Long day is long

Got up earlier than usual because the hospital was conducting a showjumping fundraiser with a therapeutic horseback riding stable about a half-hour from town. I was helping out with admission and parking and running a couple of errands. Even with two layers below and three layers on top, plus a hat and earmuffs, it was still freezing cold. Granted it was 7:30 in the morning when I got there--and misting. They had to move the show into the stable's arena; last year it was warm enough to hold the show outside. I'm not sure which I'd prefer; it was cold, but if it were hot I'm sure I would have been swarned by bees and yellow jackets.

I get to do it again tomorrow, too. Not the most relaxing weekend in history, but it could be far worse. Plus the lieu time means I get to have a five-day weekend for Thanksgiving.
