Quickie

I'm waiting for my cake to cool so I can go to bed. It's almost midnight, and I have a lesson in the morning. Ugh. Excited for the lesson, not so much the getting up. My husband is off skiing for the weekend (he deserves it!) so I spent the day at the barn. Ms. Denali is off on NOT ONLY her left hind, but also her right hind. Her left hind is still swollen from when she cut it, and her heel is warm on her right hind. She kicked the fence a few times, and now I'm wondering if she's getting an abscess. She also has to small cuts out of her hoof wall. Very small, but now I wonder where she got them from. I'm thinking of bubble wrapping her permanently.

Seriously Denali! I'm going to let her know tomorrow that sick ponies don't get birthday treats. I'm not sure there is anyone else (other than the hubby) who I'd be willing to stay up late to bake a cake for. I guess not so much a cake as a huge treat shaped like a cake. She turns 6 on Monday. What the hell was I thinking when I bought a 4 year old?!
