Ah haha. "burrs aren't so thick I'm ready to go nuclear option"

TheyARE that thick in the one bottom corner,  plus where the electric company dug up along the pasture fence so I got dad to get the little 25 gallon boom sprayer working.   I don't know what I'll do when he isn't here.  I'll have to get a neighbor to help me with mechanical things, that won't be the end of the world but I'll have to adjust to planning ahead so I have time to ask them to fit it into their schedules and have time to to some return favor to them.   Thanking god I still have some time to make that adjustment.

I have mostly adopted "arrgghh I have to declutter" as my obsession the last few weeks.   I will soon run out of the easy "just burn or toss this in the garbage phase."  I'm hoping I can lean on B's communication and organizational skills for a bit while she is rooming here, and she will be able to find nursing homes or someplace to take some of the games and jigsaw puzzles and so on.  I want that from her much more than any yard work etc because it is so emotionally draining for me making calls trying to find places that will accept donations.   I may have to steel myself and just toss a lot of reasonably good used stuff because in these days of cheap chinese goods and Covid, bedbugs etc its just not that easy to get thrift centers to take things.

I lined up to test ride a horse on Thursday.   B's friend L needs to sell a 12 year old arab that is too reactive for her.   He sounds like a nice horse and if he is about like Tanza and not over the top like Sadie I'll probably find I like him just fine.   L is interested in riding Razz sometimes on trails and if she likes him, he'll at least get some occasional exercise which will be great for him.   I should try to find a job for Sadie where she wouldn't be ridden.  She is sweet and super smart so might be good as a non-riding therapy horse but in my mind I imagine folks doing that kind of therapy are bombarded with folks wanting to dump horses that they don't want to ride on them and won't be interested,  But if I don't ask I'll never know.
