Today starts with thoughts about the legal dealings between Doug's ex and daughter. Today ex should know about the 36 pages of complaints against her. When she does know it will be a very profound and life changing situation for both of them, and for us as well as we are very involved. It may mean that we will be selling our house to help Doug's daughter. It may mean that the family house that Doug's daughter and ex lived in will be gone, so then where will our horses live. I know that everything will work out in the end, and my staying positive and patient is my life lesson at the moment.
Today and yesterday we have had cloudy weather here in Southern California. When I am used to clear blue sunny skies every day, and warm temperatures it effects my brain chemistry. But never the less I have plans to go outside this morning, before we go to the horses, and weed the front flower beds. There are quite a few things blooming at the moment, such as roses. The temperature should be in the high sixties today.

I am slowly getting better, but now Doug says he is not feeling well. Also his grandson is supposed to coming here after school today as he lives with us part time, as does Doug's son. I would not want anyone to get this, so other arrangements need to be made. I went around with bleach water as soon as I got up and wiped door handles, light switches and next I need to do taps, toilets, sinks. I feel weak and light headed but very grateful that I am coming out of it, the worst stomach flu that I have ever had. I don't know if either of us can go out to the horses today, but they will be alright and Doug's daughter can give them extra hay for chewing. Rain is forecast also.

I had a relapse and spent some of last night lying on the bathroom floor so that I could be next to the toilet.
This afternoon I am again much better, but very cautious about what I am eating and drinking. The guacamole and tortilla chips that I ate yesterday were not a good idea. In research online I see that BRAT is the way, bananas, rice, applesauce and toast.and plenty of water. Doug has gone to the store to get bananas.

I am not feeling very well this morning, and I am trying to decide if I am going to be able to drive out to the horses. Doug went to work today. I can get someone else to give them there midday feed, but they will not be turned out. I think it was what I ate for dinner last night, very oily charred veggies with rice. I have had this happen before, my stomach is totally upset and I feel weak. I will wait an hour or so and see how I feel then. In the mean time papers are being drawn to begin a court case for previously mentioned family members. May be I m feeling a lot of anxiety with out realizing over that issue. Also the thought of working with horse Pesky is also causing me much anxiety. Today I will not be able to do much with the horses. But it a wonderful sunny day with a Santa Ana wind blowing. I just need to rehydrate and stay calm.

I had a great walk with the two dogs yesterday, I found a way to go from our house to the hills in the picture.
Later today I may go further and go onto the green grass at the foot of the hills. Doug said that he would go with me but we shall see. I had an interesting training session with Pesky, I should not have asked him to canter, it was too soon and I got tired running after him to try to get him to canter. Then Doug took over and got him to canter. Old horse Patriot who is 39 got to go in the turn out today. I should have taken a picture.

Today is a day off from going out to the horses, which is about a 20 min drive on the freeway from home. I am going to try and finish the second of two custom picture pedigrees that I have been working on for a customer who lives in Mississippi. She has asked me to make several pedigrees for her in the past, and make big 11 by 14 copies of all the other pedigrees that I have made. www.picturepedigree.com So these latest ones are English racehorse from the 1800's Flyng Fox and Sceptre.
The garden is quite dormant at the moment with a lot of leaves on the ground, that I have been raking up and putting to compost and leaving some on the ground. In this climate they will shrivel up later on and add to the humus of the soil. We have a relatively dry climate.

I just got back in from a walk around our neighborhood with dogs Roy and Kole. The weather is just the right temperature for walking, sunny and 63 degrees F. Doug went to work today and will not be home until dinner time. I spent a couple of hours earlier with the horses, I go almost every day, Doug comes with me when he is not doing something else. It is somewhat unpeaceful to go out there at the moment, because of a certain rift between the family members that live there. I have never been in this situation before and it challenges my calmness and centeredness. However as time goes on the situation will change in one way or another. It is possible that the horses will be somewhere else, we shall see. I am grateful for the teachings of Eckhart Tolle !!
