Hi Babe,
Didn’t get to bed as early as I hoped, and even though I felt fairly rested in the morning, it didn’t last, the exhaustion is just too deep. Being tired sometimes makes me testy, as you know, and then so many ridiculous obstacles were thrown in my path, it just made me feel more tired. First, I did three loads of laundry in the morning, and that went okay, except it got so windy later in the morning it practically blew my clothes away, and I had to rearrange them on the line to make sure they didn’t. Last week I ordered two bags of Balance from the local feed store, and they were supposed to call me when it came in and they never did, so this morning I called just to check and they said, oh, yeah, they it came it, they meant to call me on Friday but didn’t. Okay, fine, so I drive to the feed store, and when he rings up the sale, it is WAY more expensive that I had expected, so I asked to see the bags and it turned out to be the wrong stuff! Grrr! So then they call their “sister store,” Ranch Feed, which I already know has a couple of bags because I had checked last week, but nixed going there because I had already ordered it from the Okeechobee store, and they still had two bags. When I called later, though, to tell them I didn’t have time to pick them up today and could they put them aside for me tomorrow, they refused! After already driving an hour round trip to pick them up, and now having to drive ANOTHER hour round trip in the other direction to pick them up, they weren’t even willing to save them for me??? Seriously?? All I got was, “well, there’s not a lot of demand for that,” but no response when I said, so what if someone comes in and buys them before I get there? Another 50 mile round trip for nothing, really? Grrrr! Very disappointing. Then I went to Tractor Supply to get three propane tanks filled, which went fine, then I went to Walmart to shop. Despite it being two days after the weekend, there was a lot of things that were missing on the shelves, so I had to make do without some stuff I needed, or replacement stuff that wasn’t my first choice. Then, something unheard of happened. I had picked up some treats for Lola, a nice big twisty treat that she really likes. I had just bought some for her about a week or two ago and she’s been enjoying them ever since. So I get to check out, and I’m told by a rather snippety youngster that she can’t sell them to me because they’ve been discontinued. Discontinued, really?? Usually that’s the excuse I hear when they’re OUT of something I usually buy, but I’ve never heard that before with something that’s still on the shelf, in my hand, in my basket! I WANTED to buy it, and they REFUSED!! Who’s ever heard of a thing like that?? Crazy!! Because it had been taken out of the computer, no one could sell it to me. How absurd is that?? So naturally, I left Walmart in an even fouler mood than previously, feeling like I was progressing down a dark path to nowhere, feeling more and more tired as I went. It wasn’t helped by the really poor attitude of the cashier, either, she was a total bitch. A really disappointing day. The only high point was a brief visit to my neighbors while I was feeding my horses, the guy, Eddy, is a big Snowy River fan, even just bought a whip from Australia, though he has a locally made whip he likes to crack on occasion. Anyway, I finally settle down for the evening, immersed myself in some TV and now I’m headed to shower and bed. Hoping for a good, long sleep tonight, because I have a long drive to the feed store to hopefully get there in time to get my feed! Trying to get caught up on my rest before the big Cracker Ride next week, not sure it’s going to be possible. But I need to try, so I’m heading for shower and bed. Good night, my love!
