Things at work and at home have gotten hectic. I’ve been spending time at the barn dealing with mares in heat (talk about a good name for a comic strip) and fixing up the house. My sister is coming to visit in a while and I have...
I took today off to take Ambush in to the vet’s. Excellent news! The vet was doing the happy dance. =) His glucose level remains within reasonable levels (189) even after one week of being off of insulin. She said to bring him back in for a...
Our performance is tonight at World Grotto! We’ve been practising for weeks. I hope it goes well! I’m also video taping everything. Should be fun =) Workshop with Moria beforehand, too. I’ll be sore and happy. Related Images:
I think my portable is dying a slow, painful death. It now randomly will not boot properly. Upon rebooting, it hangs just after the RAM check for about a minute. An error message appears stating that there is a hardware failure (PXE-E61 to be exact) and to...
Both of my horses have a chiropractor who sees them regularly. (Most of my friends think I’m a little nuts because my horses get better medical care than I do.) The doctor came out today and had some excellent news about Isis and Rajiyyah. Isis seems to...
My income tax refund came today. Woohoo! It was seven times more than I expected! My CPA said that was the correct amount. Can you say new roof?! Related Images:
This past weekend I drove to NC to visit my sister for her birthday. Whenever I travel, I have to put Ambush, the White Wonder Cat(tm), into the kennel so he can receive his insulin shots. After my last trip to Mom’s in late January, the vet...
February 17-26 I was sick with the same illness I had in December. Yet again. Not fun. This time I saw my doctor (instead of the nurse practitioner). She said I had an upper respiratory viral infection along with bronchitis and a secondary sinus infection. She basically ordered me...
Only Horse People: Believe in the 11th Commandment: Inside leg to outside rein. Know that all topical medications come in either indelible blue or neon yellow. Think nothing of eating a sandwich after mucking out stables. Know why a thermometer has a yard of yarn attached to...
Last August, I thought I was going to lose Isis. When she went in for colic surgery, quite a few of us at the barn thought she would never come home. She (thankfully) prooved us wrong. She showed how much strength she has. Coming home after a...
This is from a horse mailing list I’m on. Good chuckle. How many horses does it take to change a lightbulb? Thoroughbred: Who, ME?? Do WHAT? I’m scared of lightbulbs…I’m outta here! Arabian: I changed it an hour ago. Come on you guys, catch up! Quarter Horse:...
Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope everyone has a pleasant one. Related Images:
Good news! I talked with Mom briefly. She said Sahra and the foal are doing well. Sahra has to be kept quiet (no running around, only leading) for a few days, but she should be fine. Baby is strong and healthy. Mom said he’s Mr Personality. Related...
I was answering an email about Epona and a feast date on June 13th. This date seems a litle strange to me. I’ve heard of it before, but haven’t found any real supporting evidence. Many of the sites where this date is listed state that it is...
I called Mom tonight. She couldn’t talk at the time because she was trying to get Sahra’s (pronounced Sara) foal to nurse. She said he had a colt and then had to hang up. Sahra’s colt is a brother to my mare, Isis, and an uncle to...
