Life is also about moving on and that is what it has been like for me lately....Moving on with everything.
First was Christmas. My family was actually nice and there were things that actually went really well. Maybe that relationship will be moving on and upward.
While driving home, my friend and business partner moved the horses back to the old barn. It was a long involved process but it was for the best. The hay was "cow hay" so the hay made the horses loose weight. Only one bale of hay was put out for 10 horses. That is like putting out one bowl of dog food for 10 dogs and saying share it all equally. That just isn't going to happen and some won't get to eat enough hay. We told them about multiple times but no one would listen. They kept threatening to raise the board on different horses when they were "angry". Then telling us that they would never do that. Well, how are we suppose to know that but the threat is just always there and just hanging over our heads. Then there is the "punishment" of my friend's niece for 6 months. She made a mistake, in their eyes, and they told her she couldn't come on the property for over a month. Then she couldn't come back until they talked to her and they took their time for another 3 weeks. Then there were conditions. She wasn't allowed to ride ANY horse, just work with their "crazy" horse they won't even let their daughter work with or ride and another that is my friends that is very young and not broken. She can't ride until the two of them were child safe at a walk, trot, canter, jump for little kids and the one was needle safe for the vet (she rears when you try to give her a shot) all in 4 months which is impossible and they knew it. Finally, after hours of talk we got them to they would "revist" the consequence after a month to see if they MIGHT let up a bit. BUT we are not to tell her. That means there are no guarantees that it would happen. All of this while their child was yelling at me and trying to tell me what to do, which isn't going to happen. And only to make 200 in 4 months. It was just too much stress with all the reason being that it is THEIR PROPERTY AND THEIR RULES. Now with all of this, I have lost my whole summer building a place I will never return to and MOST IMPORTANTLY I have lost some of my best friends and it is way depressing. I have moved on and it is not pleasant but the only thing I could do for the horses.
At school, I had it out with the principal. He came to observe during a test which is hard to see anything about teaching. It was a long conversation but to make it short. He said that things were "ok" between us and he really didn't hate me. Wow that was nice to hear that someone really didn't hate me....lol. I know what he meant but it really was quite funny. So moving on in that relationship and hopefully that one will be better.
The husband has been his normal crazy self. He doesn't know if he is coming or going. I still think he is "bipolar" some days...lol. He can switch his emotions so fast it isn't funny. He will be turning 60 soon so he things everything is changing. Will have to see what that will bring to my life.
I guess that is all for now, I will see what will happen in the future.
