Still Alive (Barely)

My life has basically been a demonstration of how not to try to move.  First up, my house sold more quickly than I really wanted (not really a bad thing but it was inconvenient).  That meant I had to find temporary housing for the last couple of months before I actually move.  Next up, my bosses decided that I needed to go do a training course in California for a week.  Third, I decided I need to go look at a place which meant I was out of town for another three days.  Finally, when I did get back home the week before I had to be out of my house I got super sick.

Exploding kitchen

Like I didn't leave my house for four days and could barely walk sick.  Which led to trying to pack everything in about two days while still sick enough my bosses didn't want me anywhere near work.  And to make things even more fun, I had to talk on the phone and everyone thought that they needed to tell me I sounded horrible.  Yes I realize that, but I can't delay making these phone calls anymore.

Finally packed

But I managed to get out of my house and into my temporary housing and actually saw my horse.  I haven't ridden yet.  I was going to, but I rode him bareback from his pasture to the barn and was exhausted and decided actually trying to ride was probably a horrible idea.  Thankfully S has been riding him, so he hasn't had three weeks off.  She has reported that he has been good for her.

He wouldn't cooperate for the cute picture

He also got moved into a new pasture and so far has only had a couple bite marks and one kick (none of which are serious), so I am keeping my fingers crossed that he will continue to behave and not cause any trouble.  Stinker has zero social skills and just wants to play all the time.  Of course his idea of playing is chewing on his "buddies" so it isn't well received.  I am excited to get back to riding this week and my favorite dressage judge is in town this weekend, so hopefully we will be able to have a good lesson.
