This is a mixedup morning.
(ok I know it's 2 in the afternoon but I should have been sleeping until recently so we'll still call it the morning)
Death Cab. Was. Amazing. They played so much old stuff--including Transatlanticism at the very end. I would describe the high points but they were all high points. There are no words. (erm, there are also no pictures. my bad.)
And then this morning the barn manager called me...my mare colicked. Colic is generally a solid or gas impaction in the intestine, but the vet found that her spleen was laterally distended, which might mean that her intestines are tangled in her spleenal ligament. Which means potential surgery. Which means $2K or more for something she may or may nor survive. argh.
So I am off to do some work and then go to the barn again to check on her. I am going to need a very big drink when this is all said and done.

It's just hard to decide whether to try to talk her out of jumping or stand below to catch her when she does. I just wish I knew what was going through her head. Thank you for the advice, though.
