I do my very best. Nobody else does anything with her except an old guy who just puts her out to pasture for a bit when he’s there to see his horses. I appreciate him letting her out when he does. I can’t go out every day, but between the two of us, Sandy gets to leave her stall for a bit almost every day, weather permitting. That alone is so important to her well-being.
Giving Sandy a bath is different than bathing other horses. Sandy hadn’t been bathed in so long, that she forgot what it was like. She developed a fear of the bathing hose and a sponge. I had to slowly introduce her to each over a few sessions over the course of a month, and even with all that, I was consoling and soothing her the whole time.
Her bath wasn’t even what I’d consider a complete bath. I used a bucket of soapy water and sponged her off with that as best I could. She moved and danced for a while until she realized that what I was doing wasn’t bad and actually felt good. I didn’t even try to clean her legs. I only did her body, mane, tail, and teats. Once I used up all the soapy water, I gave her a pep talk on the way to the hose, introduced her to the hose nozzle for the millionth time, and rinsed the suds off over the course of 20 minutes. I had to do it in tiny intervals because she insisted on dancing around nervously after like 10 seconds of the water touching her. Then I had to squeegee the excess water off of her, which was a challenge because she was already wound up and I was coming at her with yet another strange object. I’m hoping I’ll be able to hose her down without her dancing and apply soap directly to her someday, but I’m taking what I did as a huge win lol.
Most horses who get bathed regularly just let you get them wet, put soap on them, scrub them with something, and then hose them off. Just like bathing another person, pretty much. Sandy’s neglect has led to her not knowing how to handle a lot of things and I’m trying to reintroduce stuff so she can get properly pampered in her last few years.
I don’t use biometrics for anything.
It’s such an accurate name
Fuck yeah! I’m getting rid of everything aside from my ovaries. Ovaries are staying because menopause at 28 years old is bad lol.
Best part is that the operation is 3 days before my birthday. Happy birthday to me! This procedure is literally a dream come true. Thinking of getting a custom cake made to celebrate the operation and my birthday lol.
I say hella every day. Slang accentuates speech and makes it fun, so I use a lot of it. Not an obnoxious amount, though. Gotta get the slang amount just right, just like swearing. It’s an art.
I don’t use skibidi because it’s too long to easily work into sentences casually. Also it’s a really fucking dumb word that feels wrong saying. Like I tried it a few times and cringed so hard I thought I was gonna flip inside out or some shit. My soul started leaving my body.
Had to use this on one of my ducks when another one started tearing her feathers out. Works really well.
I am almost 28 and use way more gen z/alpha slang than my 21 year old sister does. It becomes your permanent lexicon after a while and you keep using the words no matter how outdated they are. I say yeet at least once a day still.
Thank you! I’m very excited and my surgeon is one of the best endometriosis specialists/gynecological surgeons in the country, so I’m in good hands.
Thanks! It’s a total hysterectomy to treat recurring endometriosis. It’s gonna be so great. I’ll come off my hormonal medication too, which should help me lose weight finally.
I’ll be bed bound for 2 weeks and then have super strict restrictions for another 2 after that. I’ll need all the entertainment I can get in that time lmao. My dr is adamant that I don’t even work from home during my recovery. It’s gonna suuuuuck. But the procedure is one I’ve been wanting for a over a decade so it isn’t all bad.
Noooo. I’m getting surgery on July 17th. 😭
I only have like 10 minis and the party I DM for is 5 people, so I use a lot of random stuff as minis. I’m slowly building a collection, but it’s expensive lol
Does buying Gaiman’s work after he’s dead still benefit him or can I separate him from the art at that point? I don’t wanna support him, but I do wanna read his work someday
I got strawberries yesterday and they’re already a lil mushy. I’m so pissed
She’d prolly try to eat it. She can mess up her braids in half a second, so she’d no doubt shake out a bow just as quick lol
I forgot my minis for a session one day, but remembered to bring the Werther’s originals. So we used soda tabs, beer caps, and Werther’s for minis that day.
Love how he doxxed the Dr.
Today I’m anxious, exhausted, and struggling with my self-worth. Honestly might just go to bed early and try to sleep it off
