just 10 more

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!  The vet has seen Rachel and we don’t have to pack her legs in ice every day—-that’s over, she’s been fitted for some special horseshoes but is still confined to her stall.  Going out tomorrow to just visit and maybe groom.  She is getting near to going in season again so getting in the stall with her will totally depend on her mood; I don’t need any more bruises.  Never thought I’d be keeping track of a horses’ period!!!

Let’s see what else is new–I know I haven’t made it on here to record food but I’ve been pretty good this week.  Skipped gym on Wed.; my calf was just too sore but it seems to be slowly getting better and I went today—did tm and ladies lite aerobics.  I think I probably was sore from one of those awful leg cramps I get during the night.  I did watch it closely and toyed with the dr. idea. I also have been left with a lump the size of a marble under the skin where my huge “Rachel” bruise was.  Falling apart, I am!

Been busy planning and getting ideas and buying decorations for the first orchestra concert.  It’s fun but I’m having fears that people won’t bring the snacks and finger foods we’re hoping for to serve afterward.  Still have to write a few rah-rah blurbs for the orchestra newsletter.  May have to help with alterations on a few of the gowns I measured the girls for, only one was so off it had to be re-ordered which is fine; I thought there’d be a lot more.  Spoke with the woman who did the measuring last year and she said she didn’t exactly listen to the teacher’s instructions about ordering by bust size alone.

News flash—–we had a drive-by shooting in my neighborhood—-2:18am one night this week, other side of the street and three doors down–3 bullets through the front of the house.  Supposedly one of the boys in the family is into the drug scene.  I am SOOOO PISSED at them for bringing this to MY neighborhood!!!!  We are middle class as they come and I never dreamed this would happen…….I often take the dog out front for her last pee around midnight…..I don’t need this.  The shooting was directly across the street from the friend I walk dogs with, her huskys went nuts that night.  She told me a whole list of people in the neighborhood who have begun a closer relationship with their weapons; somehow this does not make me feel better.  There’s a 357 around here someplace and I’m a very good shot with it but I’m pretty sure we don’t have any ammo and I’m certainly not about to turn the place into an armed camp; especially not with a teen living here.  I hate seeing people carrying in public; other than police of course.  Makes me very nervous.

Got some lovely pansies today; now i gotta find time to get them in the ground!

Bfsk: 1 pkt. instant oatmeal, made with water……….lunch: chicken, brown rice, mushroom soup, light yogurt, piece low fat cheddar………….dinner: about 3oz. of prime rib, 1/2 baked pot w/a little sour cream and butter, sm. Greek salad.

G’nite chickadees!
