Welcome to another Ultimate Coffee Date! I’m still in denial about it being March, but I’ll adapt soon. (Not looking forward to losing an hour this weekend tho…)
Ultimate Coffee Date: March 2026
I did start last month off gloriously though! I went up to Mendocino County for a weekend to hang out with one of my med school friends at a retreat for health care workers interested in creativity/crafting! We spent the weekend drawing, painting, carving stamps, sewing, forest bathing, felting, hiking, cooking delicious/healthy food… It was a balm to my soul. <3
These are some of the things I made!! <3
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…I started riding a new(-to-me) horse a few weeks ago and I love him so much. <3 If I could ever have a horse, I’d want him to be just like Enzo.
A couple weeks ago where a 10(?)-year-old was riding him the hour before me so when I got him, I thought all I’d have to switch = the stirrup length, but…I did not. Her legs were about the same length as mine. Quite a humbling experience.
However, this does mean I get to shop in the kids’ section and my riding boots were $50 cheaper, so I can’t really complain. My friend and I are toying with the idea of entering our first show later this year for fun. (We will likely be the oldest peeps there but since we’re both apparently the size of children, maybe they won’t be able to tell?!)
I wonder if he ever tires of me/everyone else telling him how perfect he is…
We have horsemanship lessons once a month + were trying to figure out how to put a figure 8 bridle back together at this one… It helps to visualize things!
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…I went up to help out at the free clinic I used to volunteer at since they were putting on a community health fair! Afterward, I went downtown to get a quick snack/hang out with a couple friends + found a gem of a parking spot…
Surely this means I don’t have to pay, right?
He taught me to play mahjong and I managed to win! But kinda not, because I forgot to discard a tile and won because I had that extra tile, haha. I’ll figure it out eventually!
