Weekend working I am not missing since harvest finished!

I work with horses. They don't seem to ever know what day it is. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday they're all the same to them so unfortunately weekends are just another day to me too.

I understand, I worked with horses myself for many a year only finishing that line of work back in May. Physically hard work doing 3 different yards and my body was starting to say no! My own horse and pony were often pushed to the back of the Q so I called it quits and moved onto something new. Has been very different for me and very hard to leave the horses I looked after behind but it’s worked out ok. I’m not as grumpy, wet through (UK weather) covered in mud and filth and I’m earning more money. I’m enjoying only having mine to do and the extra time I now get with them. Only have to work weekends during harvest as I now work for a straw/hay baler company.

I will be out before dawn tomorrow laying in wait for a bad, bad, predator. Should be at my post by 5:15.

Good job. What is this big bag animal?

The technique I've read/heard most about is 4-7-8.

Inhale for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8.

There are a lot of neat breathing techniques.
In general if you make your exhale longer than your inhale it is supposed to be calming.

I woke up at seven this morning. Does that mean I get kicked off the thread now?
