Stock In Kleenex

 Well ... well well well ..... a really deep subject on this day.  Low temperature overnight 56.  High today 76.  Perfect weather to be sick, yes?  The good news is the 50% chance of rain this morning, so I don't feel     QUITE as bad that I'm sitting on the couch all day.

I'm taking out stock in Kleenex because I think I've gone through two boxes so far.

The sad part ... I was invited to the Back Country Horsemen gathering today for some training classes.  I guess that's not going to happen, though I do feel better ... not coughing as much ... I just don't feel up to it.

More good news ... I have no fever, so I'm guessing it's not an infection ... but who knows.  I also check my oxygen levels just for fun, and it's at 98-99%, so there's that.

I spent all day on the couch.  You can imagine how hard that is for me to just sit and vegetate.  I was a tad bit lucky since the Road To The Horse competition was on.  You couldn't get any more up my alley than this.

They chose three guys ... all men this time ... to take a colt provided by a big name ranch and break it not only to ride, but to go through crazy obstacles, in only two days.  This year they decided to add one more person with a wild card round, which is what I got to watch.  

These fillies have never been handled before at all.  It's also interesting to see the difference between fillies and colts.  Colts just do their thing ... but fillies ... they don't want to be away from the herd, so it's harder to get their attention to do what you are asking of them.  

So that's it ... that was my entire day.  Oh I did do one very exciting load of laundry when I discovered after five years that I could set that thing up the way I wanted instead of using their pre-programmed settings.  I mean really ... the excitement ... the euphoria!!!

I'm not coughing as much as I was, but I'm tired, and so another rousing day on the couch is in my future.  Maybe, just maybe if I'm a good girl, I will feel good enough to go to the Elks Installation dinner tomorrow that I paid $30.00 for.  In 14 years, I've never gone because I was in Arizona.  Now I'm finally here and I'm a sicko!!  RATS!!

Here's to better days ... SOON!!
