It was another gorgeous day here. I had plenty of work this morning, two miniature Australian Shepherds. As the owner is willing to drive an hour each way to let me groom these sweet boys, I try to get both done in three hours. It’s intense. Since the dogs were groomed, and I ate lunch, … Continue reading
Today, I felt that I could hardly wait to get back to the weeding, but it was cold and damp this morning. Last night, I had a great talk in text with a gal who owns, or is owned by, Mica’s sister. The dog Frieda is active and clever too, as one might expect, but … Continue reading
I can’t believe it’s Friday again. I don’t know whether this is a condition of being self-employed, as I know I’ve made this remark to you before. Or is it worse because of the “isolation”? We are doing very well here in relative seclusion. I think that because I’m not in McBride very often, hence … Continue reading
Best thing about Tuesday is that it’s not Monday. I don’t have a 9 to 5 job, nor is my work a monotonous grind, but it always seems like there’s less pressure after Monday. 🤷🏼♀️ I often refer to my work on the first weekday as “digging out from the weekend”, because Sunday night is … Continue reading
I’m sitting here drinking coffee and waiting for my “work” to arrive. The temperatures have plummeted outside, but I can still groom, and keep pets warm. The handsome black cat, Shadow, went home last night. I had heard the cat’s owner refer to his pet as a “she”, and I did not inspect that end … Continue reading
Hope your year ahead is pleasant and healthy and prosperous. If you are reading this blog, we must have some level of friendship, mutual respect and/or love. Sending bigs hugs out, especially to those who need improved quality of life in 2019 and beyond. We were awakened by folks in distress at our door, at … Continue reading
When I awoke and realized this was Sunday, I was pleased. We don’t attend church nor formally observe this day of the week as Sabbath, and it wouldn’t be Gary’s Sabbath anyway. Speaking just for myself, noting that the day is “Sunday” gives me license to take things easier. I didn’t do any hard work … Continue reading
We have had several wet, dark (mostly) days in a row. Our pet residents are dry and warm, and composed. I feel a bit “under the weather” in a sense. This much rainfall is not needed. Yesterday was Canada Day, and there was not as much precipitation. I went downtown for a burger, cake and … Continue reading
The following is from a couple of days ago. I’m having trouble settling down to “blogging” … more apologies/contrition ahead: ************************************************************ I intend to reread my post after the effects of a little wine has worn off. Okay, more than a little wine … a recipe (Tuscan Garlic Shrimp) I made for Gary for dinner … Continue reading
It’s 1:15 and I can’t sleep. It’s odd that sometimes I can drink coffee until late in the evening, and then other times, one cup after supper will keep me awake. It’s fine… I will ramble to you for a little while and then try again. I had some work of the best kind over … Continue reading
