Trimmed the hooves of 6 of the 11 goats who needed it. Will try to get the other 5 done tomorrow.
Started the big job of packing up a lot of my family's stuff from 3 rooms that the farmsitter will be living in. I will definitely have nightmares about packing up and moving tonight (that's my brain's go-to stress dream, since I moved an average of once a year for the ~decade and a half before I moved to Saskatchewan. Ah, academia....)
I'm so glad you found a sitter!
Best part of starting to clean out my home office room is that I found a bunch more stickers, so my laptop is way better prepared to face the world now.
@sundogplanets amazing choice of laptop!
@sundogplanets Ooo…I love that Totoro!
@sundogplanets too bad these are in short supply
@sundogplanets Space Totoro!
Oh I’m so happy you found farm sitters!!
When I mentioned it my to my husband he said it was his dream position, but his sabbatical ends this month, and he knows nothing of farming.
He badly wants purpose in life because academia is no longer fun for him, and he loves outdoors and reaping all the rewards from the gardening I do. So he thinks he’d love farming.
I disagree that he would like it, unless I was doing most of it. And I still like my job.
@sundogplanets Embrace the moment and hug each and everyone.
@sundogplanets Sounds like a full day Trimming hooves is no small task, and packing always feels like it doubles your stress. Hoping tomorrow goes smoother and that your brain gives you a break from the stress dreams tonight
my most sincere sympathies.
my dad was a professor. we moved every 2 years my entire childhood. i still find moving stressful, even just thinking about it.
