5 days left

Till school is over for Chistmass. Kind of crazy that its gone by so fast. Seems like only yesterday that I was worried about moving back into dorm. And now Im trying to figure out what I need to bring home for the next month.

Ive got a few more things to do for homework and a few tests as well. But after that Im done. And then to figure out what im doing all month!

An Accountant or........?

So for anyone that doesnt know Im back in school taking Business Admin. courses on my way to becoming an accountant... or somthing like it. You see, I know accouting/numbers has always been my thing. Yes love horses and I like to think Im good at it, but I am a 'box'. (We took these personality tests in school, Im a box, lock me in a room hand me the work and leave me alone I'll get it done. Although this works for training horse you have to "network" and Im really bad at it!) Anyways, I love formulas and how they work ALL the time. And accounting is really just a big formula (yes I am a nerd....). Now I only have 5 months left of school, and I have to make a choice.

Do I go back to the bank in some form? (although not a great long term goal id get sick working there), do I go and start my Degree in BA and work twards my masters? (or do a bit of both?)

...But then theres the other part of me, and maybe its just becase I know it, but.....

I have this comming 2 year old the owners want me to show. And I know if I'm going to show it I have to get my ass in gear in the next 3 months and get some saddle time to get some muscles. And I dont really have the cash for lessons.... But a local trainer may let me work off some ride time.... And then Im back where I started... Riding and breaking colts... And wishing I didnt have a day job.... And then I sat down and worked out the show season. Ive got the 2yo, possible yearling (depending on what the owners want), a 4yo to show in open halter, and possibly helping the boyfriend with his own show string. AND a mom/son team at home that wants help with there 2 horses and possible show there mare in AQHA halter....

And then I need the 2yo at where ever I am because if its going in the futuritys in the fall I need to be on it, and I have a place near home to keep her. But will I be home? What if the thing with the boyfriend works out and he wants me to move up there with him? BLAH!

And dont worry I thank god that I have these problems to work out, and the health seems to have stabalized a bit. Even if some stuff falls out of place its shaping up to be a fantastic summer of showing. So any thoughts? Anyone understand? I really just needed to get it out!

The pictures above are from the last 2 shows where we won both the NB and NS yearling allarouds and the yearling halter award in NS

So starting last wensday the BF picked me up and we had a nice supper out. (Bit of a date..) Then we took off to the Airport to pick up the clinician that was doing the inspectors clinic on Friday and Saturday.

Thursday I stayed in the hotel, and did homework. They did a tour of the city but I decided that I really should get homework done. We had planed on going out with some friends for supper but ended up going to a lobster supper with everyone else from the conference. We had a great time, however everyone non local thought we were married (and when found out we werent, I got told to marry him as he was so great). The local aparently didnt know, but I mean come on its not a secret we had everyone making fun of us all last weekend!

Went out with the tour group on Friday where we went to some local stores and had lunch at some fancy place. The clients and BF's sister showed up and joined us for the rest of the tour. We then headed back to the hotel, then went to the inspectors clinic.

Saturday we spent the morning at the clinic, while everyone else had some tours of the local horse places. We then had meetings in the afternoon. That evening we had a banquet with an awards presentation (Res. champion yearling, lungline, and maritime breed 2 and under) then the dance.

Sunday BF had meetings, then we drove to my parents place for supper (which went well by the way) then on to his palace because in the morning.... We went to the states to pick up his new stud colt. Who is amazing. By The Hunter, and out of a world champion mare. Everyone is extreamly excited about this colt. Anyways had a great weekend at his place. Wish I was back there. And I went to school for two days and now im home! Busy week

IV infusion

Well the Iv for my RA meds is suposto take 3 hours ok? And I was told to expect a bit of flu/cold symptoms (head acke, tiredness, ect) Which is fine, I get that when I dont get my meds plus my joints hurt.

Well I go in yesterday for my second treatment... starts at one, 3 hours on then one hour wait time then Im done. Well yeah except it was one when I got hooked up they ran saline for 30 min then started the drug. About 1/2 way though my head starts to hurt a bit so the nurse decides to slow it down, which adds on more time. My head still hurts by the way so not sure if its directly related or not. So its now 5 pm and I still had to wait the additional hour. By this time I feel bad, the poor nurse is missing supper with her family and Im stuck to this stupid line.

I didnt get out of there till 6, missed supper at the cafateria so I had to go get some (and Im not suposto dive opps...) Then ended up in bed by 7:30. Just feeling crapy and tired. The BF calls when he gets home at 10:45 but of course Im groggy and stuff, but he just wanted to make sure I was ok.

THEN I get up at 6 to do home work, dont get it all finished, go to class all stressed still slightly sick and find out that class is cancled. Yippie! So now im going to go finish my homework. ;)
