down
No major reason, just down–hormones, whatever. Our rain ended yesterday around noon; we got about 2 inches total and we are still off where we should be by 14 inches.
Went to the stable about an hour away yesterday am where my daughter is going to help train the 3 yr. old horse. The owner (a woman in the military) is going home to Tn. for Christmas and says A. can do what she wants with Gracie (the horse). So…..I suspect a lot of break will be spent over there. Yesterday was major grooming; no riding with the rain. Later I took A. to the annual Yule Log Lighting at one of the historic houses as she always leads the Yule Procession playing her recorder. She did a good job. It’s usually the last Sun. before Christmas and after dark but this was the only time the mayor could come and it’s sort of a political thing too with officials of all kinds. Nice gingerbread cookies and hot cider. Yes, I did. Their fault; didn’t serve any carrots or celery sticks.
The sun is out bright today but it’s cold and windy. I tried the gym one day last week (Mon.) and had difficulty talking while on the treadmill even at a lower speed, haven’t been back since, still a wee bit congested and coughing some. I haven’t done any cards or gifts in the mail yet; running out of time and just kind of lethargic about it all. Never been so far behind. Blah, blah, blah…….
So far today I’ve had oatmeal, cherries, and rest of leftover tuna noodle casserole.
Need to get gift (specialty coffee) and card ready for A’s violin instructor for tonight; he’s such a sweetheart. Have old bananas; should make banana bread.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda—blech!!!!! I’m tired, just bone tired.
I’m bad news today, chickadees…………….

You are NEVER bad news! You are always wonderful.
I guess you need some rest. You do so much all the time. Hope you feel better soon. Lots of hot liquid might help a bit.
love and hugs,

We can’t always be up. That is how I was yesterday. It is allowed. Ginderbread and cider, two of my most favorite things.

It’s a tough time of year. Be kind to yourself.

I grew up with horses. What a great life! Granted it took my Dad two years to notice the smell was gone once I quit riding!!
I Hope you are feeling better. Often I get that down feeling for no apparent reason too. It passes. I have wondered though if the world is really the way we see it while we are in PMS….hmm…scary thought!
Cheers

I hear ya- today was a bad one for me too. There’s always tomorrow though!

Yep, and I’m coming down with a cold, I think. Nasty day. Nothing specific, just blah. And I don’t know if I can even still blame hormones! Oh, well. We’ll all feel better…it’s inevitable.

Know how you feel. I think it’s those dark long cold nights of winter that get me. Take it easy.

Totally ok to feel that way sometimes. Ride through it, you will be back to normal soon

Looks to me like you have been running yourself ragged the past few weeks. Take a night off and relax- you deserve it!
