PT this morning.
Got up and did dishes from last night. While repairman was looking at oven the boyd turned off the circuits which turned off the DW in mid cycle. (Repairman obviously not a lineman who would just take a chance on leaving an active circuit. LOL) Discovered problem when went to put dirty, greasy dishes away before loading dinner dishes ldt night. Had a full sink load of dishes, pots and pans from feeding 8 people so left them on sink after rinsing. This am made coffee, then unloaded DW and reloaded. Robert was up with mama. She was sleeping on couch. He was watching cartoons. How well I remember those last weeks of pregnancy when you fell asleep everywhere and could barely get out of deep chairs. Thank you God for menopause! Gave him a sippy cup of milk and a snack bowl of Cheerios. He tried to push one into his sleeping mother's mouth and she gagged and woke up. Thanks Robert - so generous.
Next played a little bridge online. Terrible partner. Took me to 6 Diamonds after I passed on it's (robot) 3 No Trump bid, signaling I wanted to stay at game in NT. Naturally we went down. Playing online is unsatisfactory since you can't ask your partner "What were you thinking?!" I ask anyway and answer myself for the computer - "Well, I wasn't thinking, duh."
Need to clean barn jugs for new set of lambing ewes. IF they lamb. For some reason, in spite of being marked enthusiastically by ram none of them seem ready to lamb. A couple of the older ewes are definitely pregnant, but
no udders yet and several due dates are October 30. The rest are due mid-November. Only 3 of the 11 are first timers so I think we should throw a ram in with them again and see f the summer heat caused anyone to resorb the pregnancy. Breeding now will give us lambs in March/June. Ugh. Although not the hottest months it gets pretty hot in May. If we are lucky June Gloom will cool down June. California weather patterns are odd. Grandsons said maybe they will come to work in barn on weekend IF they are not busy. Right. Moving to Texas and being without family round "to help us" won't be much of a hardship. And we will have a tractor.
Got to take my shower and get ready for PT.
