Two more losses

Bets CD (CD Olena x Bet Your Blue Boons) passed away this week, where he was mid-breeding season at Joe Landers. I do not know what happened to him yet, but what a shame that such a young upcoming sire would be cut short like that. He was on my short list of horses to breed to, and I assumed I had plenty of time to get to him since he was only 11. Guess not.

The second loss is not quite so earth shattering. I lost 2 more pounds this week. My goal was five but both the Beast and I knew that was too much to expect. I was decently behaved, did 3 days of cardio (barely hitting my minimum for minutes though so I have a good hour left to do tomorrow or Sunday), and had one workout with him today. That brings my current loss total to 34 pounds this round, and 44 since my fattest. For some reason, I have to throw that in as it makes me feel like I have done more, when really I had nothing to do with the loss of the first 10. But whatever.

And sort of loss-related--Barry is talking with a company about a potential job. We do not have enough details to know if it will be a go, but they seem to really want him, which is a huge ego boost. We are going to get through this. Meanwhile, he is really helping me--doing stuff I would normally do because he is always out of town. He took Gypsy to the vet for her breeding today--and things went well with that. We thought we had baby poops-a lot under control, but she is at it again. She went with her mama to the vet when she would normally stay home, because I did not want her to stress and get set off again. She was dry before she went, but at the 1 pm treatment, she had the bad tummy again. It has kept it up ever since...Why she still feels so good I have no idea, you would think this would be taking a toll by now. She is feeling good though, and I so wish I had my camera this morning when she loaded her little oompa loompa butt in the trailer for the first time. That always cracks me up!

That is all I have today except, Happy Birthday Lorna!
