Morning Graze

The attitude among Mathilda’s minions is one of cautious* optimism. For the moment, we are standing down a few DefCon levels. For the moment, no news does not necessarily mean bad news.

(*Because flat-out optimism would be tempting fate. Superstitious? Nous?)

This is how I amuse myself during mare watch. Yes, we have at least that many hoofpicks. We still manage to lose them all. Hence the bright colors for visibility amid floor sweepings.

Reposting old, non-show tweets as an archive. Because if I don’t, data might be lost, and then … data might be lost! When I began, there were 317 tweets, minus the ones already posted from shows. I also skipped the tweets that are notifications of blog posts. Even I’m not that tight.

Opened RS Twitter account. Brilliant idea or time sink?

Gratuitous Kitten Squad dropped off at vet's for snippage. Not predicting a productive day chez moi.

Kitty castrati are home. Owner relieved. Kittens less so.

Nice riding dream. Didn't want to want to wake up. Good to know my mind can do the positive once in a while.

Much rain, dry barn. Is there a nicer sight than content horses?

Lesson today. Video slightly closer to my imagination. Lola's mix tape: walk to The Kinks, trot to Copacabana, canter to Damn Yankees.

Taking a Twitter break until I figure out what to do with it.

— Rodney's Saga (@RodneysSaga) March 22, 2013

Well, that was easy. Most of my first foray into Twitter was using it as an ersatz RSS feed.

Tooth implant socket today. Bleh. Yes, this is the same tooth/tooth space that was fussing me back in the beginning of 2013 [Hi/Safe:Monday/Regular:Dentist]. This is our fourth attempt at an appointment. I can’t decide if good luck means keeping the appointment or having it put off yet again.

HA!

Appointment was changed to Wednesday. I found out late Tuesday. However, the posts were already written as is. I was too busy with sudden onset dental stress to redo them. If all went to plan, I am now moping around the house, feeling pitiful, and halfway to being bionic.
