I'm Having a Day

Yes, I am having a day, and its only 7:20 am.

It pretty much started around 4:30 when my bladder woke me up.

Brain: You have to go to Newcastle today and return that tank heater.

Brain: I wish Rob was here

Brain: You had other plans didn’t ya?

Brain: You need coffee

Brain: Crap, yeah, you were going to can that turkey stock

Brain: Yeah but you really need that tank heater

Brain: I love you Rob

Brain: Ok, run to Newcastle and exchange the tank heater then come home and take care of the stock

Brain: You need coffee

Brain: Well, while your down there you ought to get more horse feed.

Brain: That will take more time away from the stock

Brain: Only about 10 more mins

Brain: Hey Rob

Brain: Don’t forget you need to fix sheep coats tomorrow.

Brain: You forgot about the coats didnt ya?

Brain: Think you have enough iron on patches for the coats? Better check that

Brain: Crap, that means I need to get another room heater while i’m in Newcastle. The one I have is under the house keeping the pipes from freezing

Brain: More time away from stock canning, oh boy

Me: Goes outside to do chores. It’s 3 degrees and feels like -12

Brain: You forgot to soak the horse feed!!! Crap

Brain: I wish Rob was here, he makes life so much easier

Brain: Sunrise is kinda pretty today, all pinks and oranges.

Brain: You need more alfalfa and beet pulp also while your in town.

Brain: Crap, its cold

Me: Feeds horses, adjusts horse coat, moves other tank heater to frozen tank after chopping a hole in it, lets sheep out, goes down to feed rams

Brain: Hey girl, you forgot to feed the dogs while you were up here.

Brain: Watch the ice, if you fall, its gunna hurt

Brain: Rob’s gunna laugh if you land on your ass

Brain: You sure are scattered today.

Brain: Watch the ice, watch the ice, watch the ice!!!

Me: Finishes the rams, walks back up and feeds the dogs.

Brain: Your low on dog food too, better add that to the list, and I suggest you write it all down cus you will forget something.

Brain: I hope the truck starts ok, you did remember to plug it in, right? Better go check that.

Brain: You know Rob would never forget that

Me: Checks truck, yes its plugged in, back at the house to find the Tinker kitty has gone into stealth mode and is sneaking into the house when I open the door. Tinker has to stay in a kennel in the house, so I better catch him quick. (He has a tumor that bleeds on occasion so I don’t need a murder scene in the house from it, hence the kennel)

Brain: Did you write it all down yet? No of course not, your sitting here blogging it all instead.

Brain: Son ate all the cinnamon rolls

Brain: You need milk too, so you better go to the grocery store. Don’t care if it takes more time away from the stock, just friggen get it done.

Brain: You need more coffee

Brain: What else do you need at the store, you better think about it now before you get there and forget it again.

Brain: Rob I need a hug

Brain: Have you thought about dinner yet? Whatcha gunna do about that?

Brain: Get in the shower and get your butt moving.

Me: I give up.
