At it again

The suitcase didn't even have time to accumulate dust as it's time to hit the road again.  The other day, my boss asked me if I was still "running a farm" - what with the dog shenanigans and the horse activities - to which I replied "basically yes."  And so the farm must continue running, even while I'm away.

Luckily, Mae is boarded and my trainer always keeps a sharp eye on her, even when I'm in town.  She's been acting weird with the changing weather lately, so I'm a tiny bit worried about what's going on.  "Weird" behavior in this case means lying down in her stall for large portions of the day.  She hasn't been like that since she had her ulcer episode over two years ago.  However she's still eating with a healthy appetite and pooping so who knows what's the matter.  She's also fine - if not a little sluggish - under saddle.  Horses, amirite?

The dog will be hanging out with Bryan during the week.  Bryan will likely spend the majority of that time fighting to keep Bowie from tearing up our fresh sod.  I ordered some patio furniture, which should arrive while I'm gone.  Spring is late to Texas, which means its been chilly and the bugs are still nonexistent.  They can stay gone, as far as I'm concerned.  I'm sure as soon as we get the patio furniture up, we'll be able to enjoy it for one whole day before the mosquitoes decide to make our backyard into their camping ground again.

Traveling is a funny thing, so glamorous when you're younger and plain exhausting now.  Between my work travel and Bryan's job as a pilot, being on the road is more of a steady state than sitting around at home.  The unpredictability of it all also makes it a scheduling nightmare.  However, it does make the time just sitting around and hanging out at home together much more valuable.

Hug your fur family for me - I can't wait to go home and do the same with mine.
