break

i went out to the barn last night for the first time in a couple of weeks. i was showing off my camera to the other lady there and she took my picture with one of the horses. it was so cold out. i'd gone out to the king william barn earlier in the day and took pics of the horses out there. i'm glad to be helping again. i also finally got around to bringing my pets to the vets. kitt's annual exam was half a year overdue. and budd's eggs were months overdue. they ended up costing four hundred dollars. budd still has two eggs and they're going to get back to me about what we should do about it. kitt got her senior labs done and i'll hear back soon if anything more needs to be done with her. so they may end up costing even more. good thing i'm getting holiday pay tonight working new year's eve. i had a second christmas this week going shopping with all the gift cards i got for christmas. i got us a much needed vacuum cleaner from kohls. a massage mat for our chair from wal mart. and an indoor/outdoor digital thermometer from home depot. there were such great sales after christmas too. i got some stuff up to half off. dad's retirement party is this weekend. he's worked so hard to support five kids for almost forty years. he deserves the big break.
