(Untitled)
I put the saddle on Darcy for Erin when she came for our lesson on Thursday. She reached under his back and showed me how it would pinch as soon as he started carrying himself. I sent Paul to work with it the next morning so he could drop it back off for me -- my special buddy was there and I'm glad I didn't hold onto it and take it back myself.

Saddle Shopping
I'm saddle shopping. I love saddle shopping and I hate saddle shopping. On one hand I get a nice new saddle, on the other I get to go through the annoying process of digging through tack store inventory and test riding saddles I don't like.
Like the saddle I brought home today.

It's Official. Summer is over in Seattle.
Bumbershoot was this weekend but we didn't go. The past few days have looked like the apocalypse. Huge clouds pouring over the mountains with lightning (but no thunder -- that freaks the hell out of me) and windstorms.
Last night we ran out to the barn. Paul made up my grain and brushed and blanketed Traveler while I rode Darcy. When he was done ( Read more... ) -
Darcy's First Oxer
Dad came out to the barn with me yesterday to watch my jumping lesson on Darcy. He hadn't seen me ride Darcy in 4 years, even though they only live 40 minutes away. Riding Traveler is the exception, he's glad to come out and take pictures of his grandkids (my nephews) getting ponied around and I've been known to quickly jump on Traveler on those ( Read more... ) -
John's Lesson
John's lesson was yesterday morning at 11:30. He showed up to the barn at 8am. ... I think he might've been a little nervous :)

I ordered open front boots for Darcy that will match his new jumping saddle that I'm buying in the beginning of July. Paul's complaining that I'm spending too much money when we need to buy plane tickets for his family reunion ( Read more... ) -
Today is the last day of class.
I've been going through all my defense mechanisms recently. Denial that finals are coming up. Distortion -- my grades aren't my fault, it's my professors that are idiots. Fantasy -- maybe Paul will get a promotion and we'll have an infinite amount of money and I'll never have to even think about working again ( Read more... ) -
Drugs and Behavior
A terminal cancer patient is in severe pain. Morpheine and Codeine are not effective. What opiate would you try next and why?
I sat there for awhile staring at the question. ... What's more powerful that morpheine and codeine that I can give to a patient? This one last question left over from page one and I'm done. More powerful than mopheine ( Read more... ) -
It's Raining.
Some construction worker yelled at me for walking on the side of the road this morning on my way to the transit center, he told me I should have jay walked across the busy street and walked on the other side. I'd walked on that side a dozen times before. I don't see why he had to be such a jerk about it ( Read more... )
