Blue Dog Nights

I arrived in the Great Lakes state almost a week ago and I’ve been so busy! My morning starts early with coffee lakeside. Then I barely have time for a quick spot of breakfast before it’s time to take the mutt out for his walk along the lake. By this point, I’m usually rushing back to the cottage, but somehow make  it just in time for the morning paddle trip. Although I probably shouldn’t, I try to make time for a mid-morning snack before my morning reading session on the dock.

By this point, I’m typically falling behind schedule so I just throw a few provisions in the cooler and head out in the boat for the early afternoon reading session on the water. Before I know it, it’s time to head back to the dock to take the mutt out for his daily swim and rock collecting expedition. Although I’m usually feeling rather fatigued, I press on and just barely get my early evening walk in before making dinner preparations. With exhaustion setting in, I know it’s imperative that I grab the fishing pole and catch a few fish and drink in the sunset before calling it a day.

Not sure how I’m going to be able to keep up this pace for another month, but I’m trying to stay positive. It’s a dirty job, and someone’s got to do it, so I guess I’ll make the sacrifice.
