Thursday, April 13, 2023 – FREEDOM!!

Hi Babe!
That’s the word that was screaming in my head this morning when I woke up! Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, I’m free at last!! I feel like I’m finally getting back to my life! I had a great night sleep, woke up naturally and fully refreshed at 7:00, got back to doing my “normal” chores, i.e. feeding the horses, cleaning out their stalls, tying them up outside of the stalls so they’d be ready when the vet arrived, grooming them to get some more of their winter coat off, especially Apollo who’s finally starting to lose his shaggy look, feeding Lola and having breakfast, all part of an ordinary day, with no tension or expectations from anyone, no one to worry about whether I’m doing something wrong, just back to doing MY thing, MY way! It feels wonderful! The vet arrived right on time, and was done in less than half an hour, and charged me about HALF of what the vet in Jupiter charged me for the same services last year, plus she added a tube of Banamine and some bute tablets, just in case. I’ve never had those handy before, but I know a lot of people always carry some around with them, so I figured it wouldn’t hurt. So both horses and Lola are done for another year, and I’ll have the paperwork to be able to leave the state. After she left, I took Flash for a short ride, less than three miles, because I didn’t want to stress him after all those shots, plus he seems a tiny bit gimpy, couldn’t find anything specific, so I brought him back early to rest. Spent the rest of the afternoon reading, occasionally dozing, hoping the rain would come in to relieve the heat (nearly 90 today!), finally did around 4:00, and a couple more short spurts through the evening. Had a nice dinner, watched a couple of Remington Steeles (I just started Season 4), and a good movie about a blind opera singer,now I’m about ready to retire for the evening. Loving life again! Good night, Sweetie! Love you!
