Wow, don't blame you for being shaken up! I would be if that happened to me. You're right though, sounds like the cop was being a bit stupid. I know what you mean about developments of new houses going up so quickly. When I moved in to my house I'm in at the moment (over 11 years ago) the rest of the site was still a building site. Me and my sister had to be really careful when we were out playing because, like you said, there was a lot of debris around. It all went up so quickly. The estate must have doubled in just a few weeks. When we first saw the house it was only 6 bricks high, literaly! And we moved in about 4 weeks later.
...took my rabbit to the vet for his check up. He's been given the all clear now so he should be fine for about a year before his teeth need sorting again.
Why is it everything happens at the same time? My rabbit needed the vet last week, over the weekend my watch broke and so did my dvd recorder that I've only had since Christmas and today I found out that my car needs work done and I can't drive it until its fixed! Grr.
On a good note, I got my blood test results and found out I don't, thankfully, have Glandular fever just a really bad viral infection that isn't helped by antibiotics. So I'm going to be ill for a few weeks rather than months.

Thanks for the offer Audrey! I would love you to do it. I am still writing it, i need to write the ending but i am pretty close to that. And your story is something. And the movie is really good, if you get a chance to see it.
And Cem i don't know why everything is happening at the same time. But sometimes it does seem that bad things don't come in one, but believe me sometimes something good came come out of bad. And that is great news that don't have Glandular fever! And i hope you get better soon! And i am happy to hear that you bunny is doing better.
...Once again did nothing, you will hear that a lot from me for a while, for a few weeks (Next week and in two weeks.) I am going to be stuck at home bored, but i plan to go see the horses a lot more then i have been. Got some new clothing for camping, and one of those halloween things that you put on her head that makes you look like you have a knife though you head, i love it and i am planning some pranks with it. And i went to class, then i came home. And right now i am watching a movie (I love my laptop)

Yesterday I was feeling a little better and went to the licencing cerimony for the new vicar at my chuch. It was actually really good fun and I was able to catch up with a load of friends I haven't seen all summer which was really good.
...realised that last night took a lot more out of me than I thought it would. So I was feeling pretty rubbish all day. But I went to my youth groups first social of the school year anyway, my first as a leader, which was strange! But it was pretty good. It was completely exhausting and I will really be paying for it tomorrow but it was nice to sit and chat with people. I'm also feeling very frustrated with the serious limits of my illness at the moment. Right now it means I can't ride because I'm not well enough which is getting me down more than anything else. Being around horses is what keeps me sane. Sigh.

...have watched the Formula 1 Grand Prix and messed around on the internet. Thats it. I'm going out to church tonight and will be at my first Mettle Sunday youth group as a leader which will be interesting. Then I'm off to the pub (which is pretty much just across the road from where my youth group meets) to join my friends for a much needed chat. Should be a good night.

Sounds fun to me. I have been busy. I read the Heartland book in a little over a day, it was okay i think it was better then BtH.
...I went out to a pancake breakfast, then had to go get flea stuff for my dog (My dog and all four cats have fleas, and it is a huge pain). And pretty soon i am going to start making cookies for this picnic later. And this week i am going to be stuck at my house for most of the week, so i am going to go hang out with horses and watch movies.

...have once more done very little. Life is very, very dull when your to ill to go out for more than an hour and even that wears you out! I'm fed up of staying home with nothing to do. Sigh. Oh well, tomorrow I get to pack all my stuff up so it can be moved in to various other rooms in the house so my room can be repainted. Its gonna take about a week before my room is done cbecause I can't do much at a time but it will be good once its done.

