Ok, so I know this doesn't have any scientific basis but I swear, hand on heart, I have pregnancy cravings.
I am literally starving all the time and if I could eat chocolate for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner I would.
Seriously.
Would.
The best thing I can do at the moment is buy chocolate on way to stable, eat it in the 4 minutes it takes me to get to stables, then take the rest of the chocolate into the stables and leave it there.
It's working pretty damn well.
Well-ish.
And there's been some dynamic changes in the family.
Whereas it was Caps who was ruling that bull, it is now Az. Caps came up for dinner with the rest of the family trailing behind, but Buzzy boy put his horns down and Caps stopped and stood there, looking at me. A fairly useless exercise because I'm terrified of that bull. Anyway, got food sorted by changing feed and moving it over to Caps and then Hello! Az walks in, walks up, goes and stands in front of the bull, and just stares at him. No ear flapping, he just stood there staring. Buzz tried to come up and do a little horn poke but Az just turns his a** towards him and flexed his butt muscles. Buzz takes a step back and Az turns around, walks over to the feed where Buzzy wants to eat, and starts eating.
I actually watched Az go, FFS, I'm not putting up with this sh*te.
And Mares doesn't wear a jacket now. She is going nude to soak in all those wonderful vitamins and minerals you get from the sun. She seems to be super happy about it.

Races were good as per usual. A couple of surprises but you know, thoughts, wants and desires are not action. If anything eventuates, I'll let you know.
****
Everyone's happy at home, I separated everyone at the exact moment Caps started standing at the fence just staring at me, because he was too scared to go through the gate to get his feed. Az didn't give a sh*te either way.
Ralph and Chew are super cool.
Suz is coming along nicely.
Peanut is adorable.
Mares got her second scan today and she is still preggers. I know, I never doubted that she wasn't. However, she is having another scan next week and that is when we can hear her heartbeat!
Spirit have been so very, very kind to me.
So, that's been our week: Take what you need, leave the rest.
May you walk in peace with Spirit.
Much love my friends, and of course, my humans.
Caps, me, Spirit, Az, Ralph, Chew, Suz, Peanut, Buzz-y boy, Fenny +1, Flash +1 and of course, my darling Mares +1.

* Fighting these hormones and not always winning. Had really bad anxiety today which is very weird, as this is not common for me. However, I have narrowed down the anxiety to oil in fried foods and sugar which I have been piling into. Think french fries and chocolate and we're on the same page. That's all good, I can knock that on the head. But I love the little fruit in jelly cups you buy at the supermarket, especially the peaches and pears in strawberry jelly. I'm like, No, no, no....oh, ok then...
I know, right? Seriously, how old am I?
By the state of my hormones, I'm going on 12.
However, Mares was a little flighty and panicky herself today, so I'm still not ruling out preggers hormones.
On a positive note, Mares is literally glowing.
** And I love foals and learning all about them, but seriously Mr B? Giving me a hands on lesson as to how to catch a foal as he was coming towards me in a huge open, no fences or gates space...
*** And it has to be peaches and pears in jelly, not just jelly by itself. Or peaches/pears by themselves. Or jelly, peaches and pears on one plate but separate.
And the peaches/pears need to be cut up into bite sized pieces...
**** I will bet money that these are pregnancy hormones, but I am going to have to get these under control pretty damn quick before this little missy causes chaos and mayhem and a teensy, tiny bit of trouble.
These pheromones are going mad.
On a super amazing note though, the time Mares and I spend every day touching, grooming, talking and more touching is mind blowing.
***** Suz and I finally got it.
