However, I wasn’t in tip top condition. Both Matt and I were sick with the flu and I was bedridden for a good 4 days and went back to work on the 5th day with a slight fever. I hate not being able to function normally. Matt got well within 3 days but his fever came back after a week. No, it’s not dengue. It’s viral, the doctor said.
I didn’t get to ride for two weeks. I even drove to the stables despite being sick, just to be around horses. And look where it got me? A truck scratched the right side of my car. I didn’t do anything about it since it was my fault. I avoided a stupid tricycle and didn’t look or my reflexes were too slow.
What I had in mind for my birthday? I just planned on having a small group of people over…cook, drink and talk/sing the night away. The kitchen needed repairs so cooking would have been tough. No drinking because of the antibiotics. Plus my cat, Vodka, is acting up and peeing on the sofa. He has his litter box but after two years, he starts this annoying habit. And the thing is, he’d only do it when I can see him. Don’t I give him enough attention? Grrr!
To compensate for my not-so-good September, I bought a saddle (nice of Violet to sell me her Pessoa). I also ordered stuff from Dover for the saddle. Overall cost wasn’t so bad but the shipping cost was ridiculous! Almost the same amount as my shopping! The package was light, in terms of weight but since Dover packed it in a huge box, I was paying for the dimensions of the box. If I knew, I would have asked them to just bubble wrap my orders. Done deal.
So, happy birthday to me :o)
