Nothings ever easy

I just got a phone call from the barn .5 miles down the street, saying "we have an opening, you should tell that other barn to sod off and come here". Now I don't know what to do. I suck at decisions like this.

One side, I already told the one barn I was coming there. I have the contract but I haven't signed and delivered it yet. They are $225 dollars more than the close barn and 20 minutes away. They also have an indoor arena, the close place doesn't have even have a ring.

The far one has dirt paddocks, the close one lots of lovely pasture. The far one is full board, the close one they supply hay and grain, you have to supply shavings and clean your stalls. With the far one, I can ride all winter. Close one, I can see Tisa every day and just walk to the barn.

Dumb game. I'm sick of this.


Update on kitties - going well. Banichi hasn't made any more bathroom mistakes. He's tried twice and we caught him before anything happend. The last two days, he hasn't tried. I did get another big litter box but he seems happier throwing litter all over the place by using the ferrets' boxes. Either way, he's not peeing on the funiture, so I'm happy.

The ferrets have started trying to get the kittens to play with them. Tira has been pouncing the kittens toys while the kittens were playing with them. Midori went bouncing and chuckling after Banichi this morning on the bed. The kittens, however, don't seem to understand what's going on. When Tira grabs a toy from one of them, they flatten their ears and back off. Banichi looked horrified by Midori ... you could almost see him thinking "its making noises, they've never made noises before, SHIT ITS COMING AFTER ME!!!"

Still, things are going well on the monster front. We aren't quite trusting the kittens to be out unsupervised yet but we aren't following them around like hawks anymore either.

I'm pretty sure I'm going with the far one, if for no other reason than I told them I was coming already. I hate going back on my word, especially if the "reason" is for my convience.

I'm really just moaning here. I was all worked up about finding a new barn which included being pissy for not being able to find the close barn's owner, finally found one, made a decision, got the weight lifted off and then I get this call which sent me into a nice tizzing spiral again. You'd think I was looking for a reason to scatter or something.

While there are ups to the close place, the far place is probably better all around for the winter at least. If he'd called yesterday, I would have probably still made the same decision.
