I brake for snakes
Didn’t ever make it on the exercise bike last night; went to garage and dh had so much stuff leaning on it I didn’t even try.
Took A. to horsey camp then went to bank and gym; it’s a whole different group there late morning. Wanted to do 3 miles on tm but settled for 2.6 as I was absolutely dripping sweat all over—my t-shirt was just soaked. Went up front to the rower where it was quite a bit cooler and the temp guage on the wall up there said 80; so god knows how hot it was in the rear of the gym—did 7 of the 10 minutes I had planned; I was too wiped out by the heat. They are “working on” the ac; problem is, they’ve BEEN working on it for weeks and it’s getting worse and worse.
Anyway………food: grapenuts flakes w/skim, V8, decaf tea w/skim……..lunch: roast beef sandwich on onion roll, mixed greens salad w/ tomatoes and cucs, balsamic dsg., chow chow…………dinner: bar-b-que pork (ate 2/3), sm. amts. of cole slaw and beans, 4 hush puppies w/ a bit of butter
Picked A. up at 5pm and encountered a long black snake (at least, I think it was a black snake and they are good guys) on the 2 lane road out of the stables………he was crossing the road, so I put my blinkers on, stopped, and held up traffic for him. He made it safely across. My good deed for the day. This stable where they have camp is a huge stable—-90 horses!!! A. had a super time according to her—lots of jumping, dressage, and some classroom theory. In bed already!!!
I have a dull headache; been with me most of the day. Don’t know if it’s allergies or from being so miserable hot in the gym…….gonna put my feet up, read my book, a Dick Francis, make my mug of hot milk shortly and hit the bed.
G’nite, chickadees.

That snake is going to be a good friend! You need a vacation from that gym! Not sure how much of one I’m going to have today but I’m up and getting ready for El Dentisto!

Hope you had a good sleep and feel better today. Probably was all that heat. Good deed indeed! The universe is smiling on you!

Hee hee, how did I know that Dick Francis would be one of your favourite authors? I hope you’re feeling better now.

I hate snakes, cannot stand them. That is one good thing (among many) about living on Hawaii….no snakes.
I used to live in the USVI and I hated the snake there…and the rats…
Hope your headache is better.

There are no more Dick Francis novels in my library. I will search some more when i go next time. I LOVE his books.
Take care and hope you feel better. Very nice of you about the snake.
love,

Kharma will catch up with you for saving the life of the snake.
Sounds like DD is doing well with the horses. It is great to get a good foundation. I wish we had the need for air conditioning here. It is still unseasonably cool and wet. But it could be worse. Have a great night!
