The Ridge
I seem to
always wake before the alarm, which is set for 6 am, but this was the closest I
got. It was 5:57 when I woke up on Monday, June 3rd. Bill stirred at
the same time and we got up together. He made my tea and loaded the laundry
basket, with the clothes I sorted last night, into Ptooties for me and brought
her over. He’d left her running and even clicked the button to warm up my seat!
What a sweetie!
This was last night's sunset after I'd posted |
With my thermal
travel cup of tea, water, keys and laundry I was out the door by 6:15. Not sure
at that point what the sky was going to do, we were under heavy cloud cover, I
trusted the weather forecast that there would be sun for most of the day. I
loaded 3 washers and began cleaning. Only 2 other ladies came in to do their
laundry and we chatted occasionally. I receive at least one nice comment about how
clean the Mat is each time I’m there. A nice boost of confidence.
A couple of pictures from my walk to the mailbox |
I
finished up with a thorough clean shortly after 8 and texted Jamie to advise
him of the 4 machines with issues. I don’t think they were major ones but
wanted him to know all the same. When I got home, Bill lifted the basket of clothes up the
hill to the stool and I hung them out. My fingers were freezing but I persisted
and then hustled inside to warm up. The winds are strong again which doesn’t
help to warm things up but I have no doubt the clothes will dry quickly.
Clemson wasn't feeling great today His tummy gurgled and gurgled some more love the way he tucks his nose down in the blanket |
Clemson
has an upset tummy today but was a good boy through the night and Bill had to
wake him at 8 before he went down to work on the Hangar. His little tummy is gurgling
up a storm and he can’t settle down. Usually, sitting beside me in my chair
helps him for a while but as I sit here typing, he can’t sit still for long.
Poor little fellow. Bill and I had bacon and eggs around 10 and he went back
out to work on the drywall ceiling. I’ve advised him that I’m available if he needs help.
But being in the sunshine stopped his shivering |
By 1, the
clothes were in off the line, dried right and proper. By 2, Clemmy’s tummy had
settled down and he was happy sleeping by my side for a couple of hours. Lazy
afternoon, perhaps, but I was content to sit and finish my book. It was very
good and this was the perfect time to get through the remaining 10 or 15 chapters. By evening, I am usually too tired to read without my eyes drooping after a chapter or two.
Didn't take them long to dry today |
Bill must
be making good progress down there in his ‘man cave’ as I haven’t seen him poke
hide nor hair out of the Hangar for a good 3 hours at least. I know he wants to
get as much done as possible today since he has to go to work tomorrow for a
couple of days. I don’t blame him. I had planned on grilled burgers tonight on
the Weber but with the strong winds blowing from the southwest, right across the
front of the Suite, I think I’ll be cooking them inside. That’s okay, too, they’ll
still be good.
And he soon felt better and slept easier |
At 6 o’clock
after Bill finished working and had a snooze, I fried bacon and 2 burgers. On the
side I put together a Caesar salad. Our burgers were loaded on toasted buns and even though I
debated eating the bun, I took the last one and devoured it. See? Not totally
keto. Now the buns are gone. With bacon, cheese, lettuce, pickles, onion,
tomato and condiments, it was a wonderful supper. We had some black cherry ice
cream for dessert and watched a bit of tv.
Bill finished installing the drywall today |
Just mudding the screws and painting now before trimming No wonder he is tired tonight |
I got
some more rows done on my blanket rather than start a new book. It was a
relaxing evening after getting Bill’s meals ready for tomorrow and Wednesday.
This was a good day with a busy morning and a quiet afternoon. I hope you had a
good day.
And our burgers were delicious Good night everyone! |
Thank you
for stopping by. I appreciate any comments you wish to leave.
Glad that everything is falling in place for you on the Ridge. Also hoping that Clemson starts feeling better as the temperatures warm up.
ReplyDeleteIf only the wind could die down.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
The wind has been unpleasant the last couple of days, otherwise the temperature would have been quite nice at 58F.
DeleteAww poor Clemson. Glad he’s better. It’s always nice to get a compliment about your work.
ReplyDeleteThese little bouts of sickness seem to pass, just like for us. Thank goodness!
DeleteIt is nice to hear. :)
Any chance your boy has been drinking out of puddles? My daughters dog had some isues that they traced to contaminated puddle water.
ReplyDeleteClemson is not a puddle drinker or a grass eater so we never know what causes his little tummy issues. I guess, after reading your comment, I'm really glad he doesn't drink from puddles! :)
DeleteHope Clemson's tummy troubles are merely temporary. Have you tried pumpkin? It's supposed to be good for stomach upset.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I wish I could send some of the heat we've had here this week your way. It was 35C here today!
Thank you, Clemson seems better now again. :) He is so fussy, he'd take a taste of pumpkin and not eat it. If it got past his nose. haha
DeleteI wish you could send 'some' of that heat our way too! We're never happy are we? LOL
Another productive day you had, cool but at least very sunny.. Hope Clemson is feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteMaking progress on the Hangar and laundry.
DeleteBill is making haste with the drywall. He'll enjoy having it done it I'm sure. That cheeseburger sure looks good!
ReplyDeleteHe sure is moving along.
DeleteWe both will be glad when it is done. :)
