My lord I accomplished things!

Since I was home last night for the second time in a row since god knows how long, I was actually able to do things. I did some wash, folded clothes, OMG FINALLY MOPPED THE KITCHEN FLOOR. Sorry, you can tell I'm a little excited about that? I was also able to finally get the kitchen squeeky clean, instead of my halfass cleaning. It's amazing what happens when a.) your not completely drained and b.) you have some time.

Fish update! Alright so I know I've never talked about my fish, in fact 2 months ago I was sick of the tank. Since I couldn't get it sold I decided to get just 2 fish, a white oscar and a black one. The black one died :( I'm pretty sure one of the two africans left gave him a hard time. I'm currently looking for another large oscar to put in there with the white one. It's the only way they have a chance. I need to get rid of my African's too but am not sure where in world to put them. Hmmm I need to call and see if anyone will trade me.

I'm also very optimistic about tonight with Dodge. Walk, walk, walk. Then woah. Since she almost has walk down pat I feel I can start her woah. I'm also going to switch her to the curb bit and see how she likes it. I know I will feel better to not be yanking every five minutes on her mouth. (well not yanking, I just don't direct rein with as much ease as indirect) If anything I'll put her back in the Tom Thumb. I don't want to, but she was ridden in one for over 15 years..... it may be easier to give into it. I dunno.

My goals for Dodge? Just be able to do anything with her. I want a trusty horse to jump up on anytime and ride anywhere. Right now I'm lucky to have 5 focused minutes from her. Sigh. Nobody told me horse ownership was like this.

I also ordered her a new blanket yesterday since the first one is too big, hopefully this one will fit just right. I also ordered a riding crop, not for riding but for discipline. Honestly I never used one till the other day when she did her whole "I am not going to walk" thing. I like it for a quick easy discipline with her. I'm not beating her at all with it, just getting her focus back onto me.

I am also hoping my BO will be there tonight so I can ask her to help me with Dodge, or go on a short ride with me. I dunno.
