In No Words Or Less
A life with horses and photographyArchive for January, 2006
Waiting sucks.
So, finally, i psyched myself up enough to fly.
And then yesterday happened.
friday the 13th.
I guess it was pretty mild, it could have been worse. At least the aircon didn’t go while we were FLYING. Or any of the other systems. But standing around in limbo from 7pm till 1am is not a fun thing. So BA are flying in a new plane from the UK. It should be here around noon, apparently. I just called the BA flight line, and it’s busy. Funny that.
*sigh*
And M isn’t online and hasn’t even sent me a mail to ask what’s happening.
So now i’m worried.
Am i too much trouble now?

Out and about
Even though it was windy and hot today, Jamz and I braved it all for a ride.
Jamz even decided to try Catch out, to see if she could handle him, to ride him while I’m away.
I rode the Ex-monster and even with their competitive streaks and silly moments, we actually had a really good ride. Jamz handled Catch well and was quite comfortable on him by the time we turned for home. Of course, it could have been the full dose of Rescue I made her take before we left…
But it turned out good, and that’s all that matters. I can now rest easy and enjoy my holiday, knowing that Jamz will be able to keep all 3 horses in exercise.
Oh! I created a couple of January 2006 calendar pages, featuring different horses and left them at Cathy’s shop on Friday. She called to say that the response was highly enthusiastic and positive… so I’m going to work on that this week, and when I get back from the U.S.
Hopefully this will be the income generator I need, especially during the off season when there are no shows to go to.
I’m actually really excited about it.
Leanne ordered some more prints (that she seems to have missed out on when I gave her the sample sheet) and she also wants a calendar of Imp – but since I don’t have many photos of her and Impi, she says that just the one main image, with those pull off calendar months below it will be just fine 
Now I must work out costs and materials and all that jazz…
M is sleeping – even though he was going to try the “wrap around experiment” again. I guess he just got too tired, poor thing. I wonder when he will wake up?
4 days to go… I’m hanging on to my sanity with bitten nails and teeth.
I go tomorrow to the bank – to sort out travellers cheques, and other stuff – and perhaps to the hair dresser – to see about sorting this hair out into something I can grow out without wanted to shave it all off again – and also to buy some books and things for the trip – got loads of vouchers from my brother, so i will get to spend them.
SPJ will hopefully be getting some publishing action Hold thumbs for her – she deserves worldwide fame and fortune, she’s such a brilliant mind. And my Evil Twin too, so of course she will be famous, because I am going to be famous for my photography! It’s our destiny!
Had a better “plate day” today – no gaggy feeling etc. Managed to keep my lunch/supper down.
I wonder if they charge less for extensions, if you bring your own hair?

Some days are better than others…
Ok, so I just spewed my guts out.
Some days, my plate just feels like it fills my whole mouth. Like there’s no room in there.
I gag. My stomach flinches. I lose my lunch.
Today is just one of those bad days I guess.
So I took it out. The mere thought of putting it back in my mouth right now, makes my stomach lurch.
My mother says it’s nerves. Because I fly on Friday. Yes, Friday. It’s so close now that it’s becoming real. I guess it’s a combination of things, but nervousness could definitely be a large part of it.
I mean, I know I’m scared and all that, I just didn’t realise how much until now.
And then on top of that, I’m having a bad plate day.
yay me. i get so stupidly emotional about it.
And the wind is STILL blowing a gale out there. It’s been howling for weeks now! It makes everyone bitchy and grumpy and annoyed. And the horses hate the wind. So riding is NOT fun.
Ok i’m feeling a little better now.
Still can’t put the plate back in, but as my mother said “we’re family, it doesn’t matter”
I wonder what i’ll be like by thursday, if i’m this bad now?

Awesome!
i made it
Well.. 2006!
I actually made it.
Cath came home a day earlier than planned, but no worries, as it meant i could sleep at home tonight!
I nearly got killed by bees today. yay!
I was walking the doggies (Tigger and Gonz) on the greenbelt and i was strolling along when i noticed this odd humming/buzzing noise… i looked around and found myself in an epic bee battle between two hives.
i ran, with my head down and my hands over my nose and mouth.
was kinda freaky!
I worked on my tan – i finally have some colour on my legs!
So no more “riders tan”! yay!
What else?
oh… getting nervous now, excited.
it’s like…11 days to go till i fly!
*bites nails*
