FREE!

SO i've been free for about 2.5 weeks now. And wow has my life been a non stop whirl wind. I always remember that my life in Regina has always been go go go, but I like it. Sometimes it becomes a little overwhelming and I'm still getting used to the fast pace again. I started work at Mosaic, my mom has worked there for forever, i'm pretty sure she originally commuted to work on dinosaurs (just kidding mom, I love you!). But anyways, Mosaic hires the sons and daughters of employees for the summer if they are in school. SO I got assigned to EHS&S (not my moms department), I also get to work with another summer student. She's awesome, and her family is old family friends, her dad and my dad used to windsurf together. Super cool. Our days thus far have been filled with filing, data entry, and lately 5Sing the pace. 5Sing is making everything standardized throughout all the Mosaic floors (theres 6 in total). Also have had a blast hanging with the other summer students. Everyone is pretty chill and we all get along. Most people think Kyla (other girl I work with) and I have been friends before we started working here (which isn't true), I think its just because we click, our weirdness matches and we laugh at a lot of things.

I've also been riding again, training horses to be more specific. I contacted the girl I used to train with a few years ago and asked her if she needed help again this summer and she said sure. So I try and go out 3-4+ times a week. Its hard work sometimes but other times its really rewarding. Also fun as all hell, got taught how to drive a bobcat, and watched a front loader have to pull out two trucks. Was hilarious.

Something I need to fit more time into my schedule for is hanging with friends, and especially the kidlets (haha Vik and Ethan). Hopefully going swimming with them tomorrow :D .

Over all I have had a great start to my summer and I hope it lasts forever! Just kidding I know it will fly by, but here's hoping it at least feels longer.

Also since I haven't posted in forever, here comes a MASSIVE photo dump





So the weekend I moved home there was a massive car meet put on by DODOlogic as well as a SpringMatsuri (drift event)




I had fun photographing it. The event went great, the wall only claimed a few cars.




My temporary editing set up, not the nicest but it works.




Had to go get x-rays a few weeks ago, some of you may know I sound like I'm falling apart all the time. Well the nurse called and told me "your ankle appears to not be fractured" Well thank you sherlock, I didn't come in with it fractured so if it was then we have more problems. Anyways doc called me and I guess we'll see, hopefully sooner then later I'll have some answers.




Went up to Stoon with lovely Allison to visit my best friend and her cousin the lovely Miss Sara. Was a fun night!




Figuring out why my bike won't run. Well the switched was clogged and the filters were garbage. All fixed up for now. Hopefully RMB holds out for a while (RolliMcBreaksalot)




Gave it a test run, worked good... then started flooding out everywhere. Thankfully it was an easy fix, there was a tiny piece of dirty stuck under the needle (that controls the float) now she runs. Hope to go out and give a good run tomorrow night.




Finally got my new stickers on!




Hey Dora where's your backpack?




Trigger and Lizzy from the barn




Patches! Coolest dog i've seen in a while, one blue eye that has brown leaking down into it, and one full brown eye. She's a Rotti cross Australian Shepard.




Diesel, a fat cat. He's super friendly and nice, I was told someone just didn't want him anymore so they dropped him off at the barn :(




What happens when the old tractor won't start. You push it with the front loader and hope to hell the bucket won't dig in




Letting me drive the bobcat! was awesome!!




My families house for this past week, like we need more vehicles




This is fluffy, she lives at the barn. Super cute and tiny!




Farm bonfires

I got the slow horse... so I took pictures!




Sunset

So tonight I was supposed to go riding, but with waking up at 5:30 ish and working till 4:30 with walking around 5Sing all day I am beat. I feel so tired I don't want to leave my bed. Friday morning though those horses are mine.

Ohh I also wanted to remember that Lady (horse we are training) was an evil witch this past week. Thankfully I borrowed her from her owner (a 12yr old girl) and tried riding her. She was acting to hot for this younger girl to ride. Well once I got on and tried to make her work, massive hissy fit. Bucking and rearing, thankfully it wasn't anything big, she's pretty small but still it was annoying. I'm glad her didn't have the hissy fit with her owner on her back.

I want to start writting more often again, I will try!
