Day 25: A Picture of My Day

Day 25 - A picture of your day.

Well this one's just easy. I realize that today is 4/25...but since I'm making up for the days I didn't blog & this blog should have been posted on 4/21 I'm going w/ that.

On Thursday we drove, and drove and drove. 13 hours to NC. We stopped for an hour in Gettysburg (C has never been, we didn't get to see much and will definitely be going back) and then got stuck in traffic around the DC area..so really it took us about 15 hours to get there. Not sure where this picture was taken...either in VA or NC.

Day 24: Something I Wish I Could Change

Day 24 - A picture of something you wish you could change.

I wish that I could change our money situation.

Day 23: Favorite Book

Day 23 - A picture of your favorite book.
I love to read, always have. I have enjoyed quite a few books. I'd have to say that my favorites (3) have left me in tears. I've read Ruffian probably 5 times...and am a bawl baby each time.

Day 22: I wish I were better at...

Day 22 - A picture of something you wish you were better at.

Housekeeping. I hate messes, I hate clutter, I hate dust, I hate when stuff is out of place. However, I am lazy...so that's what my house looks like most the time. Not proud of it.

Day 21: Something I Wish I Could Forget

Day 21 - A picture of something you wish you could forget.

I didn't post last night because the only thing I could think of, I didn't want to post. Well, here I sit roughly 24 hours later, and I haven't come up with anything better.

The thing that I wish I could forget more than anything else would be seeing Ace like I did for the last time...legs suspended in the air, laying on his back, tubes down his throat breathing for him, the blood that covered the floor. I can still hear the ventilator breathing for him as I said "goodbye"/sobbed into the underside of his neck. This photo is much "cleaner" than what I have burned into my memory. This horse was prepped for colic surgery but the surgery had not yet begun. The website I found this photo on states that at the clinic all of the operating rooms have windows/viewing rooms but because colic surgery is so "messy" they close the blinds during it. I can attest to that. I saw a surgeon covered in blood...then I saw the operating room floor that was smeared red with blood like something out of a horror movie.
