Time...

Ain't she lovely...?!
The time has come.

For me to write again – and not half assed either…really make the commitment to myself – and more importantly, my horse – so when things are not going as planned – because let’s get serious and know that things never go as planned – I will not only be able to have a track record of what went wrong and where – but also to look back and really be able to relive the journey. ….okay, who am I kidding here? My lack of writing is simply due to the fact that I have – wait, HAD no time…I will explain.

My life: Up at 5:15 a.m., on the train into the city at 6:45, work from 8:30 – 5:30, barn from 7:00 p.m. – 9ish, home, eat dinner, bed repeat….exactly when am I supposed to have time to write? If someone can tell me, then I would gladly point out how there would be no way I would have been able to do it.

That all changes March 26th.

I will have more time then I know what to do with….recently, I accepted a job, with the Federal government….10 minutes away from my house. Pardon? Come again? Yep, you heard correctly. My life is about to change, significantly. And for the better. Let’s be simple about it. As of March 26, I will be able to leave my new place of employ, get to the barn, ride – and I am talking a real school, not 25 minutes because it is late and dark outside – and be home starting dinner….all before I would have gotten to the barn on say – March 7th. Time. More of it. Stress. Less of it.

Well, what ever will I do with my extra 2.5 – 3 hours a night at home? As much as I would love to be spending that time with my new husband – yes, we are still newlyweds – he has unfortunately started up work again and has left me already. He is headed out to BC for a solid 4 or 5 weeks and then who knows where he will end up. At least we will get to feel like newlyweds when we are reunited every time he comes home!! J Point being (as I have gotten clearly WAY off topic) I will have an extra 2.5 – 3 hours a night to WRITE!!! And, I absolutely plan on doing that. Can’t wait.

…I wonder what my first countdown widget will be…hummm, maybe Colby’s first EVER event?? Stay tuned – I will discuss with the boss and then go from there.
