This whole week has been over the top busy. Monday my horse got hurt and we had to drive out to make sure he was ok (he was). Tuesday we bought two tons of hay and hauled and stored it in my horse trailer.

Wednesday a friend came over to help us pack... and she did not understand why my daughter kept hinting we should stop. I kept feeding off her energy and low and behold I grabbed a broken bin full of metal rings (for making chainmail) and pulled until it came out from where it was partially stuck under a 50lb roll of fabric... and then was physically done. Ever since then I have been getting these horrible sharp shoooting pains that originate just under where my back is broken down to my toes. They happen about once every five to ten minutes. I was sure that I have strained the broken ribs... but as days go by and I can't lessen this pain with any of my pain meds, I am starting to worry.

Today I left the house for the first time since hurting myself to go out to the horses - only to find that my horse has lost at least 100lbs since I saw him on Tuesday. I rescheduled what he is getting fed which should put him back to gaining weight - I hope.

Tomorrow I have to go back out to the horses to drop off a feeder that will make the new diet feasible for the woman feeding it. I am going to try to ride - we will see what my pain level is.

One of the reasons I have not been around is that I have been horribly bombarded with pop-up ads every time I came here! After much searching, I found the nasty program that had downloaded itself and got it off today!!! So I am back again!!

yadlim - anyone seen the superglue?
