Good morning ladies,
I have been so busy this month that I haven't even had time to be on the computer much. Isaiah, Jon and Kim, and Kim's kids all came on Labor Day. I made a quick run to the store and bought stuff for a BBQ. Sure was hard leaving them to go to work, but I did.
I know this will come as a shocker to most of you, but I got rid of all my animals except Buddy, Callie, and Aeris. Isaiah took a bunch of chickens to his neighbor and Kim's family took the rest of the chickens, ducks, and rabbits. I decided to just get rid of everything, so I will not have to worry about them this winter. I may get some more chickens some day but not any more rabbits or ducks. Those days have passed. I don't have the time to mess with them right now. Kevin does not enjoy the livestock. It was always me.
So I found good homes for all of them. After the rabbit butchering horror, I didn't even want to butcher the extra roosters. I made the decision and have not regretted it yet. Now next spring may be a different matter. LOL
My boss, Carolyn, is going in for surgery on her ankle on the 12th. She is trying to get her work delegated to our dietary staff. Yesterday was my day off, but she asked me to come in early to help her put away the weekly groceries. I clocked in just before 7 and out a bit after noon. It was quite a workout, but I loved helping her out. I will be going in at 11 instead of 3 on Wednesday on the days I work Wed. I will go in from 7-noon on my Wednesdays off for the next couple of months. It will give me more hours and it isn't hard. I basically pull the older stuff to the front, put the newer stuff to the back and date everything. The hardest part is the walk in freezer. Whew! It is cold back there. LOL Anyway, I am putting groceries away like I always did here, except the dating. Now I think I will start dating my stuff too.
I have also been running up to the grocery store to get anything that we need that wasn't delivered. I have gone twice this week. It helps Carolyn out and is only 5 blocks away. I am on the clock, so no big deal.
After getting off work, I went to St. Joe. Had to get some things and do laundry. I got home about the same time as when getting off work. Let's just say I was one tired puppy last night. LOL
The ac is not repairable. We will try to replace it next spring. I bought a big high velocity fan. It is actually keeping it pretty cool in here. Not as cool as the ac, but acceptable. We just have today to get through, then we are supposed to start having highs in the 70s. Looking forward to that.
Kevin still has not heard anything from any jobs. We expected, that, though. Not many people hiring at this time of the year around here unless it is agricultural. The problem with that is Kevin's back won't let him scoop and working for farmers includes scooping.
The Holt County Autumn Festival is going on in Oregon right now through Sat. So I will have to cut through the back part of town to get to work. I seldom go to this, and probably won't again this year. Just not my thing.
I have had no time to work on anything. I really need to get something prepped to work on, but just haven't had the time. I know things will slow down once fall really gets underway. Then I want to get a flimsy sandwiched. I am starting to miss quilting.
Thank you to all who have checked on me. We are doing fine. That fan
moves some air. LOL I think this long post catches me up. LOL You all have a great day. Thinking about you!
Blessings,
Winona
