Saturday, October 16, 2021 – Hunker Down Track Meet Day

Hi Babe!
Just before going to bed last night, that little voice in my head said I should go out and put plastic over my broken bedroom window, even though there was only a 30 percent chance of rain at 6 a.m. Glad I listened! I used one of the big 55 gallon drum trash bags and managed to cover it pretty well, at sure, enough, at 6:00, I woke up to the sound of heavy rain pounding on the roof, with a breeze coming from the direction that would have brought it right into the drape. Got back to sleep for a bit, then got up and did my chores. The rain got rid of most of the mist, but it was cloudy and windy, but that didn’t seem to bother the 4000 people that evidently showed up for this track meet today. I was very glad no one asked me to move, but I didn’t put the fence up like I was going to, so I spent most of the morning minding the kids wanting to pet the horses. It was cool enough for me to put a jacket on while I was out there! The sun finally came out around noon, and by 1:00 or so, the place was emptying out fast, so we had the place mostly to ourselves for the afternoon. A couple of other campers came in, one regular and one horse camper, but I haven’t spoken to either of them. I binged on TV and read most of the rest of the day. Discovered that my package is now at a FedEx place about 40 miles from here, but naturally, it’s closed to the public so I can’t go pick it up. It still says it’s sending it to Toomsboro, which is fine since I’ll be there next week, but I can’t be sure it’s not coming here, either, so I’ll have to check on it for sure on Monday. If it’s coming here, I’ll likely have to stay another day just to wait for it. Sigh… FedEx strikes again. I’ve said it before, in 30+ years, I don’t think I’ve EVER received a package when and where it’s supposed to received. I honestly don’t know how they stay in business! At least with UPS I can change the delivery with little problem, with FedEx, I can’t even arrange to pick the dang thing up! Anyway, I’m still going to pack up tomorrow as if I’m leaving on Monday, but something tells me I’ll be staying here another night. Anyway, didn’t do much the rest of the day, except research a few items I need, and ordered a new carbon monoxide detector, since by all accounts it has outlived it’s performance date by many years! I also put the blankets on the horses since it’s supposed to be going down into the 40’s tonight, another reason I also finished taping up the window, and since I’m evidently going to have to travel with it broken as well. Heading to shower and bed before long. Good night, sweetie! Love you!
