Some days I simply reflect, others I vent or rant and sometimes I just think out loud. I find blogging to be a very therapeutic way for me to express myself. Here is a small window into my soul...

Lift me up in your thoughts...

I was told yesterday that my mother has breast cancer. My mother is an alcoholic who found sobriety 2 years ago, she has been doing great until she got the news from her doctor yesterday. When I spoke to her last night, she was clearly intoxicated...a double blow for me. Today has really sucked. Since I was so consumed the last 2 weeks with caring for my friend's horses, I haven't even had time to decorate my home for Christmas. My helped me drag out all the boxes today, but I just couldn't get myself in a festive mood. Everything seemed different today. My mother lives an hour away and it's worrying me that I can't be closer, especially now that she is ill. Please remember my mom in your prayers, her name is Jean.

Have you ever had a friend that totally imposed upon you? Don't get me wrong, I never mind doing a favor for a friend, but this one is HUGE. I prefer to, at least be asked and have the opportunity to say yea or nay instead of someone assuming that I'll do it. My friend flew to Oklahoma on the 23rd to attend the Futurity where one of her horses is competing. She also has 4 other horses at her farm here. The man that had been hired to care for them while she was away for 12 days, was hospitalized the day before her flight left. Guess who's caring for her horses now? She didn't have much choice... and I couldn't say no. I wouldn't mind it if it were just for a weekend or so...but 12 days? Her farm is 32 miles from my home and I have to travel there twice a day. You do the math, it comes out to roughly 1500 miles. Not to mention that I have a job in the city and 2 at home as well. I am on day 7 out of 12 now and I'm exhausted. Of the 4 horses she has, they are all high maintenance. One is pregnant, one is very old, one is a race and the other is a very valuable show . They all have different dietary and exercise requirements. Oh, and I'm not an equestrian either. I have ridden a few times over the years, but I have never owned a . I used to think I wanted one, but this past week has certainly changed my mind. These are magnificent creatures and I've enjoyed bonding with them, but I never want to shovel another big ole' pile of shit for the rest of my life.
Tomorrow morning I'll drive out to her farm in the country to muck stalls and feed the heard. Then I have to clean myself up, change clothes and head to the city for my "real" job and hope I don't smell like a barn. When I get off work tomorrow evening, I'll change clothes again and head for the stable...repeat process for the rest of the week.
I love my friend, but she owes me a BIG one after this. Hmmm, I wonder if she'll keep my for 2 weeks while I go on vacation? lol

| I haven't posted in a few days, mostly because I've been consumed with work and one dilemma after another with my . Between their cars breaking down from abuse and neglect (on their part) and difficulties with their classes and projects, I feel like a chasing his tail. Instead of running myself ragged with everyone else's problems, I actually considered running away today. Although I know I can't really do that, I did take a mental vacation for a short time. I just sat at my desk and let all the calls roll over to voice mail while I stared out the window...SNAP OUT OF THIS FUNK AND BACK TO REALITY GIRL! Ok, I'm better now. My 51st birthday is approaching this week and all I want to do is something for myself...like getting laid. What I really need is a good old fashioned roll in the hay, a bottle of wine and a few belly laughs. Yep, that'll cure me for sure. lol Instead, I'll be spending the weekend in Atlanta with my . We haven't really been on a vacation other than the beach for many years. They've never been to a metropolitan city and I know Atlanta will blow them away. The last time I was there, I barely remember it since I was drunk in a bar in underground Atlanta... my, how times have changed. |
