Yay for Horse Time!
Because I don't have a car, I've been getting rides with my aunt, but usually only once a month to pay board...which is better than nothing, but still sucks.
Lately I've been doing a lot of new things with my horse--mounting, trying on a bridle, even my riding helmet--and not spending a lot of time just hanging out with her like I used to.
I felt really shitty about that after the last time I saw her, so I resolved that the next visit would (mostly) just be cuddles. I did try on a bridle--the one I bought was too small for my Shire mare'a massive head. I bought some dog collars to lengthen it, but it still doesn't really fit so I'll probably have to get an actual draft bridle...
My wife wasn't feeling well and didn't come out, so I couldn't ride even if I had planned to (we're still at the stage of her just leading our horse around with me on her back).
I'm feeling a lot better, both because I saw my horse and because I worked on our bond today instead of just showing up and trying to hop on her back.
I think I'm going to try and make cinnamon buns...

Simone Barranquet is in a rut. In fact, her life is one huge rut. Until she falls into Zane Matthews’ (The Zane Matthews!) arms and unwittingly finds herself.
But even then, life can’t hand Mona a candy bar. There’s always something bittersweet to spoil her happiness and in this instance, it’s Zane’s husband.
Yeah. Husband!
Can Mona wade through the fallout to find her own Happy Ever After? Or is she destined to lead a Zane-free and love-free life?
If she can grab the bull by the balls, then maybe, just maybe she can.
But does she have enough cojones of her own to do just that?

Today’s tip: BDSM checklists are a great way to explore your (and your partner’s) interests, and maybe discover a few new ideas! It’s also neat to return to the checklist periodically and see what’s changed since you first completed it.
Of Course I'm Innocent...
To which the first guy replied, "Yeah, but you liked it. I know your type. I'll get the ball gag later."
Through this whole exchange, I was like...do-do-do... *innocent whistling*

Tobacco hornworm found to use nicotine to create ‘defensive halitosis’
by Lizzie Wade
For tobacco hornworms, bad breath might be the key to surviving the night. As their name suggests, these desert-dwelling caterpillars (larvae of the Manduca sexta moth) regularly chomp on nicotine-laced tobacco leaves.
Scientists observed that caterpillars feeding on genetically modified, nicotine-free tobacco plants were more likely to disappear during the night than those chowing down on regular tobacco, leading them to suspect that the hornworms might be repurposing the toxic chemical to defend themselves against nocturnal predators like wolf spiders (Camptocosa parallela, pictured above feasting on a larva).
The researchers investigated a gene called CYP6B46, which is active in the hornworm’s gut. Turning the gene off resulted in higher nicotine levels in the hornworms’ poop, suggesting that the gene helps the larvae avoid excreting the chemical by pumping it out of their guts and into their blood. The caterpillars had to be exuding the toxic nicotine somehow, so the scientists gave them an insect version of a breathalyzer test and discovered that they breathe it out with every exhale…
