Waah, Tanza is sore again
Sunday, May 11, 2025
I rode Tanza Today and Saturday
He was full of piss and vinegar on Saturday, trying to take off running, whirling around etc and when I got home and let the horses out to the pasture he was running and bucking like a 4 year old. And today he was not so eager to go, and had a few ouch steps but just a few, he mostly felt solid. Knock wood but I think he is sound enough now to be fine for riding on real trails so long as it was just walk and enjoy the scenery riding and not endurance or CTR pacing. I was going to ride Sadie both mornings but she was doing "you aint catching me" and especially Saturday, Tanza was "I'll go, I'll go" Today Tanza was not eager, he'd have rather I just let everybody out instead of riding but he didn't try to avoid me.
I cut dead small trees yesterday and my neck and shoulders are whining about it today. I should pump the neighborhood to see if anyone has teen boys willing to do heavy yard work. I have a nibble on my NextDoor ad for a housemate. It's a gal, so I wouldn't get guy muscles, but I could use organized woman help too. If it works out maybe she can help me line up someone to install laminate flooring and so on. So I feel like I'm working out of my blahs from this winter, it's slow progress but progress.

I hope the chiropractor I'm trying today provides relief
My neck and upper back have been getting sore a lot recently. It is 7 weeks since my last chiropractor appointment before he retired. Getting an adjustment and the muscle release work he did every 4-5 weeks kept me feeling pretty good but I was wanting to just crawl in a hole a lot of the time the last month and did not look for a new chiropractor until this week when my neck was really irritated. I think I took it over the edge changing the tire on dad's old gooseneck using the mini size floor jack since I don't have a 5th wheel hitch to be able to drive the trailer up on a jack or couple of 2x6 to raise it for changing a tire. I guess that may be a blessing in disguise. I do need regular chiro work to feel good so the sore neck was a good clue bat. I really should schedule a dental appointment as well before I end up with a tooth ache emergency.
I put an ad for housemate on Nextdoor. I suppose I'll put one on CL as well. I'm a bit paranoid about putting them out there, I definitely need to word the CL as WE need help keeping the place up. I don't know if churches even have little new sheets anymore or FB pages etc but of course none of the neighbors volunteered to post my offer on their church's media if the media exists. Probably P, because he would have to deal with getting his own tractor and he hates change as much as I do really would prefer I stay here rather then selling; most of the 'ladies of' neighborhood group would probably be just as happy if the weird old maid moved away. Well I think L might miss me, but she is busy with baby, and is now in the mommy's club and has that connection with the core group of neighbors that meet semi-regularly.
Rotten FB, I can't post on their marketplace app because my account is under Vee for my last initial rather than my full name. I tried to sign up a new FB account with my full name and immediately got an account suspended response. I suppose because it is a verboten 2nd account to same person, but I didn't want to just delete my over 10 years old account. And every time I go there it is overload on my feed with a bunch of crap. I need to go in and unfollow a bunch of people I guess, or unfriend them. I should research if people get a notice with the unfriend option. I don't want to hurt feelings or burn bridges. Maybe I just need to forget about trying to use FB for any selling or roommate searching and go back to mostly not even checking it. They are constantly pushing advertising and leftwing propaganda in what they show on 'my feed'. I don't get enough out of it to put up with a ton of BS by going on there every day.
