Girl dinner
But where can I get the LEGO pipette.
Never understood how so many people just blindly stood and recited and the pledge in school. I stopped after 5th grade when I started to realize how fucked the system is
I like to get her moving a tiny bit every time I'm there to make sure she's still moving okay and doesn't have any foot issues. After we finished with that, I sprayed her off with fly spray and considered hanging out with some friends there but decided it was way too awful out and went home.
Hopefully tomorrow isn't as awful. I want to actually brush her down if I can. It's supposed to storm, so hopefully it'll make a nice draft through the barn that'll cool everything down.
I wfh and I try to get up an hour before I have to clock in. Most days I end up waking up 10 minutes before I have to clock in and I'm wrecked the whole morning.
1910!
I bought it in 2022. It's tiny but mine lol
I'm getting a hysterectomy in two weeks to treat severe endometriosis and so many people have asked me if this is actually a valid treatment and if I want kids. My specialist is one of the best in the country. If she says yeeting my uterus will prevent more endo surgeries and pain, I'm yeeting my uterus. I'm tired of this shit. I also have zero desire to be a parent to humans.
The world is so baby obsessed that the thought of removing a uterus to treat a debilitating disease is fucking unthinkable. My boss was like, "Have there been studies that show this surgery fixes this problem?" My boss's wife added, "what if you ever want kids?"
And I was like, "It's kinda hard for a uterus-based disease to continue if you don't have a uterus. My doctor is also one of the best specialists in this disease in the country and probably the world. I trust her. And if I ever want kids, I'll just adopt."
People get visibly and verbally disappointed when I say that I don't want kids. Fucking disgusting behavior. The only person that doesn't seem to give a shit that I don't want kids is my surgeon. She just wants me to not be in debilitating pain and accepts my word on the fact that I do not want children.
Like, I've been asked so much about kids in the past month, it's ridiculous. It's invaded my goddamn dreams at this point. I just want people to leave me the fuck alone. Just acknowledge the news of my surgery I'm telling you as a courtesy and fuck off. Please.
This is exactly what I thought as going to answer. Fuckin LOVE sweet potatoes and onions
I'm getting major surgery in two weeks and I'll be on short term disability for an entire month afterwards. I'm honestly really looking forward to the time off, even if it'll be full of physical suffering. My burnout outweighs the physical trauma of having nearly all of my reproductive organs removed.
I'm so thankful my house came with a super old washer and dryer. They work so well. I had to replace the one vent hose thing for the dryer, but that's because my cat thought she could sit on it and it ripped out of the wall when she landed on it.
Just solidifies my hatred of theaters even more lol
Oh wow! That's a crazy coincidence!
I taught her the exercises I do with Sandy so she can help me with her training while I'm recovering from surgery next month. Sandy was so wonderful for her. :)
The only pic I got because my visit was super short lol. It was so hot and humid.
She got crazy zoomies after her bath, rolled in the dirt, and ran around the round pen for a few minutes before she wore herself out. She had a great time and lots of people really liked seeing her enjoying herself like that lol. This pic was taken a few hours later after she dried completely and I did her braids and brushed her.
She got really spicy when I tried to clean one of her back hooves and almost kicked me in the head. I gave her a lil smack on the butt (not hard at all) and yelled at her and she stopped misbehaving and let me clean her hoof. I think she might have a little bit of arthritis in that leg and that's what had her so uncomfortable until I was able to get her foot held and supported properly. If she continues to show that discomfort, I'll get some horse arthritis gel to try out.
They totally would look better if I mathed out how many braids I'd need for the pattern I was going for lmao.
She was SO brave, y'all. I think it was the big ol pep talk I gave her. She did the "it's gonna eat me" dance at the hose, but eventually relaxed enough for me to get a lot of the dirt off. She didn't stop moving the whole time, but wasn't unmanageable. I'm so proud. I had to tell literally everyone I saw because it was such a big deal.
Sandy is still very dirty, but is considerably cleaner now. Next goal is to introduce soap lol. Her owner has some really nice horse shampoo and conditioner stored in the tack room that I'm gonna use.
It also started raining as soon as we were done, so we couldn't get any cute pics outside. I was gonna hitch her to a post inside for pics, but I was asked to help treat an infected hoof on another horse and that took a while.
I planned to tack Sandy up and work with her while she was wearing a saddle, but she decided to canter around the round pen when I took her out for grooming and she even jumped over some mud.
She tired herself out very quickly.
I also played some music while we were hanging out and she seemed to like it.
She got visibly upset when I rode around another horse after I was finished with her training and grooming and the barn chore I do to get to ride for free lol. I made sure she got a cookie to know she's still my fave.
Dave is the black horse and Joey is the brown and white one. Joey is always trying to get her attention, but she doesn't care about boys. She just wants to have a good time on her own lol.
I sponged her off today and she did not like it and was doing some grazing in the pic while I got a drink and rinsed the bucket.
We both got lots of good exercise in during the sponging because she kept doing the "it's gonna eat me dance" when I'd use the sponge and I wasn't giving up on the endeavor because I went through all the trouble of getting the stuff ready.
She eventually calmed down and I got a second round of sponging in and she was much less skittish that time. Maybe someday she'll get an actual bath. 🥲
It's 90F here and I was told she refused to leave her stall earlier, most likely because of the heat, so I'm just gonna leave her be today.
She was very spicy today over all. I think it's because she hasn't had any training sessions for about a hot minute.
We did a little bit of easy training today and then I let her graze for a while before I got assistance in treating her foot. It should be healed up by the time I go out on Wednesday!
What a time for me to realize that my position in my job is no longer stable. I asked for a raise in return for getting certs they want me to have off the clock and suddenly my bosses aren't cool anymore. Place got real shitty real fast when I was like, "Hey, I'll do this shit you want off the clock if you pay me more during work hours"
They literally laughed in my face and now tensions are high between management and the employees that aren't happy here. I'm going on medical leave for 4 weeks starting next Thursday and I'm terrified they'll realize they can manage without me in that time and fire me for some bullshit when I come back
