First and foremost - DAMN IT"S HOT!!!!!!! I mean hot - like 112 degrees. No joke, 112.
So hot that I no longer have a dog, just a puddle of fur on the floor. I have fled my own home, taking my puddle of dog fur, aka Bear, and I'm at friends house right now. She has central AC, I do not. We spent a good chunk of the day at the mall; having lunch, a little shopping and a movie - Pirates of The Carribean, not as good as the first - and it was even too warm in the mall. So hot that we didn't even go the gymkhana (barrel race) we had planned on going to and too hot to even go see the horses.
Yucky heat. =(
And speaking of horses, my darling mare bucked me off about two weeks ago, and I am still recovering from that - physically and mentally. I lost control of her, and she sompletely took off at a dead run and started to buck. I sat through the first two buck, but the thrid sent me flying. And to make it even better - I did not have my helmet on AND I was riding alone. Bad Tiff!!
Physically, still have a nasty case of whiplash from hitting the ground so hard and fast. Didn't break anything, thank God, but was very, very stiff and sore for a good week, and my neck still hurts. Mentally, it it shook me really bad. Bad enough that I am some what afraid when I am on her now, but I am working through it, and have gone back to the scene of the crime and rloping her on the area she took off with me by.
I am going th State Finals for gymkhana on August 5th, so I"m bummed about the heat keeping me from the event today, cause I need to run her through some courses before then, to make sure we will be alright. There is am eveing show next Saturday, so will go to that one and it hopefully won't be as warm.
So, that's the news. Hope everyone is well out there!!!!
