alas, and a lack.
I've been crazy busy and crazy-not-sleeping thanks to my hip, so I haven't really been updating. Let's fix that with some bullet points and a picture, shall we?
a friend of mine is putting her TB gelding down due to out-of-control eye cancer... I went this weekend to take pictures of them so that she could have something to remember him by. This one still makes me teary eyed.
1) I seem to have torn my hip flexor. It's awesome sucky ... well, painful but fine. After three weeks of it really bothering me (to the tune of not sleeping at night), I finally went to have it looked at. I'm supposed to not ride for a few weeks, but I barebacked Mac at a walk, and called it good yesterday. He's whithery enough to keep me from doing anything except walk bareback. =)
2) weather is crazy warm here in Colorado. And dry. Not so Christmassy with my mood this year, despite straight Christmas carols at work this week. I think if my checkbook would quit hemmoraging, I'd be a little more cheery too. Between Christmas presents, the vet bills, the medicine for Mac's ulcers that ran out, the car insurance, and oh yeah, my THERAPY for my HIP (who saw that coming?) I'm a little...uhhh, poor. In fact, $100 went onto my credit card to wait until pay day. I feel horrible. I haven't used one in 3 years. I guess it's only for a week. But still. Yuck.
3) I've been swamped at work. Permit set due, and someone from the board of Habitat for Humanity here wants me to look at being on the board because they want an architect/photographer for all their promotional stuff to be on the board. Where would that time come from? NO CLUE. Am I interested? Yes. Does this make me certifiable? Yes and yes. I told them I wouldn't accept wihtout knowing what was expected and the like. If it's a few meetings a year, and showing up to take pictures of humanitarian architecture? Count me in.
4)I have such a huge to-do list for myself.. scrapbook updating, christmas cards to write/mail, wedding gifts to buy/send, photography stuff to get out. Mkaes me wish a little that I could work part time architect, part time photographer... except for the whole money thing. And uh, the not being licensed thing. Maybe someday. I need to start planning a date night for Kent and I. We're both so busy, I really feel like we need to spend more deliberate time together.
I think that's it for right now... I'll post more later if I feel like it!
