Thursday, March 26, 2026 – Think I’m Ready!

Hey Darlin'!
Was awakened at 3:00 in the morning by Chelle's wayward horse Levi (proof that my horses aren't to blame for knocking down their fence earlier!), I heard him run past my window, then come back and munch for awhile. At 4:00 I was still awake, and second-guessing myself as to whether I had remember to turn my fence charger on, so I got up, put on a robe, and checked it. Yes, it was on! But so were the lights in the barn, so I wandered over there to see if I could help. Chelle was just rounding up Levi and getting him back in the pasture. Later they fixed and electrified their fence, so hopefully that will be the last of THAT problem! Finally managed to fall asleep again for a short while, but got up to do some new items I had added to my list overnight. By 7:45 I was leading Chelle through the feeding instructions, by 9:00 Art came by, and I decided I had time to walk with him and Lola, then when we got back, I got involved with gathering my trash for a dump run Eric was planning for later in the day, then I walked Art through the feeding instructions just in case Chelle gets called away, so Art could take over. Suddenly I looked at my watch and realized I was running late for my chiropractic appointment, so I scooted off to that. Another great session, making more headway than ever! Then I went to Ace and got some more Turtle Wax, so I could finish that off when I get back. I tried to find travel size insect repellant but couldn't, so I'll have to get some once I arrive. I got back, did a couple more chores, then saddled up Flash for our last ride for awhile. We only went just under 10 miles, but took some interesting trails I hadn't been on before, and he was brilliant, as always! I rinsed him down, brushed my shaggy Apollo and rinsed him down as well, gave them a good dose of fly spray, and made sure their fly masks were on tight. I decided to try to see if I could fit one of the saddle cover pads in my baggage, and I miraculously managed to get my newest one at the bottom of my carry-on. Don't know if I'll be able to use it, but I figured it would be a good chair cushion if nothing else, and it weighs next to nothing. Finally settled down to some leftover Indian food and a little TV, refreshed my hair, took a hot tub, and crossed some more things off my list. Then, the best news of all, I received my Tanzania Visa! It seems all is right with my world right now, and so grateful for it! Fingers crossed everything goes well with my travel over the next two days. Can't wait! Heading to be early, I need to get a good night sleep! Good night, baby! Love you!
