Wah!
This spoiled pony isn't used to coming home to an empty house. Yeah, I know, the dogs are looking at me and thinking "What empty?" Still. I was worried that I was late due to a network problem at work, and completely taken aback by the absence of Gary's car when I reached the house. Then I remembered. He's back in school and has a class on Monday night. There were lights on and he'd built the fire up before leaving so it was pleasantly warm, but empty when I didn't particularly feel like being alone.
He just called a few minutes ago during his class break to ask if I'd listened to his message on the answering machine. Um, no. I never think to look at the thing. Telephones just aren't on my interest list and never have been. So anyway, the message apparently was that he'd called for the sheep doc, who didn't arrive before he left for class so he called back and asked them to reschedule for tomorrow. Apparently no change in Shaun's condition. Good thing he called though. Then I tried to listen to the message and it's unintelligible. The combination of his digital cell phone and a cheap digital answering machine means that about 60% of each of his words gets lost.
So it's dark and cold and I'm here alone until bedtime at least.The dogs lost interest once they got fed. I don't feel like weaving so I guess I get to read for a while and go to sleep.
