I'm not sure why, but Greg decided to wake me up at 5:15 this morning. I don't start work until 7 a.m., and have my alarm set for 6:15 but I'm usually up way before that, so generally get an hour of overtime in in the morning. BUT, I was not ready to get up at 5:15 today! Well, I did, anyway, because I couldn't get back to sleep, and my guts were rumbling, telling me I needed to get up and go. So, I ended up starting an hour early, and it was a good thing I did, because I was crazy busy today! The day literally flew by, until, of course the last half hour, which totally dragged.
I went outside and picked up the rest of the shingles from the (collapsed) barn and silo that were all over the yard, and picked up another three or four five gallon pails of shingles. (I had picked up a bunch of pails of shingles a week or so ago, as well.) All the shingles that were in the way of the lawnmower are now picked up. Even with all the weight training I've been doing, it was NOT easy to bend over to pick up all those shingles. Once I picked up one pail-full, and I straightened up, my back was screaming at me! I was bound and determined to get it all done, though, and sure enough, I did!
Once that was done, I decided to tackle the garbage. We don't have garbage pick up, because we live in the middle of nowhere. We have to take our garbage to the dump. Truth be told, Greg is a bit of a pack rat. It drives me CRAZY! I give him stuff to throw out and he puts it on the shelf. What's with THAT?! Seeing as I'm the one that's going to be going to the dump in the morning, it was up to me to get everything ready! I have two doors (side garage doors) and a boatload of other garbage! My friend, Jessica came over and helped me get a bunch of stuff in my truck. She had to get home to feed the family and came back later with their dog, Newton.
Newton is a Blue Nose Pit Bull, and the SWEETEST dog EVER! He and Erica's dog, Aspen love to run and chase each other! Jessica and I finished loading my truck,while Aspen and Newton played. After about an hour and a half, it was time for Jessica to get back home. I must say, Aspen is WIPED OUT! LOL!
To update on Greg, he went for radiation today and was able to turn in his chemo pump! YAY! Hew won't have any more chemo for about 3-1/2 weeks, but he will still have radiation 5 days a week. His last radiation treatment will be on FLAG DAY! Easy to remember -- June 14th! He'll still have two more chemotherapy treatments after that, but it will be nice to not have the daily radiation treatments.
So, that's all for today. It's time for me to hit the sack! Talk to ya'all soon!
Blessings to all!
Julie
