(no subject)
I am so proud of myself. While Chris was sleeping (til after noon) I stretched, and then went downstairs and did my upper body workout until my muscles started failing. I didn't want to drop a big scary weight on top of my head, and my left arm was shaking big shakes really badly... So I opted to stop.. My arms are already really tired, so I think I had a good work out. It's so cold in there it's hard to work up a sweat though... Lol... Guess I stay cleaner that way.
Last night I went and helped Martha give Flower and Copper baths. They had a whole bunch of bot eggs and scabby skin from being out in that pasture all week. We used some color enhancing shampoo and cleaned them up real well. I cleaned poor Flower's white face all up with some blueing shampoo as well. It was sunburned and covered in dirt. It's all white and bright and shiny now. I wasn't able to get all the scabbies off though. Maybe we'll give them more baths today or something since they were in such bad shape yesterday. After the baths we went over to Cindy's barn to pick up a little pony that they found before the hurricane and rescued. We had to move it to her vet clinic so that it could get immunizations and its coggins drawn. By inspecting it we figured out that it's probably fairly young... It had some loose baby teeth, the teeth looked fairly young (teeth are how you can judge a horse's age) as well I noticed before those checks that the pony looked a little higher in the back end (which is usually an indication that they are still growing because they grow butt first). So then we came back and I helped her muck stalls. Today I'm going to go help her clean up brush around the property some more.
As for now I need a healthy lunch and to get going.
