[gottawonder]

Today I am grateful for:

A nice sunny day, and a nice, moderate temperature. The air was nice and clean after the rain.

The grass looks green again, and the trees look like they've regained their will to live.

I had a nice phone conversation with my Mom, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

Kinda talked to my sister E, but she has this terrible habit of talking to you with very little attention and trying to do something like cook supper while you're talking, and you'll be saying something and then it will become apparent that she's not paying attention. So I just ended the conversation so she could get things done. Kind of rude.

I got some laundry done, cleaned the bathroom a bit, did dishes, that kind of thing.

I went to see River, and that was nice. I visited with R and others in the barn. It was cool enough, and the air was clean, so River's breathing and energy were good. We did a little better with the lunging work, and he gave really well at the shoulder in today's spirals and walk/trot transitions.

I came home and we watched "Tooth Fairy", which was pretty funny in places, even though it bothered me that the character was a real jerk to people and it was magically "all better" by saying he was sorry. I know it was really a kid's movie, but it didn't play well from an adult's perspective.
