gottawonderToday I am grateful for:
That it rained a teeny, tiny bit last night. It's just enough to knock some of the dust out of the air, but no more than that.
Sleep. Sweet sleep. After more or less no sleep the night before, it was delicious.
I talked with Sister S, and I feel for her. She did have surgery for her back, but she's only able to walk a small amount at a time. I'm getting the sense that she is becoming fairly housebound, not comfortable doing things on her own in case she can't walk from the car to wherever she wants to go, or if she falls.
I know she does things when her husband is home, but he does work, and I suspect he comes home from work and wants to just watch TV and go to bed. I don't know if he's making a point of helping her with physical therapy (walking with her). It doesn't sound like it.
Her son isn't doing a damn thing to help her either.
See, if I lived near her I would be encouraging her to walk, to try to get her out somewhere for entertainment's sake, something. Why is no one doing anything like that for her?
I mean, she COULD be taking a handi-van and going to a senior's center to play cards or do something fun, but I bet she doesn't want to be seen as being "old". She just sits in her house all day by herself instead.
I feel for her. Her situation must suck.
After doing chores, and tackling Mount Dirty Dishes, I went to the barn for our lesson.
We worked on the diagonal yields, and I suspect we shall work on them for some time.
River was a bit more peppy today, likely because of the rain last night settling some of the dust.
I came home and my Sweetie had let everyone out for a while, and brought them back in.
I made supper, we ate, and chatted.
