Summer In Review?
Yup, summer's basically over, what with school starting in almost a week. I accomplished almost everything I wanted to do, except I did not start taking riding lessons and therefore haven't been on a horse at all. But with my new job starting tomorrow, it's hard for me to complain (although riding is *not* part of the deal). I know I've been a little bit braver; instead of sitting around talking about things I wanted to do, I went ahead and *did* them. It's not easy for me, but so much more worthwhile than waiting around.
There have been a lot of changes and unexpected events in my life since May, almost all of which I've talked about to some degree in here. And even though I know things are going to change even more drastically from now until next year, I think I'm a little more prepared for whatever happens. Just a tiny bit. Nothing in my future is a sure bet, so we're all just gonna have to wait and see.
*********
And things continue to be interesting.
Tomorrow is my first day working at the barn. Sure enough, it's supposed to rain which might make my chores trickier. Sharon said to let the horses out unless it's really raining hard, but her definition might be different from mine. Hmm. Weather.com said there was just a 30% chance of rain all day, so hopefully it either won't at all or will just be sprinkling while I'm there. Then again, weather.com also said it was supposed to thunderstorm the entire time we were in Boston a few weeks ago, and it was a perfectly sunny day! So, keep your fingers crossed. ._.
Otherwise, I've planned exactly how I want to do things and I'm hoping it'll just take me 2 hours max. I think Mondays are always gonna be longer days for me cuz the guy who takes care of them on the weekends doesn't typically clean the barn or the stalls as well as she'd like them done. If I clean everything really thoroughly on Monday morning though, it should stay relatively neat through the rest of the week. I kinda wish Tuesday were my first day instead just because that's all I'm doing until the afternoon, so I could spend tons of time getting everything just so, whereas tomorrow, I need to do laundry and be ready to leave for Brooks at 12:30! Maybe you should cross some more fingers, hehe.
Found out that my parents are selling my bedroom set next Friday, so I literally won't have a place to sleep here anymore! Thus, I'll be moving into Rich's apartment over this week and the next, a little at a time. I'm probably not going to be spending much time at the condo at all, which is kinda good since North Smithfield is so far out of the way. I don't know when I'm gonna begin looking for an apartment, but I imagine I'll just be staying with Rich until I get a place of my own. Depends where I end up working, depends if I'm still taking care of the horses, etc. But in any case, I'll be a West Warwick resident for the rest of the year (I started to write "Starbucks resident" cuz I was thinking of the one that's right near there, haha).
That's all the news for now. I won't be online any later than midnight from now on since I have to get up so early. No more 2am, 3am nights. . .except maybe on Fridays. :p

Did you know they were selling it? It doesn't sound very thoughtful/compassionate on their part.
Even though I'm well into my thirties and lived with my partner for many years, I still like to know that there's a place at my parents where I could go and sleep, if worst came to worst.
Although, I would choose to sleep in the gutter first, because it would be easier than putting up with my parents.
Hmm. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise - to have that cord cut.
