I generally like cabbage rolls, but I find them to be too much effort in general.

It's easier. 5 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment

Rookie Posted September 21 Author Report Share Posted September 21 I've ridden Daisy twice now this week for about 30 mins each time one of my private goals was to ride Daisy by the end of the challenge. After the barn my feet are pretty dead. They seem to recover okay after a day or so. I've decided to try going off the pill to see if it helps with my headaches and so I can get my hormones tested. Honestly if I do have an imbalance I'm not sure if I can afford the ongoing treatment but at least I'll know. I am looking forward to this weekend Winnie and I are going to a dog summer camp thing but just for the day. Then Sunday I'm going to my SILs house and we are doing that tiktok ghost painting challenge. It should be fun. 6 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment

Rookie Posted September 26 Author Report Share Posted September 26 Seeing some of the pictures of me spawned "am I really that big?" feels. I'm also happy to have the pictures though because they are cherished memories now and I rarely get candid pictures of myself with my animals.

Rookie Posted September 27 Author Report Share Posted September 27 I was planning on riding today but Daisy was just put in the big field! So I think I'll just go visit to say hi and then leave her be. I don't think she realizes she's in the big field with grass and friends yet 😂 she went straight for the hay.

Rookie Posted September 27 Author Report Share Posted September 27 Today was a good day. I washed the comforters from our camp bin (plus some other bedding), mowed the lawns, took Winnie on a walk to a new park and we did some training, introduced Poncho to scent detection, visited Daisy, went to Sail to look for a roofbox for the car and beat final fantasy 4. I got 7.8k steps today. 4 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment
Rookie Posted September 28 Author Report Share Posted September 28 I actually wanted to paint which I haven't in awhile. I didn't do much because there's no light in the room I'm in and I had limited space but I did it lol. Just blocking in color and trying to figure out proportions because even with the grid my original drawing was off 😂. Then I had leftover paint so I added in some color blocks on my Winnie painting.

Rookie Posted September 28 Author Report Share Posted September 28 - laundry switched to the dryer - tent folded and put back in its bag - go measure for roofbox - pick up roofbox? - go to Walmart for groceries and camping chairs - try the compression bag for the bedding 1 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment
Rookie Posted October 1 Author Report Share Posted October 1 Got that list all done. Packed and drove to the camping.... and turned around and came home. Love the roof box, it was easy to set up and has more room then I was thinking. Plus I think it looks cool. We just were both disappointed by the campsite/campground. The water wasn't going to be good for fly fishing for trout which is the point of this camping trip. Although the site had a nice view... it was wedged between 2 permanent camper set ups which you could see in your peripherals. There was no privacy and it and it felt like camping in someone's backyard so we decided to just cut our losses and go home since it was so close. So far we don't regret the decision and now we know that campground isn't for us. Yesterday I made fake Thanksgiving dinner and it was delicious ❤️ unfortunately I ended up with a wicked headache in the afternoon which persisted into today. But the food was really good. I had a low mood night with the headache and I was sad/crying because Rook has been struggling to stand up on tile floor and yesterday he got stuck going up the stairs and if I didn't go check on him he could of fell down them. So I was looking up quality of life checklists. I think he still has life left in him but I'm so worried he's going to hurt himself. I did get carpets to put down where he likes to lay down on the tile but he refuses to lie on them end I'm guessing it's because the cool tile feels good. So I just need to help him out when he wants to get up. I also barricaded the stairs because we aren't doing that. Todays been a pretty chill day so far. I'm in a better mood and my headache eventually broke. I've been vacuuming up fur tumbleweeds which makes me always feel so productive. I want to bring Winnie somewhere fun but the sun is bright and I don't trust my headache has completely gone away yet. So my goal for today is to get outside at one point for a walk or to play frisbee and I'd like to paint. 5 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment
Rookie Posted October 3 Author Report Share Posted October 3 I went and saw Daisy today. She has a new boyfriend! And a small herd. I'm happy to see that. Now I need to wait for her to mellow out 😅 she gets a bit herd bound and a bit more unpredictable I've learnt. I still don't have any friends at the new barn but I haven't really seen people consistently. Tonight I made some butternut squash soup which turned out great. And I worked on the dog painting a bit.

Rookie Posted October 3 Author Report Share Posted October 3 Another hot as balls day. I trimmed Daisy's feet today and I am exhausted. The worst part is that I'll need to work on them in a week. They are so long and I have no clue when that happened. Maybe the grass she's on now sped up the growth. Who knows. I'm also trying to find a farrier at my new barn because they would obviously be better at this then me...which should be easy because there's like 3-4 that come but I'm not part of the group chat so I have no clue. I'm close to 5k steps today. I'm hoping I'll get a bit more energy back (and the sun will calm down) then I can take Winnie for a walk.

Rookie Posted October 5 Author Report Share Posted October 5 Today I visited Daisy but omg it's been so hot. We were both just sweating standing around. I made it a short visit. Afterwards I met up with my mom, sister and friend to go apple picking I now have some delicious apples to eat and cook with. I'm surprised I only got 4.9k steps but it's still good. I also did some adulting things I've been meaning to do. - messaged windshield repair shop about getting a chip repaired - emailed vet to refill Winnie's prescription - booked my next car service 3 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment

Rookie Posted October 5 Author Report Share Posted October 5 Went for a walk with Winnie today. It was nice! We found a huge field to explore that was connected to the lake path. We've never been there before. I'm at 4.4k steps. I'm probably not going much else because my feet were tired from yesterday.

Rookie Posted October 12 Author Report Share Posted October 12 The weekend that just passed was Canadian Thanksgiving. I had 2 family turkey dinners and I went to the fall fair. It as a lot of fun but also very tiring. I'm having my first period while off the pill that has been alright except it's so much heavier then when I was on the pill. Which makes me sad but I'm doing it for health reasons. I'll try weighing myself but I doubt I lost the lbs I wanted to. I went a bit crazy with snacking and eating. I really really need to get this under control. On a more positive note, today I had my first lesson at the new barn. It went really well and I'm exhausted from it. My new coach said she's really excited to teach me and thinks Daisy and I make a great team. I scheduled in another lesson for next week. My feet are in rough shape and I'm supposed to go camping this weekend. It's the last camp trip of the year. I'm not 100% sure if we are going. I think I'm going to make an appointment with my doctor then go from there. And as of my other challenge goal of sending out my resume .. I haven't done that yet 😬 I really should though 4 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment
