It's Good Friday of the Easter weekend. I miss our grown children and our two granddaughters. We'll eat anyway … but I miss making a feast for our loved ones.
Yesterday I wearied myself moving things around in my kennel building office. I do like that space, but it was already cluttered and full. Not restful the way I had it.
The newest shelving units were rather obtrusive where they were; one thing led to another and I ended up moving a small upright freezer to a different spot, and the monoliths "out of the way". 💪
The units I refer to are at least not blocking the sight of the few doggy boarders now … nor obstructing them from watching me. I am still tweaking the layout, and believe it or not, getting rid of clutter as I go. Again. 😂
For the Easter weekend, the indoor "large" kennels are full, all four of them. Sunflower seems content with her outdoor run. Rocky got temporarily downgraded to a smaller run (indoor of course) but he's a happy wee chap and okay with anything as long as he can see me. 💕🐾
I have a "new norm" for the Pet Hostel for the moment. I'm okay with this small population unless and until Gary and I want to travel.
Sometimes I say that the "wild card" and unexpected development is that my friend who opened a kennel nearby has had to close for now.
We'll "play it by ear". Even though people are free to ask, I can still say, "Sorry, no.".
Last night, I just strode down the row:
Maggie
Carly
Festus
Casey
Rocky came this morning, just for the day.
Late last night, I was texting with Shelly. Adrien's mom wants to have them there on Sunday for Easter dinner, so we will have our charcuterie-turkey-desserts-booze night tomorrow. Montana and her beau can probably come too, and hopefully Zev. 🤷🏼♀️ We are flexible and informal, and there is always something to eat here.
Today, I'm going back to tidying my kennel office. At least our handful of boarders will have my company for hours at a time. I crank up the music or listen to an Audible book, talk to the inmates residents and guests, get stuff done. Sometimes I just sit in my new vintage recliner and just play iPad games or watch TV.
Hell, I could live out there.
Hope your Easter weekend is everything you need it to be.
Love, Ann
P.s. I was lying awake for hours last night, not stressed, but just thinking.
One thing, of no consequence to anyone, was that I had bought a new set of shelves from Costco.
Why the f*&$ did I think I needed more shelves? Oh, because there was a fully assembled unit and it seemed sturdy for the price.
Last night I spent a short hour assembling this, and the spacing is not quite to my satisfaction and I can tweak it.
But where did I think I needed it? And then it came to me: I can use it in the greenhouse!
That's all. This is the kind of thing that rattles around in my head. A small task for awhile today.
