zoooooooooooooomy time

I rode Joy last night, took her out for a good fast ride.She is such a firecracker, like she gets her canter button stuck and is like "this is so much fun! can never stop! wheeeeeeeeee! stop leaning back and pulling on my mouth or I will buck! wheeeeeeeeeeee! I like zoomy time!"

in between the excited zooming we worked on walking instead of jigging when excited and stopping. She is listening nicely but I would like to see her relaxing her neck more, she get such a giraffe neck when excited. So definitely lots of ring work to continue correctly muscling is in the plan.

In other horsey news, I chopped all Baby Horses mane off, She had a bad burr problem and it made me sad. I am struggling with energy issues lately and every time I looked at her mane I had to go take a nap so instead of spending a million years detangling I figured she wasn't going anywhere anyway so I roached it, looks very sporty if I do say so myself.

Poppy (red mare) is gaining weight nicely, I have her on Triple crown Growth and some vitamins (since she is getting less then 5# a day) I need to put her on a hoof supplement since her feet still look like poo but I guess less like poo then they used to, I did put her on some extra copper since she was thrushy during the drought we had this summer. I have been ground driving her and hope to get on her a couple times this fall, she is fairly calm and really sweet. Ground driving is so great for teaching a nice whoa and turning.

Chicken people suck, so far I have sold one chicken to a really strange lady with the most annoying children in the world. I have had a couple calls from really excited people who fail to show up, I think chicken people might be flakier then horse people which is hard to believe, and scary.

Off to deal with clothes mountain and try not to take a nap
xo

water everywhere and not a drop to drink.

It's amazing how much you want to take a shower when you can't. Big storm last night some how knocked out our well, so no water :(  I actually don't know where the well is or exactly how it works, a little naive perhaps but I really thought the running water was magic and just  kind of happened.

So waiting for the well guy to come fix it, luckily last night I filled the horses tub and buckets for the chickens and bunnies so I am not freaking out yet. Going outside to deburr ponehs and hopefully take Joy out for a little ride, she is getting fat.

in which computers suck and I whine

Empty house today, I celebrated by reading trashy novels, surfing the internet in my jammies and not feeding critters until noon. The only useful thing I have done today is shower and that was due to extreme stinkyness. For breakfast I ate two bowls of captain crunch and drank coffee, I felt weird so I ate the left over (from like Friday) Chinese food and some "buttered" "toast". Now I need more coffee becauseI feel icky.
 
I was highly considering going to the mall to buy slutty underwear but then realized the mall is full of people, and buying things and spending money. All things I don't like (except for the getting new things, I like that, have you seen my huge book/shoe/yarn/clothing/glitter collections?)

I tried to order candle stuff yesterday and after huge deliberations (over an hour!) over what to get I finally ordered and the fucking virus population on the computer freaked out and wouldn't let me, they don't want me to be happy. So off to the library again to try and order stuff but now I am all second guessy like what do I know about candle making, I feel like I am just gonna order a bunch of supplies and then ruin them. I hate hate hate that our computer is fucked, I really am a fan of ordering stuff online and always feel rushed when I can't do it from home, that's the whole point.

Burdock needs to be cut out of the paddock before it releases all it's nasty little seeds everywhere, Baby is already sporting a very cutting edge Burrhawk. Poppy is still not gaining weight like I want so I need to pick up a couple bags of grain for her, Probably triple crown. I think once she is worked more she will have better muscling, she is not super thin but I'm not happy with how she looks.

Date night tonight, making steak and have a ginourmous bottle of wine, we have kicked everyone else out of the house. Should be nice but I really should head out and get my stuff done.
