I had originally taken today off work so that Teresa and I could have a fun, horse-filled NotBreyerFest day together, much like we did with Fabian in 2018.
Instead, I spent the entire morning at the dentist. I didn't get home until after lunch. I was exhausted, my face was simultaneously numb and painful and I was feeling pretty sorry for myself. So, of course, I logged onto Facebook and made it worse. |

Mostly, I looked at pictures of my friends have the time of their lives. |

Not going to lie, I started feeling pretty bad for myself. Then my phone buzzed. It was Teresa, asking if I was still up NotBreyerFest. I wasn't feeling it at all, but I told her to come over anyway. We sat on the couch, played with the dogs and looked at BreyerFest photos.We went out for (soft) food.
We took pictures with the NotBreyerFest celebration horse.
It wasn't BreyerFest. It wasn't even a proper NotBreyerFest. Still, it was a whole lot better than nothing. Thank you, Teresa. I'm not going to say it was a good day, but it was a lot better thanks to you!
That seems like it was really fun! I'm sorry that you're not feeling well 😔
ReplyDeleteI hope that you feel better soon!
Btw, there are lots of people who aren't going to Breyerfest, so don't feel too left out!
...I can't even afford to do virtual Breyerfest, much less in person. 🙈
I've been a part of the model horse hobby for a really long time, and I've only been to three in-person BreyerFests. It's fine, and really, it was my choice not to go this year. I am happy to live vicariously through my friends. Today was just hard, mostly because of my teeth.
DeleteYeah, I totally get that 😊
DeleteSorry about your teeth!
Feel better soon! 💜
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that's how your day went but at least it got turned around a little. Here's to today being much better!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a special friend you have in Teresa...
ReplyDeleteHope your limited NotBreyerFest helped with your FOMO!
Yay for non breyerfest celebration horses… my online breyerfest plans were ruined when the power went out so I’m trying frantically to catch up on the drama now!
