I am healing, but sore. I did squick a few people with the cuts and bruises on my arm last night :) People tended to assume that I'd been *riding* Minnie when it happened, but no, I was leading her. Or she was leading me. Most of the bad things that have happened to me when I am around horses have not happened when I have been riding them, BTW. I have found that with this particular injury, the best place for me is up and about, not sitting or resting. The mornings after have hurt like hell.

The party was fun, there were people to talk with and I was really OK with the crowd, mostly because unlike the Hot Foods party, which is held in February, this one had plenty of room outside. goddessfarmer was relieved to see me up and about. I don't think I realized just how scary it was to watch me hit the ground. I was not only up and about; I had spent several hours at the Groton House horse trials earlier in the day, watching people gallop their horses through a long and difficult cross-country course.

Then we had madbodger as an overnight guest (and not nearly enough time to cuddle him), and went back to the aftermath of the party this afternoon, and then took him to the airport.

i'd missed the original post about the accident -- glad you're ok. i seem to have missed you entirely at the party though :(

based on userpictures, i was wondering if that was madbodger i saw in the pool, but i didn't end up introducing myself because i assumed i was wrong :)
guess i know for next time...

I saw you at various points but you were always busy with someone. Yes, I should have said hi anyways!

I don't know if madbodger swam or not. He's sort of hard to describe in a way that distinguishes him from the rest of the geek boys, but... He's in his mid-40s but looks younger, quite tall and a little heavy through the middle, wears glasses, has nearly-straight, shoulder-length black hair, and a very short black beard. He has a good laugh and is a bit goofy at times, and very very cuddly. He would have come to the party with jasra, if you know her.

He's in his mid-40s and heavy through the middle? Say it isn't so! No, he can't be getting old! The implications of that are too terrible to consider!!!!!
