Holy… (speechless)

I guess, what is a horse gonna do?

But that’s one ballsy cat!


This was still little barn cat Ethyl. Fred was more to the front barn (hay, now cars) and Ethyl was in the back barn with the critters. All 4 horses were still alive and well. Geezer used to eat in a small stall (now the goat stall/maturity ward) at the front of the barn so the other critters wouldn't steal his food. Everyone had eaten and Telly, the red horse you have seen pictures of, and Bully Poodle/Calypso were standing near the front at the outside edge of the stall. The Landlady was there - I wish I had been. Horses have about one way to feel something - with their mouths. No fingers, a massive nail at the end of each leg - they use their lips. I call it snozzling. Telly saw the wee three-color cat and decided to investigate, so he gave her a snozzling, not knowing that this was/is Ethyl. One simply does not just snozzle Ethyl. Ethyl does not wish to be snozzled, as she considers this to be Rude Behavior. Ethyl hates Rude Behavior in a horse and she will not tolerate it. She turned on him, grabbed a bit of lip in each very clawed paw, and bit him on the lip. He jerked his head back, both in a bit of pain and apparently with a bit of emotional hurt, too, and he turned and walked back to the middle of the barn. Ethyl went on about her rounds. Making rounds/going on walkabout is very important to barn cats, it seems.


Ethyl moved inside a very few weeks later and is currently lounging against my travel bag.
 
This week and last week were rough ones.

Fuck work! It’s Friday!!


God damn, yes, they were. That was to be expected in my case. There was what we would refer to as a rather Steep Learning Curve. Know the work, learning their way, and the subs, and the customer, and the jurisdiction we're working in. Lots of moving parts.
 
Oh I can also sell all my shit and pack up and move..... can we put a tiny house on there..... hahahaha

Ugh...i may have too..but can't take a pay cut..... so I may also be trapped .....


Yet. As we minimize, we come to be able to get by on less income. Part of the purpose of the current situation is to pay off the rest of Wat's I-Want-isms and as much land as possible and to save for the next land bits, and some tiny houses. And a shop. Then we get to grow some/most of our food, shop at the Amish veggie stand, can, buy a side of beef, and hunt a bit. Out West, if you hang around enough, a deer will wander past within 200 yards or so.

I am sorry to read feel trapped. I remember that awful feeling both in my first marriage and then when they changed VP near my retirement. You are not trapped but fear the change that ultimately you will need to make. I did get divorced and took early retirement and felt so much better.

You have our support.
 
My direct manager is fucking oblivious to my concerns..... and on top I have old crazy parents...new with my dad is heart and carotid issues.... and a house that is falling down around me because I can't make enough money to fix it or can't find someone competent to do it.....

A piece if siding came off and I see plywood.... house wasn't wrapped is the new thing.... and i think I have a water hammer in my outside spigot....... looked up symptoms and this seems to be the consensus..oh and my shower knob is broken again.....fuck (sorry grey)
