There are a lot of easy jobs out there. Jobs that would have me quietly working from 9-5, indoors, making around $37,000 a year. Jobs that I could get. These past few months since leaving Bruce's farm, I've worked at a hotel which, while not a 9-5 job, has lulled me into a sense of complacency at work. Sure the boss can be a handful, and I sure ( Read more... )

Life in Cochranville has been complicated lately. There was a falling out with Bruce which resulted in me leaving the farm and never going back. I miss the horses, and I miss Becky. I miss Pierrot Lunaire and his goofy monkey-see-monkey-do attitude. I miss his beautiful gaits and quiet demeanor which belies all the talent hidden in that big heart ( Read more... )

James and I just returned home this afternoon from a little trip down to NC. My dad turned 60 on Saturday and had his party on Sunday. We drove down as soon as we could after I got off work on Saturday evening and got in to the folk's place at 1AM, Kayla curled up between us on the truck's bench seat ( Read more... )

I struggled to fall asleep last night. Not having James around kind of puts me on edge and it's hard for me to settle in to bed. I ended up watching The Duchess on TV, then starting Rain Man with no real intention of watching it as by that time I was pretty ready to fall asleep. I turned the sleep setting on the TV to an unnecessary 2 hours and ( Read more... )

Living in Cochranville, Pennsylvania has definitely been a relaxing change of pace. I'm truly glad James and I decided on renting a house rather than an apartment, though truthfully there were no apartments to be had in Cochranville, population 5000. The house is undoubtedly more expensive, but allows me to be only 5 minutes from work and to keep ( Read more... )

I did some rummaging in some semi-unpacked boxes recently and stumbled upon my celtic dragon tarot deck. I spent some time skimming over them and enjoying the art and tonight I decided to do a reading or two for myself to try and sort through some chaotic thoughts of mine ( Read more... )

I've come to realize that I miss writing in here. Not that that is an indication that I will do so with any frequency anymore, but I do miss it ( Read more... )

So I've been in Kentucky for a month now and it's pretty much amazing. From someone who has worked on over 10 farms in 7 years on 4 continents, I've been told that Juddmonte Farms is the absolute best private breeding and training facility there is, and I've been given no reason to disbelieve that. Especially after hearing tales from other KEMI ( Read more... )

I've been working too much and I'm tired and that's okay. I like my job, I love my boss and her little girl who calls me Ronnie or Monnie or Donnie, or even occasionally Bonnie when her B's work out for her. I took her riding on her pony the other day and apparently that makes me the coolest person in the world (and she calls my pup Ayla ( Read more... )

I haven't posted in forever, not that it really matters that much. Life has been fairly good. James and I are doing well. School is almost over, graduating in a couple weeks. All things considered things haven't been too bad ( Read more... )
