One Day At a Time

Holy cow the days are flying by. We are here just buried under a million things that have to get done. Luckily we've only had one snow storm and the majority of the snow has all melted to make life easier for me until this crazy spell passes.


Last week was such a blur. The paying job had me so busy, I couldn't figure out which way was up. And then add to it, both kids came down with the stomach bug.


On the bright side, Bo's leg was healed up enough that I put him back in with the herd. He was most displeased because he wasn't getting his alfalfa. He'd been turning up his nose at the hay but when no alfalfa was present, he decided that the round bales were good enough. It's a little weird when I ask him to move, I tap on his shoulder or chest and I can feel the air pocket that is still there. Nothing has changed with him but it doesn't seem to bother him. So I guess we'll continue to take one day at a time.


Ivan's vet bill came in. I knew it was going to be high but ugh...one more bill to pay. Brego seems to be hanging out with Zeke more but that might have changed now that Bo is back in with the herd. Brego is coming around but it's awfully slow. Zeke seems to know when someone needs a little bit of extra attention. He's something else. I didn't realize he was so sensitive to everyone's feelings but its' definitely showing these past couple of months.


Dude even seems to be mellowing out. That or he misses me. I'm not really sure. But I'll take it. I think he's really just mellowing out. He used to be a touch me not when it came to his face, but now I can touch his face and he doenst' care. Age is a wonderful thing.


I'm still buried to my eyeballs with work stuff so it's been difficult to get anything else accomplished at night. And now that the holidays are upon us, we'll be busy with holiday parties and such. I am hoping I can sneak in some downtime from work and get a few things done...and fingers crossed that no one else gets sick.


I've had too many horses get sick lately. Luckily the kids' stomach bugs were fast moving but even our Beta fish (it was the only way to get my son out of the butterfly house and marina...was to bribe him with getting a fish) Eda the Beta, isnt' feeling well. Who knew a fish could get constipated!


I may not be on much the rest of this week. We'll see. I'm taking one day at a time.
