Dinge, dinge, dinge
Bullet points becasue if I don't write anything I'll get overwhelmed with being behind.
*We hooked Draego for the first time Monday. We warmed him up long lining before hooking to the sled and doing a couple laps. Then we hooked him up to the forecart. He was wiggly as all get out when we were hooking up, which was quite obnoxious and a little nerve-wracking, but he was fine and he drove better than he stood!
*Yesterday Chris pulled Zeke out and long lined him by himself while I went off to work with another client. Made me happy, super proud that he got motivation to work one of his own horses.
*Friday I had lunch with Muss. We went to Thai Chili To-Go, which is a "quick food" Thai food place. Not bad. My favorite is Thai Food Corner, which used to be D's Thai Food. The best. We hung out for almost two hours and had a grand time, talking about everything from writing and projects to family and current happenings. It's been two years since we hung out like that and it felt awesome. We're going to try and do it somewhat monthly.
*I'm working on setting my winter schedule. It's obnoxious and I'm trying to figure out where to put everyone, especially since I still have interest from new clients. I have some new ones starting up next week.
*Paris the Fjord is back in for some training. Hana wants to see if she will drive again so here we go! We're doing some bartering, trading her Ahonen cart for almost half the value of the training. It'll give me something that is actually Kitt-sized and a littler lower to the ground and easier to get in and out of.
*FFK is 191 pages, once I hit 200 I'll throw it at Muss and Hana again. DotF is 85 pages now, which is surprising and exciting. HotF is only like 20, but it could stand a decent outlining to really get it filled out. Sparks might even have more pages than HotF. I'm still feeling super productive writing-wise.
*Got my template finished for maping markings on Klamon half forms and Klamon hybrids. I've started on Sray's.
*There's tons of other things going on, Carlyn made me a condolense cheese cake. It was delicous and I think I have gained five pounds eating it. Lisa gave me a book about mourning the loss of a horse and a horseshoe with Kash's name on it. Brittany dropped off a sweet card and a big bag of horse treats. Thursday was the last really bad day, but I'm sure there will be others.
