Wednesday, December 6, 2023 – Labwork, Errands and Trailer Washing

Hi Sweetie,
Woke up before the alarm went off, got up after a bit, did my chores, unhooked the trailer and put it in a nice tidy little parking spot near me, then headed off to town to get my doctor-requested lab work done, then stopped at Tractor Supply for some hay, which was pretty good, though small bales for the price, but I'm in Florida, I can't expect anything else when the price of diesel is still so high. I also noticed a big stack of Nutrena Balance, so I picked up a bag for Apollo, even though his feed bin is currently full, just because it isn't easy to find. After getting back to camp, I worked on trails on the computer for a bit, then remembered I needed to wash the small horse trailer, so I went out and did that. It was actually too cool to ride today, and almost too cool to be washing a trailer, but it really needed it, it was covered in algae, typical when it sits outside like it has been. Finally settled down for the evening, to a very weird movie that seems like the writers and director must have thought up when they were totally stoned, not my cup of tea, though I had to admire the acting skill of the principals. I was shocked to see Jamie Lee Curtis, I barely recognized her, sorry to say, she hasn't aged too well. Funny, when I went in to do my labs today, the woman asked for both my birth date and confirmation that Cigna was my secondary insurance and not my first, and I joked with her and said, "This is where you're supposed to say I don't look old enough for Medicare," and she quickly responded, "Well, that's why I asked, you DON'T look that old." Maybe she was blowing smoke, but she did ask twice, so maybe I am still looking pretty good for my age. Anyway, took my shower early so my hair will dry before bed, it's going to be a cold one tonight, getting down into the 30's. I even put the heavy blankets on the horses, and I'm going to leave the fireplace on all night so I don't wake up to a cold home in the morning. Hoping to ride tomorrow, supposed to warm up after a chilly morning, but we'll see. Good night, my darlin'! Love you!
