Default preparing for a long hopefuly fun day

My sleep has been so screwed recently and it's ridiculous so somehow my first day off this past week ended me with 14 hours of straight sleep. Oddly I'm somewhat back on schedule however it did knock out a day and a half of my time riding. I got the bills paid, the house mostly cleaned all but a couple things (still working on it), and over all I'm rested and happy. So feeling mostly rejuvenated I have a somewhat long day planned a head of me and I'm not quite sure if I'm looking forward to all of it just yet.

My dancer clothes have already started their laundry cycle and as soon as I switch them to the dryer I'm off to the barn.

I'll ride, groom, and give her feet a rinse off before coming home

Take a shower, pack up my clean dancer clothes along with my pj's and a blanket and head to work for a 10-12 hour shift all depending on traffic and when I get out of the house.

So my estimated time home will be 3:30am and it's about 9:30 am right now.

If it goes as planned and I'm not overly tired I might pull another long shift tomorrow but I'll be sleeping through the morning. It will get me the funds for another blanket when we trace clip my giant pony for some harder winter riding.

I'm going to have my laptop with me and my cell phone so during down time at work if I don't take a nap I can chill online with everybody! Yay!

wish me luck and wide eyes instead of droopy! (coffee is kicking in)

Caleigh took 3 hours to clean! I didn't know she was that dirty! It's the winter coat. We're clipping her sunday so it won't be as bad. jeeze dirty giant pony. lol. Works been slow so I've just been playing around on stage. We had a few customers come in but they were as we call them "window shoppers". So sad face. at least I'm getting my daily/nightly excersize dancing around. ugh I'm tired.
