Mmmm... my body hurts...
Jul. 3rd, 2006 09:12 pmIt's nice that I get tomorrow off for the Fourth. I could really use that break.
Today was interesting. Only two of my groups showed up, so I only had to lead those two. I think part of the reasoning why my body hurts so much is that we had Outpost groups today, and took one of them on a "trotting trail ride". Me being me, I just had to take out the crazy freakin' horse who's sensitive on the mouth and in a bit. Results? She bucked for like, a full 30 seconds before I decided that it was hurting more to stay on than it would to fall off. When I got back on, she tried it, like, twice more. Stayed on those times, though.
I now owe my staff cookies. Or some other baked good. Which means I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow to get shit. It's not a really big hassle, or anything. I like baking. Of course, the fact that I was carrying my cell phone in my back pocket as per my Director's request means that I fell directly on it. Broken cell phone. Again. I managed to fix it. Again. But I'm not sure how much longer it's going to hold out.
All in all, this summer is turning out remarkably better than I thought it would. The kids seem to like me, I get along with my staff, the horses are acceptable (read: not all freaking crazy). 'Course, knowing my luck, I just totally jinxed the next 6 weeks. But...ssshhh. We won't speak of these things.
I'm way too tired and sore to care about much else right now. I'm out. Later.
