Most of yesterday was spent dealing with the podcast drama. I’m still pretty sick and not doing much, one bright thing is that it’s been raining almost non stop. I like the rain and so does my elder princess. After requesting for awhile to go outside, despite not having pants on, we got dressed for the wet and cold then went out side. There was a long puddle along the driveway in the dirt/mud, she spent kept running back and forth through the puddle, stirring up the mud. Eventually the mud had gotten so thick that she became stuck in it. I pulled her out and loved the whole situation. Even after that and after the queen returned home, the princess still wanted to walk around more. We went to the pole barn where her favorite puddle can usually be found, except this time of year it was full of fallen leaves. That reminds me of an adventure we went on over the weekend. My riding mower is in the pole barn and it had been awhile since I ran it, so I wanted to go for a little ride to make sure it’s still working. When I sat in the mower, the princess was adamant that she should be the one to drive. She physically doesn’t weigh enough for it to turn on with her in the seat. After I started the mower without her, she was upset and I beckoned her to hop aboard. I couldn’t get out of the seat or put on the brakes without the engine turning off, so we had a fun time getting her to climb up the deck while I helped and tried to keep things still. We then drove around the parameter of the property before I parked it back in the pole barn. Despite plenty of time sitting in the mower, she had never been in it while running, after we finished she seemed a little in shock by the whole adventure, but quickly cheered up.
