Stick in the mud.
What a great day! There was a rainstorm last night in Denver and I was up for hours with scared dogs…It was great! Jemma digs non stop and would dig through the carpet if given the chance. So…to save my aunts furnishings, I attempted to hold Jemma and settle her down. It was like wrestling an alligator for and hour! I need to get her some sedatives! Ebby shakes uncontrollably and hides anywhere she can. Dear lord!
2 hours of sleep gone…
Then, after I got up and out to run errands and meet a friend for lunch, I headed over to the house where Pixel dust is being kept.
Stupid me…Stupid, stupid me.
I didn’t wake up with all my brain cells.
I pulled the truck into this field/yard to jump in the trailer and get a few things. Instantly, but too late, it occured to me that…damn…it rained quite a bit just an hour ago….And then I slid to a stop in the muddy field. I attempted to get out but to no avail. Mud mud mud everywhere! Gunning it and rocking it did not work for me. I am just not good at those sorts of things.
Good Sam to the rescue again!
30 minutes later, the nice mans field was a muddy mess of tire ruts but Otis was on paved land once again. The nice man from Robin’s towing named Marcus drove Otis out. I think he was just trying it to get it better positioned for winching but he managed to actually get it out without using his truck.
I felt like a dumbass. The car needs a car wash. Good sam roadside assistance is my favorite thing. I don’t like not having my husband around.
= )
But the day got better as I cleaned off my shoes and feet with wet wipes and I met Judith for a nice lunch at the Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse. We had a great time and then explored the greatest store ever, McGuckin’s hardware. Having worked in a hardware store my entire high school and college life, this was wonderful to see. It was like my hardware store only 10 times the size and just full of fun things! If ever in Boulder, check it out! I also heard from my Aunt that McGuckin’s had a time in the spotlight as the rope that was involved in JonBenet’s murder was purchased there…thus used as “incriminating” evidence against her mother Patsy (as she bought it). Anyway…
Then after a Whole foods stop at a very small but quite busy store in downtown Boulder, I was headed home (or home for now!). The dogs didn’t even know I was stuck in the field for over an hour…Must be nice to be a dog…
Ebby and Jemma are loving it here but because of the carpet, I seem to be electrically charged and every time I reach out to touch them, they wince because they know the shock is coming! Poor dears!
I can’t believe I have been in Denver for over a week. It has been nice though. Getting some portfolios out there and trying to get into the work world in North Carolina!
It is nice to watch a few TV shows in real time instead of on the web!
