gottawonderToday I am grateful for:
The temperature feels a bit better today without the wind.
The "house helper" guys came today, and worked with my husband in the basement. They got most of the drywall up in the basement, all the "big" stuff. It's up to my husband to do the remaining detail pieces, which might take a lot longer than the large areas, and I hope he can maintain his momentum to get them done.
I am very glad they got so much done, and that they also moved a lot of stuff out of the basement back to the garage so there is more room to work now.
It also seemed to make my husband happy, and I hope it helps him to keep moving on the house in a steady fashion, knowing that it IS possible to make progress.
I gave each of the guys two packages of frozen raspberries, since our small freezer is mostly full of raspberries now. We had a very good crop the last two years, and haven't used that many yet.
I did chores, and put Dandy out with Wonder again.
When the guys finished up at around 4:30 pm, we went to the barn to see River.
Once again, I would say he was distracted and not very engaged in our session once we got to the ridden part. The Liberty work was pretty good, but by the time we worked under saddle he was not focused any more.
He's still not doing nice side passes, and I will have to work with R to figure out what's going on. We do have our first lesson of the year this Wednesday.
I still don't know what to do about the fact that K feeds the horses at very random times, and today he fed them early, EXACTLY as I was taking River out of the pen, meaning that by the time I was putting him back, there wasn't any hay left.
When I bring this up, K and R always poo poo me, saying "oh, he gets lots to eat", but not when our ride times are exactly the time K throws hay.
So, I did take some hay from the round bale for him, and I hope he got to keep it.
We came home and both of us were pretty chilled, nice that we had leftovers and didn't have to cook much, just nuked some veggies.
We watched "Brooklyn's Finest" which was okay. It felt like it was working pretty hard to be "gritty", but I literally said I wanted to watch a gritty cop show, and this is definitely a gritty cop show.
Then my Sweetie had a bath and got to bed, but not terribly early. He needs to be up by 5 am tomorrow, and I think he's going to be pretty tired.
