Saturday I took a CPR class in preparation for starting on child care soon. Â It was a long day sitting inside and it almost killed me. Â I just don’t sit well. Â I hope the teacher didn’t see the quilting doodles I was making. Â I feel bad but the only way I can sit from 8 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon is to doodle. Â I designed a quilt and doodled a few quilting designs. Â What can I say? Â I did learn CPR too but please don’t ever give me a chance to practice it in real life. Â I am confident that I could do it if needed but I really don’t want to…EVER.
When I got home I realized that I had missed our most beautiful day all winter!! Â I refused to let the few hours of daylight pass me by without enjoying it so I took Ruby on a walk.
Ruby hasn’t done much town walking so this was pretty new to her. Â It’s been either, cold, snowy or icy since we moved. Â I had wondered how she would do..if she’d bark at neighbor dogs…if she’d try to sniff everything…if she’d try to pee and poo on everything.
For our first time out I decided we should try to just walk through the main drag and out of town on the road. Â I figured that would be the least amount of strange dogs and just a small exposure to people.
All in all, she did really good. Â She pulled on the leash some and that’s not my favorite. Â I think next time out we’ll use the harness. Â By the time we got home the sun was starting to set.
I sure was glad we got a chance to get out. Â It’s not often that early February brings the nice warm temps. Â I was out with just a sweatshirt.
I hurried and washed two windows before it got too dark to do that. Â AH…what a relief to at least be able to see out two of them. Â The next warm day we get, I’ll be at least washing the rest of the main floor windows.
It was such a treat to get to walk Ruby with just a sweat shirt on and  such a treat to be able to wash a few windows….What a great day!!
