Behind the curve

I am still feeling behind the curve physically, more than likely due to the scarcity of sleep on New Year’s Eve.  Plus I haven’t gotten to the gym yet this week so I am feeling like a lazy slob.

Yesterday before work I dropped Lucky off at my buddy’s place.  He wasn’t getting back from his trip until last night so I went back over during my lunch hour to let Lucky out.

Lucky was thrilled to see me of course.  We hung out in the back yard and lanai.  I felt bad that there was no available radio to turn on for Lucky.  Whenever I leave the house I leave the radio on for Tuki and the dogs if they are there.  For whatever reason the idea of leaving them home in total silence seems harsh.

Lucky gave me such a mopey sad face as I left. He’s a good boy.

Tonight I pick up the girls for another extended visit.  Dog sitting them is more challenging now since Nicki has been on thy”roids”.  She literally will take 6 or 7 dumps a day.  Letting her unattended in the house for more than a couple hours, especially in the morning is almost a surefire recipe for a stinky welcome home present.

Luckily for Ali, she has the ability to close off rooms to the point where only hard surfaces are exposed which makes clean up pretty simple.  I don’t have that option unless I am going to pin the dogs in the kitchen/utility room.

I STILL am feeling like I am behind on things to be done.  I think it is a by product of the holiday season where lots of unique items consume time.  I am hoping once I get through the trip to my dads place and the rest of the month (two big races to time) I can then resume cruising altitude.
