Day 209

I slept in this morning, until 8:30.  Yesterday really took a lot out of me.  I'm just not very used to stress any more.

After breakfast I did a couple of domestic chores.  Ellen called and said they wanted to do training at the hospital.  I told them to set it up for 1.  Then I went out to the garage and sanded down the flamingo that I bought awhile back at an estate sale.  I only pent about 20 minutes on it because I wanted to get going.

Lucy REALLY didn't want to be tied up in the bedroom.  She was crying when I left.  I had her lead securely shortened and I left her chew toy with her so she could take out her frustrations.

I left the house a little after 10 and drove up to the Silencer Shop.  I watched a guy buy four of them.  Then I asked my questions and got them answered thoroughly.  I'll probably buy one or two tomorrow.

After that I had lunch a McDonald's and then went to the hospital.  I was there early, so I just talked with Ellen and played Minions.  For once they were on time.  At 1 the same nurse who gave us the training earlier came in.  She actually changed the bag with us watching and me doing some of the process.  It was a lot more instructive than the dry run she did.  The process is not really difficult, but it is a pain in the ass.

After she was done I stayed for a little while.  I left at 3, which turned out to be a little late.  I ran into a three mile slowdown/traffic jam North of the river.  Things were slow from the river to past 360.  It took over an hour to get home via the post office.  I almost used to slow traffic though.

It seems the next few days will be rain free, so when I got home I rinsed off the car.  It was hot, over 90.  It felt good to finally get the Kerrville dust off of the car.

After that I went inside and did some research on silencers.  It turns out that jug ears is screwing up buying with a trust also, so I'll definitely buy two tomorrow.  I'm also going to see about buying a SBR this weekend.

That took most of the evening.  I watched a taped episode of Deadliest catch.  I also called Mom.  Ellen called just to talk for a little while.  Now I'm going to bed.
