Sunday proved to be a very productive day. I woke up coughing like a maniac and was just too lethargic to go to the gym. If DEBI is not feeling the gym one morning, she is excused from going, because the gym is a pleasure and a joy to attend. So, I turned my attention to my bedroom and began to clean parts of it. I delved into areas that have not been disturbed for a while, and while a bit dusty at times, it was a very satisfying thing to do.

About 4 I emerged, dust covered (there was a lot of construction fallout lurking about yet) I decided to finish up the huge mess that was in the kitchen and go for a walk. After actually driving into town for gas and a couple things from the grocery, I stopped by the MA's office and checked to see how he was doing. He's been pretty upbeat for as many hours as he has put in this year- seems like he was at one of those offices a LOT. (only one more week) He needed to chat with our friends (and his relatives)- Paul and Judy- out at
the sheep ranch about business stuff, he needed to get out of the inside of a building and of course it is always nice to see the lambies. BONUS TIME!!! There were puppies!!
First though I had time to walk on down to Smith Lake for a little official exercise. I was feeling better by then, and it was sunny, but cold. No surprise about the cold thing. I am not sure that the ice is going to be gone by the time opening of fishing season begins- which is in a mere 3 weeks. And it almost looks like people have been driving out there recently, maybe I am wrong though. Could be old tracks. It was a good walk, as the road is pretty much clear of snow!

When I got home, we drove on out to see the sheep. There are already a lot of lambs, and then there are those puppies!! Which will grow up to be the size of small ponies! I was petting Shep, one of the adult dogs and his massive head comes up to literally my waist. I just think about all the food and poop that one would have to deal with. Oy. So, no, no matter how cute they are, I just can't! Stay strong Debi!

It was a very nice little side-trip. I am glad I got to go, I woke up to rain and a quite unfortunate
snowcast, I mean forecast, for the week. So the gym it will be!
Until next time, be a JOY GIVER!!
