Tres Dias Crazias

It's been a crazy last three days. Funky telephone calls, late-night dog C-section, a bilaterally lame mare, a very unique discussion. The grand total is that I am dead-beat tired. Good thing I have tomorrow off. And Saturday. And Sunday.

Here I thought dead-beats were the epitome of restedness and relaxedness.

Hope you get well-rested, as all good dead-beats should be.

(And that would be locos rather than crazias.) ;)

And to accent a letter (as in días), use & followed by the vowel you wish to accent followed by acute followed by a semicolon, all as single string. HTML can be pretty neat!

Apparently a dead-beat, as in the noun, is a lazy person who doesn't pay bills, etc. To be dead-beat, as in the adjective, is to be "very tired and have no energy left" according to Collins dictionary.

Yes, yes... I was being rather sloppy with the English/Spanish. :) But then Mexicans call franks, "hotdogs" -- why not "perros calientes"? :)

It was restful to fellowship with the Hopewellites on Sunday... and I'm looking forward to more of the same in 1.5 weeks.
