Hey Babe,
Felt a bit tired again this morning, didn’t get to bed as early as I had hoped, then spent the day packing things for tomorrow’s departure. Got Apollo loaded up in the little trailer, as well as all the hay and feed he’ll need, and drove him off to Jeff’s in the afternoon. Stopped at the feed store for some electrolytes for Flash because it looks like a hot week next week, and Publix to pick up a few last minute items I forgot to get the other day. Flash spent the afternoon running frantically around the paddock and whinnying for Apollo, and is still whinnying even though it’s been hours. Not surprisingly, they haven’t been apart since I first got him nearly four years ago, I just hope he quiets down overnight. He’ll have plenty of company starting tomorrow, so he should settle down after awhile. My package with my flex boots still hasn’t arrived, so if it comes in the morning, I’m going to have to run into town early then come back and hook up the trailer, so it looks like a later start than I had hoped, since the post office doesn’t even open until 9:00. It’s only a two hour drive, and they’re not opening until noon, so as long as I get there at a reasonable hour, I guess I’ll be okay. Cleared out the paddocks and got the screen room down, rug rolled up, chairs and solar panel put away, basically everything is almost done except for the usual last minute items, so I’m hoping I’ll still be able to get out of here around 10:00 or so. I’m still feeling tired after all my exertion, I have a feeling I’m going to be pushing myself hard this week to keep up, but when I get back, I’m definitely going to take a couple of days off and DO NOTHING!! That’s going to be the only way I’ll be able to refresh my reserves! Anyway, I’m off to shower and bed early, so good night, my sweet! Love you!
