gottawonderToday I am grateful for:
Getting a bit of sleep. Lately my back/hips are bugging me on and off, and sometimes when I try to sleep they get cramps or something and it takes a while to sleep.
I'm doing LOTS of stretching and walking and trying to loosen things up, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
My Sweetie did get right to work on the floor in the future bedroom, and spent most of the day working on it. He got more done, but it's really taking him a lot longer than he thought it would, which is what I was trying to communicate the other day; EVERYTHING takes a lot more time than you think it's going to, so prepare for that eventuality.
I spoke with Sister E for a while, and things seems to be going okay there. She went skating on the river; her town has done lots to make the river a community place with walking paths for the summer and cleared skating areas in the winter. It sounds very nice.
I went to see River, and my Sweetie kept going on the floor. In part, the push today on the floor is because he wants to go rock climbing tomorrow, so it makes sense to make it one of our days in the city where we run errands too. THEN we have a social thing on the 30th, also in the city, so if he's going to get the floor laid (and the holiday is now half ways through) then he's going to have to put in a couple of very intense days to make up for our days where we don't work on it at all.
All the same, it's nice to see some progress.
River was thinking about food a lot today. We did get good ground work.
Under saddle he's still weird about the side pass, and I tried my best today to really isolate each part of my cues and try to understand what the issue might be. R's husband K chatted with me, and had some good insight that I will try to remember.
Since River knew that K was feeding everyone, he was pretty distracted after that. I mean, in the little arena (kind of a tent, really) you can HEAR K opening the gate and throwing hay, and River's not stupid.
Overall a good session. Especially since the weather has been so nice.
I came home and made supper, and we watched "Knives Out", which we have seen several times but again, I sleep through most of it, so it's always confusing to me.
