The weather here has been nothing but crazy heat and torrential storms. It's been kicking my ass (hooray chronic illness -_-) and I haven't been going out much at all because of it. Haven't seen Sandy in two weeks and I decided to brave the heat to go visit and give her a good grooming.
I got about three brushes in before the heat got the better of me. I almost passed out and then puked up all of the water I'd drank in the past hour. I drank way more than I realized and had what my mom calls "water belly". I drank too much and my body couldn't process it quick enough and turn it into sweat. So I kept drinking to cool myself and ended up sick and not sweating enough.
Like, I hurled like a goddamn Squirtle doing that mouth water gun thing.
So I got Sandy put in pasture, snapped this pic of her filthy ass getting a drink, then went and sat down and poured water over my head until I was cooled enough to safely drive home.
Been drinking ice cold Gatorade and resting since I got back. I don't plan on going out to the barn until it's cooler but might make a brief exception on Sunday because my bestie is coming to town to visit for my bday and he and his wife wanna meet Sandy. I see my bestie and his wife in person maybe once a year because they live like 3 hrs away, so this is a very special occasion. We'd be going in the morning, just after Sandy has had breakfast, to beat the heat and see her while she's still in her stall. She has to eat before I do anything with her in the mornings or else she's a raging bitch lol. I don't mind planning stuff around her meals. Girl deserves to eat on schedule lol.
Anyway, there will prolly be very little Sandy posts for a while because of the weather. Just know that she's doing very well and is in great hands. :)
