But later in the morning, my daughter showed no signs of trouble.  Then as my wife and I were talking she realized that my daughter had accidentally sprayed herself in the face with breath spray the previous day.  Another doctor’s office co-pay and prescription down the drain.

We then changed to the east side of town and 12:30 to accommodate some other plans he had.  This was a relief since I wasn’t sure how to get there.  But it was too late, my mind was on autopilot, I managed to navigate my way one block from the west side trail before remembering we had changed to the east side.  I would have called, but my last day at my previous employer was the preceding Friday and no longer had a cell phone.

My friend I ride has suggested on multiple occasions to keep the riding shoes in the car. I agree but never remember to do it. The result is I forgot the shoes twice in one week going to the gym and on a bike ride Saturday. My wife had to stop what she was doing, load up the kids and bring the shoes to me, delaying our ride by almost 20 minutes.

It started out with my family and I playing in the backyard, and a lion in the neighbors yard.  It was trying to get in to my yard through the fence.  I got the family safely in the house and made sure all the doors and windows were shut.  As I was checking the last door which happened to be the back door I could see the lion and it could see me.  We both charged for the door.  I got there first and attempted to close it.  I closed three doors which turned out to be screen doors before trying to close the solid door.  I got all but about 4inches closed and the lion shoved it open.  I scrambled for a knife to defend myself.  I then replayed the last part over in my head several times trying different ways to defend myself.

During all of this I kept actually waking up and looking at the clock.  I watched it go by hour after hour, and each time realizing this is just a dream and I just need to go back to bed.  This continued until the alarm went off at 5am.

So after much struggle to try and figure out what to buy and where from I managed to place an order.  The following day I got a notice that 4 of my 6 items were unavailable.  And of the two remaining, one was for a friend of mine.

So I cleared everything out onto the lawn and moved the shed about a foot. Moving the shed revealed a pile of debris from previous owners. As I cleared the debris, I discovered something far more troublesome. There is an old deep stump exactly where I need to put the fencepost.

Later, when my wife picked up the dog, the man explained to us he too has a beagle and that it escapes regularly once a month.
