Honey, can you go up and down?

Critter posed this question to me. Get your minds out of the gutter people. He wants me to paint all the pipes on the barn, something about preventing rust.

Flashback to 2005 I was racing a friend when the horse bucked and I took flight like Superman but, crashed down like the skier from the Wide World of Sports. Laying in the dirt telling my friend "Go catch my horse but, light me a cig first" I knew I was in a bit of a pickle. I found when you can't move your lower body and you are laying in some strangers plowed up field, you got time to kill. I called my boss told her I didn't think I would be in that week and patiently waited for the sound of the siren that I knew where coming for me. The brave men from the volunteer fire department came rushing to my side and proceeded to cut off my brand new riding boots. I also learned that day that IV Morphine makes me evil. To get to the point I broke my back. FYI- Helicopter ride for the distance of 30 miles will set ya back 12 grand. I ended up having surgery to fix a ruptured disk this past year. I am walking and healthy by the grace of GOD but I have lost my nerve. I am petrified of falling and hurting my back. I am overcautious.
Back to the chore. Critter wanted to know if I felt comfortable going up the ladder and painting all the pipe. The barn is 16 feet tall. I am going to try and do it. Critter is very patient with me. I use to run my horse and I loved to ride. Now, when I ride I wear my "toddler gear" and I have a hard time riding far from the farm. Perhaps, one day. If not Critter will let me know it's OK and we will walk back to the farm with the horses in tow.

Sad note: Kitty is still not back and her twin I think knows something bad happened. She is her usual self. I still holding out hope. The horses all look like they are in a regee band. playing in the mud must have been the big activity for the day. Manes and Tails are a wreck. You can bet I gave them a good talking to about staying clean. Guess after I paint I will be grooming horses.

So tonight we are sitting her watching TV and thanks to a commercial he wants to know what a vaginal ring is and where would a lady put such a thing. Come on summer when we have daylight at night and we are not home watching TV.
