My car breaks... the only good thing is that I had taken it into the shop to have it checked out because it was 'vibrating' somewhat. You know us riders, we can feel when something is off. Anyways they thought an alignment and tire rotation would take care of the issue but promised to check it over just as a precaution. Turns out a part was wearing out in the hind end of my car :( Thankfully they were able to slip the part into my warranty (got to love Kia's 100,000 km warranty!) However that was Wednesday and the garage still hasn't received the part (now Friday). They gave me an SUV the first day, but it was a demo and got sold from out from underneath me and I now have a Rio. Its a cute little car, and if my car keeps breaking I might end up in one sooner rather than later.
Second part, Wednesday I was fine, had a decent ride on Lucy with Oscars' owners riding him. My neck was a little sore but I thought I had twisted funny at work and ignored it. By 2 am the glands in my neck were rock hard and hot and I was running a temp. I couldn't sleep because they hurt so bad so off to the ER I went. Fastest I have ever been seen (in and out in under 30 minutes) but got sent home with just some antibiotics. I did have a no related appointment with my doctors wife (who is a nurse practitioner) that afternoon and she took one feel of my neck and got me an appointment with my family doctor for Friday.
By the time I saw him today the glands had started to go down but he was still concerned about them, and my ears. So antibiotics for a week, rest over the weekend, and if that doesn't make me better by Monday I get stronger drugs :{
In horsey news Oscars' owners have asked me if I would like to lease him again for the winter. I think I am going to do that. Hes a fun horse to ride and it will keep me in the saddle all winter. I'll have to keep my eyes open for something to show again next year but that is nothing new. I think I'm going to try and do some low level dressage with him, something different for both of us. I think this year though I'm going to insist that he stays in a box stall all winter (we got bumped to a straight stall because I wanted him in the main barn) and I'm going to look into getting some mats for him. His stifles get sticky if he's confined and I think that a box would be better than a straight for the days they are stuck inside due to the weather. So we'll see how it goes!
