SOS Same Old Sch!t. Too bad he can’t meet someone else who would actually be a good woman.
I hope you don’t get in on hauling square bales to those cows that he didn’t get moved. It’s his screw up, let him (and probably her) deal with it.

Come to think of it, have you ever told him to do it himself because he didn’t do it when he should’ve and it’s his problem now?

Yep -- SOS!! It's annoyingly depressive -- wish there was a way to awaken his "get on with life" mode. . I'm sure his current work status is causing much of the "confusion" & lacking that he's experiencing with priorities.

Hope he got several rolls of hay up to the "stranded" group of cattle to get through the ice/snow. Then they can get moved when weather switches back to let them be moved, which will happen in a week or so. But 35 cows/calves will need a LOT of hay of hay....I'm guessing a roll a day at least. Scary thought.

Sorry you're feeling poorly again. Hope it's not a relapse of "winter crud" from last month.

Just a few minutes before I get going to the barn.... It got down to 10 last night... Cloudy already so won't be much of a warm up like yesterday with the sun.
No sq bales to the big bunch of cows... he takes rolls in... he took sq bales to the group yesterday to get them in the pen. The big bunch of cows are eating 4 rolls every other day.... 2 a day... He will have to take some in today so that he does not have to go in there in the new snow tomorrow.... We had a line along the hayfield there, that is where the damn bear likes to roll them all over the place... but had left about 20-25 there... I think he said there are 6 left so he will have to take 2 with him every time he goes in there, but they won't last another week.... it is just a pain to have to go feed that far away, and these cows need to be preg checked and calves weaned off too..

Took some of my "preventitive" (dental) antibiotics last night and will take some more today... Throat is not quite as raw right now. Have to eat though, or they make me stomach sick. Making some hot cereal now.

So, I am off to get going here...

He will never find someone else, since he won't let go of the past. It is a moot point anymore.....

His not working has been a double edged sword. He is getting alot done at the farm, and has been better with the headaches some, since alot of the stress has been off... but then he sometimes gets "adrift" without a structured day. The good thing is he is not having to work 12 hour night shifts at work when it is snow plowing and salting, and do all this during the day and try to sleep too... He talks to a couple of the guys that he worked with, and they tell him what a sch!t show it has become... and he makes some comments about all the stuff on the roads, that was not done this last snow/ice mess... and he misses the "guy" connections I know... I think this has triggered the "talking to her again" thing. Like I said, I give up... he is never going to move on as long as she is alive to talk to and she will stab him in the back again when her mood hits her...

Gotta eat and get going...
