Friday, Nov 22nd, 2019…… It was cold again this morning, but I still
was able to get out and get Rylee walked without freezing to death in my
shorts! As long as I can keep my ears
and hands and chest warm, I seem to be good to go. Plus, the sun popped up as I
was out so that helped! I called this morning and got an appointment to get the
coach in to Peterson Trucking for the brake job. They will also lube the
chassis and find and fix the bad valve, or whatever it is, that’s causing the
air to drop the coach on the right side. I am set up for early, early next
Tuesday so they will have that day and Wednesday before they close for the
Thanksgiving Holiday. The brake job is no problem and they seem to think the
air leak should be easy as well.
I went out
and got breakfast/coffee/tea this morning and then later in the morning we took
off to Albany to go to Target, Lowes, and Kohls. We got everything we were
looking for and headed home. I ate a quick lunch and went out and got the
tractors started and running. My sister came over and took one out and did the
field while I tackled the lawn. It was still pretty wet and we have chunks of
wet grass to go out and pick up tomorrow. But at least the mowing is done,
probably the last time this season. I need to get a battery for the newer
tractor plus maybe get them both in for blade sharpening, etc. The Husqvarna may
have a bent blade or maybe needs an adjustment because it gouges on one side
when you make a turn. But I won’t worry about any of that until just before
spring.
I came in
and cleaned up and my sister headed back home. Later, neither of us was hungry
so we just snacked and skipped a cooked meal. We both watched our programs
before calling it a night.
Saturday, Nov 23rd, 2019…… A few things on the agenda today. Sis had
asked me to install another grab bar in her guest shower so after walking and
feeding Rylee, I texted her to get a time. I didn’t hear back so I took off to
go to Lowes again to get some more lumber for my ladder project. On the way
back she texted that she was good to go anytime. So, I just stopped by on my
way home. We got the bar installed and then I helped her put her Thanksgiving
stuff away and we also worked on her computer for a bit. She wants to install
Office but doesn’t need all the bells and whistles and isn’t keen on paying for
the service each year. I found a reduced fee for an older version that is
lifetime so she will be installing that. Before I left the house, Lydia had me
get out some tri-tip for dinner but while I was at my sister’s we talked about
going out to dinner. We chose Taqueria Dos Arbolitos so the tri-tip will be for
tomorrow. It was margarita time tonight!
Our bingo friend, Lois, had told us Thursday about blackberry margaritas
so we tried those and liked them! I was
stuffed and felt uncomfortable for a bit before all of that big meal (and alcohol)
wore off. But it did make me sleepy and by the time I was ready to come to bed,
Lydia was already there and fast asleep!
Sunday, Nov 24th, 2019…… No races or anything to watch today, so after
our morning walk and breakfast and reading my newspaper, I spent most of the
day watching football and making up my binder for next year’s races, and
auctions. I can locate the schedules for all of these online and print them out
to tape into a binder. That makes it easy to reference to make sure I get them
all recorded. Lydia is still hurting and has been good about staying off her
bad ankle/heel. She’s experiencing a lot of pain (which we know is typical of a
torn Achilles) and has been real good about taking her pain meds. 90% of the time, she can manage it with just
Tylenol but occasionally she needs a Vicodin. She goes in on Tuesday for her MRI.
We needed to cook that tri-tip today. We invited my sister to come over. She
brought the salad and veggies and we had a nice meal. Later, after she left, we settled in and
watched tv until bedtime.
