What just happened?

If you are reading this, I am officially saying “Welcome to my crazy life”. To say that this week has been full of ups and downs would be an understatement. I didn’t blog last week due to the intense Breeders’ Cup festives that had me working crazily on both normal duties and extra articles. On top of that, Nano started so it was full of crazy but not nearly as crazy as the weekend.

The weekend started normal with my usual get up at 6:30ish for work on Saturday. The night before I had spent some extra time out watching the first day of the Breeders’ Cup after work at Keeneland and prepared for the next day of even more Championship races. Within 16 hours of waking up, I was looking for place to move and by Sunday evening, I was out due to a difference of opinions with a roommate.

18 hours after that, I was filling out an application for an apartment and here I sit on Thurday, a little over 24 hours out from signing a lease on said apartment. Yes, it has definitely been a crazy week.

But in addition to the craziness, I have kept myself in the race side of things. On Monday, I went to the Fasig-Tipton night session where I saw some of my favorite racehorses of the last few years. The 2011 Horse of the Year Havre De Grace sold for $10 million and my favorite little trier, Switch, sold for $4.3 million after running third in a Breeders’ Cup race just three days before. Tuesday and Wednesday found me with limited internet and the Keeneland November sale getting over hours before I got off work so I took sort of a “forced” break but I’m back tonight (Thursday) for part of a Keeneland session after work unless they continue going as fast as they are right now.  

This weekend continues the “busyness” that is my life between moving for the second time in five days (and something like the fifth time this year) and work but now that the stress has passed over, I’m finally able to focus again.

Now I just need to find that part time job I told myself I’d get while I’m doing Paulick Report and my new internship during the winter and I will be set!
