FergusonK's journal - Goodbye Java Jewel.

I wish to thank you K for your sharing those aspects and just what it is that your "Eye" sees and your "Aims" at the goals you have set. I am just a beginner, and truly am not a Show type person, but it gives me the ability to learn and think about just "What" my plans should be like, in order to have a goal to hope to attain. You don't know it, but ya have challenged me to have a plan and something to shoot for. Also, a big factor on us settling in the direction of LaManchas.
I really do hope things work themselves out for y'all and know that it will....it will just take some time, and ya never know the next door that will be "Opened" either. Thanks again!!

Took 7 kids to get Disbudded at a friend's today, I still haven't replaced my iron.

5 kids were done. 2 were to big to do safely, and they're going to be wethers anyways so that doesn't bother me. They'll either be sold or put in the freezer.

We chatted for a bit and caught up. She was in love with Hollars kids, and I am too. We talked udders and genetics mostly. It was nice to have a conversation with a human that's not a customer or employee. Talking to the animals is comforting but not conversation. They don't get excited with me when I talk fall breeding plans, they just burp and chew.

I'm sorry if I've been short or grumpy towards anyone. I've just been so busy and haven't taken a breath in weeks. It feels like I'm finally breathing again. There's a weight gone off my shoulders now, and the more stuff we get rid of and sell to make this move happen the better I'm feeling.

I need a vacation so I can get things settled around here.

I am in the same boat as you- although my move is less definite than yours. We are selling, scrapping, giving away... It feels nice. Only the essentials are staying.

I hope you get a chance to breathe and enjoy your critters!!
