Winter can be challenging!

Well, it has been awhile since blogging! Winter can sure be a challenge. Last week we got 17 inches and then sub zero temps right after it. didnt go to work on the day it snowed alot and then when i did go to work, it would take 2 hours to get there and then home again!! That gets stressful and tiring. Going either at a crawl or 20 mph. I have a 27 mile trip one way from home to work. Normally it takes from 35-50 minutes depending on how much traffic. And then of course getting hay to barns. but I finally have a nice path! Then its back to normal once again.
Ok, call me stupid. I am getting in another horse tonight. Hard luck case and this horse is not a horse that should be put down. But I really, really promise that I will not take in another horse. I just cant! I owe everyone under the stars and would like to start getting up to date with them. I think i wrote earlier that I got a part time job at Walmart. Well i also got laid off from Walmart! First time in their history of hiring seasonal workers that they laid them off BEFORE Christmas! It figures! HA! Anyhow, only got in 52 hours in 3 weeks, so i did get some money. Then i had to wait for my checks. They sent me a thank you card saying they liked my work and thank you for working (only 3 weeks!). I guess that was nice, but man! If i knew that might happen i would have gotten a different job - now all of the bigger places have hired already for the Christmas season. But I did get another job. I will be working for the guy who supplies my hay! He has graciously let me know that I can work for him on the weekends. I said a big yes! I do appreciate that! he has a big farm and also has Morgans that he trains. So I will be doing the usual, like feeding, watering, turning out, mucking stalls, grooming the horses before they do their training. I love this work. Kind of sucks in the winter time, but as long as I keep active, the cold doesnt bother me too much. And the other plus besides the obvious one of paying off hay bills is that he only lives about 10 minutes from me! And i also would love to see how he trains the Morgans he has! So excited about that. Not excited about 6:30 am! I get up at 6am normally to do my horses to get to work by 8am. Weekends, i actually like to sleep until 6:30 to 7:15 am! Doesnt anyone ever sleep in on weekends??!! HA! Well it will not kill me for sure. And i so appreciate the job! I dont think it will be an all day job either and if I can, I will take at least one nap a weekend! HA! Anyhow, everyone is doing well, keeping warm, eating and being horses, like they should! and Harley eating more! yeah! he still hates me and hates when i adjust his blanket or feel under. He wants to be left alone and mom! I dont need any meds! I hate meds! per Harley. Sorry Harley-boy, you will still get your meds!
I should blog before Christmas! Happy Holidays!
