Day One.

This title is actually very misleading.
This isnt actually day one.
However, it is Sunday night of my first Half-Week in Longview, 
which is similar. 
Not really, 
But whateva.
I do what I want.

(and cue refrence...)

Anyway, this is definitely what I should be doing this summer.
I'm loving it.

When I first left my boys here last friday, the gravity of coming here for the summer kind of settled on me a little bit,
I'm about to leave my family for the summer,
This is my first summer away from home,
I have no friends for 3 hours from here in any direction,
I dont know anyone here,
East Texas is seriously hotter than any other part of texas-- seriously. 107 last week people.
And, finally, I dont know any of the radio stations here,
or restaraunts.

After being slightly unsettled, 
I wont use the words "suddenly terrified and more than slightly overwhelmed",
I returned my original consensus that this is where I need to be.
And is completely is.

Thursday I worked on Monica's tack room, And I can hardly remember what else the day was so full.

Friday I finished cleaning the tack room at the barn. 

Brushed hair that was longer and thicker than anything I have ever brushed, including my own
Zues, Monica's Friesian stallion and his incredible hair!


That mane is thick enough that I could literally stand inside it and you wouldn't see my face.

Thickest tail ever


Zues saying hello. I love this guy already, you'd never know he's a stallion, calm as can be.



Shaved a dog, it was both of our first times for that...
Dixie trying to butter me up before I turned on the clippers...

Dixie going dead weight on me thinking I wont be able to shave a limp dog...

And Dixie trying to run after I was able to shave a limp dog..

The Carnage. 





and bathed Yorkies.


Anyway.
Consider that a lazy update so it looks like I'm actually doing something.

I feel like I should take a moment reassure you that I'm going to post something that is not equivalent to a children's book relatively soon,
to thrill you with my wit and charm
and excite your mind.


eh maybe.
