So today, I learned some things. I learned that my sartorius muscle in my left leg probably has tendonitis. That's self diagnosed of course but I'm trying to find a PT at school who can confirm that or tell me what else it could be. For those of you that don't ride, this is a rather unfortunate issue because it boils down to limited rotation if my left leg at the hip joint which messes up a lot of things. Not to mention the fact that it's a sharp kind of pain, the kind that makes you inhale quickly and wince. I'm noticing it a lot now that I've been practicing mah dressage skills. The way you sit is just a little wider and more relaxed, but I'm having trouble relaxing because I'm anticipating pain. Fuck my strange issues.
I also learned that trying to learn a second discipline has a nasty way of making you feel like an incompetent beginner. It's similar to Hunter/Jumper but again completely different. I'm having trouble with keeping my hands elevated and stretching down with my leg (again fuck you sartorius). I think I'll get it. I hope. The Dressage coach Ali says not to worry, everything is there we just have to finesse it. I sure hope so because OHMYGOD I'M GOING TO SHOW AT ROCKING HORSE. For those of you who don't know, I have an obsession with eventing and I want to get into it (hence the dressage) and rocking horse is a facility that holds all these trials and they have a huge cross country course. I will die. We pass it every year while we are in Ocala and I literally stare at it (even while driving lol). Much excitement. :D
PS. Stillwater's new barn is AWESOME and I love them. He's already gaining weight and he gets to sleep outside at night. His coat is better and he's regrowing hair on all his boo boo's that were impossible to avoid with him outside all the time. And he has a buddy named Daybreak and they SHARE the hay together <3 Awwh. Even with two piles they move from one to the other together. I have to take some pictures, maybe tomorrow.
On a bummer note, I wanted to go home this weekend to give Marly her birthday present and go to a concert I was invited to. I couldn't go though. Too much school work and my poor cat doesn't have enough teeth to eat dry food and my room mate can't feed him wet food (vegetarian/religious reasons) so I can't just leave him. Poor booger. So alas, I don't get to go. One of the trade offs of having my cats with me but I love them to death so what can I do.
I'm almost done with the X-files! I rented True Blood since everyone won't shut up about it. :P Anyone on my flist watch/read?
