Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2020 – Another Busy Day

Hey Baby,
Got up at the crack of dawn to get this busy started. Once I got everyone fed and made sure the paddock fence was secure so the horses wouldn’t escape during my long day out, I packed up Lola and we hit the road. First stop was the post office in Altamont to collect my mail and put in my official change of address card, then over to City Hall to cast my early vote in the election, then up to the house to meet with the new owner and pick up the last two pieces of furniture and a couple of boxes of stuff I left behind from earlier this year. From there it was up to Sparta to drop off the loveseat, for which I FINALLY got a buyer, and who even paid me a lot extra to deliver, thank you very much! From there I headed up to Cookeville ast there were a couple of consignment shops, and I finally found one that would take the desk. I just hated the idea of giving it away, and they’re not sure they can sell it, but at least they’re willing to give it a try. Better than nothing! Back down to Morrison to pick up ten bales of hay, though I’m sorry to say they’re not as good as I remember them being, they smell a bit musty, especially compared to some of the better stuff I was getting in Indiana, but it will have to do. Then I headed to the Tractor Supply in Manchester to return a handle that I had bought some time ago and kept forgetting to take back, then Walmart where I filled up with fuel and picked up a few other essentials I needed, then back to Circle E, where I arrived right around 5:00. I loaded the hay into the front stall of the trailer, then finally sat down with a glass of wine for a few minutes to catch my breath! While the horses were eating their dinner, I broke down the chairs and outdoor carpet (I hadn’t bothered to put up the screen room this time), and put a few more things away, then cleaned up the paddock area as it grew dark. I must say, I like having the sunset around 6:00, so that it’s dark by the time my day ends. I didn’t much like going to bed while there was practically still daylight, even though it was nearly 10:00! I took a minute to try to put the spigot back on, it had come loose somehow when it was at the trailer place, but I only managed to get one screw in, it will take a bit more effort to fix it right. I noticed a little drip start on it, and now the pump is coming on more often, so I’m going to have to find that leak and fix it, too. I finally was able to settle down for the evening, but I’m going to bed early again, because I am knackered right now! So I’m off to do dishes, take my shower and head to bed, don’t think I’ll get too much reading in before I’m sound asleep. Good night, darlin’! Love you!
