EO was actually able to start on the second half of the horse barn yesterday.  Steph dug the holes for the posts to go in.  EO says that was a huge help and I can imagine it was, as she dug them out really deep.  Then, I remembered how when EO was expanding the wood shed, he said the hardest part was not having someone to hold the other ends of the boards when he was putting the frame up, so he was glad I was there to help.  So I figured he might need someone to do that again, so that was my job.  That and leveling and handing him screws and plugging and unplugging the cords between when he needed the saw and when he needed the drill.  It is more than half way done, so he is getting it finished today.  Well, except for the painting.

So Steph worked her first half shift during the night the other day.  It was from 12am to 4am.  She was able to get some more practice in for a number of things there.  Now tonight she will work from 12am to 8am.  Then she will come home change clothes and work at the Merk Perk from 8:30 am to 5 pm.  what is that 16 1/2 hours?  Yeah, I think she is going to be tired.  The one lady who works the night audit, wants to cut back one night a week, and Colton doesn't want the extra shift, so I guess it is going to Steph.  I think she is working one night audit and one day shift there.  And I think in the next week or so her hours will be cut back at the Merk.  So I think she goes to 3 or 4 days a week there.  

As for me, last night I ran a SUPER high fever.  My whole body was red as a lobster.  I tossed and turned all night.  During the night I had gotten up, and I looked in the mirror and I looked like a was really sun burned.  It looked kind of funny.  I was dragging so bad yesterday, but I knew EO needed help.  I even went with Steph to go see the horses.  It wasn't for very long, but she hadn't seen them in 8 days, as she has just been gone so much.  I couldn't handle walking, so she drove me to B&C to see them.  The horses still love it over there as there is so much green grass... well amazingly enough it didn't burn up this year.  Just a couple more weeks they will have there and then they will be back home again as we will shut the gate to the back field.  I think I will run out and take a couple pics of the barn and the hay feeder that EO build too.
