Friday, January 25th., 2019…... It’s been a few
days since the infusion and I’m doing fine. I had none of the side-effects that
they listed, and only some additional minor stiffness which they said is
common. Lydia has finished the last of her high-test antibiotics. She says she
feels better but is nowhere near 100%. I expected more positive results but she
will discuss with the Dr. next week to determine next step. This morning I got
to sleep in and Lydia got up to feed the monkey butt. I walked her and then
went off to get us breakfast. After that, I evaluated the weather and since it
was partly sunny and warming up, I decided to go out and prune some more of the
grapevines. I filled up the second barrel and then, with Lydia’s help, finished
smoothing out the cut I made on the new white barrel I just cut the top off of.
I think I have one more day’s-worth of cuttings to go. Then I can start to
think about cutting down the apple trees. On the way out to the vines, I let
Rylee off-leash for a while and, sure enough, she went out to her runway and
made a few mud runs! I tied her up and went about my little task, and when I was
done, I hosed her off and toweled her dry and brought her in with me and we
both called it a day. We heated up the chicken and rice and then cleaned up and
watched tv until bedtime.
Saturday, January 26th., 2019…… My sister came by this morning to walk Quincy.
I was barely up and showered and was just bringing the butthead out for her
walk. The weather is crisp and cloudy but the sun is due out later this
afternoon. Rylee did her mud run again and we had to hose her off and dry her
up again. Oh, the life of a golden retriever!
Ok, it’s
later this afternoon and no sun. Actually, it’s downright cold out there! I was
going out to work on the grapevines but not today! We only went out once and
that was to run to Jack in the Box to get dinner. Rylee liked the ride even
though we were back in a flash. Then it was dinner and tv. I am watching the
Rolex 24 hours of Daytona road race. I find this the most fascinating of races.
You have a team of 3-4 drivers who take turns going around the speedway/road
course from 11:00am on Saturday until 24 hours later on Sunday. This year they
have rain predicted to deal with starting early tomorrow morning.
Sunday, January 27th., 2019…... Weather is still cool here. Overcast and kind
of foggy. Again, we didn’t plan to go out. I had my flannel-lined jeans on when
I walked Rylee and then changed into my sweats and socks to hang around inside the
house today. Lydia went to Walmart and said it was cold but not too bad. That’s
saying something, coming from her! She worked on the puzzle we have going and I
watched the Rolex. Those rains did hit and it caused a ton of wrecks and
carnage. It was dangerous driving and they ended up stopping the race an hour
or so short. Driving up here in the sprinkles and light showers is bad enough.
I can’t imagine having to race in driving rain. Lydia’s trip to the store
yielded makings for dinner - Mexican Crack - which was really tasty. This is a casserole with tortilla chips, diced tomatoes, chicken, and other spices. Throughout the day, the
pooper dog managed to get me to take her out a few times, but I succeeded in
keeping her far away from her track, so she managed to stay dry.
The other
day, when I went to Albany, I had an unexpected delay. I was going through my
photo file and saw the pics and it reminded me that I needed to post these. I
made a turn to go down a shortcut side road (which I usually take), and found it was
blocked up ahead. A lady in a pickup was outside her truck and was talking to
the two cars stopped in the road in front of me. She came back and told me that
they were running sheep from one field to another and could I hang on for a few
minutes while they brought them up the road? Of course! So, I had to get out and take a few pics of
this!..... It was so cool. The little guys are only three weeks old!
