Got some sleep.\u00a0 Feel better this morning.\u00a0 A busy day ahead.\u00a0 Groceries, recycling, straw, more weeding.<\/p>\n
Kate comes back from Denver today.\u00a0 I\u00a0 had a bit of a snit yesterday when she wanted to stay an extra day.\u00a0 My Woolly meeting is on Monday and she’s a big part of the get ready for it plan.\u00a0 Also, her birthday is Tuesday–65!–and I have an evening ready for us.\u00a0 I wanted her back her with me, but felt conflicted because she wanted to stay with Jon.\u00a0 He had a bad ride home from the hospital.\u00a0 A moot point as it turns out, since it would have cost around $500 to change the ticket with $150 airline fee, $30 Orbitz and $320 in additional ticket costs.\u00a0 Not proud of myself over this, but I’m glad she’ll be home today.<\/p>\n
Vega or Rigel, remember them?, ate my pocket moleskine diary and a current novel I’m reading, Consider Philebas.\u00a0 By eat I mean shred and coat with drool.\u00a0 The diary’s pages are recoverable and Consider Philebas, though badly mauled and wet, contains the pages I’ve not yet read, which is good enough for me.\u00a0 Just one more of the V&R stories.<\/p>\n
Over the last few days I have dutifully filled the large rubber water container we have outside.\u00a0 And refilled it.\u00a0 Those big dogs, I thought, drink a lot of water.\u00a0 Then, shortly after I filled it yesterday morning, I put the hose away, turned around to see Vega curled up in the water container.\u00a0 She was happy.\u00a0 Archimedes could have had his eureka moment watching her.\u00a0 90 pounds of puppy displaces a lot of water.<\/p>\n
The Denver Olsons have had a rough summer.\u00a0 Hirschel their 6 year old German Shorthair developed cancer and died.\u00a0 ![\"hirsch\"](\"http:\/\/www.ancientrails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/hirsch-225x300.jpg\" "\\"hirsch\\"")
Jon’s surgery has created the kind of upset recovery from any surgery always does.\u00a0 Next up is Gabe’s surgery to install a port for his prophylactic factor.\u00a0 That comes on the 27th.\u00a0 Not to mention that they started back teaching two weeks ago.\u00a0\u00a0 A lot for a young family to absorb.\u00a0 Why I was conflicted.\u00a0 (pic:\u00a0 Hirschel)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
