Garbage Collector

Check out the garbage under the table in the picture below:

Eva Jean was opening envelopes and peeling labels today so fast she filled the waste basket until it overflowed onto the floor and stacked up almost as high as the table. We had so much mail we were only able to process the studies, leaving the letters for later.
Ella is not progressing in her labor. Karin was able to get a little bit of colostrum out but it was clear, no sign of calcium build up. We leave the state Thursday night, if she doesn't deliver by the time we take off she will have to have this foal out in a paddock instead of a stall.
Mom had a set back today with pain management, her knee is looking better, the swelling is going down but where they put in the nerve block was very painful. She was able to do most of her therapy anyway but needed a lot of pain medication. Karin stayed with her last night, Diane brought over supper, stayed to clean up the kitchen and balance mom's check book. Karin is staying the night again, then I'll relieve her tomorrow by 3:00pm as she leaves for Gulf Shores, AL with Beth Herman, Sarah, and 2 of Rachel's kids.
We had a really good practice tonight at choir. The singing was absolutely beautiful.
