Merry Christmas, and the count down begins


Merry Christmas to all, with much love from myself, Heidi, Willow, Oasis, Connie, Natalie, Athena, Willie, and Hercules.
Christmas brought a lot of things for me to help get myself ready for my own place.  I do lack a few things still needed for my own apartment, but they are still things that I can pick up as I go.  I figure to be at least a few months out as I need to put aside money for deposit and the last few things that I need.  There's nothing wrong with where I am now, with Kylie, but her present engagement to Doug, I just feel intruding.
The count down has begun to moving Heidi to Lucky Charm.  While the farm is a touch further away, towards Lexington, it's about 2 miles further to this farm from Kylie's than Tamarack was, there's not many boarders and it's usually quiet.  No more Sandy stress from trying to micromanage, and Heidi off grain.  She's gained so much weight, her neck is thick and she's got huge fat deposits along her crest, tail head and a ton through her belly so much that she looks pregnant.
Willow has been wonderful.  She's taking everything else in stride that we've done and I think she'll take to working off leash, with plenty more work, quite well.  She only barked at Allen once yesterday, and he came outside to get dad's Christmas present out of my truck, in a big black hoodie.  We jokingly called him Darth Allen.  
Today I plan to pull some of my things out of Tamarack.  First step will be to drop the trailer over at Lisa's.  Spend some time with them, get my stuff from Allen and Dad that I forgot and then to Tamarack.  I'm going to get my blankets and some of my stuff that I don't need there anymore in my tack box and grab my mounting block.  Then the truck can happily sit for a little longer until moving day comes, cause then I can just toss my tack box in the back and lead them over to Lucky Charm.  I may even be able to put my tack box in the back of their truck.  Well I need to get myself moving. I have to check and make sure the trailer will be okay, cause if not I have to make new plans quickly.  So much planning, so much to do but it'll be worth it in the end.
