Friday, Nov. 9, 2018 – First Full Day on the Road Again!

After our exhausting day yesterday and the day before (and frankly, for the last several weeks!), we finally had a chance to come down a bit, but not until we moved the rig to the spot it should have been, and the horses to new stalls that were selected by the same staffer who had selected the occupied stalls for me yesterday, though he put me in the volunteer stalls just to keep things from getting more complicated. I then had to move everything down from last night's stall and clean them. It's been a while since I've had to muck manure, I'm out of shape for that! Eventually I got everything done, and we still hadn't had breakfast, so we decided to run into the nearest town of Jay for a meal and to pick up a few things at the grocery store for the weekend. We were back by 1:30, and for the first time in longer than I can remember, we sat down in our lounge chairs and simply relaxed. Aaaaah! We stayed that way until it started to sprinkle, at which point we had to re-cover the hay with the tarp, which we had removed so the sun could dry it out a bit. Dialysis next, then dinner, and a quiet evening watching the rain depart and the temps drop! Only downfall here is that the campground is in a little geographical dip, which makes a cell phone signal nearly impossible. I've been told there's a better signal up the hill, and near the office, but in our site, there's nothing! Not good, considering all the calls and computer work I need to do this week! Oh, well, that's a problem for another day!
