5:57 Not to bad. Doing wash now. Did have a long day yesterday. Had a real truck full of preciouse little lives. It was very tense while driving all those dear animals. Most were quiet and patient. A few, especially one cat, were noisily apprehensive. One poor little dog, Ember, had to have her own personal carrier according to her foster mom. The thing is that her carrier was too big to fit in the cargo area of the van. So I had to put her in the passenger seat. It took me at least five or six tries to get the belt around the carrier. Then the poor girl drooled and dripped all the way home. I hope she has a better day today. She was a sweetie, but you could see she was extremely uncomfortable.
One very large fluffy girl dog would not stand up. She just sprawled out on her belly and went totally limp. I tried, but could not get her up off the floor. I did not try too hard though, because she'd had surgery on her belly, and I was afraid to her her. One little vet tech woman grabbed her front and back and carried her to the van. It still took two of us to get her into her cage. When I got us all back to the rescue, she again was a problem. It took two of us to get out of her kennel. Then she went limp again on the driveway. Katey grabbed her and carried her into the building like it was nothing. I was a little embarrassed by these two strong women.
I think I could have done it, but was not at 100 percent due to my cold, and did not want to risk hurting her.
I did not see Karen yesterday, but she is bringing some dinner to me this evening. I think I am no longer catching. At least I hope so. For her sake.
I will stay up this evening, and watch Jimmy and all the after Midnight shows. I am taking Debbie and her friend Patty to the airport at 3:15 am. When Deb and I went to MN our flight was at 7am. So we planned to get up at 3 and get ready to leave for the airport at 3:30. We both screwed up our alarms. Our driver, her ex John, was knocking at my door while we were still sleeping. LOL!!!
We did pick up the pace that morning. The travel portion of our trip to MN was the TRIP FROM HELL due to our late start ,the world wide outage, and my cold. I am not really over it yet.
Poor Deb has caught my cold, and is leaving for a vacation in Ft Lauderdale at 3:15 am tomorrow. She may not have the best of times if her cold is anything like mine was. Debbie tries to encourage monarchs in her yard. Today she found a few of her baby caterpillars have hatched on her milkweed plants.
Well my dryer is about done. So I need to go. CUL EV1. GBU, Israel, Ukraine, and all who are suffering.
