Went ponying this weekend which was fun. Also caught a cold this weekend which is less fun because I'm now sick as a dog, running a fever, splendid headache, my face is completely clogged up with snot and other iquids that should not be in my face. My throat is sore I have pretty much no voice at all anymore and have already gone through 4 packs of tissues in just the last hour and 15 minutes. I had no sleep friday due to upcoming sickness and stress-related brain activity that last until deep in the night. Then had to be up by 7:30 n saturday so I think all in all I got 2 hours of sleep or so. Then saturday was spend mucking out stables and catching horses nad overall gettign sore and muscle achy which did not benefit my growing cold. saturday evening I was a wreck and just as I was about to head off to bed we were chartered ot catch this stuid ridiculously annoying mare who had gottne herself trashed and kicked through the water-y bit lining her pasture by the stallion. So we did some emergency first aid for her and she thanked me by squishing me against a wall once and ripping off the side of my ring finger. I bled like a pig. Then we put her away so I was finaly in bed by 23:30 despite being a complete wreck.

Then of course because of me living in a different time zone usually I had isabelgou text messaging me for about half an hour whihc got me so much awake again that I couldn't sleep so I spend the next two hours or so talking with my friend in the dark room (yes, just talk... ) then we finally both went comatose when it was around 2am, BUT oh the joys of sleeping in a farm house... 5:30 - GOAT MILKING! NO, I didn't help but it was enough to wake me up briefly considering Henk came charging out the door next to ours and the generator powering up and all that fun stuff. Then the rooster started crowing that HURRAH it was orning. I managed ot put all the behind me and go back to sleep. Then someone let my dog out of the saloon so she spend about an hour and a half or so scratching at the various doors of our room until finally at 7:15 we could now longer take it and got up.

Needless to say I was pretty hung over, sore form the work the previous day.. so I took a hot hot shower with Winnie the Pooh which was good and made me feel somewhat like a human again. So then we went out into the barn at 8:30-ish and did some more cleaning uppage and mare grooming and foal pretty-fying for the people that were gonna come and poke them that day. Spend the rest of the day trying to stay warm and riding in the rain and wind which I can tel you now is not beneficial to a cold. If I wasn't riding I was either tring to wamr up next ot the woodstove or entertaining people and trying to convince them to buy our horses. Despite hte shit weather there was quite a few people.
Then isabelgou came by but I didn't see her much and then she went again and I had to explain to everyone I didn't know what was wrong with her. I have now made it my personal mission to find out what was wrong with her so I can put the ranch owners and other firend at ease that Ratgirl is alright and not angry at them. Sunday evening I was more dead than before and got to wrestle with a 3 month old filly (as in; a young baby horse). She too was sick and needed ot get some medicine down her throat and a shot in her butt. So I thought I'd park her against a wall, hold her and then HEnk could medicate her but Henk ha other plans and tried ot just dazzle her with his looks and wit... that failed os filly went beserk and came up and toppled over dragging me and Henk with her. Got a lovely purple bruise on my knee again because of her trashing hooves. Got a lovely purple bruise on my upperarm from Henk then we were gonna BBQ, thank god for old cow barns because then you can BBQ in the barn and the smoke will just go up out through the roof while you're still dry. Not so warm though andwith a bit of a beginning fever I was frozen in no time and no amoutn of hot food and hot coco could wamr me up again. I only got wamr again when we got in the car ot go home nad I turned it into a swedish steam room with my winter coart zipped up to my nose.

Got home, crashed in bed, attempted ot study for my exams, failed and passed out. Got up around 3am because the dog really REALLY had to pee. Then crashed nad passed out again.

On top of all that fun stuff, I have exams today! Just did french which went reasonably well considering I feel like a only zombies should ever feel, pretty sure I did alright, fairly sure I didn't fuck up enough to ruin my grade average. I reckon french is in zee bag.
Have biology in two hours and I just finished studying. I think this is honestly the first time in my life I've studied for biology. But I think I covered everything. I'm affraid ot look at my books because then undoubtedly I'll feel unprepared and drive myself crazy before long.

Basically I'm doing the last exams on Red Bull, aspirine and candies for my throat. Oh and let's not forget my infected finger on my left hand which is incidentally the hand with which i write. Aren't I just in perfect shape for the most important exam of the year? 8D

So after exam my main priority is sleep. Oh and find out what is/was wrong with isabelgou/Ratgirl... x_X
Yes, long post is long. No, I don't wanna make a cut because I'm lazy and sick and my head is about to explode over the screen.

TGIO!
