Cob Jockey

As often happens with my job, after not traveling at all in November and December, January beat me over the head with travel, with 11 nights out of a 16 night stretch spent in hotel rooms, including 10 days straight.  With Connor being NQR under saddle but generally fine, I opted to not have my trainer ride him while I was gone and just let him be for a bit.

But that doesn't mean I didn't pack a helmet for my travels!

Haffies!

My boss lives in Austin, and chose it as the destination for our January team off-site meeting, one of three times a year I get to see my coworkers in person.  When I asked if I could come a day early and leave a day late and work from Texas on Monday and Friday so that I could visit friends, he didn't even blink.

Of course, getting work done at JenJ's is sometimes delightfully challenging.

Y'all, JenJ is just the best.  I love every second that I'm hanging out with her and her family, four legged and otherwise.  I especially love Logan, my spirit animal.  We are certifiably joined at the brain:

"Welcome home, LET'S DO STUFF!"
