About to be August, really. This month is going so fast.
Went to my first horse show in a long time last Sunday. K talked me into it because a younger student of hers was going. So I did, even though our canter changes aren't set.
2 hour drive there, so freaking hot, Zolar was pissed off by his trailer mate. The first test was okay, but the second one was a huge hissy fit. I did stay on, but dislocated my finger-pointer finger on the right hand. sigh.
Then Tuesday I dug out a piece of my right hand with the hoof pick. Another sigh. Did get another tetanus shot the next day.
Questions.

Not enough for mud bogs, but enough to help where I've mowed (I know, mowing, me!)
7. Have you ever made pastry from scratch?
lolol no.
8. If you could share your life with any kind of animal (assume for a moment that the animal is tame and wouldn’t kill you, and you had the space and resources to care for it *g*), what kind of animal would be your dream companion (real or imaginary)?
I have my horses, thanks. :)
9. Do you like wearing hats?
I look really odd in hats, mostly because of all my hair. I wear fabric visors when I'm out in the sun.
10. Have you ever been to a horse race?
No? I don't think so. I don't watch them on TV, either. Very boring.
11. Have you ever taken a first aid course? Do you know how to perform CPR?
I've taken a few. Have had regular CPR, pediatric CPR, Neonatal resuscitation, trauma resuscitation. Last CPR was many moons ago, and we don't need Neo since we don't go to the hospital anymore.
12. Is there any food you would never contemplate eating?
I don't like the idea of octopus because they are smart. And vengeful.
13. If you could win a cash prize, what would be the minimum you would want to win?
Anything is fine, thanks. Heck, $6 gets me my Starbucks drink.
14. Are there many people in your family who are left-handed?
I think none.
15. When was the last time you laughed out loud?
I know I did yesterday when I was watching a silly movie.
16. Do you still use paperclips?
We sometimes do at the clinic.
17. How active have you been over the year so far?
Active? I clean stalls 6/7 days (choir on the 7th). Try to ride 3-4 days a week. Less pilates lately, though. A bit more yard work. Lots of core work trying to look at kids all day. lol
18. How do you feel about Artificial Intelligence?
+-
19. Have you ever had a pedicure?
Yes! But I don't often have the time.
20. Do you have any friendships that have lasted more than a decade?
LJ friends. A few from school.
21. In 2022, the UK passed a law requiring calorie information to be displayed on menus, online menus, third-party apps, food delivery platforms and food labels at the point a customer is making their food and drink choices. Do you think that would make you reconsider your choices when ordering food?
Sometimes, yes.
22. If you have a backyard/garden, do you save rainwater for watering the plants in the summertime?
I don't save water. Also don't have many plants in the backyard because dogs.
23. If money were no object, would you rather have a gardener, a cleaner, a chef, a masseuse, a beautician, a florist or a hairdresser (or someone else) to be ‘on call’ for you every day? Choose one :D
Every day? hmmm...gardener or masseuse.

I have been trying to watch more new (to me) movies. I really like rewatching my favorite B movies because I know them well enough that I can still read (heh).
But, watched Dropbear (2025), which seemed at first really stupid, but then was pretty interesting by the end. Also, the main dopbear is a dude in a koala suit. And all but one of the koalas in the movie were either CGI or stuffed toys. But it works!
Also watched Apex (2026) on Netflix. Not bad. Somewhat creepy. Gorgeous scenery.
1. Is anything (minor or major) irritating you at the moment?
So many things. lol Lately I've been a bit more pessimistic than usual, which is annoying.
2. Have you ever used a photobooth? Are they still around where you live (where’s the nearest one?)
Used one of the older ones many years ago. Maybe in med school?
3. Do you still pay for things with cash? Have you been somewhere recently where they don’t take cash anymore?
At times, like restaurants where they charge you extra for using credit card (talk about annoying). Yes, MotoMedi doesn't take cash.
4. Is rain forecast for your area this week?
Currently raining. We absolutely needed it.
5. Have you learned anything new in the past year (a new hobby/craft/language/fact)?
Nothing unusual. I keep up on CME, science podcasts, podcasts about weed shit.
6. Can you swim? If so, what age were you when you had lessons?
Yes. I don't know. I was told I had lessons, and I kind of remember, but not really.

Not that particular technique, but something similar. It helps some. I also try tapping on my hand or chest, which can help.
28. Do you have a favourite cologne or perfume?
No. Perfumes, and most colognes today and I don't get along. OTOH, some of the musk colognes on men-yummy.
29. When was the last time it rained where you live?
Last Tuesday we had our monthly allotment of rain. So much rain. Before that had been weeks.
30. What is your favourite way to eat vegetables?
Mostly raw.

I'm back on LJ. Ended up getting NortonVPN to be able to get LJ on my computer. Kind of side effect is more safety. lol When I looked at Nord, I had to go through way too many steps to find the actual price, which concerned me even though they had a good recommendation. Nord told me with one click. Also, they've been around forever.
Questions under the cut.

As of yesterday morning my computer at home won't go to LJ. I've tried chrome instead of safari, clearing my cache, restarting my router. I have no idea what happened. Sigh. This morning it still wouldn't load, so will have to troubleshoot over the weekend. Any ideas? It's an older macbook air.

Not recently. Not a fan of pranks.
2. Do you prefer sweet things or savoury things to eat?
Depends on my mood.

I try to keep some of each available. Had to buy AA today.
10. It’s International Wig Day – have you ever worn a wig or a hairpiece?
A wig for a short amount of time. They make me itch *so much*.

bwaaa hahahaha. I mean, I just swept the living room floor tonight. (see #15)
13. It’s International School Meals Day. Did you ever have school meals, and what dish still sticks in your memory if you did?
Yes. I had institutional food until I was 28. (gotta love school). I know I had favorites, but don't remember what they were. I did learn to mix cereals in college, though.
14. International ‘Ask Me A Question Day’. Go ahead – ask me a question!
I'm pretty sure this means you ask me a question.
15. What’s the weather like today?
OMG, so shitty. Was 80 yesterday and so nice. Today it's in the 50s, with feels like in the 20s. Sustained wind over 30 mph with gusts to 45. Dirt is ***everywhere**. Also, the wind is coming from the north, which has no wind block. At least the barn is okay, since the stalls open to the south.
Marie Curie! I kind of suck at remembering names. Author-Seanin McGuire, musician-Pat Benatar, artist-the chick from New Mexico that I got some cool pop art from.
9. As it’s ‘Check Your Batteries Day’, when was the last time you checked your stock of batteries? Or, do you just buy them when you need them?
I try to keep some of each available. Had to buy AA today.
10. It’s International Wig Day – have you ever worn a wig or a hairpiece?
A wig for a short amount of time. They make me itch *so much*.
11. How organised are you with household paperwork (or is everything just in one big pile)?
Both. I keep it in a pile for a while, then log and file when I feel like it. Can be a few weeks, or a few months.
12. When was the last time you vacuumed the floor?
bwaaa hahahaha. I mean, I just swept the living room floor tonight. (see #15)
