I had to get an EEG yesterday for part of my neurology plan to deal with my migraines. I taught my class in the morning, then ran in for the EEG, then was planning to return to the office. The tech was like…you’re going back to work…and attempted to de-goo my face and hair. Thanks, girl!

My sister set up a super fun adult “egg” hunt for little liquor bottles yesterday. As you can probably tell…I won! And my prize was…more booze…now I’m set for like a year or until I throw some sort of a party! 🎈

Easter with my family and a Duck Hunt with my friends. Adult egg hunts are my favorite! My sister hid tons of little bottles of alcohol, and as you can see I dominated. And won…that’s right…more alcohol…I’m set for like a year now.

Yesterday’s Duck Hunt was such a blast. So many smiling faces. The horses were loving watching the shenanigans and getting cuddles! And the piggies and Eartha Katt got lots of attention too! Save the date for Friday, April 3rd 2026. Because my extra self may have already acquired a lot of duckies for next year. 😂

I love my boots! They make the perfect western dressage outfit! Especially on a handsome Thoroughbred.
