gottawonderToday I am grateful for:
Decent sleep.
Today was colder and snowing, but I think that's easier to deal with than freezing rain.
I did general busy things like put water in the cat tower and launder dog diapers, and feed everyone.
Then I managed to finagle the very long garrocha into my little car by having part of it stick out of a back window (safely, on the passenger side so it wouldn't be on the side facing traffic) so that I could take it to the barn to work with.
River was a bit agitated today, and actually calling for his friends when we were in the arena. He is generally not "buddy sour", and yet lately he's been a bit anxious about being alone.
R's daughter L came out and rode with us, which is good because then River was okay, but it's also nice to have someone to ride with.
I worked on elements that I hope to use in the freestyle, and then tried the garrocha. It's an interesting tool to work with. L tried it too.
My Sweetie showed up part way through, so that was nice too. I think he was pleased to see me try out the garrocha.
Then for a few minutes R and the person having a lesson tonight were in the barn as we were cleaning up, and we were all chatting and being social. That was nice.
We went home, and though it was snowing quite a lot the roads were okay.
I made supper and then we watched another episode of "Dark". I spent some time earlier today looking at a fan wiki page so that I had a better idea of who all the characters are, and how they are related (there's a LOT of characters, grouped into families, and they are all either sleeping with each other or are tied in other important ways that are hard to keep track of). It helped, though the whole concept of what the heck is happening besides "time travel" is murky.
