624 - stories from down under

Day 624 I awoke with such a sore neck and headache, guess I slept wrong. It ailed me all day even with drugs. After dropping Britt at school I grabbed tea and off to work. Today at lunch was my first workout in ages, thanks Coreena however no hope for fit body for this weekend vacation departure!

After work I dropped eggs off with Travis stopping for a quick visit with Asher and the puppy too . Then it was to the bank, pick up packages, booze restock and a quick tan, grabbing the mail on the way home.
another ipad case I ordered to try, like the keyboard better on this one but it is thicker

It was so much better changing into my cozy pj's and grabbing a snack and drinks and crawling into bed. I am sure the headache is from the bad sleeping position. Luckily I have pork tenderloin marinating for supper.
Shaina and I skyped again and Britt and Sheldon had turns once they got home too.

She had more funny stories of her adventures down under. The boys continue their harassment but today she did not watch them, thought perhaps Donna the mom gave her a break. She did have another story of the boys, while jumping on the trampoline with the two rowdy boys, one yelled kick her in the nuts, the younger one said she doesn't have nuts she is a girl, she has a pagina.. the older one yells, well kick her in the pagina! Needless to say she decided playtime was over and vacated. Poor Shaina never had wild brothers to contend with, this is a learning and patience curve for sure.

She also switched up horses trying a younger mare named Clock, like a ticking time bomb clock she said :-) Even with the challenges she thinks she will play this one for the weekend tournament. The family (Cory 7 Ryan 5 Joel 3 and Chelsie 1, parents Donna and Steve) will travel the 3 hours to Auckland for the tournament in their horse caravan. It is a large truck trailer combination that has sleeping and kitchen living as well as 5 horse hauling all within the unit. Her sleeping area is behind the seats where they ride while driving. She says there will be 500 at the tournament.. wow that is amazing. I am excited to see photos.

I spent time on the phone with a tour guy in St Lucia then Craig stopped for a couple hours to set up a new financial account but we decided to wait so we just visited over some Helle's Bock beers. He left at 7 and we barbequed pork medallions and a potato pack, fresh salad, and veggies.

After supper Sheldon and I watched PVR Mob Doctor and Britt whatever she had PVR in the theater room. She coughed late into the night and just before 1 I took her vitamin c to suck on to help ease the cough to get some sleep. I guess it worked.
