Hi
Back to work today. It was sad going to the barn and seeing my stall empty but I didn't stay long. Lunch with Karen was nice. Her horses stall is next to mine. My trainer said last night that she is importing a 13 year old Westphalian gelding that might be right for me. He will arrive in 2 weeks. I am not obligated to buy him, she will lease him out or sell him if he is not right for me.
I will check back this evening to see how you all are doing.

Good morning, Amy - one of the first horses I rode at the barn where I now ride was a Westphalian. He was a good boy I'm glad you had a nice lunch with your friend yesterday; it sounds as though you have a good group for support at your barn! I'm sure it will be a day of mixed emotions - thinking of you! Today I'm undertaking a pretty daunting home project in our dining room. A friend and I are going to be demo'ing the faux-wood crown molding and prepping the room for painting. The molding is just not our taste - very ornate and frou-frou (plus made from plastic/foam board) and the room itself a bright fuchsia. Time to go! The stuff is almost cemented to the ceiling by some industrial strength adhesive and nails. Not quite sure what the previous owners were thinking. My DH started to try ripping it off last night; when he finally succeeded, chunks were flying across the room! Now that both my kids are in school full time, I'm guess I'll be taking a crash course on minor home improvements this fall. I'll check in later on to see if anyone is around for chatting Well, unless I get clonked in the head by an errant piece of molding

Good morning.
It was nice taking a walk. It was 67*. Going into town to run errands this morning. I guess Barb is on her way for her cruise.
Allison-home improvements are never "minor". I hope you get done what you want to do.
Amy-have fun at work. I forgot but what is it you do?
Faye-practicing today?
Cathy-is kitty doing okay? Are you enjoying the watercolor class?
Dutch-is the fence finished? Do you have a barn/stall/shed for the filly?

BETH-yes, just timed out my show and busy practicing today. I was going to go to spinning but I seemed to have pulled my back yesterday,not sure how, and so didn't do spinning. will stretch and do some yoga and just walk around and do harp today. how was Bible study? AMY-glad you felt better and could go to lunch with your friend. take it slow. glad your barn and trainer are so understanding and nice ALLISON-many years ago I took wallpaper off a bathroom wall. it was fabric and I should have rented a steamer but didn't. Vowed I'd never do that again. so good luck with it. OH and are you wearing goggles and a mask for plaster dust? Goggles should be warn just in case. good luck. CATHY-yes, how was watercolor class? did you get to speak to the vet? DUTCH-hope the fence is going well.
waving to all. HAGD

Libby-I just looked at the carb count. It seems doable. I'm going to kind of try it out. I realize I'm eating way too many carbs and not necessarily the good kind and my wt loss is slowing down. Thanks

Hi, all! Faye, sorry about your back...all it takes - >ahem< at our age - is one little tweak. Hope walking and playing help! Beth, OK, let us know how the Libby's less-carb diet goes. I'm with you...I know I eat too many but they are SO good (which is probably why we eat them). My brother lost weight cutting out break...it just makes me want to cry! Libby, I'm assuming the Rosie is doing OK after her setback this week? Are you on both jobs today? Amy, I also love your trainer...she is really looking out for you and that is wonderful. Good luck getting back to work today...hopefully your office will be as supportive as your trainer! Allison, I LOVE doing updates to the house. Sounds like your making a good move removing frou-frou molding I'm going to strip painting on the bathroom vanity next week. I have my sawhorses, need to get some plywood to make a table and I'm set! Yes, I did get a chance to talk to my vet (she's moving to be closer to family) and she gave me 2 names at the place I was going to, so I've made an appointment for next week to talk to the "new" vet. We'll see! Taking off next week as another stay-cation. Will work on said bathroom cabinets, maybe try some plein air painting (outdoors), and goof off. Cathy

Stage one of renovation done! Man, I invited the right friend over - she and I had that molding down in 20 minutes! I was astonished - I thought for sure it would take soooo much longer. We got all the nails out of the wall and cleaned/scraped the ceiling, too. Oh, and shared a bottle of wine 😄 Tomorrow I'll move on to spackleing and taping off for painting. Another friend will be joining me, and I'm pretty sure there will be another bottle of wine 😄
Faye - I'm sorry to hear about your back. Ugh, that's the worst. It really affects everything you do! I hope you were able to get a good practice session in, despite it. How long is your show? It that the one for the holidays?
Cathy - I'm glad you found info on another vet. I hope your kitty is better - has there been any official diagnosis about her leaking issues? It must be extremely frustrating!
Have a great night, everyone!

Work went fine. I work with nice people all the time so I knew it wouldn't be a problem with them. My stomach is acting up again, I wish it would stop. Friday is my WW meeting in the morning. I didn't go last Friday (Rueben died on Thurs.) I am going to go weigh in but not stay for the meeting. I know a lot of people will be talking about how they spent Labor Day Weekend. I will join the meeting next week.
My trainer is awesome. I know how fortunate I am to be at her barn. I know she will find me another nice horse. We both agree he won't be like Rueben but that is OK too.
You all have been so supportive and I am thankful for that. I know a lot of people just don't get it. They were not born with the horse lover gene. I bet in the future science will identify one.
