Kiwi, I hope the worst part of your day is now behind you. Pretty soon it should be warm enough where you live and you'll be back on your chick magnet and feeling great again.
First off, no you are not overstepping any bounds. Heck, there aren't any! I gotta get hit pretty hard....
Mostly, what I see and pick out of what you said, is reinforcing what I am working on. Me, me, me!!! It's taken me so long to get into that frame of mind, it's coming bigger and better, I will be me again!

Ouch! but you're right. she must be great at something to get her XH and my H too! the tangled web she weaves.
The benefit of having a roommate is that I know there will be someone left at home to do chores for while I'm gone on the upcoming trips I am planning.
I did have a bit of PMA crunch when I got email from the show secretary where I've been traveling with my horse to get National points in a Regional district. She's not hosting 'my event' any longer. So that means if I want to continue showing for National Association points I'm going to have to go further than the 500 miles one way I've already been traveling. Yuck. But on the bright side, I'll either get to see more country and meet more people, or I'll find a different event to compete with this horse, and still get to see more country and meet more people. Doesn't sound like I lose either way. And maybe I'll just take time off from competing and do some recreational rides around the states to places I want to visit or revisit... so much to do so little time.
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
