Yeah . . . it's that season, and I've gone full Floridian.

A very late Mental Health Awareness month check-in. Work has been kicking my ass lately, but Fuego is as happy (and spooky) as ever!

I love brunch. It is hands down one of my most decadent, extravagant, and completely self-interested hobbies. I love picking out my outfit; sometimes I go shopping the week before just to get the right look. I love getting ready the morning of. I love running (fashionably) late. I love getting in the Lyft and pretending that I'm the main character. I love bottomless mimosas, and in Miami, bottomless mojitos. Everything about it is just *chef's kiss* in my world.

I'd be shocked if his butt isn't fully cleared up by the next time I'm at the barn. "Hiiii. Whatchu doing down there???" He got a nice groom, a bath, hand detangling of his mane and tail, drying time under the fan in the middle of the day, early dinner, and lots of treats. This horse wants for nothing.
