She was very spicy about the whole thing, which is understandable given how her foot is infected. Hopefully she'll be feeling a bit better when I go see her on Monday.

I hate seeing her sore like this. I'm not used to dealing with thrush, so it's a bit hard for me to handle it alone. The horses I had as a kid had a much better farm to run around on, so their feet were always in great shape. Thankfully I have a lot of support and assistance in this time of learning and healing.

She was not happy about us treating the thrush because it is very uncomfortable for her. I gave her an apple afterwards.

Hopefully it clears up soon. I'll be applying treatment to it every other day until it's healed. I dished out like $60 on the good treatment, so hopefully it works

Taken during our training session yesterday.

We did backing up, lunging, standing still by the mounting block, and I put some of my weight over the saddle and in the stirrups without getting on her.

The other person who loves her like I do got to see her exercising with a saddle on and she was totally showing off for him.

Never seen her so excited before. Any time anyone passed, she yelled at them like, "Hey look at how much fun I'm having!"

She listened to all of my commands and was so happy. She really wants to please.

Time to look for a new job ig.

My boss just grinned and laughed awkwardly as I explained why I want a raise and why I deserve it. The company wants me to get certifications on my own time and I want more money to make up sacrificing my free time. If I don't get the raise (pretty sure they aren't going to give it to me) I'm not getting the certs they want and will do the bare fucking minimum.

Then in a meeting with all the bosses and HR, I asked if they could ask the other employees to message me if they're coming in sick so I can mask up. I'm the first person here every day and I have an autoimmune disease and have gotten very sick from my coworkers multiple times this year. My superiors told me that they can ask but told me that I NEED to take precautions outside of work. They told me it's only fair that I take precautions all the time outside of work since apparently people texting me before they come in is too much to ask for. They brought up places outside of work that they know I go to and were so shitty about me not masking up there. I was also asked if I considered a permanent wfh position but was then told that permanent wfh would prevent me from advancing to higher positions. I have already had a promotion dangled in front of my face for a year only to be told that the standards I need to meet before that are higher than the standards people already in that position are already held to.

I was also given shit for calling off for being sick or having migraines. God forbid I take care of myself.

I'm getting surgery in July and their only concern when I told them was how much time I'll need to take off. I was prepared to only take one day off and suffer through working from home. Now they're pushing me to go on short term disability for my recovery. I can't financially afford that.

I'm nervous as hell.

He also loves to be little spoon at night. He'll worm his way into my arms every night.

10/10 best beagle boi ever.

Was on hold with a vendor for an hour. 🫠

I expect it to be absolutely ruined when I go see her tonight lol.

She has so much energy. Today she initiated play with me when I took her outside. She wouldn't let me take her lead rope off and I (happily) chased her around for 20 mins before she finally stopped prancing circles around me and let me take the lead off.

She also did amazing with her actual exercises, which was just some light groundpole work.
