aua . . . back . . . evil
Oct. 20th, 2003 08:50 pmHave some sort of cyst-y zit on my back, gwark, so annoying, hurts (Mom attacked it) and reminds me of when I had those stitches from having a mole removed except more piercingly evil.
Nikki nearly pitched me today. My body was at least a foot out of the saddle and I'm surprised I managed to regain my seat. I'm afraid I may have pulled back a bit hard on Nik's mouth as I belive I used my grip on the reins to reseat myself. I'd say I was sorry, but she's the one that decided she'd shy in the CANTER and lunge left without warning. Eventually got her to stop shying at the sound of the pool pump (it was in one of Judy's neighbor's backyard, you could hear it, but not see it) and then did the same going the other direction.
The good news is I finally got Glory back in the trailer! HURRA! Took her in some five or six times and even managed to avoid outright bribery (though there was some hay up in the front and a bit sprinkled about). Thanks
demoncougar for the suggestions (although I didn't use 'em this time it's always nice to have some logged away for another situation). Basically all last week I went back to groundwork with Glory and had her go through ALL of the gates repetatively and had a little set up with the barrels and some poles in the arena that I walked her through a few times. I'm glad to actually have her back in the trailer again, not only can I now work with her in the saddle again, but, hopefully, I'll be able to take her out on Friday with Mom, hurra! Need to ask Cody if he wants to join us and see if Judy says it's okay. Hmm, baptisms at 2.30 on Friday, we'll see if I can make it, hope so.
Erm, I want to say that there was other important stuff that happened today, but I can't quite think of any.
Well there is the little side notes that I have an art trade in the works (after several long months of art trade famine), decided that my hatred for flies is really just EXTREME annoyance, finished editing some stuff, and that my Psyc teacher does the same thing I do. Which is: reading or doing other things and flipping it into German thought. He's from Hamburg, Germany, it amuses me. This means that I'm not alone in my oddity of playing things over in my mind and flipping them back and forth between languages, hurra! Still can't believe I managed to get a song stuck in my head that was originally in english, but the words, sung in German, were the ones that were playing in my head (with the music and everything).
Must study math *twitch, hate.*
