First day of our workshop for a private group, along with Hubby leaving early to go to dialysis.

Wed., Feb. 27, 2019 – Vegas Dialysis and Shopping
Dropped Hubby off at his dialysis clinic, then went shopping to kill some time until I picked him up again. Went out to dinner, then settled in for a quiet evening of recovery at the hotel.
Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2019 – Flights to Las Vegas
Flew out of Palm Beach International, with a changeover in Charlotte, making the second half of the trip quite long, but we had a couple of nice meals, and I watched about half a movie, figuring I could watch the rest of it on the second flight, but the second flight didn’t have any individual screens, and no power for my computer, so I couldn’t finish it. It’s a long day traveling all the way across country, even in first class, and we were well and truly tired by the time we got to the hotel.
Monday, Feb. 25, 2019 – Packing and Preparation for Vegas Trip
Another Monday, another day of dialysis, combined with packing and preparing for a business trip to Las Vegas for the week, starting tomorrow. Had a great night’s sleep, though, after all my weekend exertions!
Thursday, Feb. 21, 2019 – Quiet Preparation Day
Spent the day today getting ready for the big ride this weekend. I hooked the small horse trailer up to the truck and got everything loaded into that I needed. Fortunately, we’ve used up just enough hay in the back to make room for one horse, so that’s not a problem. I had a hard time finding out exactly where the overnight camping spot was going to be, there was nothing on any of the websites are associated Facebook pages about which campground at JW Corbett WMA was going to be the one where we were going to stop for the day. We had already gotten a couple of mis-starts on that information, first believing it was at the nature conservation camp area, then somewhere along the line we got the impression it was campsite G, until we finally, through frantic messaging with the organizers, it was confirmed to be camp area I. It shouldn’t have been that much of a mystery, and it doesn’t bode too well for the rest of organizer’s skills, but we’ll wait and see. We had already taken a drive down to Campsite G, so we knew it was just beyond that. We wanted to see how long it would take, since Hubby was going to be driving the truck and trailer on his own (something he hasn’t done for months) and we needed to still be at his dialysis chair by 3:00, so time was a consideration in everything. If all goes well, though, we should make it okay!
Wed. Feb. 20, 2019 – Euchre and Early Dialysis
Managed to get an early chair time for Hubby’s dialysis, so I was able to drop him off, do a little running around, and still get to my weekly euchre game at the community center. I ran up to Port St. Lucie to a feed store up there that had some oral B-12 for horses, to give to Flash during the trail ride this weekend, if he needs it. The rest of the day was just another mundane day!
Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2019 – Another Short Tune-up Ride on Flash
After a morning doctor appointment for Hubby, it was actually too hot to ride in the middle of the day (nothing my northern friends want to hear, I’m sure!), so I waited until around 4:00 before taking Flash on a short 5 mile ride just to keep him limber, and he did great! I think he’s in as good a condition as I could get him in preparation for the upcoming Ocean to Lake Trail ride this weekend. Last week, I might have overdone it, as he wasn’t to excited about taking a ride after a couple of long rides, but by today, he was raring to go, so I think we’re on the right track!
