rested when I woke up at 6.30 which is about the time I’m pulling into work 8-O. Whoops. I did manage to take a bird bath and shave before leaving the house fifteen minutes later. Many thanks to Yvonne for getting up as well and getting the coffee going for me!
@Dad – That’s a good choice of truck. We want one as well after we get the debts paid down and can really afford one (and the boat to go with it). Please BUY it. Don’t lease. That truck has the potential to last y’all a LONG time and save you a ton of money on fuel (especially when towing your camper!). A buddy here at work has turned me onto goldenfuel.com where they have systems to run that truck on vegetable oil as well as diesel. That would save you even more on fuel costs.
Love,
Eddie
