Feels like I haven't been on here in forever!
I have my Advanced Massage course starting in 2 weeks!! I am super excited for it but (me being me) nervous too. Last course I took, one of my good friends took with me. These are extremely intense courses with a lot of work afterwards that is MUCH easier with the help of working with someone else - they even suggested making friends with someone in the class and working with them. So this time, she decided not to finish the equine massage route and is concentrating on 'barefoot trimming'. I am a shy person when if comes to not knowing people and hate having to pair up with strangers lol, so this could be interesting. It should be fun though, there is LOTS of freakin stuff to learn in a short period of time but I can't wait. I'm a littler nervous as I have sent my cheque and papers, but have not yet heard where the course is being held and it's in 2 WEEKS!!
On the plus side, I have been working with the other lady as much as my bank account will allow. I figure it's money well spent. She's going to be coming out with and working with me on Andy again so that I get hands on work (rather then always having to feel client horses while they are standing there).
On the horse front, I have been feeling pretty depressed. I have only ridden Andy twice since I've been back form Ontario. Things have been SO busy it's ridiculous!! I AM going after work today however. Nothing is going to stop me!! I have a new saddle I'm trying, hopefully that will help his back a bit. An old pony club instructor of mine is possibly going to come out to the barn and teach me. I'm praying to the riding gods that she does. Nicky has stopped teaching lessons at the barn and it has been impossible (since we're such a small, low key barn) to get any. Once I start getting back into it with Andy I'm sure I'll get out of my rut lol.
My cousin has a new boyfriend (met on line) and spends every weekend and spare minute with him in BC - yup he lives in the next province and she drives there on weekends (ok so it's only 3ish hours away, but through the mountains.... winter is here people!) Since she's gone, that means baby is gone, and strangely I miss him and want him (or just a baby) around..... Not thinking this is a good sign lol - although since my sister is proving to be taking her sweet ass time on the grandbaby front, I think my mom would be rather happy if I got on it - NOT that I'm ready to though (lets clear that up)
Stay Warm!!
