For my birthday, Shawn took me horseback riding today.  My birthday is tomorrow and this was part of my present.  The first part was a lovely dinner at Thistle's on Friday night, where we listened to live jazz.  It has been a mellow weekend, one unfortunately that Shawn has spent feeling a little under the weather.

I sat down to write today, and felt creatively groggy.  I seemed to have a small allergic reaction to the horses, which isn't all that surprising, considering my allergies to cats and hay, so I ended up taking a few Benedryl when we got home and it made me drowsy.  I think that drowsiness translated into my creativity.  I'm not going to try to push it tonight.  I wrote a few sentences and will call it good for the evening.
