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 Unpublished, but a writer just the same.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.

Busy = tired

I have been a very busy Pam as of late. Last weekend was our fabulous Adults in Pony Club weekend that I organized for, well, adults in pony club to have fun. We went to Cocktails and Creations, rode the train, went out to dinner and went on a trail ride with brunch (including mimosas.)





It was an awesome weekend, but holy crap was I tired at the end. When I got to the trail head with Banana I announced my brain was shut off and someone else would have to make the decisions. When I got home I was so tired I tripped over the 4" lip on the shower and banged into the toilet. My knee has an impressive bruise.

As soon as the weekend was over, despite it being my birthday, I had to somehow schedule next weekend's dressage show. 62 rides. Holy crap. It's completely unprecedented for us. I worked it out and then today was told with this many riders I need to accommodate them less and the judge's sanity more. Would have been nice if I'd been told this two days ago. Today I assigned numbers, printed the tests, put the labels on, put them in order...

Now I'm waiting for H/J entries to roll in for Sunday. Knowing people, I'll get most of them Saturday, despite there being a late fee after tomorrow.

Also, I picked up the club's new hats and the Horsemasters shirts on Friday when I went to C&C since I was downtown. The bumperstickers and magnets got here yesterday as well as our kaleidoscope (I want to use that word but I'm not sure it's really the right one) of new ribbons.


School restarts on Friday. This term I have orthopedics, or as those brits say, orthopaedics. I don't know whether I'm excited or not. I think I'm too darn tired to have an opinion at present.
