(no subject)

while on the one hand I hate many fewer things today, and beside the point but probably relatedly I had an AWESOME lesson on the kind gray horse, I am also close to tears for no good reason and have been encouraged to give up riding the red horse; interestingly J's stance was that she's not teaching me enough, and not entirely capable of doing what I want (first level/second level dressage), not that she's going to kill me

I have groceries for a visit from the Maine contingent (large brother, bestest sister-in-law, totally adorable if slightly frenetic nephew, plus a pair of pugs) as well as an array of fancy chocolate and a full basket of non-food easter things for the boy, in deference to his mother's views on sugar which I do not share but can certainly be kind regarding
