I am 20, which is exciting. I did get a new, very nice helmet that fits really well ( no headaches perhaps?!?! ) and I can show in, I think. ( Yes! ) Anyway, Danny and I also went out to Olive Garden on Saturday, my b'day, so that was great. Good Italian food, wines, etc. :D Love it.
I am currently doing the barn while Di & Brad are in England, so that keeps me busy, but I love doing the barn totally. A boarder Shannon does the morning feeds and bringing the horses in, then I head out there through the day and evening. It's so nice to have someone else there as well to help out if I need it and also to do the mornings, seeing as how she lives just a few minutes away, it saves me a lot of time and gas in the early hours. I am also able to ride the horses in HH I do before heading to the barn on those scheduled days, so that is worth it all as well. (Also gives me a little time in the morning to try to work a little, just a bit, at the house). The horses are all doing well, I love riding them all. *knock on wood*
Danny is working 7 days a week, which is great for his paycheck, but hard on him, physically, and me, more mentally, but, we can handle it. It just wears you down sometimes, and we are not around each other as much to pick each other back up as often as it sometimes needs to happen..
Danny's back is getting worse, I think, or perhaps just not getting any better, and although he has no excuse but his own time now, he has not used the gift certificate I got him to see the chiro. yet, which I do understand, do not get me wrong, he works so freakin' hard and just does not have the time to break for a day and get it done. I totally understand that. So, it will come, but I worry about if he is waiting too long......he jokes about falling apart! I have really learned to be sure to 'take time for yourself', just a little, every now and then, and to have a resting time, where you can do that. Otherwise, how can you do 'your best' if you are not taking care of yourself???? I really see that and can feel it when I do not. So, I do worry b/c he does not do that, and he does burn himself out, more physically now that he is doing something he loves doing, but still. I am a perpetual worrier, so that has been on the mind lately.
My USC and online classes are being scheduled. Once Brad & Di are back, next week, I am going to take a day off and get all of that finished. I have some paperwork to take to another office for my online classes and Sumter classes, as well as figure out a payment for the online, and to fax some tax forms in for proof I am a SC resident! (pwsah! ). Also, getting my financial aid organized at that office to figure out what I am doing with that, and I think I also have some fees I have to pay from last semester.
SO, today, this morning rather, I was taking, seeing as how I do not have to ride at the barn this morning ( doubled up yesterday ), the morning to try to get some stuff that has been abadoned at the house ( cleaning, cleaning,..........and more cleaning ) done and try to get some inside work done here before going to the barn later today to do horses and get some work done there. Perhaps tonight, if we are not too burned out, D and I can work outside. It would be such a weight off our shoulders to get everything cleaned and neat looking both inside and outside the house. So, that is my goal, as well as everything else I have to do today. Not to get it all totally done, but to get a big dent in it. I can do it! ;)
