Today is a Wednesday, which is my day off from work. This is the day I always say I will do my housework, and catch up on study assignments. I also make myself available for Brave Dogs errands. Here’s how my day went today:
6.30 am – Out of bed, threw on some clothes and took dogs for a run around the yard (they ran, I walked), then fed the hungry critters. That kept them quiet for a while!
7.45 am – Onto my second coffee for the morning, logged onto computer to check emails. A text message on my phone from Brave Dogs about taking a couple of dogs to the AWL vet for desexing.
8.30 am – I’m on my way to the old pound to pick up Rocco and Gyppi, it is their turn to get desexed.
9.30 am – Have dropped off the dogs at AWL, on my way home I have made a detour to the homebase group of shops and I’m checking out Trade Secret, Fantastic Furniture and Spotlight.
11.00 am – Have bought a few things – polo shirts for H, some discounted toiletries and a nice quilt cover for our bed. Rounding off my shopping with a fresh coffee and slice of passionfruit cheesecake!
12.00 pm – Finally home again after a couple more stops to check the post office for mail and pick up some bread and milk. Couple of Brave Dogs phone calls, both good – one of the dogs has found a home, an employment agency is sending us some voluntary workers and needs our certificate of insurance.
1.00 pm – Finished updating the Brave Dogs web site with new info, added the desexed dogs to Pet Rescue site (they only take desexed dog listings). Now for the housework!
4.00 pm – vacuumed, mopped floors, dusted for three hours! Fitted in a wander around the yard with the dogs; I had left Spook unattended and she destroyed a pot plant (rose bush – not a big one) and had somehow unplugged the electric lead from the water pump!! thank goodness the power was off. Cleaned myself up, then back onto the computer, doing some Brave Dogs book work – preparation for the AGM this Saturday and making a couple of calls to find out what bills need to be paid.
5.00 pm H. home, with Spook’s new kennel in the back of his ute. It is a solid plastic cast dog house and the colour matches our house. Lets hope she doesn’t chew this up like she does all the plastic plant pots!!
That’s about it for the day; had a stir fry Beef with Black Bean Sauce for dinner. Now just finishing off some book work, and then will turn in for the night. Back to work tomorrow!
