After taking a sleeping pill because I was wide awake turning off Netflix at midnight I was awoken by H to go out the the usual 1:30. Once back in her kennel I was back to sleep till 8. It was lightly snowing out and -22. I held off feeding till after 8:30 which was torture to her it seems. I made a pot of coffee and delivered it fruit and yogurt to the roomie then did some marketing. Once she was done the TV tray was folded and put away, the last of maid service for the Dude. I posted some of the treasures for sale online.
She and I took a brisk walk with Harley at noon at -17 out but a brisk breeze. It was her first venture out in a week and her Jeep started after being plugged in, yeah! In side I called Dad to chat after talking to Mom this am. Seems he is tired of being cooped up, Shaina was stir crazy after 10 days so I can only imagine life in the cottage bedroom for him. I made us grilled cheese for lunch and delivered one to her while on a call.
Now for a shower quick then back to furnace room; the sorting and posting continues. Shaina surfaced to sit in big brown for a bit and even sorted laundry that had stacked up over her quarantine. Emily stopped out after 4:30 at the same time the lady arrived to pick up the fold down edged table. The gal tried it in her car as is then brought back in so I could take the legs off for her and she and Emily who visited with Shaina briefly left at the same time.
I cooked up the 2nd HF meal; blueberry pork chops. Even though I was skeptical about blueberry mixed with barbeque sauce it ended up being ok however Shaina got all the beans and most of the tomatoes.
We were finishing up as Britt and Cooper rolled in at 6:30. She went to feed horses the feed I soaked and pill Pep then was off after 7. She picked up a parcel at the gate on her way in too, thanks!! Yep it is yet another robotic vacuum, this one says it will go in straight lines no random chaos and will empty itself and carry on, let see. I found a box to fit frames a lady needed a postage quote on and will await her e transfer. Another extreme cold warning is issued with -32 coming overnight.
How not to remove ice from horses feet 101 but one way to make ropey veins disappear :)
Shaina was off to the gym at 7:30 stopping to check the mail for a work Xmas present on her way but no luck. She grabbed some groceries and skipped the gym getting back home in over an hour. In the meantime I had a series of unfortunate events; while refilling my diffuser I set it down on the counter only to knock off a bottle of peppermint oil. Of course it was a near full one with the 2 empties beside it staying on the counter. I put the broken bottle parts in my epsom salts then tried to scoop the puddle into an empty bottle. The rest was wiped with a facecloth to leave to smell the closet but it seems the whole house is smelling like a bandy cane. I then washed my face and rubbed the mascara on my eyes;; dang there was still oil on the fingers causing burning right eye. It is def time to climb into bed to watch Netflix now. However it was a challenge trying to watch and sleep as with the heated tile it fell on it was like a jumbo diffuser full strength. I eventually put on my mask upside down so the nose and eyes were covered, new use right?
I made this funny reel video of Beibs playing with soccer ball for IG
