I Need to Write
to keep myself distracted and out of the bathroom. ._.
I spent the afternoon cleaning my saddle and bridle and went through all my horse equipment again to make sure nothing randomly leaked or became moldy or anything (everything was fine).
But it was maybe not such a good idea. It just reminded me that I'm not going to be *using* my horse stuff anytime soon. I thought I'd be able to save enough money for a new helmet and chaps, etc. but I've only been able to set aside $70, which isn't quite enough for either. Even if I did manage to buy new things, though, that doesn't answer the question of how to pay for the actual riding lessons every week ($45 is the average price). Granted, I probably COULD save up more money during the summer, when I am working full time (except when I take my class), but then I won't be able to ride until the Fall, and then it's going to get cold again, and. . .gah.
I'm starting to feel like it's more trouble and more WAITING than it's worth. Why does everything good always have to be in the future? >: (
Thing is, I COULD just spent the money I saved for horse stuff on a series of yoga classes that start in the beginning of March. Yoga doesn't even bring me half the amount of happiness that riding does, but I do enjoy it and it would be something that I wouldn't have to wait for. I would still need to buy things to wear however. At least a pair of yoga pants, which I could just wear over my old ballet leotards. Well, I have to decide on this very soon, so I am going to price/try on pants tomorrow. The problem is that the amount of $$ in my savings account is getting too low for my liking, and I still need money to bring with me to NYC and for the train and whatnot. So if I decide to do yoga, I am basically giving up on the horseback riding idea.
This is what pushed me to the ice cream and then to the toilet, if you get my drift. SO FRUSTRATING. >: ( And it doesn't help that I had to miss my therapy appointment today because of the snow.
Well, I'm gonna play MahJong and then read the next part of the document I'm looking at for my paper. At that point, the ice cream that's left will have moved along and I guess I'll be okay.
