Wish it was more

Got some stuff done today – wish it was more but guess I should be happy with what is done. I hurt my back early on moving a dresser from upstairs to the curb by myself. I should have taken the drawers out but you know how impatient I am.

Still, have gotten quite a bit done for now and that is good. Have more bags of trash to take out and need to buy more bags too.

Took Baxter on a quick walk while the sun was still up. I have to go see the doctor so it wasn’t as long as he would have liked. However, he did get tired out and is sleeping now by his water bowl. I really think he has the heart of a lion. He’d keep going until he dropped if I let him. At the park today we walked our two miles. On the last round he was walking behind me when all of the sudden the leash went tight and wouldn’t budge. He had climbed up on one of the park benches, declaring it time to rest.

He couldn’t really fool me though. I don’t think he wanted to rest near as much as he wanted the people behind us to catch up. He really hates having people walking behind him – he’d much rather they be ahead of us. It makes it difficult when the track is a big circle but as long as he can glance back and not see anyone within a few hundred feet, he’s alright. It is one of his little quirks. I really do adore the little guy – such a sweetie.

Yesterday a group of children wanted to pet him – he wasn’t real big on that idea but stood stoically till they were bored with his lack of response. Though he was raised with children, he seems to like adults better – maybe it goes along with him liking bigger dogs as well? He sure doesn’t have the time of day for our neighbor’s little Papillion.

A title would be nice

I took Baxter for a walk this morning which took over an hour as we were in no rush – it was a nice morning for it, low 60’s and breezy. Right now he is outside sitting in the flower bed. I have the front door open so he can come back and forth. It helps keep me motivated I think to have the door open – it makes me take stuff outside.

I work Wed-Friday and then have the weekend off though I have to work 4 hrs OT unless they end up not needing me again. It will be my last time working overtime. Tomorrow is also my last 12 hr day – yippee!!!! Can’t express how happy that makes me! Time is getting so short.

15 more days until I’m done with my job – 18 days till my sister arrives – 22 days till we leave Florida. Going fast.

Sat out in the sun for about ten minutes – would have sat out there longer but someone turned on a power tool and it is still going. I hate construction noise.

My neighbor is still home – I wish he’d leave but am going to put a few things out even if he is home – I can’t work around his schedule…its driving me nuts. I’m going to take stuff out the back door and to the curb – that way he won’t see what is going on from his spot on his patio where he can watch my front door. Have I mentioned lately that I hate that guy?

I have two heavy pieces to take out so will have to wait on them but will get the other stuff out of here so I can vacuum.
