Saddened, stressed and sneezing

So maybe I am a little slow on the uptake. I finally get the picture and it's a sad one. I have been dismissed from a friend's life. That's ok. It happens. It wasn't ugly as most breakups go so at least there's that. The past year has seen several changes in her life and mine too I guess. Seems that our biggest basis for the friendship was the horses and since there is strife in that department then there is no need for me. Hmm. Fact is, I (and most of our friends) sincerely believe that her new horse is a bit too much and she took it as a slam. Umm, preserving my friend's well being is kinda important to me. That has effectively, over time, ended the relationship. The hammer fell today when she left me a voicemail that her new trailer was finished and she had hauled to the arena. Without me. I have been excused. While I am sad at the loss I take comfort in the incredible people that I ride with and have deep friendships with outside of horses. If the horses were gone tomorrow these people would still be there. That is a powerful thing to have in your heart.

Now onto the stress and the sneezing. That sweet, adorable, precious kitty has caused my nasal passages to clamp down tighter than all get out. My eyes itch. My lungs itch. I knew it would happen. All the critters attack my sinuses (thanks Dad) with all their might. Zyrtec is my friend. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go switch laundry because said kitty PEED IN MY BED her first day here. Now if that isn't brazen I don't know what is!
