Re: not coping

it turned into a busy day @NatureLover
one of the horses i care for had a medical emergency so i ended up covered in the mess they were coughing up and having to put my hand up in their mouth as well. not very pleasant. so i was there for a few hours . i did manage some rest for most of the morning though and stayed in bed till around 930 so that was nice.

how was your day?

Re: not coping

Oh gosh, that doesn't sound pleasant, is the horse OK?

That's good you stayed in bed till 9.30, warmest place to be 🙂 @outlander

I managed to set up the new computer today, yay! (Am not good with that sort of thing)

Re: not coping

yeah the horse seems ok. @NatureLover i am quite medically trained when it comes to horses mostly due to experience but ive dealt with this before a few times. its not usually pleasant but they are usually ok afterwards. ive only ever needed a vet once for a really bad case and that horse was fine after a few hours too.

yeah it was nice esp sicne i didnt get to sleep til 4 anyway.

yay well done. i know your not very good with technology so to hear you got your new computer all set up is great. did you get the old computer backed up as well or still a work in progress?

Re: not coping

Thanks! I did get everything backed up to the cloud, it took most of yesterday, lol. So later this week I'll have to get it all back, that will be fun! 😄

I'm glad the horse is OK, it sounds like you saved it...good for you. @outlander

Lying awake till 4 sounds like the pits, I really hope you can get to sleep earlier tonight...
