The weather was perfect! She did so good on the ride too!
She really is! Most people don't think she's as old as she is either because she doesn't look or act like it. She turned 27 on the 11th.

I'm slowly getting fancier tack to make her look amazing lmao.
I got a super bad concussion when I fell and hit the back of my head on some concrete a while back. It took nearly three weeks for my symptoms to go away. I got really lucky I didn't get anything more serious. We were concerned that I permanently damaged my occipital lobe because my visual issues were not improving. Thankfully I got better, but goddamn. I can't imagine a brain injury as severe as that guy's. It's terrifying.
Love me some Mr Yuk stickers
This would be hard given that my current food obsession is eggs and I talk about it a lot lmao

I plan on fighting it tooth and nail. My mom is buddies with a lawyer and I do that lawyer's firm's IT at work, so she may be able to help us or at least point us in the right direction.
We are starting with sending our 30 page evidence report to the insurance and adjusters and going from there. I'd rather not have to go to court because I can't afford it, but I will if it means I can get this whole mess taken care of.
Thank you so much! And the ribbon is so neat, ain't it lol. I had a joint bday party with my cousin this year and we both got "birthday baddie" sashes. Mine is going to be used exclusively for critter birthdays now.
She got loads of attention from everyone and people wrote happy birthday messages on the barn announcement board. It made me so happy. I didn't get to spend as long as I wanted at the barn because I've had a tough day and it's hot outside. I made sure Sandy got the attention she deserves though and lots of treats.
My TBI symptoms are gone, thank goodness. I also was told my house insurance won't cover the foundation damage cause by a tornado spawning essentially on top of my house. The wind applied enough torque to twist my house slightly and it's beyond fucked.
I just want to get through the winter without the place falling into the ground. My dad wants to sign his place over to me when he goes to live the RV life in the spring, so if that happens, I can just sell my place to whoever the fuck will take it.
It's going to cost like over half the cost of the house to fix it. And that's only the foundation. There's a retaining wall that needs replaced, the erosion on the driveway from 10.5 inches of rain in a month needs filled on, my front porch is close to collapsing as is my patio roof, and a bunch of inside walls need fixed after the foundation gets fixed because they're cracking. Every day I notice more damage.
I quote old episodes of SpongeBob at least 3 times a day
Aw helllllllll yeah 😎

Finally got the all clear to work with Sandy again. She had a wonderful hairdo waiting for me.
(lemmy.world)
She seemed pretty bummed until we really started doing stuff. She's a bit ribby and lost some weight. Not much, but any loss is always noticeable. I think she's been a bit lonely because I haven't been able to see her, and her bestie Five went back to racing.
We did lots of grooming and I gave her so much attention. We did some groundwork, but not much because I don't want to push either of us too hard right now.
Her 27th bday is on Friday and I'm so goddamn pumped to celebrate it. I'll get awesome pics to show y'all ofc.
Yeah. Now I'm dealing with potentially losing my home. My dad is going to be living the RV life in spring. He offered to transfer his mortgage to me or rent his home to me if I need it. I'm honestly hoping that I can get an insurance payout big enough to pay off my home, so I can have his. It would be better accommodating for my slowly worsening disabilities and is less prone to the structural issues my home is. I'm very lucky to have this opportunity and I hope that I can have something work out right for once. I love my home dearly, mind, but it isn't one that will be good for me as I age. I'll be thirty next year, but I have the body of someone who is forty. I don't expect to age well, so I am trying to get my future figured out as best I can while living life as fully as I can.
The safest place in my house is a closet in my finished basement. When the tornado that fucked up my foundation extra bad hit, I was in this tiny ass, pitch dark closet with two panicking dogs and the whole house shook and it sounded like a train was in the house with me. I thought I was going to die. Best part is that I was asleep when the tornado alert came through my phone. I booked it downstairs in 30 seconds. Found out later that the tornado was on the ground before the alert went off

Looked at Ms Sandy today but didn't get close because I'm still having concussion symptoms
(lemmy.world)
I had to drop off her supplements and I wanted to say hi. She made a noise at me lol.
I go to a concussion clinic tomorrow for the lingering symptoms. Nausea, visual weirdness with certain things, and headaches. The most annoying thing is the visual shit because it makes my work hard because text gets fuzzy and warps after looking at it for a while. Being outside in the day is fine as long as I have sunglasses on, so I can safely drive while the sun is out. I do it as little as possible though. Driving at night is a big no-go. Drove a little at night on Saturday and it was awful. Almost had to call my parents for a ride at one point. I pulled over and closed my eyes for a few minutes and that reset everything and I was able to get home.
I am hoping this vision bs can be fixed. I'm worried I did permanent damage to my occipital lobe because that's the part of my head that hit the ground.
My hobbies are also limited. I can't play video games very much or look at memes for long, so I've gotten back into drawing and doing cross stitch.
Totally nobody's fault. She stepped on the toe of my boot by mistake and I stepped back to free my foot and I just kept going backwards. Smacked the back of my head on the ground so hard it bounced and my glasses flew off my face. I sat up and was pretty dazed and just sat on the ground for a bit to get my bearings. Then my vision got weird when I stood and I got hella barfy. Had my stepfather take me to the hospital and a friend put Sandy back into pasture for me. Sandy was very concerned when I was on the ground and wasn't standing up right away. She was also super upset that I wasn't the one taking her back to pasture and kind of threw a fit. The other folks there think she didn't want to leave me because I'm injured.
I also have epilepsy and according to my stepfather, I seem pretty fucked up and the hospital I went to really didn't take things seriously. Everything has been a blur tbh, which prolly ain't good.. I'm not having seizures afaik, but my concussion is obviously more than mild. My mom is going to take me to get a second opinion in the morning at a hospital associated with my neurologist.
Replying to comments will prolly be delayed, as screens hurt to look at and typing is nearly impossible because of my vision being weird.
I'll def update y'all at some point though!

He and my other dog shredded it while I was on a work call. They're going to be getting blankets to sleep on while I'm working from now on

She's had a hard life. I spent two years rehabbing her and teaching her how to be loved. She was wasting away in a stall at a different farm for 6 years before we met. She's defied all expectations and is so happy now. She's loving life now and I'm so glad lol. When she and I met, people warned me to stay away and said she was psycho. She was just lonely and bored and needed love. By the time we left the old barn, people loved her.
