Happy Friday! I'm staring out the window at a dreary, drizzly day here. BUT! It's well above freezing, and was yesterday too. Our massive snowbanks are less than half the size they were yesterday morning, which warms the cockles of my weary heart.
This has been me this whole month so far:
![Gesture Tree Adaptation Snow Font]()
I'm still taking time out of the saddle for my tailbone and pelvis to finish healing, but I'll probably start riding again next week. Who knew that simple wipeout on the ice nearly a month ago would bruise me SO SO badly. I even had my coach come and ride Elle for me this week just to get her working her body properly, in a way I can't make her from the ground. But both Elle and my coach were stiff and ouchy with all these weather changes, haha, so it wasn't the longest ride. We're all getting older and feeling it in our bones, I guess!!
Somehow I don't have any fun new Elle pics this week, not sure how that happened. However, I ordered her a fancy new pair of lime green velcro running shoes so we can continue our walks along the paved road near the barn without her getting ouchy or wearing too much, hopefully. I opted for the lime green because I figured I'd at least have a hope in heck of finding one if it fell off. So expect adorable pics of those soon!! Should be here by the end of next week if the tracking is right.
My mood has been dreadful lately. I have no focus and no energy. March is always the worst month for my seasonal depression, even though it's not "supposed" to work like that. My serotonin apparently didn't get that memo. Still, I'm at least functional, so the medication to keep me on track during these slumpy times is helping substantially, even if it's not perfect. I do eat well and exercise and get my vitamin D and all those things, but to a certain degree I just need to wait it out.
Dinner tonight is probably going to be rainbow trout (frozen Costco fillets), rice, and steamed vegetables. Won't be the fanciest but hey, it's food.
