How depressing! I've never in my life had a horse that is or has been speculated to be a QUITTER! Ahg! I'm ashamed! I had Lottie in a lesson today and by gosh she is a lazy thing and she always has been, but she did great and was listening and trying. An dthen the trainer, who I know well and respect or I wouldn't have taken the lesson said to always be careful not to work her until she's tired because she'll quit. MAN! I am seriously bummed. I mean, lazy, sure, I knew that, unspeakably mellow,...

Don't you have those times when you look at your life and think, man alive, how did this happen? I just got caught looking out at the horses today and wondering how on earth I ended up with four of them. I only really liked having two. I liked that a lot. I really liked the bills for that a lot. I guess it makes me a bad person, but I can't help daydreaming about the day that I'm back down to just a pair. I don't know anyone who still has their first horse, their second, their third, and their fourth....

Yes, a little early for Christmas grumps, yet the sentiment is so perfectly fitting I could not resist. I am impatiently waiting for a call from the police to see if I passed or not. Gah.

I was not there. I knew he was going to go and I was not there. I left. My baby, my boy of fifteen years. I miss him following me to the barn. I miss his purring. I miss his scratching at the door to go in and out. He used to like to watch the toilet flush. He used to stare at the fishtank. He tipped over...

I am really up in the air about taking the trooper test. I know it's what I originally planned to do but... I don't know. I don't know if I would like that better becauase it'd be all traffic stops, or less because the dangerous parts would be REALLY dangerous since I"d be alone. I just odn't know. I'm going to see how my time for my run is tomorrow, if it seems impossible for me to get it back down since vacation, I may just skip the testing... Mand! I reallly can't decide on this one. ...
