This place got a makeover in the very long time that I did not log on. Very weird, and I don't like it yet. Remind me to never ever not log on so very unoften. I have over 7,000 deviations to view, and I'm probably just going to end up deleteing them because I'm so lazy.

Granny is leaving. again. for the 4th time this year. The situation with her is an unholy mess, and I'm so tired of it I've been doing everything I can to stay out of the house. Which has meant I've been at the barn most of the time. I clean up a few of their older horses who don't get much attention, ride those that aren't used in lessons very often, and then ride whoever else I want, for as long as I want.

School starts on thursday, and I've got a fairly easy senior year. My family has been nagging me left and right to take calculus, but I'm tired of math, and really don't want to take it any more. But taking it will get them off my back...

Went to the Renaisance Fair yesterday up at Bristol; my aunt, two cousins and one of their frioends was there. the last time I saw that kid was a year and a half ago, and he was barely up to my shoulder. And now he's taller than me by an inch or so. Which made everything a bit weird...Buit it was fun, and my mom made her first purchase in record time-10 minutes to choose from wakling in the door, 3 minutes to finish paying. She normally goes through all the shops first before she buys, but not this time. I got myself another garnet ring-I love garnet a bit too much now-and from them same store as the one I got last year. Nice stuff, and not very expensive, either.

Oh yes, my grandpa was diagnosed with a bladder caner called Urothelial carcinoma plasmacytoid variant, and it's extremly agressive, only about 3% of the urologists can recognize it(so we're told) and he's doing chemo to see if they can shrink the tumors so that they can remove his bladder. He's got another set of chemo starting in two weeks; the last of this set is tomorrow, and then he has a week off. And his financial situation is another big mess. Both my granpdarents are really just screwed up financially right now, and we can't do anything about it.

Speaking of screwed up, I took my first fall off a horse, a 17hh+horse, a little over a month ago. Add in milk at 6 in the monring, no food until 7 saltines at 12:30, a very long hour and a half of tough lesson in a humid arena at 85 degrees what started at 1:15, and then you get a very tired and weak me. I screwed up my back so now I can't lay flat comfortablly, and slid a few feet on my back so I ended up with a pantsfull of sand. It was not fun. Oi. big screen, horrible quality. [link]
