How's this for a day?

9:00 AM - meet some friends at their house so you can follow them out to where they stable their horses because you actually want to get a load of horse manure for your garden.

9:30 AM - vaccinate your friends' two horses because the friend that was going to do it for them canceled

9:45 AM - drive back home, probably leaving a 15-mile trail of horse manure behind you--some of it still steaming.

10:15 AM - arrive home, parking the truck in front of the house. Notice the manure is still steaming, and feel twinges of guilt about your downwind neighbors

10:17 AM - take REALLY fast showers, change clothes, and jump in the OTHER vehicle to head to brunch with friends

3:30 PM - leave really fabulous party, stopping to browse 2 antique stores on the way home because a truckload of horse poop is nothing to rush home for

5:00 PM - start unloading manure, and wonder where a good sinus infection is when you need it.5:35 PM - admit that the tomato crop had better be STELLAR this year after all of this

6:15 PM - admit this is probably one of the reasons Americans don't grow their own food

7:03 PM - admit that you can understand why

7:39 PM - discuss whether horse manure can be classified as an "additive." Admit the fumes might be getting to you

8:00 PM - take second showers of the day, scrubbing hard enough to lose 4 pounds and 3 layers of skin

8:30 AM - fall asleep from exhaustion

And how was everyone else's Saturday???
