Road Trip Thoughts

First of all, my horse is amazing. We just finished up a two and a half day 1,700 mile road trip and there was no fuss at all on her end. Since she has only been hauled about five miles since March of 2010 (and that was t0 the vet three weeks ago to get her travel papers), I was expecting at least some fuss. But even when she had to sit in the trailer for four hours while we got a blow out repaired, we didn't know she was there other than her sticking out her head at the tire shop to watch everything going on.

Sure, we had a small trailer loading issue the next day (if you had to stand in a trailer for 15 hours straight then just get an eight hour break before getting back in, you'd probably be mad), but after a little tap on the butt from the whip, she jumped right in. I was expecting major problems loading due to her very inconsistent trailering past but once again this horse surprises me.

I really can't wait to see what she does when I actually get to spend some time on her. She will get a few days off to acclimate to the weather and elevation but I'm hoping to get on her later this week just to get her out of her small pen and let her chill out while exploring more of her surroundings.

Now on to the non-horse stuff.

I am finally moved into my room, although there is a ton of unpacking to do. I did get a makeshift dresser built (tuberwear drawers come in handy) and my book case up (although, I need to put more books on it) but I still need a desk and to get my school stuff unpacked. I can't really unpack until I have a desk, so everything is a bit on hold right now. At the same time, I don't feel like writing without a desk (I know, bad me), so that desk is super important. Maybe I'll put that on my list for tomorrow.

In good writing news, I have a new story kind of outlined so at least that's something. Well that's about all I have to say tonight so good bye non-existent readers. Enjoy the last week of summer break (unless you work or started school today. In that case, I'm sorry).
