Paint class prep

I woke at 7:30 not hearing H so went to check; she was chewing on a bone and I noticed the basement lights on. I went down and found Shaina in her Bodysmart meeting that had started at 6 am!! I fed her then got the coffee going and a load of jackets. Sheldon is kindly purging 7 jackets to give to those in need so I l washed up. Shaina made me a breakfast sandwich, thanks dude! XOXO

S joined us after drinking his first coffee served in bed. He let out the crazy cats mid morning after Shaina had left for the gym. She returned with hot teas for us before noon then was off for another client call. S made tuna sandwiches then he was off to town to do recyclables. 

whatcha doin down there?

I worked on computer marketing then set up stuff for the paint class tomorrow and clean garage. S was back around 2:30 and hit the couch to nap, Shaina who was up way earlier then her usual 10 was in bed too. I joined another affiliate type program, this one on Hometalk's new food format which I created boards for on Pinterest. Have a peek.

After he woke S loaded up and headed out scouting the area after 3:30 and back just before 5 as Shaina was packing up to head to the city. She will stay at Kaylin's tonight and go boarding tomorrow. We weighed Harley, she is now 88 pounds.

I cooked up the most delicious garlic shrimp spaghettini for supper, S gives it 3 thumbs up! We were all finished up when B and Cooper arrived after 7 hoping to find supper. It was a short potty break/play date for Cooper as B was hungry so back to town to get food. I made smoothies and we watched more Bad Blood.

Steak supper for 4

Another pretty sunrise for H and I then off to eat. Today I left her in the garage to eat and crawled back in but she barked after 10 minutes of waiting for me; this was a first LOL. S made coffee and we got on with the day. S relaxed on the couch but did go let cats out in just his Hugh Hefner robe then had a nap :) I worked on catching up the blog and marketing.

Shaina was up before 10:30 to make her cap and toast then head over to train Sharon. S got dressed and took H out to play fetch for a bit after 11 as I created my black Friday sales post. Shaina was back in the hour then on to a client call at noon as I cooked up grilled cheese for us all. I delivered hers to her meeting as she was still going after 1.

S was back to the couch to nap while I wrote a Hometalk post for the tea cart. Seeing it was around zero I hauled the old table out to sand outside. It was a bit brisk but was worth being outside. Back inside Shaina was back up working on her laptop. Once prince was awoken by Harley wanting to play; he and I went to the garage. I put together 3 stools for Thursday's painting class, S cleaned out the drain gutters.

of course the inspector was on duty too :)

Britt and Cooper arrived as were were finishing up just after 4. She took food to Bird while the dogs played. Her friends results came back negative so all is well and she gladly took us up on the offer to join us for steak supper. She did run to town to grab groceries seeing it was her day off and was a good thing as after the 5 pm provincial new rules all the stores will be nuts till Friday.

S and I made a veggie pack to put on the barbeque seeing it was now plus 3 out. The steaks were cooked to perfection and everyone was digging in at 6, yummy! B and S relaxed, Shaina was off to the gym and I caught up the blog. B and Coop headed home after a bit. I sorted jackets after putting away the ones I washed today while S put the cats away then we watched some more Bad Blood. Shaina was home from the gym and getting groceries then off to her room with a bowl of cereal.

Bottle depot day

H was up around 7 moving from bed to matt then outside our door then back to door. I did let her out at 7:30 and started our day. I delivered a coffee to the prince as he was making his way out. I jumped in the shower while he was playing with H. Today I was a guest host on the weekly Monday Instagram tour so it was very exciting and increased my followers by about 100. Will see how long they stay. I had an Etsy sale yesterday so packaged it all up and got the shipping sorted but without a printer (Harley may have caught it on her tail and pulled of filing cabinet) I will need to get post office to print.

Once coffee fueled S went out to let cats out and bring in the meat. He counted as I loaded it into the freezer. Looks like we will be able to eat well for awhile :) Shaina was up when we came inside, made her cappuccino, toast and got to work on her laptop.

Prince loaded up the recyclables to take to town. The navy bar stool were picked up as we were having lunch.

Double S's headed to town after lunch; Shaina was dropped at the gym while S ran bottles to the depot (almost $100!! but his recyclables were a bust as closed today) grabbed a couple groceries and McDonald's coffees for team double S and was supposed to drop off my Etsy parcel.

I wrote a tutorial for the bed frame then headed out in the PLUS 3 sunshine to play ball with Harley and cleanout and fill the horses mineral tub. We were still playing ball when the town run peeps made it back before 4. However it was not long before I asked S how he made out with post office printing the label and he said he forgot so back to town he went.

S got back to her programming then catch up calls while I made supper. Tonight I tried the minute steaks making mushroom minute steaks as our first taste of our new beef. S mashed potatoes for me with Shaina finishing up her calls after 6 in time to join us. She washed up the pots while S went to put cats away and I helped Britt trim and dremel Harleys nails when she stopped out after 7 super quick.

S and I finished the first season of Bad Blood (based on true events of Canadian mafia, who knew?) and started season 2 but I was getting tired so we called it a night.

Sunday dinner in Oyen

H was awake after 7 with the prettiest sunrise when letting her out. While she ate breakfast I packed up a bag of food to take along and washed her dish once done to go too. Back inside I played a few games of cookie jam while waiting for S to wake. I made the coffee and got him a cup then I rousted Shaina at 8:45. S jumped in the shower quick then we all loaded up and on the road after 9, S let kitties out while I was loading H. We looped thru town for fuel and a Tim's stop then headed east. It was crazy foggy most of the way.

a little loading resistance video ;)

We arrived at the farm at noon, their big trees were covered in such pretty hoar frost. Mom had made a delicious roast beef meal for us with Travis joining too. We visited, got a tour of the redone basement, helped with computer issues, carried some bigger furniture pieces in and got our meat loaded up before we headed home before 5. Thanks B for soaking Switch's foot today! She thinks we are good to stop now.

It was a dark trip home again looping thru town to fill the truck with fuel before heading to the ranch. Almost 3 hours exactly and we were home. Leftover chili was enjoyed then Shaina was off to the gym. We did not haul in meat seeing it was a deep freeze outside. I finished the Holiday Home Makeover season and started Sugar Rush; Christmas while S perused his phone. Shaina was back after 10 and everyone was lights out.
