Life has been lifing like never before!

 I want to start off by saying my health journey since July had been interesting, but fruitful. I’m now on a daily migraine medication and have a breakthrough that is working. I lost 20 pounds with E. Coli. 10 out of 10 do not recommend but I’m thankful for the weight loss.! I’m back to where I was when I was riding Lynx! I have gained new students for my lesson program. My horse trailer got a reboot and I love it! I will have to find a place to go with it just to enjoy it! See, it had storm damage so I decided to reinvest in it because it’s the perfect size for me and I love it. But it needed things. It got a poly coat on the roof. 15 year leak proof warranty! Bar M Coatings did a great job! Tell them I sent you! It got cabinets! Over the couch and in the bed area! I have room for my stuff! It now has a fridge too! I also had the rubber flooring that seals the aluminum done in the horse and living area! Absolutely love it! Lots of little things that just needed fixing. It’s home and its maiden voyage was to the vet with 3 geldings to get their coggins tests and to get Bob and Whiskey moving better. All I have to say is OUCH to that vet bill.  It should be worth it! 

I have had some other interesting things going on too! Duke is doing good with Dock Diving! I’m meeting new people and finding out who my friends are in the process. I’m learning that the friends that are happy when I’m happy are awesome! I love to cheer them on ad well! Sure beats a toxic friendship. It’s nice to have a handful of folks I can call on and they can call on me! Dock Diving and agility for Duke is going well and I look forward to competing in those things in the future! 

Back to the horses. Today we had a big vet trip. It’s been a hot minute since I have invested in the performance of my horses other than feed and feet! Praying that they are happy now! However, I realize that now I need to start riding again! Lynx is still chronic and light duty. Bob and Whiskey will be my main rides. It’s time. They also got their feet done today. So Sunday, they should be ready to roll! Of course my hip is not happy about this. I’m not sure my hip will ever be happy again. My brain will love it though! I need to ride! I plan to start working Whiskey down good before swinging a leg on him. Bob also needs a warm up before riding but he is so sweet. It’s going to be nice! Then to decided what I want to do with them. Like what is my riding identity now? Both are cow horses so perhaps I will work towards sorting. For right now, I’m going to work towards ride. 

My kiddo is playing football and his team is ranked first right now! He just finished up summer baseball! He had a cross country competition today. He is doing good in school and in sports! My hubby and I just celebrated 17 years of marriage and on October 29th, 25 years together! We plan to have a date night soon enough! So for the Myers Mini Ranch, we are doing good! By God’s Grace and Glory, we shall live happily ever after!
