A Rough Week


Sometimes it seems like life throws you curve balls, and this has been one of those weeks. It started when I foolishly (again) left my purse in my car during Luke's tennis match down at Barnes Tennis Center. I returned to a bashed in car and a stolen purse, along with many of my other personal belongings. It's hard already, but without an income, losing all that stuff was even harder.

Then our beautiful horse Alexander became sore after a too tough dressage training session, I think. Hopefully that's all it is, but the poor guy is just not right. We were planning our first show on him this weekend, but that's been scratched. :( I am disappointed.

But, the light on my horizon was the thought that I might have found a new, young hunter prospect who looked absolutely perfect. Sold today, of course, and I was to see him Monday.

The last straw was my pulmonary function testing. It put me over the edge today. Cranky all day anyway, and then my numbers are down into the 50th percentiles for the first time. Don't understand, can't explain... don't have any answers but I do have another full week of doctor's appointments next week. Wish I could just walk away from it all sometimes.

Not my week.

  1. Holly, my heart feels broken too. I am profoundly sorry to hear all this news. Please keep us posted. In the meantime, remember that tests can be flukes. Next time you might have a wonderful surprise. I am counting on it. May your horse (who I think is merely commiserating with his beloved owner :) feel all better, and most of all, may you get good answers this week. Love....Mary
