I spent my week and weekend fighting a cold and/or allergies as well as ducking this ridiculous heat we got this past weekend. I wish I was a little more successful on both counts but there’s only so much you can do. Hopefully, this upcoming week I’ll be a little more spritely but this cold thing is going around so good luck to me…

I had a wonderful but exhausting weekend doing horse related things. I might not have much of a brain when I write this so please check back for updates. I also managed to hurt my neck by sitting on the couch so it’s been a great Sunday evening.

This is also my birthday week. I’d say I’m excited but that would be a lie. I have zero plans to do anything other than the usual jazz and that’s fine by me. Maybe when I hit 35 I’ll make a fuss but that’s a few years off so I have time…
