gottawonderToday I am grateful for:
Much cooler today, and oddly overcast where some of it may have been smoke. It feels like it wants to rain, but can't quite manage it.
The cooler temperature is a great relief, either way. It's nice not to feel wet and salty all the time.
I was able to talk with Sister E for a while today, which is nice. She's been hard to reach for weeks.
I went to see River, and our lesson today was trailer loading, because he's still not reliable with that.
It's a stressful thing, though today we didn't tie or close the divider, just went in and stood, and he was great with that.
R gets REALLY INTENSE about the loading, and I hate that it feels like she's angry at me for not being fearless. I am well aware of how awful things can get if trailer loading doesn't go well, so WHY WOULDN'T I BE NERVOUS?
The whole thing is absolutely nerve wracking, even though today was kept below a certain threshold.
So that was our lesson, and it went well, but it never feels good.
I came home and worked with Wonder and Dandy, and I feel like they are getting a little better with coming with me together. I know it's a lot for them, especially Wonder who really is so sensitive that it's easy to overwhelm her. I feel like they are trying.
I didn't let Wonder and Dandy out into their pastures because it felt like an actual storm might arrive, though the other critters got some pasture time while I was working with them.
My Sweetie came home and pretty much went straight to working on the computer, and spent several hours working on the re-installation. Wow, what an awful task. He's getting through it, and right now we get sound through the small speaker on the monitor, but not the speakers.
