I got up early this morning (relatively speaking) and went to see Sharif. Despite the fact that it was still morning, it was still hotter than Satan's asscrack out there and I was worried that I would spontaneously combust. I rode anyway, though, because I haven't in a long time and I was jonesin'. I rode bareback, because it was way too hot and humid to bother with a saddle. Didn't do more than walk and trot for about fifteen minutes, but it was still fun and Sharif was a total angel. A filthy angel, but an angel nonetheless. Afterwards I hosed him down and quickly cleaned everything up and put him back in the pasture, because while I love spending time with him, it was too hot to function and I was anxious to cool off in the pool. Anyway.
It was fun riding again, and I'm glad I got to spend time with Sharif and take my mind off of things, but I think I'm done for the day. Time for a nap.
