My brother and his fiance are going away for the weekend, so I get to petsit the horses, dogs and cat for them.  She's a vet tech, and he used to be, so they pretty much have everything down to a science where the animals are concerned, which means all I have to do is lay out the food, give the dog its pill, and then watch a few movies on their 65 inch HD TV. 

People - the TV is bigger than me!  

Not to mention they have a blue ray DVD player.  I am so insanely jealous of them sometimes, lol.  When she asked me how much I wanted for taking care of the critters, I told her not to worry about it.  Her response?  "Then I guess you'll just get a nice surprise, won't you?"  I feel kind of bad, because if I don't take the money, they'll get angry with me.  But I also know them, and they'll pay me way to much. Hell, I think just being able to watch whatever I want on their TV is reward enough.  

Anyway, that's what I plan on doing tomorrow.  I told them I'm in a sling so I won't be able to sling the hay or anything, and she assured me that they would have it all ready for me.  I love their horses, even if they do scare me.  Big animals tend to intimidate me, no matter how gentle they are.  

Nothing much else to say.  My life is really spectacularly boring.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Pet and house sitting is a lot of responsibility, even if it doesn't involve much in the way of physical work, so kudos to them for planning to pay you! And don't you feel guilty for taking what they offer you--you *deserve* it! (((hugs)))

Meanwhile, you can enjoy the animals and the TV, and get a bit of a break from stress, hopefully!

((((more hugs))))

It was a really good weekend, aside from my car getting crunched, and fiance slipped me some money and gave me glare of doom when I tried to refuse, so I bowed to the inevitable and accepted graciously, lol. Also? Playing X-Box on that TV totally rocked!
