Man, I'm busy. This week is no exception, and it's shaping up to be one of those weeks from Hell where you can't even see yourself surviving through the end of it, so when I make it to the weekend I will be A) relieved, B) exhausted, and C) drunk. (Probably.)
Seriously, though, this past weekend was nice. Saturday I got to see Amy ride Sir Patrick and then I got on him, and the difference between where he was when he got to Nunnally Lane and now is amazing. He is a great, great horse and I adore him already - but he is super smart, and he learns quickly. It's already like riding a completely different horse because of the things he has learned and picked up already. He is really good with his leads now and his canter transitions, the last two weeks he had been kind of snarky about picking up the canter. He is also not dragging me around the huge outdoor ring and I expect he'll be more tolerant of other horses in the ring, too- not that he was bad before, but he thought every one of them was his new very best friend and he always wanted to stop for a chat when we passed another horse. I think this was mainly because he didn't have much experience with other horses in the ring, and he's a friendly guy.
Sunday night I had my first fantasy baseball draft and boy, that was FUN! I managed to get all of the players I wanted, too, so that was an added bonus. It stressed me out a lot though because I didn't know what to expect and then there was a clock that was counting down the time and it was very nerve wracking. I am really excited to see how this works and I think it is going to make baseball watching even more fun this summer, because when I can't watch a Cubs game I will have players on other teams that I want to see play, too! David is helping me work through learning it and I think it will be awesome :)
