Weekly Update

[fuzzyred]

This week has been pretty good. I had a vacation day yeyserday and have all of next week off, so that will be super nice. I didn't cut the grass or do any edits, but I did make a breakfast pizza for dinner yesterday (delicious!) and my dad is working on making me recycle box covers (finally) so it's been ok.

I'm hoping to be able to use my vacation to relax, stain a bunch of wooden objects, do some yard and housework, and get a pile of editing and indexing done. We'll see how it goes, but I'm hopeful.

In other news, I kind of have a blind date in about half an hour? He is the cousin of one of my managers (which strikes me as slightly off, not sure my manager really should have hooled us up), older than me, has a good job and wants a family apparently. I'm not sure how this is going to go but I figured I'd at least give it a shot. I'm not the best at strangers, or conversations, or commitments, on top of all my slightly left of normal personal interests (kink/sex wise) so I don't know if we'll click, but it shouldn't be a disaster. I hope.

Good luck!

Thanks!

It went pretty well. Conversation was a little stilted at timed but otherwise ok. Not sure I'm interested in a relationship though. It seems like friendship might be better suited.

I did get to ride his Harley though! First time on a bike was pretty fun, though I want to go riding horses now. 😆

You know I ride, right? :) (I used to have one like the icon... now I have a Vulcan, which looks like a Hawg but is made in Japan and is considerably quieter... )

I think I'd like to ride a carbon-based horse (as opposed to iron ones), if I could find something sturdy enough to suit me... bear may be short, but he is *round*... Morgan or Fresian or the like...

Re: Thanks!

Yes, I remember you saying that. I see why you like it. :)

I've enjoyed my experiences with carbon based horses so far. I think you'd like it, if you found an appropriate match.

Yay for potential new friends... :) glad that it went well.

Now I want to go to the barn even though I can't ride yet. The therapy horse would be so fun to hang with right now.

Glad you had fun on a Harley!

Re: Thanks!

:) I'm glad too, even though I'm uncertain about the next steps.

I enjoy being around horses too, even if I'm not riding. I hope you have a chance to see them soon.

Ya, it was definitely new, but it was a lot of fun, and less scary than I thought it would be.

It's the noise factor for me that does it, it's way too loud. Physically painfully loud on a motorcycle.

Horses don't make engine noises, it's just better for me!

Re: Thanks!

I can understand that. I have that problem with passing vehicles sometimes; there are certain cars and motorcycles that really hurt my ears when the owners rev the engines. I think in my case it has a little more to do with frequency than with actual loudness, but sometimes sheer noise level will do it too. This bike was actually ok though. :)

Indeed, horses do not make engine noises and in fact are fairly quiet overall. Other benefits include not being in traffic with very little protection, and the movement of the horse is supposed to be good for bodies too. Wishing you time for horses soon. :)