I so know that feeling Cem, right now my mom and brother are taking a class about an hour away from here, and they are the only two that can drive. So i am going to be stuck at home till Friday evening, and then in 2 weeks i have to deal with it again Gr. And getting out of my house is the one thing that really helps me not deal with my life, because i go crazy when i am stuck at home and it does not help that i have been dealing with so much and you guys feel like the only people i can talk to because no one else cares. But it does help that i can walk up and see the horses but only if no one else is there. My friend who place it is and i are not really talking lately, because she is so busy with college to e-mail me, and when i do see her my brother is also there and is talking to her so i don't get to really talk to her, plus she will say she is going to do something (Like she said two weeks ago that this week while my mom and brother are not around, maybe we would get together and get me to ride for the first time over a month. Yet she has side nothing to me about it.) And ends up not doing it. Grrr, you know how people say friends are there to help us? Well it seems to me that all my friends (Other then you guys) End up hurting me more then helping me. Why is that?
What color are you going to paint it?
...Hung out and watched two movies Step Up (Which i have seen before but it was on) And A Walk to Remember. And i also walked up to my friends house twice, and it about a mile away. So i am tired, and my ankle was killing me on my way up there.
Also as of this evening the cord to charge my computer battery is just about dead it sort of works, but i don't trust it so i have to stay in the room and i have to keep on moving it around to make it work. And plus the only place in town that i think i could get a new one closes before my mom would get home. So i can't get to that store till about Friday if i am lucky, and if i order it online it takes like a week. So i am a little pissed, But thankfully my mom has the same kind of computer and she told me that i can use her's while she is at her class. So yeah, i might not be on much till this is fixed.
So yeah that is my rant this evening, and trust me there is more to this whole rant that i am keeping out from this post, that i know i am going to post in my blog before long tonight. Sorry for it, i just need to get it out.

Anytime eaty, rant as much as you want, I'll always read it all. I'm sorry things are rough for you at the moment too. Life is just no fun when your stuck inside the same four walls for days at a time! Its going to be Friday night before I get to go out and do something different too.
I'm painting my room a deep red and a deep teal-ish blue. I'll try and get some pictures up on here when its done so you can see, its so hard to know what the colors are with out seeing them as there are so many colours out there! lol.

Im sorry I couldnt get on sooner to reply - you all have so much going on in your lives its hard to keep up!  Cem - Im glad you dont have Glandular...that would have been awful to be sick for so long. Im sorry you cant ride right now. I know the feeling and it absolutly sucks. I cant wait to see some pictures of your room once it is painted! Eaty - PM with your story and I'd love to read it over whenever you are ready. Im glad you are getting to see the horses more lately. I have yet to read the Heartland book (BtH or the new one) but I dont actually have that much time to read for fun anymore. Junior year is a ton of work and its only the first two weeks of school. Luckily, today is a Jewish holiday so we dont have school. Lately, everything feels different, like im in some sort of dream or living someone else's life. Today, my mom told me that we arent going to lease Stanley anymore becasue someone wanted to buy him. I called his owner to see if I knew the person who was going to buy him and ask some information about them, and he said that as far as he knew, no one was looking to buy Stanley and that it was really a shame we werent continuing with him. Basically, my mom lied to me and while I have no problems if she said that I didnt have time to ride another horse (which is true, I usually dont finish up at the barn till seven most weekday and I dont get to bed until midnight, waking up at five to help at the barn before school), I really wish she hadnt lied about why we couldnt keep on with Stanley. I hadnt really shown him since mid-summer, so I can understand if she thought it wasnt worth it anymore to have another horse to work with, but still. Anyway, he's leaving by the end of the month. My sister left for college and didnt take a horse with her, but she says she might come back over thanksgiving and bring a horse with her back (probably my mom's horse Damien, seeing as my mother flat out refuses to ride another horse) for the inter-collegiate program and such. Anyway, it would be one less horse for me to worry about with school and all. I know it sounds sad to put it like that, but its what its truly come down to. We have a couple of neighborhood kids that help with the stalls now every morning, so we dont have to worry about that, and our barn manager Maureen has been really really great about getting the horses turned out, and a lot of the boarders have been pitching in, but im worried about what happens when the boarders go back to school now that its fall, or the neighborhood kids dont walk over to the barn in the morning when it gets colder. Wow, thats a pretty long rant. Thanks for listening to my worries, i feel better now that Ive gotten it all out. Anyway, I think im going to go into town for a bit because we are running low on a few things, and ususally my mom takes care of them, but lately I begin to wonder if she is ever going to come around. I guess I just have to give her space and support her however I can. Meanwhile, the horses still need their supplements, so off to the store I go! |

No problem Audrey, we are here for you and will always read your rants. And it sounds hard over there, i wish things were going better. And i really hope your mom gets back into to things, but i know that sometimes it takes a while to get back ino things you love when it has hurt you before. And when i am done writing it i will PM it to you (I had it written, then i was re-reading it when i decided to write a whole new ending and i am still working on it.)
And Cem i can't wait to see you pictures of you room. Sounds amazing! And i know what you mean about there being so many colors!! It took me a while to pick two colors of blue for my room. And thanks for what you said.
And i swear you two write longer rants then me. Today my only plan is to call a friend later and talk to another one online. And i might walk up and see the horses later, but i don't know last time i walked up a killed my ankle.

