For that I apologize... Only not really, since no one really reads this. I apologize mostly to myself because when I write on here I feel much better about things. So, now. It's October. The barn has flooded twice in the past week. My stalls stayed dry, and my hay stayed dry enough to continue using. Half the arena is trashed though and a few stalls flooded to the point where the horses were standing in water. The rubber mats in the breezeway (where we tack up) and in the wash rack were all moved because of so much rushing water. Meanwhile, Dale is on vacation. In Japan. Hope you're having fun - serious sarcasm in case no one else got that.
Also I had a horse incident where a horse and I took a fall through a makeshift roundpen and I injured my arm and knee. It's been a little over a week since the injury and I'm just now starting to be able to use my right arm again... Technically I should still be in a sling, but I'm tired of having everyone do things for me and I've gone too long without riding. It's funny though (not actually funny but you know what I mean), Boo has started acting much different around me. He is so very gentle and patient with me, he wont pull or push or be rude at all. To other people he is short tempered and he even tried to bite Becky a few days ago... But with me he is being very careful. I rode him yesterday, although I can't fully use my right leg or arm - I can, I just can't really use much leg pressure and I don't have enough strength in my arm to deal with any bit-heavy horses (exactly what Boo is)... Nonetheless, I rode him, after he hadn't been ridden in over a week, and he was an ANGEL. Even with an entire side of the arena being wet and slick which we had to avoid the whole time (makes it much harder to do canter circles with such a big horse in that little space of good, dry footing), he did amazingly well. I even got him to start shaping up and using his body in his canter circles. I am an extremely proud horse-mom. Anyways, I should be back to normal in another week or so.
My mom is trading in or selling (don't know which yet) her mini cooper. Finally. What's she getting to replace it? A 2014 Subaru Legacy. She gets in on Monday. I am so jealous, but also so very happy for her!! Thank god there will be no more of that stupid mini cooper. While on the topic of cars, Ted is doing well. Weird strange noises still common, as Ted likes to be heard, but he is doing well and is happy. I love him very much :)
I have found Jordie - more than once now, actually. I found him, then lost him, then found him, and just yesterday it seems that I've lost him again. I bought him a phone the second time I found him, but now that phone is turned off (It's been a little over a week. Seriously, Jordie?). I have all his clothes sitting in my room right now, seeing as that he has been living in some bushes and it's been raining a lot, all his clothes got thoroughly soaked and needed to be washed anyways, so I've done all his laundry and would have folded them too but he likes his clothes folded a specific way so I'm gonna leave that to him... He was supposed to come fold them on Tuesday.... It's Friday, and I haven't heard from him since Wednesday. Maybe I'll find him on Saturday, that's when I found him last time at a park where a church group was giving out free meals and clothing. I know he is trying to get better, and I'm trying to help him as best I can... My family isn't being the most supportive, but I understand they are worried about me. They don't like my decision to fully support him in any way I can, because they are worried I might get hurt or start doing drugs... Neither of those will happen - I mean I'm sure I'll get hurt emotionally, but that's gonna happen regardless of being with Jordie or anyone else. Jordie and I are both Old Souls... He was proud to tell me he was one, he calls it being an "Elder" which is the same as what I call an "Old Soul". Interesting that, while I could tell the moment I met him that he was in fact an Old Soul, I am too, and if he is aware of that he has made no indication of it. I haven't told him, I don't think it matters terribly. Also I don't like telling anyone that. Lol, so I post it on the internet.... Not like anyone reads this anyways, right? :P I started getting a cold, and while complaining about it to Jordie he said, "Do you know any witches?" I refrained from snorting, seeing as that I am a witch, and replied "Yes, of course I do." He smiled and said, "Then just have one make you a potion to get better." Thanks for the advice, Jordie. While it's a great idea, I've just done a healing spell for my arm and it's working beautifully, and I'd like all energies focused on my arm until its better before worrying about a cold.
Anyways, I've got to finish this up so I can go get ready for my day. Teaching a riding lesson this morning, and possibly riding my horses as well. It's a beautiful day today, but sadly it's going to be freezing as well. Great for my cold, eh? :P
