Hiya Darlin',
Woke up with the alarm, did chores and breakfast, then drove over to the group camp and got started on my day of vet scribing. Was just settling in when my friend Sandy arrived, and we had a nice gap between horses when we were able to visit and get caught up before she had to go to a birthday party. It was a very casual day, and there were quite a few differences between this ride and many others I've worked, the most notable being that the horses didn't have numbers, everybody went by their names, so it was a bit more difficult to fit into the system, since they all knew each other, but we managed to make it work. This ride had both endurance and competitive trail riders, which are two quite different sets of protocols, so I asked a lot of questions and learned quite a bit more about the CTR, which is primarily a regional thing that I first came across at Kankakee. The day moved fairly quickly, then mid-afternoon I went back to camp to fill up my water tanks, using the new sillcock key that Sandy delivered to me after I had it delivered to her. It was slow going, and I nearly fell asleep waiting. I finished off my deviled eggs for the potluck tonight, then read for a tiny bit before heading over in time for supper, awards and the riders meeting for tomorrow. I was back at my site by 8:00, took Lola for a walk, fed the horses, and will soon head to bed. I felt exhausted this afternoon, not having a day off in quite awhile is taking it's toll on me. It's particularly frustrating because I can't watch an hour of TV, which always helps me unwind. Can't wait to get my Starlink! Off to bed soon, hope to put a small deposit in my sleep bank tonight, if I can manage to get to bed early enough! Good night, babe! Love you!
