What's Going On

I wish I was in that field right now. Because when I was there, I didn't know half the things I know today, the things that are recently causing me stress. Things in my life, and in the lives of those around me. That picture was taken last Saturday. In four short days, a lot has happened.

As a result, I will not be around very much. Or, as much as I usually am. I have a lot going on and for the first time in a long time, there is not as much time for blogging.

First, I am staying in a nice big house with these two charges. I lived with these cats for two years, as their owner and I were roommates, over 6 years ago.

This one is shy and hides from strangers, but on day one she snuck out from behind the couch, but watches me with caution. I think she remembers my voice.

This one is not shy. He is the life of the party. He is also lazy, moody, and friendly.

It is hot here. I am not used to this kind of heat, my place stays very cool compared to this. I can barely stand to be next to my laptop, as it's heat is just contributing to the overall misery.

So I have been out on the beautiful deck with a view, enjoying the balmy breeze and trying to finish this book, My Sister's Keeper. A friend loaned it to me around the holidays, because the movie is coming out at the end of June and she wants me to see it with her. It's an amazing read but also difficult to get through because of the nature of the material.

The moon is out in the early evening sky. It looks peaceful. I wish I felt peaceful. I just feel tired and stressed. But things will look up, they always do.

Although I'm not wanting to go anywhere near an oven right now, I'm going to make some pasta to go with this cold fried chicken and strawberries and vino.

Or maybe just the cold fried chicken and strawberries will do.

And the vino. One can't forget the vino!

  2. I know what you mean Pony Girl. I wish I was in our pasture with my wife, or even mucking stalls with her. I have been away in Germany now for over 6 months, and it is becoming very stressful for me, but you are right...things always get better.

  12. Pony Girl - Thinking good thoughts for you here. Love up those two kitties and you will find some peace. All animals bring us comfort. We call our cat "our little pony" because when we can't get to the barn we love her up and it is (almost) the same. Take care and good luck with it all!

  15. You sound pained...I hope all resolves itself soon and while it might not be the way you had hoped or prayed, it will come and you will have peace again. My family is finally emerging from a year of pure hell so I know how you feel. It's draining.

    Oh, and finish that book up quick and find something more amusing to read right now. Like the Stephanie Plum books. That's way too heavy.

  17. Pony Girl, so sorry to hear that things are not good in your life right now. Life has a way of doing that to all of us at one time or another. Things will get better; hope it's soon. Just think of your beautiful boy and that will put a smile on your face!
    Hugs to you!

  20. I am sorry to hear of the goings on with you. Your mother is right, things DO happen for a reason. You have a lot of friends parying and thinking of you. Take care.

  21. I've always believed that trials seem to come at the same time--you know, how everyone goes to the cash register at the same time to check out--or into a restaurant to eat--troubles come at the same time, too. But they also pass--usually at the same time as well. ;) Hoping for the best for you today!!!!!!!

  22. Sorry to hear things aren't going so well. Just remember everything happens for a reason! And it's almost summer and sunny out, so it's hard to get too down about much. ;)

    Mmmm...chicken, strawberries, vino, book, deck...perfect evening! Hope you enjoyed.

    Cute kitties too!

  23. Sorry to hear that life is stressful right now. It seems that there is a lot of that going around lately....

    Hey, school is almost out though, right??? That means more time to spend with your sis and My Boy?

    And those strawberries look delish...so does that wine!!! :)

  24. Hey there, Pony Girl. I hope there will be sunnier days ahead. Don't refrain from leaning on family and friends~

  27. So....tell Auntir Rose, whats going on???

  28. i hope everything is ok. It is hard to blog when you are stressed. Just remember that stressed is desserts spelled backwords :)

    I need to get that book! I think it will be a good beach read. Are you enjoying it?

    ReplyDelete
  29. I read that book, pretty good but yeah- an emotional read. Whenever things are tough or I am down I always read something spunky because I find it really helps. I love the Sweet Potato Queens books, positively hysterical. I also like Janet Evanovich's One for the Money series, super funny and a great main character.

    Anyhow, I am not sure what is going on but you're in all of our thoughts and prayers- I am so glad you have your sissy Paint Girl and MyBoy to keep you going.

    Whatever it is, I hope it improves, goes away, heals, or does what you need it to do to go on.

    Ride on cowgirl, you'll be just fine!
