Place: Hillsville, VA 44/54
Main activity: Sun - animals, jog, bath
Notes: Didn't sleep great, was worried about Harley coming back in. Up several times calling for her - the first big wake-up was 111a, saw so many 111's and 1111's yesterday! Didn't get up then till almost 7a, did the indoor pets routine and then Lilly Mae and I headed out to horses. This is what Major's stall looked like after he'd eaten this morning and headed out to the paddock (waiting to go to pasture) ... Lilly Mae loves to snarf up the bits of remaining food. About a typical morning, some much worse w/ 2 stalls like this to clean up. Finally not so shockingly cold and the wind was still so got warm sweeping and scooping. Just arrived last Sat night and Scott & Cami left ~1030a a week ago today where I still had help w/ the morning feeding/cleaning (definitely time is warped right now!) After the cleanup and realizing I've had about enough of all this work starting when I get up and not finishing until just before bed (I guess a week that feels like a month or 2 is my limit?!), I decided I hadn't exercised since Kathy's in Greenville, SC (11/10) - a full 4 weeks ago! - I geared up and went for a short jog. Large up-and-down hills here so it's a bit limiting espec being out of shape and before that, flat Florida! Went 20 min tho and felt good to do it! Did a nice magnesium-epsom-essential oil bath after with Florida water and candle, holiday music playing in other room. Made wonderful coffee then and whipped cream, plain and chocolate! Did a dark load of launry after the bath. Watched the CBS Sun morning show then on replay in my YouTube TV - took awhile to get thru it. After that, laid on the couch and listened to the 5 short tracks of Jo's Sedona method tho couldn't stay awake ... after that put on another guided meditation and went right back out. When I came to later, felt very out of it and like I'd traveled thru time or a portal or something. Made some eggs w/ bacon & toast then and had kombucha jello w/ whipped cream, put football on but not great games/teams. Went out just before 5p, very mild temps in low 50s - both horses in pasture but up near the paddock ... Paint came first and then Major also thundered up as I was at the gate - didn't have to use the halters! Maybe they've also had an energy shift like I did. Had more snacks, fed Lilly Mae, Harley and Gizmo early. So tired and day feels so long but that it kind of disappeared and feel I didn't totally enjoy my Sunday (disappointing). Lilly Mae barked at 10p to go out, then again 11p and 230a ... just to be barking I guess.
