Dreaming.In.Reality

We woke up Wednesday July 28th around 4am to get ready to leave to get Flame ready to go. We left shortly before 5am, after a sorta tearful goodbye to my mum and the dog. After getting to the barn, I went to turn on the lights above his stall, picked the wrong switch and scared the piss out of the poor horses at the end of the barn that didn’t know we were there. I gave Flame his breakfast and brushed him up really good.. He had laid down to sleep that night, so he was covered in shavings. So I got him all prettied up while he had his eats. We made sure we had all our stuff ready to go for when Brian showed up with the trailer.

He arrived around 5:30am and we loaded all my stuff into the trailer. When I packed everything up, it seemed like we had SO much, but later in the day, it seemed like so little once it was all put back in a tack locker. When loading Flame he snorted just a tiny bit while getting his shipping boots and crashcap on, but I think he realized that, those things only come on when he’s going somewhere important; like showing etc. When he went to clinic 3 years ago and had a horrible time of it all, he was just shoved quickly into a trailer and hauled off. I was expecting much more of a problem with him because of that. We’ve certainly had enough issues with him since then.

Sunday I went for a walk with the dad and the dog at Kensington Park. It was a good walk, and a nice way to wrap up the trip. I miss being able to take the pooch for a walk whenever I want, plus it’s a good time for my dad and I to just chat and catch up.

To get the full effect, we have to start from Monday July 19. Miss Sarah, after discovering she was pregnant with the baby, stopped dying her hair.. so of course 9 months after that discovery, let’s just say.. this blonde had some serious roots. I asked her if she was colouring her hair, she said yes and I asked to come with her, and to help her pick a colour and do the deed. Well, she did it herself that Monday night. With cheap hairdye. I saw her Tuesday night, for going to the mall to learn makeup tricks at Sephora; she had a small chemical burn on her left temple and her hairline from behind her left ear all down along to the base of her neck was raised and quite pink. No problem. Vitamen E oil, baby shampoo.. it will all be fine by Saturday morning. Boy were we ever wrong.

I have so much to catch up on. I hope I can remember most of it *L* The lack of sleep has made everything a bit jumbled. I suppose I can start withi the last big event I remember which was my sweet Sarah’s wedding. I’ll continue on with more from there..
