Stories from someone just fumbling through
It's been a few weeks so I should update you on the goings on in my world. First, let's start with a little Tuna love, shall we... Petunia is the best companion I could ever ask for. This winter has been rough on both of us but her especially. Walks have been few and far… Continue reading Recent Happenings
Saturday was my last day of work and let me tell you, the weather gods were shining on me, FINALLY! It was the first nice day outside that I'd ever experienced working on the farm. Oh the irony! The last few days before that were cold and rainy. One day it was so bad that… Continue reading Peacefully at rest
Yesterday, I finished my last full week of work as the Assistant Animal Caregiver at the sanctuary. The first few days had me second guessing myself but after the third day I couldn't sleep at night because the body aches were so bad. Once again, thank you Aleve. I know for certain that I'm making… Continue reading A Productive Wait
Well, it's been one heck of Valentine's Day! I hope you're spending yours someplace where you're warm, well-fed and surrounded by loved ones. The weather these past two days has been, to put it mildly, challenging. I think the snow accumulation totalled somewhere around 20 inches and we have another 2 to 4 inches coming… Continue reading Dark and Stormy
Well, I'm looking for an eloquent way to say this but the only thing that really sums it all up is to say that this week really shit the bed. I'm not particularly impressed by my potty mouth but that expression is spot on. I can't say that it was a terrible week, but it… Continue reading Quitting with class
Greetings from the snowy depths of Connelly, New York! These back-to-back winter storms picked the perfect time to pummel us: my two days off! That suits me just fine since there's nothing I hate more than driving in bad weather. I did however get the most awesome tires put on my car a few days… Continue reading My cat-like reflexes vs. the sheep from hell.
All it took was one smooch on his big fleshy nose and Dozer the cow was all mine. For the rest of the day he followed me for as far as his fence could take him. A couple of times he looked so pathetic that I ran over to him and planted a few more… Continue reading I found me a new boyfriend.
Today is the equivalent of my Saturday. There's soooo much I should be doing: getting new tires, going to the grocery store, etc...but yuck! I'd easily hire someone to do these things for me, especially in this cold. I also need to take photos of me modelling Ling Ling's scarves and post them on my… Continue reading Thank goodness for days off!
This is going to be a short and sweet post because I need to jump into bed, watch Sherlock and give my body a much-needed rest. I'm not going to lie, I'm struggling. My job should be getting easier but it's only becoming more painful. My body is just not tolerating the work and yet… Continue reading A questionable horizon
Wow, it was a cold, miserable day outside today. Working in a snow storm slows everything down immensely. You basically have to concentrate on just getting the basics done and that's it. As soon as I had broken and removed all of the ice from the water troughs and small animal dishes, it just froze… Continue reading Veganism, not elitism.
