I sure do love working at an MSP during times like this. Today fuckin sucked. Clients called in non-stop about things being broke AND our ticketing and remote support software was up and down all day

God I can only hope my fellow Americans will end up being so unbelievably based. I'm down to help but I don't think I could start the guillotine parade all by myself. That's more of a group activity.

That's the thing, tho, iv never seen him sleep

Lol that's adorable! Odin not demanding attention is honestly kind of a good thing because he lives at a horse barn and is liable to get stomped on if he's underfoot.

Idk if he'd accept them or if I'd get swarmed by the 15 other barn cats lol

It's why I named him that. Idk if he has an official name to everyone else, but I've named all the barn cats and other horses.

 

Lil dude lost an eye to infection but it isn't letting that stop him from being an absolute menace

A friend and I once took a dozen donuts and a 2 liter of Mug root beer into a movie theater. The guy doing bag checks looked at me and my friend and said, "Good choice in snacks" and let us in.

It is awesome! She's such a good girl and loving life.

I'm starting her on an additional supplement that is for weight maintenance/gain. Hoping she can get a few more pounds on before the cold really sets in or can at least maintain her current weight.

 

Didn't think we made this much progress, but we did!

 

My cousin and his soon to be wife are some of my best friends and they absolutely adore playing MTG. I like to make wedding gifts, so I decided to make a wall hanging with a cute lil poem. I haven't woodburned before and I almost caught my hair on fire once and burned myself twice. Worth it tho.

I edited their names out obviously lol

 

My 2 year old goldendoodle just yeeted herself off the porch for no reason and fucked up her leg. Of course the vet is booked until 11 AM tomorrow. This is the same dog that had to get bowel obstruction surgery twice in two months because she kept eating toys. She is not allowed to have toys anymore.

She's such a goblin.

 

I had time to waste while her alfalfa cubes soaked, so I decided to play with some braids. She loved it.

 
 

It was a really nice break from all the crazy hills lol.

 

Some of these trails weren't even trails. Just us tromping through the woods. I rode down and up super steep hills, and going down them was awful. Going up was the best, especially when I was told by my instructor to let the horse I was on go at the pace he wanted up the more challenging ones. Never thought I'd canter through the woods lol. The whole thing reminded me of where I grew up. My mom would tell me to go outside and play until dinner and I'd just go off into the woods and be feral for a while. I felt a wonderful nostalgia the whole ride today.

I'm absolutely exhausted now. My thighs are bruised too lol. So worth the pain though. It was absolutely gorgeous.

Sandy let me catch her without trouble again today! There's a new gelding that tried following us and she kicked at him to get him to stop then followed me with her head held high as if she was saying, "I do NOT have time for little boys!"

Mares are so catty and I love it lmao.

 

Edit:

SHE STOOD LIKE A PERFECT LADY FOR THE FARRIER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS AND HE SAID HER FEET LOOK GREAT.

It's amazing what a clean environment can do for a critter.

 

She wanted to run in the arena today and we got 2 steps into it and realized it was a sand pit and noped back over to the barn for alfalfa cubes time.

I also have a different kind of halter/lead combo on its way. Gonna see if it is easier to get on her in pasture.

 

The horse's name is Buddy and he took great care of me. I'll be riding him on a much longer trail ride in the 5th!

Trail is such a crazy workout. Going down steep hills was the hardest (and scariest) part tbh, but once I went down the steepest one, I was fine lol.
