Wow, I don’t know where the month of January went. Last week was a full one for me. I worked the sale barn on Wednesday and the PO on Friday and today. Evelyne and I went shopping one afternoon and the next thing you know the week is over. Evelyne and Rick left for Texas this morning. Fortunately the weather is supposed to be nice while they are gone. That is a good thing since I will be working 3 days at the PO as well as the sale barn. Pam also wants me to work more hours at the restaurant (3-4 days a week). Monday after Reeser’s return from TX we have to go to Colby to pick up USDA commodities. Whatever happened to my planned retirement?? Rusty fell into the stock tank last week. He was walking on the ice in it apparently. He still didn’t get wet down to his skin as his curly cashmere coat is so thick. It did take two days for him to completely dry off. Coop order cycle opens again tomorrow. If all goes well we should have quite a bit of salad green, Evelyne cooked up several new batches of jelly, the herb rubs are mixed and packaged and the chickens are laying eggs again so we should be all set to fill orders. One of the days I worked at the PO was a training day to learn a new rural route. I fear that may learning that may have been a mistake. I really don’t want to work there more than 3-4 days a month and after foolishly agreeing to help them out in this bind I think I have opened myself up to being expected to work way more than that. Oh well, at least today was a nice day to be out driving around delivering mail.
