Still alive
Yes, I am still alive, just really, really busy. I know when I start getting phone calls and emails that I really need to post something.
Coronation went off fairly well, dispite the lack of horses. I got some nice compliments on how the day went, and some of the innovative things we tried.
My weight was down to 124.5, so I am getting closer to my goal. I have been to the gym slightly more often recently and will try to keep it up. Dave has me do some wicked workouts. I love it, even if I am sore the next couple of days.
My Sensorial album was turned in and approved and I took my Sensorial practical exam and passed. I had to demontrate the presentation for the Constructive Triangle Box and the Trinomial Cube. Now I am worknig hard on my Practical Life Album. The exam will be the first weekend in June.
Last week I went to Rochester for their fencing practice. It was a fun practice and we had a bearpit at the end. I stayed in the middle the longest of anyone, defeating everyone else for a full round and then gettting back to the middle the next time I fought and staying there through another round when everyone else was too tired to continue. On Wednesday there was a tourney at the local practice. It was round robin format with 5 fencers. Each fencer faced each of the other fencers 3 times. I had 8 wins out of 12 bouts and was the winner.
On Thursday I attended the Knitters Guild auction, and while there was not as much as interested me in the past I did make a few purchases. I will get some pictures taken and up in the next few days. I am making slow progress on my March knee socks, yes, I am that far behind. The heel did not work as written, so in addition to being short on time, I had to stop and think about how I wanted to do the heel. Then rip out and reknit. I am half way through the foot on the 2nd sock, but have to rip back the first one and redo the heel and foot.
Pansy has had some knee issues, so I was hand walking her for a couple of weeks. I rode her yesterday and she seems better. She is in season right now which makes life in a barn with 2 stallions interesting. I have started riding Utah, one of the horses Marieke is training for sale. I will be riding him this weekend in a clinic with Loess Corsel.
I will try to be better about posting. I do have thoughts to share, just no time to sit and write them down.
nice to see post, young lady.
