It is freezing outside! I like winter, but without windchill factors. No wind with my cold, please. It was flurrying at the barn this morning. At first I thought it was little bits of sawdust, but then I emptied my wheelbarrow and it was still there. At least all the animals are happy and (generally speaking) healthy. Speaking of healthy, I'm ( Read more... )

Just extremely busy. Two jobs takes a lot out of a person, even if I love them both. I'm definitely working full-time if I combine hours from both jobs, and while it's a lot easier to wake up early when you do it every day, I'm still mostly interested in food and bed when I get home. Definitely not spending as much time on entertainment, including ( Read more... )

Okay guys, latest self-educational voyage is going public. The subject: the Empress consort of Austria, Elisabeth. Now here was a woman ahead of her times, who definitely didn't fit the mold at all. Her non-conformist ideas (like women doing horseback riding and gymnastics and generally not sitting back and being baby-factories) lead her to lead a ( Read more... )

So, waking up before the sun rises also means it is freezing out! I unpacked my underarmor pants, I was so cold the other day at the barn. But there are perks, like seeing the sun rise over frosty fields, the horses playing, if you're lucky the two red-tail hawks will be out flying around. It's really quiet and pretty. The only bad thing is it's so ( Read more... )

From my ghostly VDex poke!

... this actually freaked me out. I just refresh the page and boom! The scary GHOST from Lavender Town with the creepy music and all the creepypasta stories and the fact that I used to play the game at night when it was dark and spooky... gave me a jolt!

Time is flying! Since I started working at the barn in addition to the vet hospital, I have less time to be sluggish and lazy. That's probably a good thing. Plus, exercise and time outside, which are both good and healthy. And I enjoy it, and that's most important ( Read more... )

I found another pokemon thingie to take up my free time. Not that I'm short on games, I'm actually re-playing FireRed right now. My team is so weak to electricity, it's sad. I might just leave it though, not many electric types anyways ( Read more... )

So, day off. No work to do except clean the bird cage. And what happens? (don't read any more if you're squeamish ( Read more... )

Yes, my bird is amazingly technologically-savvy and watches YouTube. Seriously, I've tried most parrot videos on YouTube and he seems to realize that it's a 2-dimensional image and not really there. But this one, he is enthralled! Go figure, it's a bird who looks exactly like him, after all. I would try to get more pictures and video, but Calvin, ( Read more... )

So in the cooler temperatures I become less of a bum and more productive. Translation: this weekend I picked my knitting back up. And promptly realized that I need new needles and yarn and patterns. So I kind of went overboard, like usual, signed up at ravelry.com for the fun of it, found some nice easy (for someone who knows how to knit) patterns ( Read more... )
