The pantry is done, despite some mishaps this morning. It is verra nice. I now get to indulge my obsessive kitchen geek and set everything up Just So. Plus, despite the commotion of drilling, hammering, and unhappy cats, I managed to write 1200 new words on Bonnie #1 (working title still pending). Also signed off on the contracts for "Dreamcatcher."

And then I went off to the stable.

The Return to Riding Report Card, week 2

Again on Sancho, who is a very stubborn but otherwise well-mannered fellow. He also moves like a ton of graceful bricks, so when you sit wrong, you know it. Very good for beginners and returners like me.

He also likes the way my hair tastes. Him and Boomer both. *sigh*

Anyway, C says that I'm remembering to open up my shoulders, but the forward-leg thing is still a problem. Interestingly enough, it's only in the posting trot that it's a serious problem. Walk and canter I remember how to sit back and push down (I don't always do it, but I do remember how). My sitting trot has always been good. Posting? Not so much. Argh.

But I'm getting there. I do know all this, it's just a question of remembing it all the time. And I'm not cramming for an exam, so I can take my time getting there and enjoy the process. (IOW, [livejournal.com profile] dancinghorse, don't go breeding me a pony just yet. *grin*)

And, for those wondering, you know you're doing it right when a muscle in your inner leg/hip that is only used in these circumstances opens up and screams BITCH! I HATE YOU! at you. Excuse me, a bath and aspirin call my name...

And then there will be more writing.
