I suppose it's time for my annual journal entry. I've been working at a horse farm (Longbranch) for almost 6 months now, and for the most part, I really enjoy it. Kindof a long drive, and that makes it hard, because after you take out the partial lease on Linus (appaloosa/saddlebred...fatty) and the $100/month I owe Laura (owner) for denting her ( Read more... )

Took my first ride in traffic Saturday. It was awesome. Need to remember to charge battery first to avoid stalling in Harris Teeter parking lot in future.

It's too hot in North Carolina, they're predicting high 90s for the rest of the week, and I'm reluctant to put on long pants and leather in order to ride around. Won't stop me for long.

Well, I was only able to work with Dr. Bush (vet home svc.) for about a month. When his full timer came back from her studies in... Nepal? I don't know...he no longer had need of me. I was actually kind of depressed about it. It was a fun job, and Dr. Bush was easy going and nice to work with. Honestly, there's a lot he can do on his own, and his ( Read more... )

I got bitten by another spider. I have a large dripping welt on the back of my leg. It is getting better (hence the dripping) but I can still rightfully complain, I think. Ivan is rather a sleepy guy. He is doing that now, underneath Malachi, I suspect. Let me check. Hehe they're lying next to each other, both on their right sides. What a (cute) ( Read more... )

I'm out of school now, hooray. I will be going back in the fall, hopefully to take a full schedule of classes, while working one less job and fewer hours at the job I intend to keep. I will be getting 4 new tires tomorrow, hooray. Also, my birthday is in 6 days, and I shall be 23. I tried but I don't think there's anything particularly special ( Read more... )

i've got too much to do to be doing this right now. but as i'm going to do it anyway, i might as well shut up about it. its spring break in wake county, and that means....you guessed it, 50 dogs in the kennel! gaaahh. it is overwhelming. at least when i get home i have.....thats right, another job to go to! aaaarrrg! hopefully after this week my ( Read more... )

no longer working at pizzamerica, now doing delivery at 888 chinese restaurant. (request no msg). doing this because they will let me only work 3 nights a week and not keep me past 9:30. gets a little hectic, so boss gets stressed out, and yells a lot. luckily for me, i'm driving most of the time so am not in there a lot. still working in kennel at ( Read more... )

ok, so its been 2 full months. finals are here. hooray. malachi is bigger and tacklier than ever before, but he needs to tone it down on the enthusiasm a bit, especially at the dog park, where he has now picked fights with 3 dogs. it starts as playing, but i think when his adrenaline kicks in he just goes nuts. maybe he just needs to learn to reign ( Read more... )

oh my. i just realized that since ivan and i have been going out i've only mentioned him once in my journal, and that was only in passing. well, you guys "all" already know about him, but i might as well write it down so that its not forgotten. ivan is a wonderful guy. he's got beautiful dark hair and eyes, and a big smile. he was born in peurto ( Read more... )
