I turned my Wednesday around despite being a bit down about not having my entire day free.

I got home by 2:30 PM and fed the dogs before laying down to take a two-hour nap. I woke at 4:30 PM and decided to grab the No. 28 Loop around Kettering to grab some food at Elsa’s Sports Bar on Stroop Road. On the bus, I decided to move on to The Greene to eat at El Toro so I could go to the T-Mobile store to get an upgraded phone.

After eating, I was on my way to the T-Mobile store only to discover it was permanently closed. Great. There was a store at Town & Country I could visit and take No. 17 directly home.

Well, that store, too, was closed. I will revisit this issue next week.

Now, before leaving The Haasienda, I discovered Colonel Deeds munching on a recently killed squirrel. I shooed him away and grabbed a shovel to dispose of the remains on the other side of the fence into the easement.

It’s a beautiful day and the pooches are loving their time outside. I wish I could spend some time outside but it’s time to get ready for another event. I should be home by 9 PM. I will have another event on Saturday evening and will be away from the house from 8 AM – 11 PM.

Chief has been more animated the past twenty-four hours. Flyer (2000-2013) was a roller-coaster finale, great days to “We’re getting close to…”  I continue to monitor Chief and to trust my gut. He is a trooper!

As I finished writing this blog entry, Chief was playing in the study with Harrigan, Hoskins, and Colonel Deeds.

Make it a great day!
