I'm beginning to think the fun never stops ( Read more... )

It's been busy, in case the lack of posting didn't give that away. I'm out of PT and mostly feeling better ( Read more... )

The PT moved my first rib. How? Well, he braced me, then shoved down through the trapezius, behind the collarbone, three times, until the rib was where it ought to be. I should mention it hurt like fuck. Then they electrocuted my hip, which was fine, and I even got a massage. But my shoulder still feels bruised on the inside (which it is ( Read more... )

I've mostly done small busy work the past few days just to keep from imploding in boredom. Some of us never grow out of experiencing instant boredom the moment we lack something to do. So I soaked and cleaned the balls of clay, then discarded the silt. I rearranged my desk and watched anime. I've done the state taxes, a chore since I can't save or ( Read more... )

I went out to Blue Knob in PA for some skiing yesterday. I was pretty decent, considering the warm temperatures. Toward the end of the day, the loose stuff was swept away revealing the ice sheets underneath and I quit trying to deal with that mess. I also managed to fall ( Read more... )

I'd stayed up late working on a website, so I woke up late around 9am with Snowflake purring furiously upon my shoulder. The first order of business was purging my computer of a trojan that had snuck on somehow. Meanwhile, I had breakfast while Keith took down our tree. Finally, I went to the stable ( Read more... )

Work has been absolute chaos. This new postmaster can't organize or delegate for shit. Every day she's trying to reinvent the wheel when all of us have delivered more Christmas seasons than her. It's just stupid. Of course, half of it has to do with lacking clerks to sort out the mail to us in time. The three we have go as fast as they can, but ( Read more... )

The past month, in summary: I've kept volunteering at the stable, I keep riding better, I keep doing aikido, I went on vacation in NH and rode horses there, bought maple syrup and helped organize a local union meeting at the post office. There are more detailed back-posts for anyone curious ( Read more... )

Got up fairly early and went to stable. It rained all day. I helped muck out stalls, load and unload feed, bring horses in and out and feed them. It was work, but restful. After that, I went home, swinging by the office to pick up one of the new parking passes. Then Keith and I got something to eat and went shopping at Burlington. We both found two ( Read more... )

Overslept on purpose and got up at 9:30am. Had a nice, solid breakfast, then read for a bit. S had picked out her favorite gloves so I picked those up from the farm store on the way up to the stable. I got there at 1:10pm and apparently the owner had picked up on my tendency to arrive a half hour early because both horses were tacked and ready to ( Read more... )
