Never EVER Get Involved in a Land War in Asia ...
... because it feels like that's what happened to me. I feel like the crap. I've been in bed all day. I only got up to check my email. I should be hearing something from Peace Corps soon ... but still no cigars. That just makes me want to go to bed even more.
Lesson last night was amazing. Topper did TWO (2) flying lead changes during the courses we were riding. They were so smooth that I didn't even notice them, and continued asking for a downward transition while Scott is screaming at me "he got the swap! keep going!" Who is this horse I have been riding? We're kicking some serious butt.
And speaking of kicking some serious butt: Scott wants us to go to one of the HJ Fox series shows at the beginning of March. It's gonna be expensive (but not as bad as if we went to an RMI at Chateau Elan) but I really really really want to go. I just need to find a ratchatcher and blazer and make sure that I can get the weekend off from Kristin at the other barn. Oh yeah, and I agreed to watch the neighbor's dogs that week, so I'll need someone (mom) to give the girls their shots while I'm gone. The show will require staying overnight in Conyers (Internation Horse Park ... what a venue!). I'll keep you posted. Let me know if you want to see me in a cool show, and I'll pass along the info and my class times. Wow. I have a month to be ready for this. Eeeek.
Okay, the returned throbbing in my head means it's time to go back to bed.
