Guilty pleasure
I feel almost guilty saying this, but my life is really working out for me, kinda suddenly too. About a month ago I met this guy (no not that kind of guy) named Pat, called Chef by his co-workers because he works in the kitchen at the Hyatt Hotel downtown. I first heard of him from my co-worker Jeane who knows him from working at Schatzlein. Jeane happened to mention where he worked and I knew that my godmother, Judith, also worked at the downtown Hyatt, so next time I saw Judith I asked if she knew him and sure enough, she did. So, she mentioned me to him and he mentioned that he had a horse who needed working. Next thing I know it, I'm in contact with him and then I meet him one day while working and one thing leads to another and now I've started riding his four-year-old Quarter Horse, Twister. Well, now I've only ridden her twice, but it's the fact that I CAN ride her that counts.
The last time I went out and rode Jeff, the person who owns the property where Pat and his wife, Kim, keep there horses, rode with me and was so impressed with my riding that not only did he tell Pat that I could come out and ride whenever, while before Pat had to be out there, I just have to make sure that Jeff or his wife are home. Also, I can ride his horses as well! So, if that wasn't enough good news, Jeff told Pat who passed the message to me that there is this family that lives across the street from him who have a daughter who likes to ride and her parents have been looking for someone to teach her riding lessons and Jeff wanted to know if I would be interested! I could get paid to teach lessons again! Plus, people pass on names so I might get other lesson gigs over the seasons which would be awesome because I charge $20/hour for the lessons!
So, now not only do I have my Spring job of getting paid to hang with my little foster brothers, the Cassutts, but I'm also working at Schatzlein on Saturdays and I might have this lesson gig too! I'm so happy right now and yet I feel almost guilty feeling this way because I have so many friends who are having problems with their lives right now. I guess the guilt isn't necessarily a bad thing. It'll keep me from bragging, which will in turn keep me humble and keeping me humble is always a good thing. Though, getting thrown off Twister after only the second time riding her did a pretty good job, still, in that sense. So, alls actually pretty well. : D I hope things start getting good for everyone else who surrounds me, including Crazy Tony who I met on the 21 bus today. *shivers* Maybe especially Crazy Tony. Poor guy. Any way, I'm rambling. Bye.
