Friday, Jan 15, 2021 – A Little Bit Sad Today

Hi Babe,
After finishing my clipping on Apollo (have hay, will stand!), which came out halfway decent considering neither one of us has ever done a clip before, so at least he’s more comfortable. Got a cool night coming up, though, so I’ll have to blanket him on those nights. Spent the morning calling other RV repair places, seems like mid-March is actually the soonest I can get in! The rest were all early April. Man, if someone wanted to start a booming business, RV repair in Florida would definitely be it! One place I called ONLY works on Class A motorhomes, another, only on the kind of trailers they sell, i.e., no horse trailers. Crazy policies! I mean, a slide is a slide, right? So I guess I’m stuck till mid-March, darn it! I really only wanted to spend a month here, but the slide has gotten really bad, and I’m afraid once I move it again, it’s going to get stuck for good, and that would REALLY be a problem. So I guess I better get back into my riding routine, for my horses’ sakes. Meanwhile, I heard from the doctor’s, it seems they don’t allow any jewelry into the MRI room, even though it’s for my knee, and though I tried as hard as I could to get my wedding ring off, it just wasn’t possible. I guess I’ve broken that knuckle a time or two in the last 30 years, it really got big. The ring fits fine where it was sitting, but getting past the knuckle was impossible, so I had to run into town to a jewelry store and have it cut off. It really had to be opened wide to get it off, so it came out quite a mess. Got a bit emotional about it, seems like the last vestige of that long chapter, other than this ongoing, one-sided conversation we’re having. Made me sad, but then I heard your voice in my head, “water under the bridge” and let it go. Got back and decided to try to get the satellite dish going, I used up most of the movies on the PVR and really need to stock up on some more in case I end up someplace with no cell phone signal for my Netflix. Got pretty close to getting a signal, too, had it locked onto 129 at one point, just not in the right position. Then I had trouble with the coax, so I decided to give it a rest and ordered a couple of good coax cables to put directly on the satellite where it was needed. Amazon Prime will be delivering them tomorrow, would you believe! Then I’m afraid I’m going to need some help doing the final dish pointing to get it right. I think I have a pretty clear shot, but there are a couple of trees that might be in the way, we’ll have to wait and see. Finally, as usual, feeding the animals ran into mosquito hour and I got bitten like crazy again. Jeff was in a surly mood, which didn’t help, but I’m done with trying to work out a feeding schedule with him, he always leaves it too late. I’m just going to feed my horses when I want, and let him deal with the rest of it on his own. I’ll just have to make a second trip to give them hay once he gets around to putting them in the paddock, whenever that is, though I may have to delay it past mosquito time, sick of getting eaten up. So it was a pretty crummy day except for finishing the clip on Apollo. I hope tomorrow is better. Good night, darlin’! Love you!
