Truck is sick, it’s loaded on son’s trailer. Taking it to repair shop tomorrow. Freaking great! It’s blowing diesel, leaking puddles. I feel a big bill coming.
Coffee anyone ?

Dang, dang, dang! It's never convenient and it's never cheap!
Hope it's not too terrible and it's a quick fix.

Are you home or at sons rental? Well. Bad no matter!! But home would be better for you. Never ends, does it? Hope it isn't a "serious" fix.
I'm having morning coffee, deciding if I want to go to work today or not.
. 70 today, so temptation is there...mid 70s tomorrow, before drops to mid 50s for couple days. Not much work now. Prob farm day? Working outside is always nicer in good weather.
. You can see where this is going! . Starting next week I'll only work a day or two short days a week....prob until late Feb. Almost feels like hibernation.
By now, most of us have planned and prepared for Thanksgiving. I'm sad for the many families who are not, or can't be. They are out there.
Here it'll be just another meal, a bigger one maybe. Most will be back into freezer meals. Not sure yet but, DD may be working. I'll find out tonight, after her schedule comes out. For both of us it just means who will cook more or what.

Good morning, cold morning here for class. Did a thing yesterday and woke up early and drove to watch my best friend show some goats and lambs. Sorta fun thing to do to get a break.

I wrote my story out for the world to see today. The hardest thing I've ever done. I certainly need a coffee.

My story I promised not to tell.
This is my story I told myself I would never tell. This is a heavy read and may not be for everyone. I put this story on Sufficient Self and received an outpouring of love and similar stories. I met with a young woman yesterday through my parish who just recently found out she was also...

Heavy read. Good luck.

Coffee is ready! I finally unloaded the dishwasher this morning. BJs OCD stated that I didn’t load/unload it correctly. Huh? Ok so I abdicated my dishwasher throne and let him have at it. The residual effects of that are that I fill both sinks with dirty dishes and run out of coffee mugs before I break down and unload/reload the dishwasher. I see the solution to this problem. I NEED MORE COFFEE MUGS.

I have a similar problem and NOT because another was around to use it. If I'd unload when done, I could drop dirties in it. Not sink. . I have a few hundred hot cups -- not styro -- from food demos. So I could use them for coffee (as an associate does!) rather than for garden plant starts. Nope, I just wash my cup by hand each morning. 
. Seems it's more $$ saving for plants. 
. Good it's the only issue to contemplate.
So, yeah, I stayed home yesterday. Didn't do a lot. Weather great so I walked all fields, counted extra t-posts -- in anticipation of getting the rolls of fence up next week while I have only half day of store work and still decent weather. Looks like I have enough on hand for target area! Nice. Then, dumped, scrubbed and refilled all the big water troughs. Had a pile of trash weed and brush I wanted to burn but, too windy. Next week. Today it's going to upper 70s!! Tomorrow, maybe low 50. Norm is low 60s. Dressing in layers.
. Looked over garden area....need to cut and disc soon. A lot of outdoor time. Sure felt good, relaxing....no rush.
Coffee is nice! Don't need a lot of wake up, slept well. But, tastes good. Going to work the half day in stores jobs, then done for week. Right now, schedule shows less than one day of work over next 2 weeks...officially winter scheduling. Time for farm! Better watch to see if any goat girls still need breeding.....maybe 2 or 3? Buck on fence line! Just watch for blubbering and tail swishing.. Tough job!
