Thank heavens we're back! It was a long day without GB!!

Good afternoon.

We're having another sequence of rainy days. Perfect for hibernation. I did get to Pilates this morning.

Gerry, the rain was so awful yesterday that I cancelled the Comox trip and went to our local Nanaimo hospital. Could not find a parking spot! Drove around for a bit and then went up to the local Parksville Community Care Centre as they do imaging, too. No parking spots there, either. It was a long shot as the parking there is always brutal but I wasn't expecting that! The residential streets around these places don't allow street parking, either. I'll try the Comox hospital next week. There's a Home Depot nearby where I can park if need be.

Gerry, the emaciated horse is doing OK. He was not so food aggressive last night and even let me scratch his ears. He's still anxious for his food, but isn't pinning his ears and charging me any more. I just keep talking to him and telling him what a good boy he is. I did growl at him once, but he was a love last night - he's just hungry and his hip bones are breaking through the skin. He started pooping Wednesday, so that's a really good sign. We just have to get him past the 2 week mark. Often they are doing great and they hit that 2 weeks and then crash.

I will miss going down there tonight, but I'm also really glad I don't have to!

Opening day of deer season tomorrow - which is equivalent to a National Holiday around here. I don't hunt any more, but am heading up to the farm around noon to see how everyone did. My step-daughter usually never misses deer season, but she broke some ribs a few weeks ago, so won't be making the trip here from Virginia. This also means I get some days all to myself! Setting hubby's alarm for 4 am.

Draclvr, I really hope that horse survives. Poor thing.

Glad the forum is back online!


I guess it's late nigth/early morning for most of us now.
So no emergency coffee in the break room. You have to make do with emergeny use tea.
