Friday, Dec. 31, 2021 – Happy New Year!

Hello, my love!
Another year, come and one, time just keeps flying by! Got up this morning in time to bid Pistol good-bye as she headed of to her brother’s and to visit with our friend Maggie. I had a frustrating morning after that, when I started looking around for hay, could only find some in a local feed store, drove thirty minutes to get there when I realized I had taken my purse out of the truck, so I had no credit card or money to buy it. Spend fifteen minutes on the phone begging my credit card company to let me have the card number, and no matter how much I tried, they wouldn’t give it to me, so that was a waste of time. Got back to camp and was trying to clean up some apps on my phone, apparently my credit card company wants to update my app, but there’s not enough room on my phone for it, go figure. Don’t know if that worked or not, haven’t tried to download it yet. Had my leftover turkey leg for dinner, then tried to watch more Expanse, but for some reason, I can get Netflix just fine but Amazon just keeps buffering every minute, very annoying. So I’m not in the best of moods tonight, trying to change my cell phone booster antenna around, hoping for a better signal, then having the phone die on me because the plug wasn’t working right, yada yada yada. Finally did manage to watch one episode using screen sharing before it became time to wrap up the evening. Lots of people came into camp today, a bunch of day riders and a few overnighters. Guess there are some partyers here, too, hoping there aren’t too many fireworks to bother Lola and the horses. Anyway, I have no intention of staying up late, I didn’t even buy a bottle of bubbly this year, though I did crack open an airline bourbon and drank half of that. Much as I enjoy have company occasionally, it’s always nice to be back on my own. I’m sure a nice long ride on Flash tomorrow will put me in a better mood for the new year. Reminds me of that one New Year we were riding along the beach on Padre Island in Texas, getting our horses’ feet wet in the Gulf of Mexico, our third stop after the Atlantic and the Pacific. A beautiful memory, but this is no time to get nostalgic or maudlin, since I have a brand new year in front of me to explore. About time for shower and bed now. Good night, darlin’! Love you!
