snowpocalypse

blizzard of the century!
everyone's talking about it!
snow everywhere!
ohmygoodnesswe'reallgoingtodie.

just kidding,
if you thought i was going to be petty enough to stoop to discussing the weather, you are not really catching on to this whole shindig.

also, have i mentioned that i am so sick, that i cannot speak?
'cause i am.
sick, that is.

also, there's this old adage, you've probably heard it: healthy as a horse.
i mean- come on now! that's pretty much an oxymoron. horses need an excruciating amount of upkeep, and even then they still come up sick or sore or lame or what have you.
farrier every six weeks, shoes all around with rubber pads and fancy studs, scheduled intervals for administering deworming pastes, always making sure they have water, water with electrolytes, mineral salt blocks, carefully measured and observed dieting plans, perfectly manicured pastures,yearly vaccinations (that AREN'T cheap), supplemental dietary needs, joint health medication, daily grooming (including the application of different soothing gels and everything) along with meticulously monitored cardio conditions and all possible measures are always taken to ensure each horse is properly warmed up, worked out, and cooled down.

and then they still decide to start limping. with no apparent cause or reason.

horses are not inherently healthy. get it right, world.
