Just a quick note, sorry for my lack of interesting or even boring chatter here.
My horse, Dory, who was pregnant is not longer, pregnant. I am taking her back to visit her stallion friend tomorrow. Though, I am not sure how much further I will continue after this try. I am worn out from all the messing around. Please pray that I will clearly hear from God how to continue from here. This "live cover" method is not costly as the AI was but it is emotionally wearing.
My vet has been very sweet. I believe she was almost more disappointed today than I was when she discovered that the baby horse was not more.
Off to bed now.
Oh, by the way. I have poison something all over my torso. Yuck.

I guess I had already mentioned I had poison something. Sorry to repeat myself....
Is it getting worse or moving in the right direction of getting better? Hope you are feeling better. So sorry to hear about Dory. I am sure that was so disappointing as you have put so much time and energy into trying to get her to be a mamma.
gotta go to bed... so, so tired.

Sandy, your posts always impress me. Something personal and upsetting (and using terms I'm not familiar with, but kind of get the gist of), and then you end with something yukky all over your abdomen. I hope whatever it is goes away, or that you see the doctor and get something more potent to get rid of it.
Oh, and good, ah... luck... with Dory. Is she the only one you're trying to get "in the family way"?

The 6th annual conference is over. Now it's only another 354 days till we do it again. I'll need that long to recover.
Life is never boring, although it is compared to most of the lives of the children I talked to, today. Mind-blowingly sad stories that they don't necessarily see as all that bad because their entire, short, lives have been near-constant chaos.
I was one of the big-wigs there, so it was kind of nice to be seen as this big, huge, authority figure, and then get to mess with kids. I got to be the one to distribute the final prize/goodie bags to the 9-12 year old group... like the 5th grade Children's Ministry group, it was about 90% boys and a handful of girls, who stuck together.
ME: did you have a good time today?
KID: yes!
ME: you promise?
KID: oh yes!
ME: do you SWEAR?
KID: yes, Yes, YES!!!
ME: OOOOHHHH! I'm telling that you swear!
KID, HALF-LAUGHING AND YET STILL HALF-FREAKED OUT THAT THEY'RE NOW IN HUGE TROUBLE: um... hah hah hah... but, you know, I don't swear... well, hardly ever... mostly in my head... one time, I stubbed my toe, and I accidentally said...
ME: here's your goodie bag.
At the adoption thing, last week, a boy, about 10-11 was getting his face painted by a girl, about the same age. I furrowed my brow, and asked: "Why did you want 'I LOVE BARBIE!' painted on your face, in pink?" and walked away, letting nature take it's course.
I'm SUCH a good influence.
Dinner last night was... over the top, as usual. If more than two employees are together, especially if they're management, which I was called today, which was weird, fine dining is always called for. Anyway, my desert was... bananas foster cheesecake (good right there, huh?), deep-fried, covered in caramel sauce, with French vanilla ice cream (or "Freedom" vanilla ice cream), and the whole thing sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.
Good think I had that diet coke, to drink.
I'm not at the highest level of the Choice Hotels food chain, so most every room I rent, now, gets upgraded. Last night I was in a "Luxury King Suite," which had free goodies like microwave popcorn. I love free goodies, but after that desert, I was in no mood for popcorn.

Good night, everyone! I'll be here all week!
Welcome home Rob. I love your humor with the kids... you're so fun, I bet those other big wigs don't know what to do with you.
Hope you are in church tomorrow... no sleeping in...
Sandy - I am hoping you are there too... I have missed everyone.
(I love working at home, but it is nice to see human beings once in a while...)
If Dory doesn't get pregnant this time, maybe you could "adopt." I went on petfinder.com and saw that for a few hundred dollars you could adopt a baby horse. They had many differnt breeds to chose from. They were in Ohio and MD, but you travel a lot anyway, maybe you could give a little baby a home... :)

I woke up and had breakfast around 7:30 AM. And then I laid back down and... woke up again around 11:30. I read the paper, and have been sorting through piles of papers and stuff most of the day.
And listening to a new CD someone gave me: Raising Sand, an album of duets with... Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Yes, the shrieker of Led Zeppelin and the bluegrass princess, together. Nice, slow, country/bluegrass ballads. Good stuff, but as you can see on the Amazon link, people either love it or hate it.
Anyway, time to do some laundry, as I'm --- you guessed it! --- on the road again tomorrow. Uniontown, Chambersburg, and Greensburg in the next 36 hours. Wednesday I'm off to Yeagertown (near State College). Thursday back to Greensburg. Friday, off to Meadville or DuBois. The following week (of the 18th) I have two teleconferences, which is good, because that's two trips to Harrisburg saved. Except I really prefer to be at meetings in person, as you miss a lot, even with a teleconference. It's also weird, those teleconference things.
Okay. Laundry it is, while I work on a marketing plan for one of the sites I work with. Fun, fun!
