Jan. 8th, 2026 02:21 amToday I am grateful for:
Decent sleep.
Still sort of "jangly" today. I often get this odd feeling of not quite anxiety, but feeling like I have to do SOMETHING, but even though I AM doing things, that's not the thing I need to do.
I did talk very briefly with Trainwreck, who mentioned that the paperwork was not from her ex partner's estate, but Mom's. I guess Sister S and Brother T have finally gotten things sorted out. There was some weird delay with the lawyer, as Sister S mentioned a while ago.
It feels weird to consider whatever might be coming from the estate, and seeing a copy of her will. I hadn't really considered any money, though I don't think it will be a lot, divided between so many of us. I guess it just feels like another good bye.
I spoke more with Sister E about the neighbor's horse that was shot, and after a bit more speculation...given that this person didn't seem to want to involve the police, I wonder if it wasn't some abusive ex partner. Most violence against women (and this is an older, single woman who lives on her place alone) comes from a partner or ex partner.
Then I went out to do chores, enjoying the much warmer temperatures today.
I let Dandy spend some time with Wonder today, and since they could have their blankets off, they immediately started grooming each other.
Then I headed to the barn. I was a little early, but it's nice to give River a bit of time to eat hay in the barn before our lesson on days when I show up and they haven't been fed for the evening.
We had a good "back to school" session after our break for the holidays. We reviewed our "homework" from before Christmas, and since we've been working on it, looked at our progress.
Our new homework is to do more backing on the ground, and add direction changes to it.
He was much better with his trot to the right, not rushing or pulling too much to the wall.
It was nice to have a lesson again. I felt weird over the break without them for two weeks.
Also chatted a bit with the people from other lessons.
I came home, my Sweetie had supper going. I took Dandy back to his pen before eating.
We ate and chatted and then he headed to bed. He's really only getting about seven hours a night at best, and I know he's probably not sleeping much until after the cats get fed. It's hard to keep the house quiet for someone who needs to be in bed by 9 pm.
