August 30 - Hectic times

Had an interesting week.

On Tuesday, Mike from work came out and decided to take Cuba - my friend's horse that she was trying to find a home for. Cuba will be staying here - being boarded. The down side of that is that Mike was also originally interested in buying
Gidget but now has decided against her at this time. SUCKS as that sure would have helped the horse finances. LOL

Also had a lady and her dad stay over on Thursday. They are travelling from Alaska to Illinois (just north of Paige)...along with the lady's two horses. Kim's husband is in the US airforce and is stationed in Anchorage...but right now he is on his third tour in Iraq. Her horses are going back to her parent's place in Illinois as
she is scared it will be too hard to keep up with everything in the winter on her own in Alaska...plus she said the cost up there to keep a horse is OUTRAGEOUS.

I now have the next 2 days off and will be busy doing house stuff...horse stuff (I am hoping Pheonix will go this weekend to his new owner's - or I am going to start charging board as I am feeding the little guy hay as he is still running the fence whenever he can see his mom so needs to be penned).

Doyle and I are also going to go shopping for a new washer and dryer...and a new bed maybe.

Melissa has also moved out of her boyfriend's apartment. While he seemed to be a very nice guy...he was very immature and needy. Even to the point of "faking" a headache so she would have to stay home with him instead of coming out here...and faking so good that he would say he needs to go to the hospital...and when she wouldn't take him he would have a panic attack. When she decided to move out, she stayed at a friends that night...the boyfriend called her and said "you didn't come home so I let your cat outside...she's gone...happy???" Now this cat has been Melissa's best bud for 10 years and is a total house cat (may go and sit on the deck here at the farm but that's it). Their apartment is only 1/2 block from one of the busiest streets in the north end of the city. Needless to say we were panicked. She
took the day off work...rounded up some friends to help in the search. Got back to the apartment to find her cat waiting for her at the door of the apartment - INSIDE THE APARTMENT. He lied to get her home faster. When she called me and told me - I LOST IT. What immaturity!!!

Anyways..that has been the sum total of my week. LOL
