Wednesday evening, I woke up today feeling like I had been dragged through a hedge backwards, it took me ages to even get out of bed, and it was after 1pm before I finally left the hotel to take Caesar out for a walk. The problem? A stinking cold, achey joints and sore throat! Waaaaaaaaah!

So, we just pottered around Central Park today, taking in three geocaches along the way, we walked about 6 miles. I was interested to see the area Strawberry Fields, which was set aside a year after John Lennon's death with a $1 million endowment from Yoko Ono. It was peaceful there, the most noise being made by numerous camera shutters.

I visited the Dairy Gift Shop and was challenged about Caesar! Two members of staff asked me to remove my pet dog ... sheeeeesh ... he was fully dressed in his working gear, I concluded they probably weren't willing to read his jacket, so I read it to them! I also explained that as a service dog I am entitled to take him more or less everywhere with me. A suprvisor appeared, and told them how to recognise a working dog, so then they wanted to pet Caesar! Oh gnarly! I declined, again explaining that he was in the shop because he was working not for a social visit!

Fortunately, I found a pharmacy just on the same block as the hotel, so I am now dosing myself up with cold remedies in the hope that I will be feeling better tomorrow.

This evening, I played a game of poker online and then went to bed for a while, just woken up and taking Caesar out to toilet before I have an early night.
