Just one of those nights...

I've had a long day.  If anybody out there knows what Cowboy Mounted Shooting is, more power to you.  Today, I worked a shoot.  Basically, cowboys and cowgirls are on horseback with two revolvers loaded with five blanks each.  There are balloons set up in a pattern, and the riders ride through the pattern and shoot them.  No, I wasn't a rider.  I was a balloon replacer. The name of the game is SPEED.  It's a dirt arena, and when horses run in soft dirt, that creates potholes.  When a person running in this soft dirt encounters a horse-created potholes, ankles get hurt.  So basically, I'm injured.  Ouch.  I've been hobbling around for the last few hours with my ankle wrapped.  And I've got blisters. And I'm sore.  So.....

I've had a long day. And I'm hungry and out of food in my dorm.  My car is dead.  I have no way to get any food until tomorrow morning.  So today's dose of sad reality is frustration.  I'm frustrated.  I'm hungry. I'm cranky.  And I might just be a little bit bitter.  I don't know how to deal with it.  I'm EXHAUSTED.  Because of that, this blog post is now over.  Except for this:

Lord,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

Amen.

God Bless, and good night!
