Steph rode around last night on Treasure.  I went out just to be there in case she couldn't remember how to put the bridle or saddle on, but she managed.  I sat on a lawn chair as she rode around in the pen.  Since no one was there to ride Charming, (Steph started calling her "Carrot", it works).  It is Red and Major (my horses when I was a kid) all over again.  Major didn't like when I would leave with Red, so I had to tote him along all the time.  So Steph rode in the pen so Carrot could follow.  A couple times Carrot took off running after them, and Treasure didn't get too nervous, and Steph handled it very well.  She got a lot more confidence yesterday.

I am super sick today.  Just ... pain and sick.  i think i am just going to go crawl back into bed.  and take something for this headache I have. 

the other night I had a dream about my brother.  i hugged him for so long.  he was moving back to this area.  although he was still going to be going different places for work, he was going to make his home here so he could be close by us.  I sure miss him.  it is sad, as I don't even know him anymore.  although we seldom spoke when we were growing up, so i guess i never really knew him.  maybe someday that will change.  i don't expect it will, but who knows.  

i had a dream about kelly, now Rob, and in both dreams I hugged them for such a long time.  I guess i am missing people i care about, but have no control over seeing anytime soon.  interesting...
