I have got to figure out that this isn't home and just because I've become comfortable with the routine doesn't mean that the bay has.
Got kicked, today, a nice shot right to the crotch-ish area. Got a cut on top of my pelvic bone (the one in front, hell if I know what it's called) and some fabulous bruising coming up already in the crease of my right leg.
I forgot how long that sucker's legs are... from now on we ride in the round pen.
I want to beat my head on the desk, the wall, you know, whatever is handy. 'Cause frankly, I share the blame in everything that has happened to me.
But, I'll get through this stage, I've gotten through everything else life has thrown at me, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna give up on the one thing that I've done purely for myself in many years, just because I got a little banged up.
Determination is not sitting comfy on your couch and firmly resolving to do something... tomorrow. Determination is getting the crap kicked out of you and going on, because that's just what you do.
In the immortal words of T, I'll man up, rub some dirt on it, and go on.
I am, however, seriously considering naming the bay "Buck" short for "Sumbuck" because I can say that at the barn. Since we're not supposed to cuss, "you sonofa...." is out......

That's the pubic symphysis, there, that is.
How about cursing in tongues not native to you? I personally have enjoyed cursing in German, Yiddish and occasionally French (which, in my world, is entirely curse-worthy as it is... Give me Spain!!) while at work/in public with a fair bit of immunity.. either that, or I didn't care that they were staring at me. I particularly enjoyed it, sometimes.

If you're gonna cuss in any foreign language, why not go whole hog and learn Irish Gaelic? I've heard it's a great language for that. Given my Irish ancestry, that's one language I'd be interested to learn.

The crest at the outside of the pelvis above the hip is the iliac crest. I probably misspelled that.
If you really get disgusted with "Sumbuck" you could probably put the word out on the street that you've got a horse for sale...SumDood might be interested;)
And maybe Sumbuck will be Sumdood's demise? Sumdood's such a wimp, it won't take much to unload him. Sumbuck's overkill.
