Life is ... well, it is
I would be happier if my computer would behave, but computers will be computers, right?
I have not had one lesson during my scheduled lesson time this month. Today got rained out. Last Wednesday got rained out. The Wednesday prior to that I couldn't see. The first Wednesday this month Scott had camp (but I got to ride Reggie anyway). Last night was a good lesson, and because I was feeling froggish I rode Topper bareback down to his paddock. Have to say, he's the most comfortable bareback ride I've ever had. And he looks pretty darn sexy in his breastplate.
When I initially saw the 8 hours I had been scheduled at work this week I freaked out. But not so much anymore. I managed to pick up a 6 hour shift on Friday, which turned into an 11 hour shift when the GM decided that I could do Pajamamania (all by myself, too!). And one of the other guys on inventory has been out sick this week, so I got asked to cover his shift tomorrow morning. I'm going to hate waking up at 5.30 in the morning again. Next week I have more (like it's hard to have more than 8) hours on the schedule. So maybe I don't need to feel completely foolish for convincing myself not to stress about everything.
In amazing news: Mom just bought a new laptop, which means I get to inherit her old one to take to Azerbaijan with me. Everyone in country says they're really helpful to have. I wasn't going to go out and buy a new one (the one I used in college quit on me after graduation, although I'm still waiting for an open slot on Antiques Roadshow for it) but I feel better about taking a computer with me.
Even more amazing news: I wore a pair of pants today that I haven't in a while, and they were falling off my butt all day because I'm losing more weight. Yay. I should maybe do situps or something. Or maybe not.
And that's that. I'm looking forward to more fun-filled days ahead ... especially at the KENTUCKY DERBY!
Cheers, everyone!
