Oh what a lovely day it was today. NOT! My day starts out with waking up and having a horrible headache, bordering on a migraine. SUPER! Can already tell it’s just going to be a fun day. I should have just stayed in bed. But being the good employee I am and knowing it was billing day at work I went in. Got what really needed to get done for the billing and I came home. I think I lasted a whole 2 hours at work. Better than nothing right?!?! So I come home and take a pain pill and try and sleep. Well I laid around for I think 2 hours before I could fall asleep, then I finally did but only ended up sleeping for a hour or so. And woke up with the headache still, ARGHHH I love my life. So I stayed in bed and watched some TV trying to not focus on my head hurting. Then finally decide to get up and go to the barn maybe that will help not focus on my head and just be around my Harley. I took Minnie with because she just LOVES the barn. So I do all my chores and be the “stall fairy” and clean some other people’s stalls. And decide to ride and see if that helps. Figured hey if my back is hurting maybe that will take the focus off my head. I waited for Becky to get to the barn and we saddle up and go for a ride. Me and Becky being the daredevils we are, our riding never really goes further than in the arena. We both are not big “trail riders” while most other people at the barn like to go on them, we both share a common bond in that we would just rather stay in the arena. So I get up on my steed (while I don’t have much anxiety getting on from falling off, if he moves around when I am trying to get on it does get me a bit nervous) and away we go. I just love my horse, he has hardly been ridden in the past 2 years now a grand total of probably 20 times IF that. And he is just the same as the last day he was ridden, just goes along and nothing is lost. Gosh I just love him! So we work on some bending and such since he is a bit stiff, and just play around. Becky is always checking in on seeing if I am in pain, she is so enthusiastic about me riding I feel bad when I have to say that it is painful. But I just keep having fun, showing Becky how Harley can back up with no reins. Such a good boy he is to put up with all my little tricks. We ride for probably 15-20 minutes and decided that is enough, made the poor guy get a little sweaty. While it does feel good to get on and ride, I just wish it didn’t have to cause me pain. But that just might be my life and I am going to have to either accept it or not do it. Just going to have to see how it goes, but in the meantime my little Minnie gives me plenty of reasons to smile.
Til next time… M
