Raining so no riding, but I showed up anyway. Helped with feeding, learned how to treat an abscess, how to dress a lame leg, how to dress an abscessed hoof and fed horses again in the afternoon. In between, we had lunch at Golden Corral. Amusingly, the stable owner is very keen on farmer's cheese pierogi. Went to Sam's before heading home to spend ( Read more... )

Yesterday was perfectly boring except for the part when I went back to the dojo for the first time in three weeks. It was kinda rough. Today was strange because I kept sleeping. Nevertheless, I managed to make a coolwhip cheesecake, brownies, bread, do some laundry and go to class ( Read more... )

Sunday:I went to class in the morning, which went well except we were doing a technique I can barely do. It's like I have two left feet and two left arms. Sad. Then I hustled back home to clean up because Keith and I were going to spend the afternoon in DC ( Read more... )

Tuesday:

I don't actually remember Tuesday beyond the ten hours of work.

Wednesday:Was my day off and I used it productively. First, I used part of my annual uniform allotment to add to my work wardrobe. After lounging around and having breakfast, I went out for some retail therapy. I price-checked some headlight bulbs and it looks like they're ( Read more... )

Thursday:Despite the relentless rain, the day went relatively smoothly. In the sense that my tires kept slipping and skidding on the wet leaves. I'm sure the truck made horrible "reckless" noises while holding still on numerous occasions. I ran over due to an express mail that was given to me at the last minute, but then I got stuck at the final ( Read more... )

I was going to get my lab work over with asap, but got sick instead. This being sick thing is really getting old. Finally, I was able to get my bloodwork done and went over to the other lab to schedule an ultrasound. Well, my timing was fortunate and they simply hustled me back to get goopy. I got to see my kidneys and spleen, though I missed the ( Read more... )

I was up early to muster for the parade. Keith arrived from the airport but had trouble finding my car and stood in the wrong line for his badge, so he wound up watching instead of marching. I gotta say, it was awesome. I met up with Keith afterward, he got into costume, and we went to check out the walk of fame. He spotted Claudia Christian and ( Read more... )

It turns out you can't make waffle cones with a belgian waffle iron, but you will get really yummy waffles that require no extra topping. I tried to find the iron, or a pizzelle, in a store but couldn't but then, I don't feel like spending money right now anyhow. I'm drying out the waffles to see if they'll get crunchy.

Gah. Eye-bleeding green ( Read more... )
