Bad,Bad Blog Owner

Ugh, I'm sorry for doing such a crappy job at posting guys. The same old, same old is going on here, so I don't have a whole lot to report. I've been working, and going out to see Boz when I can. Last week, I got into a riding accident, ended up with a sprained wrist, rope burns on my left hand, and a cut on my chin that they had to glue shut. The wrist is feeling a ton better at this point, the blisters on my hand have popped and are healing, and my face is still bruised and what not but hey, I'm just glad that as a rule I don't get on a horse without my helmet on. Basically, a bird dive bombed his head, and people outside of the arena put an auger up against it at the same time, and it caused him to freak. I got thrown to one side, was trying to hold on and rebalance than he dodged again to the point where I was too far off his side. I ended up landing on a metal gate for the most part. I had tried to grab for it to break the fall and avoid smacking my face dead on, so I mean in hind sight it could have been far worse of an outcome.

The bomb was dropped though, that his owner is selling him, as of this morning. I wish I had the $4,000 for him, and the continuing funds to keep him, and I'd buy him in a heartbeat. I know it's dumb because he's a horse but I'm heartbroken. In the span of the last four years I've lost about 8 horses that had a special place in my heart due to either death or sale. One of them was my own horse, whom I had to sell due to school, the others were horses at the barn I worked/rode at before it closed, and now Boz. I mean, that's the horse world but it doesn't make it any easier.

I start driving lessons this Friday, to hopefully get my g2 before I head back to school. As of right now I've been relying on my bike for all my transportation. I mean it's great exercise and has been an amazing energy release, it's been great for when I've been pissed off, or upset. Actually on the exercise note, according to my parents scale I'm down about 8lbs since I've been home from the summer. It's a bit less than a pound a week, but at the same time it's still some weight loss.

Dad's getting laid off again come August, so we're going to be back to struggling for everything we have, because my moms income is definitely not enough to fully support us, and unemployment is a kick in the teeth compared to what he makes when he's working. Such is life I guess, but I still feel bad for him.

Anyways, thats the quick update. Don't have much else to report on at the moment.