I'm glad the rant helped a little Audrey. They usually help me too. I'm sorry things are pretty rough for you at the moment, I hope things start to pick up soon. Like eaty said, we're here for you and more than happy to read your rants.
...haven't really done anything yet today. But I'm going to tidy some stuff up in my room in a bit and start moving loads of stuuf to other places so I can start painting soon. Actually probably the beginning of next week, its the European three day eventing championships and for once most of it is being shown live on TV all weekend so I'll be watching that.

...spent about 4 and a half hours sat waiting to see a doctor in the eye hospital, only to be told its the same infection I had a year ago and to be out back on what I had then. Which means spending 3 months on tablets and having to use two different eye ointments. Grr.
I also bought New Moon by Stephenie Meyer and Just Listen by Sarah Dessen. And fingers crossed two books I ordered last week (A Winter's Gift by Lauren Brooke and Guyaholic by Carolyn Mackler) should turn up tomorrow so I'm seriously torn between spending the week reading or painting my room!

Awesome that you got New Moon, i just got done re-reading it the other day.
...Went to the doctors with my mom, she had to get some shots. And did some shopping, then went to class which was fun because 7 years ago yesterday was the day i started fencing where i met my great friend that i am still friends with. And after class we had a tiny bit of a party which was fun. I just got home from that.
Today i also started a new book, Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind, it is part of the Sword of Truth books. My family love them and have been reading them for years but they thought i was to young to read it before, but they think i am old enough now to read it so i started it today. Has anyone else read these books?

okay updates in a minute, but I have to get this out first! I recieved an email from an old friend and she told me to go to this site, and I wont ruin anything for anyone, but its HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you do: www.cbc.ca/heartland/ okay so the URL kinda gives away what its about...but AHHH I screamed for about ten minutes when I found this!!!! And look at Ty!!! Okay so back to life... Cem - im sorry about your eye. Infections can be really painful. It sounds like you have some good books to get you through it though! Sarah Dessen is one of my favorite authors. Ive read all of her books, and Just Listen is probably my number one. Eaty - Its really good to hear that you and your friend are still together after 7 years! I wish I had friends that stuck with me after 7 years. I suppose I do have some friends from way back when, but none from that long ago that im that close with. thanks for everyone support. Things seem to be getting better daily, but I think the main turnaround was when Stanley left (two days ago, but its okay because the man said I could come ride him whenever I wanted until he was sold) and my mom realized how much it was hurting me. We basically had this very long talk about things, and since then she has made a small effort to get back into the barn and her horses. I think she really missed it and Im sure it will only take a moment in the saddle for it to come rushing back to her. Anyway, the major clue was this morning when my mom brought up Halloween and what time everyone should come over. See, at our barn, Halloween is this huge party all day. When we were younger, my mom used to pull us out of school early and then we would go to this costume halloween themed show that our pony club hosted every year, and we'd go paint the ponies and dress up in silly costumes and do relay races with all the kids from our pony club. We'd have a big Halloween party afterwards and pig out of pizza and stuff, and then as soon as it got dark, we'd mount up and go trick or treating. Anyway, it was always a lot of fun, but I didnt go the past year becasue Pierre was sick, and the year before that I had a test and couldnt leave school early, so I missed out on most of the show. Anyway, this year, my mom was talking about hosting it at our barn, which would be super awesome because of course I'd HAVE to miss classes to go help out...or just eat the candy and have fun at the party. Anyway, its a huge deal for me, even if it seems silly, becasue it means my mom is getting back into the barn and such. Well I guess its sort of lame, but its fun to dress up and go crazy and ride up to people's front doors and stuff. |
