RAINY TUESDAY.....
It is still overcast with occasional rumbling and lightening strikes. At times the sky lightens and the sun comes briefly but very briefly. It is a gift to the vegetation and livestock in our area which has really taken a beating the past couple of months. I may sound like a broken record on the subject but I am so very grateful for the rain.
I have failed to mention the results of Rocky’s hope to be in the PowerLifting Meet on the first of July. He trained up to the last few days and finally said he would have to withdraw. He knew his strength wasn’t up to par for a Meet and he didn’t want to take up time with a less than average capability. These guys are very competitive but only with their own records…..they are a close group and pull for each other.
They were disappointed Rocky wouldn’t be in the Meet but we went on Friday evening and again on Saturday to cheer others on…..they were happy he showed up for them and that’s what they like about him. It isn’t all about “him.” He’s a Gary Cooper kind of guy…..doesn’t say much but what comes out is worth listening to.
Tuffy is still at the Vet’s and I would imagine not liking it very much. He was to get stuff in his digestive tract and then X-rays every two hours for a total of four. Dr. Orchard was hoping it would clear up the mystery of his weight losses. So do we. I’ll be very glad to get my kitty back tomorrow. Morris, Sassy and Mandy are uneasy because that’s two of the residents gone from our home. The minute Rocky or I sit down it’s an open invitation for one of them to hop on our lap and ask for some TLC. Our home seems a lot bigger without Amber and Tuffy. But sadder.
Rocky has been down and out since last Wednesday but today decided to drive down to the gym for some exercise. We got a letter from the Lance Armstrong Organization this morning and after reading it we were inspired anew. We are both big fans and who wouldn’t be with his amazing story? LIVESTRONG has circled more than a few wrists…..it has literally gone around the world.
I read a quote I liked today…… “ Getting something done is an accomplishment; getting it done right is an achievement. (Anonymous)
Until tomorrow,
Essentially Esther
