I forgot to mention last night what I saw on my way home from WalMart after work. Remember I said I had asked God for a specific sign to let me know Mike was ok and we'll see if I get it or not? I'm not going to share what the exact sign is I asked for until I've gotten it - but I saw something that is along the lines of "my sign" last night.
I had stopped by the WDM library to drop off a book after WalMart and then took what I call the back way home which has me take Fuller Road (close to WDM Public Works) and there is a spot by the turn for Public Works where you can see deer at certain times of the year. Well up ahead of me I saw several deer lippity lopping across the street from one field to another and I counted 7 deer and thought that was really neat. I looked down in the ravine to my right and there were three more deer right by the road that crossed the road right after I passed, so I saw a little herd of ten deer last night. I got a huge smile on my face for the rest of the drive home - and got another smile on my face blogging about it.
This morning I had decided to let Butler go Speedo-free today and when I saw he did his business the last time I let him out before I headed for work I felt pretty comfortable with my decision. I got home and there was some pee by the couch (on the new rug I bought last night at WalMart which is another issue) but I cleaned that up right away.
We got some snow today so after cleaning up Butler's mess I told him I had to go back outside to deal with the driveway, sidewalk and steps. It wasn't enough to get the snow blower out so I shoveled - basically pushed the shovel along until I hit a crack that stopped the shovel from moving forward. Then I'd pick up the shovelful of snow and toss it to the side. It took a little while and the wind was really bitter cold. I might have over done it just a little because I feel something in my back. When I got inside I took four Advil to get them on board and it's about time for me to take some more.
Besides buying the rug to go by the couch last night - I bought a box of sugar cookies and a box of chocolate chip cookies at WalMart for $2.00 each. The box of sugar cookies was my supper - which I split with Butler - and I washed them down with a Coca Cola. Man.....were they good. So.....at midnight when I realized I wasn't really falling asleep it hit me - the caffeine in the coke was keeping me awake...wonderful. Then this morning I also realized....sugar cookies.....sugar.....I'm sure that didn't help any either. At least today was Friday and no matter what, you can always survive a Friday at work.
