jadecat: (Writing Quill)
Yesterday was terribly thrilling. I actually left work at 1 pm- using vacation time! To go and sit in Dentist waiting rooms while the doctors worked on the husband. Yes, that was plural. See, we went to his dentist and after a bit of work she decided that no, he really needed an oral surgeon. So we headed up the road to the oral surgeon's office his dentist contacted. So I got to sit in another waiting room, however all told it was only 2 hours total for both places. Hubby is recovering quite well, and enjoying his vicodin. ;)

And how did I use this time o' waiting? Actually caught up on my correspondence, and got some writing done for The Librarian! Though this actually leads to something of a quandary. Maybe some of ya'll can help me out.

See, I need a horse. Or more specifically, Ama needs a horse. Here's where it gets tricky- she needs a horse that is fairly solid and not prone to spooking- as Ama is agoraphobic. However, she's also now with a band of traveling people- so she needs a horse that can keep up with all of them. My thought was basically a light war-horse that was trained but perhaps never actually in combat. Thinking that such a horse has got to have fairly strong nerves and not panic at every little thing, and would have the speed to keep up. Continuing along those lines, writing it in that the horse was injured (flank slice or something similar, either in training or battle) so that while he (a gelding) recovered he's not able to bear the full weight of an adult man (never mind one wearing armor). The injury, and inability to bear too much weight, would explain why he's available and not out soldering somewhere. Ama being little and light weight would be well under his maximum carrying capacity, but would a healed leg wound slow him down? My only worry is would a light warhorse be too high strung? Though I do admit I've pictured this horse in my head and I'm getting fairly attached to him. :) Oh, and I'm also thinking warhorse as Ama is an utter pacifist and might need help from someone/thing tougher than she is. ;)

Thoughts?

Okay, so home last night with the hubby (in a numb than vicodin haze) watching the first couple episodes of Season 4 of the Britcom- Coupling. It's been awhile since we've watched that show and I somehow forgot just how funny it is. Though, I do admit that I'm already missing the Jeff character. But still, there was much laughter to be had. :) Followed that with more Season 2 Gilmore Girls, and it was all in all a good night. :)
