Thursday and Friday's Missed Post

I am horrible at keeping up with this blog, but I'm trying to get in the swing of things.

Thursday: Stuck in class, work and traffic safety school all day and all night. I had not once stepped out into the decent weather. brutal.

Friday: Saw a car accident just before my doctor's appointment. Two cars had run off the road while trying to avoid hitting each other. They both ended up in ditches on opposite sides of the road from where they were coming. The tow truck couldn't get them out. It was like mother nature was laughing at the booby trap that was the ditches which she had sprung on the two cars. This all took place right outside the Barrington Equine center. The horses had all scattered because of the screaming tires as the two cars crossed paths and fell off the road. I had to take an alternate route - a very dangerous winding road that took me around the back roads of Barrington. Of course when I came around the correct road the cars had been pulled to safety and the way was clear. I was back by the entrance to the Equine Center and it made me want to go horseback riding again. Not that I am a trained horseback rider or do it often, but I have ridden before and have always wanted to do it again. I think that will be my goal this year - to go horseback riding before I graduate. I love the connection one has with the horse. There's such a bond. It's less of riding the horse and having control but relinquishing control or at least sharing it with the animal. Yes, I need to do it again. I just hope I don't find I've become allergic to horses as my mom is.
