Getting it back together

Ok, enough self-indulgence that I have been blaming on vacation recovery. I am back on the self-improvement wagon as of today. I tried to be on it yesterday but I had a horrible day, a horrible headache and then I ate everything in the house thinking it would make me feel better ( I am nothing if not self aware), but all it did was make me sick. So it is a new day.

First, order of business is that I am going to water aerobics after work. I could not find my regular suit so I had to grab one I have never worn, and it has a scoop back. This means it will fall off my shoulders and my boobs will get out. I grabbed a tank to wear over it, but this is not a long term solution.

Second order of business is that I will have to get my hair dry and then go ride Slygirl. We had the most successful ride ever for us last nite--we stayed home and worked in the small round pen, and I think that is what we need to do this week. We will step it up to the sorting pens which are larger, this weekend. She is being SO GOOD. She has the sweetest personality, I really enjoy it. That and how correct she is in most of her maneuvers, I feel like I am learning more than she is--it is fun. Most of my photos from Saturday turned out crappy because I used the wrong setting on the camera, but I like this one and Ash taking Slygirl back in the barn.

I have a few other things to knock out this week--a meeting at SIU Thursday afternoon, pickup of Square Baby to go to Houston but I already have her all in order for that, then Rock and Squeak are finally getting their eyeball injections.

The big news is that Radar is coming back! I am thrilled--First he was too short, then he pulled his hay out of his hay feeder and evidently this is unacceptable to the new owners. Well maybe not unacceptable but they did not like it. Good for me, I love him and he can put his hay where ever he wants to at my house. I offered to take him back, as the only way I could be content was knowing he was in a great place that really wanted him--if he is not, I want him back here where he is really wanted. We are going to have a great spring. The best part was that it was Barry's idea to bring him home--and he was the one that pushed the sell sell sell mentality so hard int eh first place. I think he knew how miserable I was to find out the new owners were not over the moon about him.

The other big news of the week is that this weekend is Road to the Horse is this weekend, I am going with Jackie. We went last year and had lots of fun, so I am sure we will this time too.

Let's hope I can get through this week in a more successful fashion that it started out
