Good Night...
Taylor was 'herself' tonight - the spooky, jumpy, take-control self. We had a thirty minute ride that consisted of me saying 'Pay attention and behave!' and Taylor saying 'No, not gonna do it!'. I *think* I won the battle by the end, but it's kind of hard to tell. I got the last laugh - she sweated so much she had to have a bath..hahaha!
This is my bedtime. It is 11:00pm. Why am I not in bed yet??? Probably because I got home at 8:30pm (gone for 13 hours today), ate dinner at 9:00pm, painted one tray for an order due soon, and am now trying to chill out and relax. I am trying to remember when the last time I got to just hang out and be lazy. I have so much looming over my head. Here's the Loom list:
- We are learing a brand new show in band, to perform on Friday. It has taken two full days just to somewhat learn the opener...and we only have 3 days of practice left until the performance.
- My boots are still dirty from the last show in September. I need to clean and polish them. I don't think I have even polished my show halter once this year! My bridle needs to be oiled and cleaned. Everything needs to get packed and organized and checked a thousand times to make sure nothing is forgotten.
- I still need to ride every day, and make our rides productive (unlike today's ride!). I need to build my confidence with some great, smooth, quiet rides at home so I go into Congress with a positive attitude.
- I have laundry piling up, but then that's a natural everyday occurance!
- I am out of money. Seriously low on funds, and a $2,000 vet bill sitting on my desk, and a potentially $900 hay bill coming in a few weeks. Everything happens at once. I wonder if I can sell some organs on the black market to pay these off. Hey, I don't need two kidneys right? I wonder if I can sell my useless organs like my appendix and spleen (and brain LOL!)
- I NEED to clean up my mess in this house. Kevin is going to have another mental breakdown about it soon. I am going to get on this ASAP because I feelo very badly about my messy desk and lack of organization. I am trying, believe me I am!
- I should be working out at the Y all week, but who the heck has time? Maybe tomorrow I can run a couple miles and stretch those leg muscles. I need to be at my absolute strongest next week - physically and mentally. That means I shoudl also GO TO BED and get my sleep!!!!
- I need to spend time with Kevin. I miss talking to him, and sleepy midnight conversations in bed just aren't the same. I definitely don't want to neglect him, he is most important on my list. I just hope he understands my crazy life the next two weeks.
Good night, I am off to bed!
