Today is Monday and I am Tired

I am a good girl and I get a gold star for my Sunday activities.
Sunday, instead of lounging on my couch or going downtown to help Brion, I got in my little Hyundai and hit the road for…. Gainesville.

pause for shudder

Apologies to all my UF graduate friends but ya’ll have terrible taste in universities.

Anyway, the University of Florida has the only copy of the Monticello News on microfilm in the country. And I need it. Need it BAD. So, rather than argue with Interlibrary Loan, I just trucked on down there and spent 5 hours in front of a microfilm reader. The glamorous life of historical research.

The good news is that I actually got some really good sources down and scanned in. I still need to hit about 4 more years which probably means another research trip. I’ll have to make sure I’m up to date with my inoculations. Those Gators carry disease. ;)

On the horse front:
I haven’t really done much more than LONG TROT! Bubba is back in Weak Stifles Boot Camp and that means I’M back in Weak Stifles Boot Camp. We’re slowly but surely legging back up. And of course he’s in much better shape than I am. Stupid naturally athletic horse.

I did lope him through at Evil Twin Farms and o-my-goodness-gracious was it beautiful. And I have got the Itch. Bad.

Not the kind that requires Gold Bond powder.

Next barrel race: April 10th NBHA and BBHA. We’re pulling a double header if I can get an early enough number at the NBHA.
