I used to have barn help seven days a week. So I pretty much only did stalls and turnout on holidays. It was like being a boarder but without someone else's rules and regulations. Pretty fab set up if you ask me! (Which does not mean I think I'm above barn work or anything like that. It's just that I had a full time job and too many horses, so that kept life a little more manageable.) But with the current cost of living, after my weekend helper retired before last summer, I decided to take over weekends to save some money. Plus I think you can keep better tabs on your horses' health and well being when you are on top of their bathroom habits. And it's good exercise. Which the older I get, the more of that I need to not double in size. Which leads to my confession.
Today's confession is that I spent at least one full days worth of a helper on grub hub brunch delivery while doing chores this weekend. So it doesn't look like I'm saving very much money. Also probably canceled out that exercise I did... Oops. It was worth it though. Especially day two when I got breakfast from the donut place down by the beach. They make a mean egg and cheese. And the donuts for later I got came in handy when I ended up being in the barn for a full 13 hours.
I guess for this weekend I better make sure I have groceries so I stop spending all my money on food delivery.
