Still launching..

As you can see by how little I've posted since last week, there has not been a spare moment around here, what with family in residence, parties, and cooking.  The big tamal supper has been eliminated and we are eating Italian, but that is not happening until tomorrow when I may have more time. 

My trainer and I are considering starting a group for fibromyalgia patients.  I really like the idea, although I am not overly confident that we will get any takers--people with fibro tend to have much more pain that I do, and in spite of that, they need to exercise.  But when it is that uphill, well, it is easier to go in for yoga.  That doesn't do much for your cardiopulmonary conditioning.

I am pleased to announce that Gitano's trot has improved and is no longer the unmitigated torture it was when he first came to me.  He has figured out we are not going to ask him to do that idiotic dancing he was taught to do by some nincompoop who thought he was doing something akin to the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, so now Gitano has lightened up and is beginning to get some verticle, springy movement.  He seems to be doing well adjusting to being with us, and as with most friendly horses, he is a goodie glutton.  That means carrots or apples. 

Out to run tomorrow; I suspect I have a foot injury, but with fibro you can never tell.  Tomorrow may clear up my doubt.  Man, aint old age a bitch??
