107 degrees...no joke
And i'm not joking my fokes it's 107degress at some point my car even sad it was as hot as 112 degrees crazy right!!!! Hot as a mofo and well u say stay inside and i am but it won't even stay cool in here! And you maybe be asking "here?" where is she now is she finally all moved. And yes i am. And i'm so glad to finally be here and have the place comming together!
So wed. night i get home from the barn and my mom is like "Annie come here" so i go into the kitchen and my dad tells me my trailer has a flat! A FLAT i'm supposed to move my horse day after tommrow! He said he'd take it up to get fix tommrow well good thing we did. when i came up to get it my dad sugested maybe i use my uncle's truck (a F250 desiel, which we were already gonna borrow for the funiture) to pull the trailer. I said ok, and so wer hooked it up and then drove around well after we get back we see the trailer is smoking. SMOKING i'm supposed to move my horse tommrow at 4am! We take it to lester's and they conferm what we blelieve the brakes have locked up so finally after they work on it for around 2 hours they fix it! I was so happy i hugged the guy that was helping us!
I run home b/c i haven't finished packing yet. and i was packing my stuff and then the car till around 11:00 that night. I finally went to bed around 12:00am , I got back up at 2:45am. I got my last bag in the car and then the cats. I was late to the barn, didn't get there till 3:45am, got her legs wrapped and hay hung in the trailer and finally got her loaded at 4:45am! I was a bit mad at myself b/c i was late! I wanted to be gone by 4am but what can you do. Luckly it was a bit windy and since I was driving that sturdy strong F250, i was able to drive my normal pace most of the way, so we made up time!
Well i expected my cats to cry a bit but Simmon friggen freaked out, he was crying and clawing at the cage and just as we were upon Blanco I noticed he was breathing really hard i thought even hyper-ventiling. Well he was and by the time i got to marble falls i was so worried about him so i met my dad in Burnet and gave him simmon so he could find a vet to take him to once 8am rolled around (it was only like 6am). Well turns out he didn't have to take him to a vet he just kept his hand in the cage petting simmon and he was ok. Unfortunatily he had to do that for 250 miles!
Finally we made it to denton around 11:30am, i met my dad at a gas station gave him jezzebel and he went to the artment and i went to take shy to her new place. I got there left a message for the guy that owned the place, took shy out, took her leg wraps off and put her in the round pen. Finally I found her a bucket and filled it with water, she was surpisingly calm, well she was still nervous but i expected her to act more cooky then that. Finally after i'd been out in the heat for over 25 min he came out (he had been sleeping b/c they are riding at night or something). I wasn't to happy about that! We moved her to a turn out w/shade and a lots of water and contact w/other horses. My dad met me out there (after he unloaded his tuck) b/c i forgot my trailer keys and i had to get her feed out of there. I finally made myself leave so i could go check on my other babies!
I went straight to the bathroom where they were locked up and simmon was laying in the floor but i couldn't find Jezzebel, i called my dad in there and looked everywere just as my dad comes in the room i open the cabinet under the sink and there she is. There's no latches or anything so she can open them and she was hiding in there! It was so cute!! We finished unloading the stuff from the truck and then i couldnt' find Simmon finally as my dad went ouside to look for him i heard him in my room, but i couldn't find him, he was in the box spring of my bed (wich is sitting on the ground) but i hadn't noticed the hole in the side till then!
Finally our pizza arrived and we got to sit down and relax eat and cool off!
He helped me move the heveay stuff around and then he drove back.
The first few days I was unpacking box after box. Now the only boxes i have left are books and i have no book shelf to put them on. I'm also in search for a couch...i'm in love with one at Sofa Mart but i dont' knwo if i'll actually be getting it or not.
Well i'm about all typed out now! I'll talk to you all soon. Sorry if there are alot of typeOs i dont' feel like re reading it!
