Hiya Darlin',
Had a little trouble getting to sleep last night, so I ended up sleeping late in the morning. After chores and breakfast, I saddled up Apollo, wanting to keep him moving and to give Lola some exercise. He was even slower than usual, making me wish I had given him some bute this morning, but I hate to do that before a ride, in case he tries to do too much. I did give him one when I got back though. Lola stayed way in front of us again, just too slow for her, even with her limp! We only went about 2.7 miles, and I even walked some of it, just to get him moving a bit faster. Yes, my walking was faster than his! He used to be such a fast walker, it's sad to see him slow down so much. Anyway, once we got back to camp and I put him away, I did some mending on the old sheepskin (I noticed one of the straps had torn off), and also the saddlebags, which are a constant repair job. I also tried to fix the leg on the solar panel. I've done it before and it's broken again, and I finally got tired of messing with it, so I've done it again, hopefully a better job this time. Did some research on the keto diet, as I've kind of hit a plateau on the lowfat, high carb diet I've been on, so I thought I would go in the opposite direction for a few days, see if it helps my downward trend get moving again. What can I say, I feel the need for meat! Relaxed in the evening, days are getting shorter in a hurry, nights will be getting cooler, too. Winter is on the way! But it's perfect weather at the moment, 70's during the day, 50's at night, my perfect balance! Love it here, but rules say I must move on Monday, so tomorrow is packing, and also is forecast to be rainy, so a good day to stay inside. No laundry likely tomorrow! Good night, babe! Love you!
