I have neglected my writings.
Jiao and I have seen much. There is much more she wishes to see in her remaining time.
Tomorrow she will begin to see a horse show. We will leave home and be away for 1 week.
I promise to write of it when we return.

...Interesting times
The last days have been... interesting.
Jiao has eagerly absorbed all I have been able to show her. Since my time is limited from working, she has taken to being with the nieces often. I see her when she decides to ride and then only long enough for her to saddle Peevy and ride away with the other girls.
Ah, but I have my time of seeing her! I have informed her if she would ride, she will clean. This part she does not enjoy. She complains of the smell and mess. Perhaps I have been among it for too long as I do not smell anything out of the ordinary. It is the time she cleans I discover her activities while she is away.
Jiao has taken to being the "American teenager" quite well. Perhaps too well. I worry for her to become accustomed to her current behavior then to return home and fail to quickly return to what is reality at home. I encourage her to remember the difference.
July 30th we will leave for our first horse show for the year. It is my second entry to this show. Last year Peevy was entered by Cherry. This year it will be my efforts that are judged. I am eager to see what progress I have made.
Some difficulties have arisen. My shoulder has pain to the elbow and with long use my fingers are numb. The doctor says she believes it is a nerve being inflamed but has ordered x-rays to be sure there is no bone damage causing the discomfort. I have been given medicine but do not take all of it as told. I can not function with the pain medicine and muscle relaxer. Working while asleep is very difficult. I do take the anti-inflammatory medicine as she instructed. It seems to make it better. I take the others at night.
I have some pictures and will post them but tonight I have taken the other medicines. I will sleep soon.
