Drive Myself Crazy

So I gained 0.8 this week. Why? Not sure... I had a pretty good week OP, with the exception of Sunday. I ended the week with Flex Points left.  I am however, riding alot more than normal and my legs hurt-- I usually gain a bit the first week I start to work out. At the hospital Tuesday,  they gave me three tabs of Prednisone, which may have something to do with it.

Plan for the fair: I bought FiberOne bars, WW muffins, water, and eggs to hardboil for breakfast. I am planning on picking up some fruit, low-cal bread, and cold cuts tomorrow after I drop off the cats at my parents. It's a trial run for when I move back in; Dad is not exactly happy about having three cats in his house in addition to the dog.

So we will see..

I'm going to be obviously away from my computer this weekend. I hope everyone has a great Labor Day rest! I won't be resting, but I'll be having a great time!

...She got a divorce and a black horse...

This weekend is going to be both joyful and heartbreaking. Each year, in the next town over, there is a large county fair. It is THE social event of the season. As a child, the Fair was the weekend before school began, and you would beg your parents to show off your newest and coolest school clothes. As a teen, the Fair was the time when couples would stroll together, announcing their relationships to the world. As an adult, the Fair was my time to go with Trevor. We would walk around the fair, sampling the foods, playing the games, riding the rides, and looking at all the home improvement vendors and dreaming. It will be the first time since I was 19 that I will be walking around the fair without him.

For me, it's a huge deal. The Fair was one of the happiest times we had together, and I'm not sure how to deal with it. To add insult to injury, Jay will be there-- the Boy Scout troop he is still involved in works as security throughout the day. I'm sure DogFace, knowing I will be there, won't be too far behind. I've already given explicit instructions that she not be allowed NEAR my horse.

For me, the Fair also is the biggest horse show of the season. It is a four day event, and EVERYONE is there. This is the first year that I will be showing my own horse under saddle. After a summer of hard work, it will be a triumph for me to ride him past the judges' booth in front of all the people who told me it was crazy that an intermediate rider own a young horse of his caliber.

Trevor and I raised Magic together. Though my name is only on his papers, Magic is as much Trevor's as mine. I know that no matter how he feels about me, he would be amazingly proud that Magic is here doing what we both dreamed about doing.

I'm toying with the idea of emailing Trevor with an invitation to come down and watch the show, no pressure. However, he is still with his girlfriend, and I'm sure the invitiation won't be welcome.

Thoughts?
