Is anyone else annoyed at the "Day:XX" posting as title each day? I am, since this second 8 week challenge is not turning out to be a count down, or count up for that matter. So, as the creator of this blog, I'm making an executive decision to drop the "Day:" part and simply post stuff. Whew, I feel better already.
Today started off with the updating of my blog since I had forgotten to update it in five days. Water aerobics followed that, then errands, reading and lunch at the Rock Creek Corner bar. Everyone will be fully unsurprised that I had fish and chips. After lunch, we ran a few more errands, then took the dogs out for a walk.
Buckley is a very excitable little dog. Today, the thing that excited him most was gross stuff on the ground. Some of his favorite gross things were: goose poop, duck food, melted candy canes, dog poop, and unidentifiable objects. The melted candy cane got him so excited that he ran under my foot as I was setting it down, which made me step on him pretty hard, accidentally. After that, my little buddy was on high placed choke chain and very short leash. I hated doing it, but it is the only way to calm him down when he gets "nose crazy". Those of you with hound dogs know exactly what that means.
Guitar practice came next, after the walk, and the dogs hung out with me while I played. I think they were less interested in music and more hopeful to be fed. but I took it as a compliment anyway. I'm getting better on the damned chords, but oh so slowly. I am now trying to read the really low notes (below middle C), which have always been hard for me to read. I'm sure using those notes will make them easier to read, eventually. I rarely got below a low B or A on the French horn.
Now, I'm typing my blog single-handedly, since Buckley is sitting on my left hand. Silly dog. Please forgive any typos. We'll finish watching the Peter O'Toole/Audrey Hepburn movie (How to Steal A Million) tonight, then off to bed.
Be happy and healthy!
