No Update Today

I am on overload. Good news and bad. We are defrosting freezer, cleaning out fridge for tomorrow delivery and we have a pup going home. Them we have class. To top it off Nathan bit the bullet and got the dryer as it was no extra charge for delivery.

So, I am cleaning out that room to make room for the dryer to come out and a new one to go in. How I am going to get my grooming table out, the towels out, my supplies etc and wash and clean out behind the dryer - well I may not sleep tonight. Inevitably there are always things that fall behind and need to be cleaned. Plus it all has to go BACK!

We still do not know when delivery will be but we have 2 pups going home so we will be juggling tomorrow and then all that stuff has to go back - oh I said that - a nightmare. By Sunday after the last pup goes home, I may fall dead asleep.

So, no upload. I am sure you understand. 

Nathan will clean up the kitchen after cooking before the pup departure but the rest is on Dennis and I. Hmm why is that?

Nathan is not doing well with his arthritis and foot infection so he gets to take care of him. Maybe he will take care of me on Sunday. hahahaha

Darlah, just send you an email regarding tonight's class. I really wish I can help you out with your overloading day. I hope Nathan's foot and his arthritis will get better. I don't know if it's the weather or what, but my ankylosing spondilitis (like a form of arthritis) is also acting up a bit. Don't you wish you can time travel and it's really Sunday today?

Darlah you are like Superwoman! So much and it all seems to happen at once! Hope things go smoothly and all your fab new appliances get delivered and installed without a hitch. Hope Nathan feels better.

Darlah - when everything is said and done you deserve a break - which should include a day to yourself, a favourite dinner, maybe a movie or shopping spree for new clothes. Whatever your heart desires!
Also include a nap in the afternoon with your dogs and make sure you watch your favourite tv shows in the evening! 💞

Sylvia:

Nathan has the same. :-)

I agree with Liz, Darlah. You work too hard. You will get ill if you don't take some time for yourself and nobody wants that.

Hope all the appliance shuffling goes well.

The lucky forever families taking a Talemaker puppy home will be so happy.

Dennis I hope your long list of chores takes less time than you thought.

Darlah I agree with the other postings, you need to give yourself a break. Catch up on all the programs that you have missed. Take a week off of grooming visitors. Groom only your dogs. Sit down. okay ?????

We are not done yet. Tracy helped Dennis defrost and he used a wet vac to suck up most of the water reducing my laundry - hooray but now I am helping him. I am still finishing up the laundryroom/grooming room. When you don't move appliances for years and years, it's interesting what the floor looks like under and behind them.

Way too much work.
