Coffee anyone ?

We were using American Homeshield who in my experience chooses the rock bottom cheapest contractors. I will notify them but I don’t think anything will come of it. I checked the delivery company and found it is an offshoot of the big name freight hauler I recognized. They do some installations. This could have been avoided if the driver had identified himself as an installer, immediately unloaded the cooktop (thus proving he actually had it) and dropped the hoodlum attitude. For all I knew the truck was stolen and this was a planned home invasion with the “manager” as an accomplice. Next time it’s 911. I’m too old for this. Oh. I’m expecting a tv next week…

Strap that 45 on your hip!!!!

Sunshine today. Ground too wet for tractor work. Dry tomorrow and overcast/light rain entire rest of week! . Temps average...but, so wet.

I'll grab a few extra job assignments for this week....basically stay home the next week. . At least I'll only need my boots, not an umbrella.

Nothing going on here...just pouting.

Slept late. Stayed up late watching a movie. Church this morning then see what the day brings. Yesterday I started dismantling a string of chicken coops, scrappy, crappy, awful mess, about 4’ high, right up against the property line. #1 rule. I WALK into a chicken coop, I don’t CRAWL in chicken poop. I took most of the tin off yesterday, much of it put on with #8 nails, some even bigger, some smaller. I could have worked on utility room shelves, but it sure was satisfying to go beat on stuff with hammers and a wrecking bar.

I’m not kidding! Look at this crap! I’ll salvage what can be used again, which may only be the metal roof. This crap has got to go. I can take my time, using it for those days when destroying something is fun.

Oh, and there are buckets inside, more crap to clean up.

Honestly I felt I was in real danger. If your gut says something is wrong listen. This may be nothing. But poor business practices shouldn’t be tolerated.

Always ALWAYS follow your gut. There are times when there are no do-overs or second chances. Better safe than sorry.

Coffee while waiting....Just starting to get daylight. My gauge says it's 64 inside and 28 out there waiting for me! Brrr. Was expecting close to 35. A few things to do today while we have sunshine -- they say -- with rains rest of week. Dang 4 days of overcast and off/on rain. I'll work each day!! Then I'm thinking I can be home pretty much all of the following week. Winter's short days are crushing me. Do not need more rain either.

Need to call for dental apptmt. Checkups, cleaning and one crown. Use up the insurance dental $$. Oil change in truck, tires on car, last section of fence to get up...things to do!!

DD texted her employee discount at Lowes will be 20% thru 12/11 if I need anything. Of course I do/will always do. Better get that list ready. Glad I didn't have time to go there last week.

Terrible weekend. Lost my 21 year old cat Lilly. She was the last living link to my husband. Cried all weekend. Made worse by friends and family who 'kindly' gave me space and left me utterly alone all weekend.
But - made a gallon of caramel coffee creamer. Blossom (the calf) is FINALLY doing better at holding up her end of the morning milking chores, so I can soon drop 4AM milking in favor of after work udder 'checks' & milking only when I plan for it.
Quart travel mug LOADED with hot coffee and oversweetened with fresh creamer, music playing in my office, door closed to keep coworkers from wanting to chat about the weekend & focused on finishing Nov accounting accruals.

Sorry for Lilly's passingbut happy Blossom is now able to help with milking chores. Sometimes it sucks when we are alone!
