Monday wouldn’t be the prettiest day of the month by any stretch. In fact, it was gray and drizzly from the outset. And when Sparky and I went for our morning walk we were dodging a few leftover rain drops. I had to be a bit more disciplined with my morning routine as I slept until 615am which is 45 minutes later than my usual “get up time”. I thought that I might sleep late though, given that I was so physically exhausted from Sunday’s activities. But despite my late start, I still managed to be to work on time and in a pretty good mood for a Monday. The morning went without incident and before I knew it was time to run. And because of the low ceiling and relatively low temps, my run was superb! Again, I could’ve run all day!
Mindy and I had exchanged a few emails through the day and decided to meet at my house after work. That alone put a little extra shine to an already OK day!! I left work around 445pm so that I could stop at the bank and cash a rebate check that I received from Tire Discounters a couple of weeks ago (a gift of sorts for purchasing four tires). I hardly ever go to the bank these days so I wasn’t even sure if it would be open. It was.
I was home and tending to normal after work stuff by 515pm. I walked Sparky, prepped tomorrow’s coffee, and washed my Glad lunch containers. I was even able to read and nap for a few prior to Mindy showing up. Damn am I good or what!!!! That's efficiency! I forgot to mention that Sparky was attacked while on our walk. A very large all-white Husky-German Shepherd mix seemed to come out of nowhere and went right for Sparky’s neck. Sparky didn’t cower at all but in the end proved to be little competition for this giant of a dog. I tried to intervene as best I could but if you’ve ever been in a similar situation you know how difficult it is to do much of anything short of trying to distract the perpetrator. I pulled Sparky away and raised my voice to the large white dog. To my surprise it worked and he backed off giving Sparky and I an opportunity to move on. As we continued our walk Sparky kept looking back. I’m sure that he was a little freaked out. The only other time he’s ever been attacked was by Duke, a mean spirited little dog a few houses down, but he’s no bigger than Sparky. If nothing else, this little scrap helped Sparky go poop! The episode must have triggered something deep in his bowels because he let out a load like never before. Perhaps it scared the shit out of him!! J As you might guess, he kept looking back over his shoulder the rest of the way home.
Mindy arrived around 615pm and we spent the next 1.5 hours exchanging back rubs and talking about our day. I could get awfully used to that! J I guess I was a bad host though because I didn’t offer her any food and neither one of us had eaten dinner. I know that I was absolutely starvin’ when she left. I decided to make myself home made pizza on low-carb tortilla shells. These pizzas turned out really well and were so delicious that it’s not even funny!
I spent the next hour eating and updating my Blog with both Saturday and Sunday’s events.
Before going to bed I spent about 15 minutes playing the guitar and ensuring that I practiced the new chords and scales given to me three weeks ago by my new instructor. We have a lesson this Thursday and I don’t want him to think that I’ve been slackin’.
Song of the day: “
The Song That Never Ends”… and it doesn’t
Sang by Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop
This is the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend. Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because...This is the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend.
