Food poisoning is no bueno :-(

Poor ponies were stuck inside from Wednesday evening to Sunday afternoon when I finally got back to the yard to put them out for a couple of hours yesterday. Turning them out and doing a quick clean of the stables wiped me out and meant I spent the rest of the afternoon on the couch vegging in front of the TV.

It was super wet & windy those days anyway, so I think they'll forgive me for leaving them wrapped up warm & dry inside - happy coincidence really.
I didn't get out to them on my lunch break today either sadly as i was filling in for another person at the office, so by the time i got on top of their work and mine it was a belated home - time for me. 7pm vs 5.30pm - Admittedly i don't often get to leg it on the dot of 5.30 anymore either. Sorry ponies i won't be making it to see you this evening as me too sleepy as it'll be after 8pm when I get home. However all going well i should be able to turn them out at midday tomorrow.
Hope you're feeling better and all caught up soon! Love their little forest of hay bags :)
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed i am well on the road to recovery & can get back on the girls this week ☺
DeleteUgh, food poisoning is the worst! I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks, on the road to recovery now ☺
DeleteFeel better, food poisoning is awful!
ReplyDeleteThankfully I think i am over the worst of it. Friday i was absolutely useless, Saturday was a bit better and Sunday was much better although because i hadn't eaten since Thursday evening I ran out of energy pretty quickly.
DeleteToday was a charged day at work so that too took it out of me - fingers crossed it'll be full systems go again as of tomorrow ☺
Yikes, feel better!! I am sure ponies don't mind a couple of extra days off!
ReplyDeleteThey never mind days off from tack...days off from turnout - now that may be another story. But some bucking and farting and they get that out of their system ;-)
DeleteGlad to read you recovered (in comments) take care and taking it easy sometimes is good too. You work hard. Your ponies love you no matter what and there is always stuff to work on :). So stay warm and healthy!!
ReplyDeleteAw thanks hun *hugs*
DeleteI often feel I could & should work a lot harder, motivation is never a bad thing - following through is often harder ;-)
glad you're feeling better!! the ponies will surely be fine in the mean time :)
ReplyDeleteI should hope so, I am thankful they are on full keep and i only have to "worry" about doing their stables on a Sunday and even then it's more a luxury for me (and them - clean straw) to be able to get stuck in as they will be cleaned by to barn workers first thing Monday morning.
DeleteI tell you they lead a Pampered Life!
I just get the uber-guilts when I can't go to turn them out for the afternoons - they really are spoiled compared to the 100 or so other horses boarded with them who don't get turned out between November and May!
Eeek! Food poisoning is baaaad. I'm so glad you're okay and on the mend.
ReplyDeleteWell healed now thankfully, that was a while week ago now ☺
DeleteOops, yeah I got a little behind again. I just haven't been in the mood to read blogs with what happened to Steele. I'm getting caught up again though.
DeleteI don't know what happened to Steele, mustn't be a blog i follow :-/
DeleteI love that when you blog read catch up, you post lots of comments it's awesome. Helps me relive the posts again ☺
Hehehe! It's a sickness, I can't NOT comment LOL! I'm glad you enjoy it. :D I sometimes wonder if it's just annoying.
DeleteI guess you don't follow her blog. I posted about it on mine. Steele was chased by dogs, broke his leg and had to be put down. I've never met him, but it really tore me up and I've just not been in a blogging mood I guess. I'm feeling better now though and getting caught up and I finally got to ride today because the rain stopped!! :D
