I have been seriously down since my little escapade down under, it all happened so quickly and its been turmoil ever since. Firstly after elation of being home, the reality that our house was sold, I had no job, horse and OH still focused on emigrating I don't think I've ever cried so much. So now our little bungalow is gone I'm renting at a friends and hes at his parents, I'm riding 4 or 5 times a week but I'm seriously missing the routine with my own two boys, it was intense having 2 horses on DIY and working full time and although I'm temping and the jobs full on, I just don't know what to do with myself when I'm nnot a work, it is just so so frustrating. I feel in total limbo it'll be another month at least till OH goes out to oz and I've said I won't go till hes got some kind of accomodation (once bitten and all that!) so it'll be beginning of June till I go at the earliest and even then what if its horrible, and I've wasted a British summer with no horse.

And missing Ryu is just awful, its like someone has died, I know that will sound daramatic but I can't even bear it if people mention him and if I look a photos I just sob!

Anyway just needed to get that off my chest!
 
you poor thing - where are you based at the mo? I know how it must feel though - I'm not allowed to do anything with my two while my shoulder's out and I don't know what to do with myself now my two are on FL for a week.....

will you be going to oz agagin aswell? Sorry must have missed earlier posts....
 
What a shame I'm not closer (I'm in lincs) I could have adopted yours until you're fixed!

Yes I still plan to go to oz, just very very wary this time.

I should be grateful of all this free time, but I think over time I've become as reliant on the horses routine as they have and without it I'm a bit lost. I think no matter what 2008 is going to be a bit of a transitional year and I just need to deal with that and pull my socks up.
 
If you want to go back to Oz then yes, it's going to be a period of transition with some hard adjustments to make - no pain, no gain and all that!

I know what you mean about routine though, it's so hard to lead a 'normal life' when they really do take over your life.

OH told me today that he doesn't know if he could put up with me if i didn't have horses - he said he gets just enough of me at the moment - who said horses ruin relationships!!

You'll be fine - you can always ride when you go back to Oz so just keep your hand in till you go again and embrace your new adventure!
