Mike Bayer at Quality Welding called last night to say he has the interior stall gates and stall divider windows ready already! (He just picked up the old gates Saturday for goodness sake!) He's coming by to install them for us today. Can't wait to see them this evening!
It's another absolutely gorgeous day. But I'm going to stay INSIDE this evening and load some of those clothes that are being taken off my hands into the truck so I can go by and drop them off tomorrow after work. Then once Nicole's friend arrives, I'd like the two of them to come over so she can show me exactly which of the rest of the things she would like to have (and which may be too "old lady" for her -- she's only in her 30's). ;-D
All those clothes, like all those horse things, are all OVER the place! Some are piled in the upstairs bedrooms, some hanging in those guest room closets, some in my own closet downstairs, some in a bag in the window seat . . . well, you get it. Maybe after I clear out those clothes, we can find someone who really needs some of the stuff out in the cottage, then unused things from the garage, maybe . . .
We just seem to need some specific "reason" to clear things out, rather than just donating them . . . something we've been planning to do but have been putting off . . . and putting off . . . and putting off . . . Enough! Let's get to it!
When my back went out, I realized for the first time that there will definitely come a time (turns out it could be soon!) when I am not ABLE to clear things out. So we definitely need to get the place straightened out now so that we have ONLY the things we actually need and use.
(If you don't hear that we've gotten to it soon, Wendy, you better remind us -- otherwise YOU may end up being the one who has to sort out a whole house full of stuff down the road. That would NOT be fun, and certainly not in a place a thousand miles away -- and hopefully when you're 70 or 80!)

Disturbing thing -- this morning when I dropped Joey off at therapy, the little whippet who is always in the cage next to him wasn't there when we got there. That worries me. She is ALWAYS there. That little thing hasn't been able to walk for a long time, and has been coming to therapy 3 days a week to be "walked" in the water treadmill so she can get some exercise she wouldn't be able to get otherwise. This morning is the very first time I've ever seen her cage empty -- and there was no sheepskin in there waiting for her like there usually is. Jennifer wasn't in the room when I dropped Joey off so I couldn't ask, but I'm wondering if that poor little thing is gone now. The last few times I've seen her, she did look less than responsive. I feel so sorry for her owners if they've lost her -- they absolutely adore her and have been doing everything in their power to keep her with them despite all her physical challenges. Hope it turns out it was just a day off for her, and not the end.
