A Note About This Blog

I used to be a writer. Unpublished, but a writer just the same. I have several 100,000 word novels sitting on my hard drive. Then I fell off a horse and got a concussion that scrambled my brains really good (yes, I was wearing a helmet.) After that forming a written sentence was very difficult for quite some time. It's still difficult, but at least now generally the sentence structure isn't egregiously flawed. Verbally and written wrong words pop in, I switch words around, and sometimes I make no sense at all. It isn't because I don't have knowledge of grammar and punctuation, but my brain simply can't do it sometimes. Reading this blog you're accepting that there's going to be things that look like typos or make no sense. It's not because I don't proofread, it's because my damaged brain doesn't see what's wrong. I try my best, but things will slip through. I don't need them pointed out, I know they're there, but if I continued to worry about them I wouldn't write at all. I didn't for quite some time. It's painful as a past master of words to use them so badly, but fortunately the words don't seem to mind.

Argh! Boots

I have been having the hardest time finding boots. I loved the Tredstep Donatellos last summer, until the leather started ripping out from the stitching. I tried on a bunch of boots at a tack shop and wasn't really happy with any of them. So I decided to order Donatellos again in a medium calf size and had a hard time zipping them up. Got the larger size (wide.) I can zip them up, but I can also fit my hand down in them. Nice if they were pull on, highly annoying in a zippered boot. They do not make my legs look at all elegant.

I'm wondering if the zippers on the medium calf were having issues and that maybe they really did fit. But now I'm remembering how well the Ariat Volants with the front zip fit. I talked myself out of them because the Donatellos were cheaper and fit perfectly decently. But now they don't. Of course the nearest tack shop is 4 hours away so I'm doing this all by mail. Argh!
