::collapses:: I went digging today! Along with a few other people from my Archaeology class, I went with Dr. King and Mr. Chaney to a site nearby to do shovel tests. Discovered that I enjoy hunching over a screen hunting for bits of brick and shell, even in the bitter cold. This is probably a Good Thing.

Also, we were digging in a field where the people who own the land keep horses and sheep. They have two big, beautiful, bright chesnut hunters. It was the first time I have touched a horse in nearly four years. I made friends with one of them, put my face against his neck, and just...breathed. I managed not to cry, although I'm not doing so well now.

That's it. I'm going to start riding again next fall, or possibly this summer if I can swing it. I don't care what it costs, I don't care about the time it takes up -- I simply cannot live like this anymore. It hurts, emotionally and physically and mentally. I feel crippled. I feel like I lost part of myself, and the sooner I start again the sooner I can be whole.

Anywho. Good day. Time for to shower.

Should have stretched before nap. OwwwwwbackshutupIkillyou.

GIP, because it's cold now, and how adorable is Kristen Bell there? She even matches the LJ site colors.

Also, I missed Gwen's J Board hearing today but it went well -- the guy was suspended from campus. I really admire her for following through with it all.

Watching favorites from the fourth season of BtVS, inspired by thalia_seawood. I'm generating some overall Thoughts, but too tired right now to iron them out.

Hee. It's Giles. With a chainsaw.
