I slept in until 10. It's 11 now and I'm strongly considering a nap.

What the hell, I'm an adult. I can sleep all day if I want. I can have twinkies for dinner. So there!

I am so tempted to nap all day. Buddy will be here at 7 to take me out to dinner. That gives me five hours to get clean, go drop off my video, see the ponies, buy gas, come home, and get clean again. Or I could skip everything but the getting clean.

The word for the day is "lassitude".

Tomorrow I meet Buddy's mom. He assures me that I'll be fine, but I'm having some trepidation. As much as I can considering my lassitude, anyway. I'm sure all will be well.

Nope.. still no motivation to get up. This could be a problem.

I rode Playboy this evening as part of getting ready to ride Pluto. I just wanted to do walking and trotting to build up my muscles, but he had other ideas. He started cantering and then bucking. Whoa! He sure doesn't act his age.

It's one of those nights when the wind caresses your skin like the finest of wines, when you could walk forever if you wanted. There's a delicate scent of lilacs in the air.

I walked Paige and then sat out on my deck with a beer and soaked it in. Eventually the pooch insisted on dinner, but really it's a very fine night.

I napped today from 10:30 to 3. Now that's a nap. I proudly say that I got nothing done today. Except a little bit of dc.sage website administration in preparation for switching to the new machine. But I didn't have to move out of my chair for that.

I planned to go see Pluto today.. oh well.

It's a gorgeous day out. Sunny, 70's, slight breeze. Pretty much perfect for anything. I went to the farm and held both horses so the farrier could trim their feet. Pluto struck out with his left front, but otherwise we had no theatrics. It was about as much as I could ask from him at this point. I still had things to do so after a brief grooming of Playboy I took off. Tomorrow I'll go back and take Pluto to the round pen for more work.

This evening is Taste of College Park. If Buddy has time and my back cooperates, we're going to head over there to hear Continuous Play. Then I'm going to bed early, because I'm old and I like to sleep.
