Yesterday was not the kind of day "off" I really wanted. I left the house at 8, headed to Cowboy and Coyote, then over to the barn to take care of the horses there. Accidentally brought one of the wrong horses in when I went to fetch the 2 that I needed from out on the hill. Had to make the hike...

Hi @Icu4dzs Long time no chat! Glad to see you're still around! Awesome on milking for 3 years, that's a long time. I can't believe you're still up there in SDAK! Glad you haven't blown away yet! I'm not down by Gunpowder anymore, actually, up closer to APG now (yay boomy noises all day), we...

Welcome back!! I hope you're doing well!

Thanks, FEM! Yes, he did have a temper tantrum. Or a WAHOO moment, whatever you want to call it. I don't mind him doing that... as long as I'm not on board! I'm SO tired this week. I just can't seem to catch up. The weather hasn't been helping, it's been pretty gray, and very warm and humid, but...

So the big bump in the road that I don't think I mentioned here yet is that GH and SH told me they are selling the property and moving permanently move to FL. GH doesn't want to go at all, but I've known SH hasn't wanted to be in MD anymore or own the horses anymore for several years. This is...

Thanks FEM. It's more Mom drama is what it is. Everybody else is fine, she's just crazy and thinks she needs to be involved in everything that anybody does. My friend DR gave me a recommendation for a lyme treatment that is herbal based, so I'm going to look into that and see what I can learn...

Yes, he's trying, FEM. First is private pilot, then he can start working on the commercial level, and then he has to figure out how to find a job. FIRST step is to start with ground school, which he can do online, then take the written test from the FAA, and then he can start flying. I'm really...

Well, there went another week... Saturday the vet came out to do Storm's teeth, and to pull Lyme titers, and do a couple other things for RW's horses as well. So I spent all morning in the barn with them. I felt SO bad for the vet, Storm had clover slobber something AWFUL. So she got rained on...

We had a half busy weekend. Saturday we didn't do much, I just took care of my horse chores and not much else. I don't remember how we passed the day, but we did, LOL. We did end up playing pool for a while that evening after dinner, which was nice. It was nice to finish dinner at an hour that...

FEM, we're now in that boat (pardon the pun...). We had no rain for so long, and now it keeps raining. We had more rain overnight, but since I forgot to dump the gauge out, I have no idea how much we got. Chat with my boss went about the same as usual. We did get a bunch of open to do's checked...

Thanks, FEM, and yeah, that IS a long time! That is the wonderful thing about having a horse, you do get to be with them a long time in many cases. Whew, the tropical weather is here! It blew in some time last night, and has been bellowing all morning. I had a fun time splashing around in it...

Well, we got rain. We got about 2 3/8" in about 2 hours on Wednesday last week and then the humidity went through the roof. It's been really uncomfortable since then. Not fun. The temps have not been any less, either. The weekend was busy, Saturday we did quite a bit of cleaning up since we...

Yes, thanks FEM!! Last night I told the BF I had to go out and water, and he was like, do you just want to put the sprinkler on it?? I was like DUH. That's the benefit of having a 4x8 box, I guess, one sprinkler covers the whole thing. We left it on for about 30 minutes, I haven't looked today...

Finally sold my old black explorer this weekend! SO happy to have that gone! And the junk yard paid us $100 more than we expected, so I got a whopping $300 for it. It's not great, but I'm happy with it at this point. Also stopped by BJ's and the tire will be covered under the road hazard so I...

Thanks FEM! Ugh, @wyoDreamer you're not the first person that I have heard of that has said things like that. So many people have had to dismantle walls and all sorts of stuff to get fridges to fit. They're just making them so dang big these days! Yesterday was a great day, except for ending on...

Thanks yall. And yeah, FEM, you are right. All I can do is listen with compassion to how she feels, and then express with love my own boundaries. What she chooses to do with that information is on her, and I can not control or change her response. I am also unwilling to comprimise my own well...

Thanks, FEM! It went about as well as I expected. He did buy lunch, which was nice. We were late getting started, naturally, and he thankfully for me, blew off his appointment with the accountant to continue our meeting. I did start it out with a closed door and the conversation about...

Thanks yall!! And yes, @flowerbug I stay very well hydrated. I carry around a 24oz bottle with me that is the double walled stainless steel, and it gets filled multiple times a day, plus I keep a stock of Body Armor drinks in the house, and if I've been out working and sweating a lot I will...

@Britesea that would be SO much easier, and rather tempting... Thanks FEM Last night I told the BF the snarky person in me wants to reply to his mom's text or call when she finally reaches out with "Oh, NOW you decide to come to me about this after you've discussed it and gossiped and accused...

Yeah, @flowerbug it was pretty bad for a while. I guess my BF is immune to it after all these years?! Thanks FEM The new part for the truck got here yesterday afternoon so he hasn't had a chance to attempt to fix it yet, so we'll see how that goes this week. It's been SO HOT. And I've had so...
