I try really hard to keep to my farm schedule. Even though that means I rarely do anything but work and farm. I enjoy it. It’s also best for the animals to have a consistent schedule. And right now, it’s just a necessity.
Unfortunately, for some reason my off-farm job decided that I have to work until 8pm tonight. I won’t get home to start doing my hour of chores until 8:30. I am very unhappy about this because it means that none of my animals are going to get their grain.
Not even Aurora who truly is getting extra because of her difficulty in maintaining her weight.
I had to leave my poor birds shut in all day when we’re finally having nice weather, but I don’t want to risk raccoons getting them.
Bless my nephew for coming to add some water to the tub so my heater doesn’t overheat today. I could honestly probably unplug the heater for the day, but my little girls have a hard time reaching water when it gets that low, and at that time of night, I’d forget to plug it back in.
I also don’t know what it’s going to do to my two girls I’m milking. There’s a very real possibility that it will completely cause Zinnia and Joy to dry up.
I am seriously not happy with this. Pardon my complaining, but I really do try to do everything to meet my off-farm commitments and still provide good care for my animals, and this is just frustrating.
