It’s been a hard couple of days. On Friday I did something incredibly stupid which resulted in my shattering the back glass on my Subaru Outback. I was loading a 27” TV in the back to take it to be recycled, and I thought it was far enough in, but it wasn’t. :/ When I went to close the hatch, the topmost corner of the TV hit the glass and it smashed into a bazillion pieces.  It’s getting fixed on Tuesday but it’s gonna cost $650. :( Completely sucks.

Then today I was out with my horse for the first time in two weeks. I was just sitting on him bareback on the front lawn of the farm, letting him graze, when some yahoo hunters started shooting at deer they’d flushed across some fields, despite being WAYYYY too close to houses and the barns. My horse spooked and spun on one hind foot. I tried to grip him, but I felt my knee give out and down I went. The doc thinks I may have torn a ligament or damaged the cartilage. I have to keep it iced and up for the next few days. :/ It hurts like an S.O.B. :/ *joy*

Just all around feeling down and depressed. My husband is a saint to put up with me, really. There are days when I really wonder why he hasn’t cut his losses and gotten outta here.

I’m searching for the Christmas Spirit, but I think it missed me this year. I keep hoping to smell the pine and feel the bite in the wind, but so far, no go. Mostly I’m just tired.

Maybe I’ll take some more Advil and drink some hot cocoa, then go take a nap. :/
