Geez I'm a busy girl!
Its finally time to sit back and smell the roses, so here I am to tell all of what has made me such a busy girl over the last couple of days.Inbetween the obligatory short bouts of daydreaming (haven't had enough time to have long for such frivolity ) I've filled my life so fully with work that I haven't even kept up with my chilling out blog time. It all started a couple of days ago after the usual getting in the girls (cows) then milking them they were due a jab from the vet, well at least half of them were so throughout milking we cut out the ones for jabbing and put them behind the backing gate. Cleared up after milking, set the fences for the springers and went back to shed to await said vets arrival...yay he was only 5mins late! Can you believe after getting up at 5am I didn't get home for brekkie till 10am....I was starving, other workers would've been more so though as they had to stay even longer for the oxidation pond inspection. Anyway, all I could think about was breakfast, have discoverd a mean way to have my porridge,, is relatively good for me but tastes as good as sticky date pudding. 1c porridge, 2C milk 1/2 cup raisins or sultanas. Microwave for 2 1/2mins in microwave, stir then 1 min in microwave. Stir in 1Tspoon brown sugar and eat.................mmmmmmmm DEVINE and keeps me full till luch time....except this day kept me full till just before next milking. After brekkie I wet out fed calves, fixed a couple od dogy gates and then went out spraying the dreaded Ragwort. It was supposed to be raining but turned out to be quite aa nice day and very warm! Had some sfternoon Tea, help get cow and calf in then milked cows.....so I was absolutely shattered when I got home had just enough energy to cook up whitebait fritter (luckyme!!!!) then collapsed on the couch. So y'know how it is.....next thing I wakeup, TV blaring lights ablaze and it flamin 10:30.....was supposed to do some packing for the market the nextday but couldn't keepmy eyes open so went to bed setting alarm for 5 again.
Ended up pushing snooze button in the morning very rare but who doesn't do such a thing on occassion, could've easily stayeed in bed for a couple more hours, however that wasn't going to happen...jumped up at second alarm, did packaging put everything in car and off I went, only 1/2 and hour late so life still goes on, had a pretty good day selling quiute a bit, still don't feel very rich though! Then went to pickup some more stock, visited my sister with a very late lunch, talked and laughed myself silly, forced myself to leave( had so much more to say! As ya do!) delivered an order on the way home, picked up some beers from supermarket, dropped of some pudding to my other sis and now here I am at home......another long day over.
So tomorrow is my day of rest, all I have to do is mow lawns, wash dishes, do washing and possibly wash car. You see whoever said a womans work is never done!!!!!????!!!! Oh yeah morepacking to be done for next market....better fit that in somewhere. Now please do not think any of this is complaining, I love it, where would i be without my busy?
