I am sad today

I went to work. Extraordinarily depressing. Then Husband called to tell me that our horse had died during the night. This made me so sad.

His name is King and he was born with us. He was 30 years old. I will no doubt refer to him as 'is' and 'was' forever. He was a beautiful paint horse. I'll find a photo of him and post it one of these days. We have a young man who feeds for us and he called Husband around noon and told him he had found King this morning when he went out to check on the horses. Evidently, King had just laid down and went to sleep. Husband took care of everything and brought me some of King's mane and tail hair. I have been going down memory lane thinking about him all day.

And now...here is a photo of Tom...being taunted by Husband. With his own whisker. Well, he shouldn't leave them hanging around! Right back atcha Tom! He has been all over us since we got home. Even me! Normally, Tom is Husband's cat. Never leaves his side and keeps asking to be tormented. I, on the other hand, am his meal ticket. His yogurt ticket. His clean cat box ticket. But today when I came home from work, I became really tired. (A good escape route when you don't want to think about stuff) So I took a nap. I must have really out because Husband said..."I was trying to keep Tom away from you while you were asleep".

I said..."Oh thanks, but I never felt him."

"Really?"...Husband said, " He was licking your face!!!"

HORRORS!!!!

"No shit? I never felt it!" I said.  I'm thinking I was really asleep.

It smells good in here. Husband is making some BBQ sauce. I think if it as 'dipping sauce'. A couple of pieces of bread...a bowl of sauce...doesn't get any better than that!

Have you ever tried Lean Pockets? I had never had one until tonight. It was the Turkey, Broccoli and Cheese one. I mean two. I ate them both. There was 800 mg of sodium. Total. Not good...but not bad I don't think. I have definitely eaten worse. Actually I ate worse earlier. I ate Ruffles (ummm...Ruffles Lightly Salted, I might add) and Green Onion Dip. Made me full.

I have several things I really need to do tonight which earlier I didn't think I was going to get done...but I have changed my mind. It must have been the nap.

I have to give Tom some yogurt now. He's giving me the very evil eye. See ya later.
