Good saturday afternoon all!

Up early packing for my next run home. We practically emptied the deck of the trailer last night. Put the riding mower in front of the side by side I'm taking. Took the two stacker rabbit cages out to make the space for the mower. Ended up packing all the remaining boxes I had packed from the house after reloading things. Worked out pretty well. Looking at leaving either sunday night or monday night. Not sure I can be fully packed and ready by sunday night but that's what I'm shooting for. Not feeling excited but I think that's just stress. Was so infuriating early this morning. We were working on finishing up loading boxes and we both started smelling a chemical smell. Look at the neighboring vineyards that had moved in some years ago and yep. Spraying pesticides and it was covering the valley in it. It's several times a year now. We both started feeling sick. I will be so glad to be away from the vineyards. It's impossible to be poison/pesticide free here now. All the laws and regulations this state has and they allow this to happen regularly. I can't imagine how much the animals breath in and eat. Still have a headache and congestion today. Not sure if it's all from that or not.
DH did all the chores last night. He thinks he can manage now so that's good. It's mostly just feeding, checking on everyone and doctoring the heifers udder rot. It's a lot to do when he's also working but I know he'll manage. I've got everything stocked up and set up as easy as possible for him so he should be ok. Sure going to miss him. Already feeling it and I haven't even left yet. It was really sweet last night. We were talking about plans at home while we were repacking the trailer and for the first time that I can think of he said "when we get home".

He's calling it home now too. I truly pray this is the start of the final push now. Will try to keep posting at least until I get on the road. I'm likely to pretty much drive straight through so there may be a few days I don't post. I'm hoping to take it a tiny bit easier this trip but I also know myself and once I start driving I'll want to get there and get done. I'll for sure be taking a break to stop at Buc-ee's though.


Texted our insurance gal who has been so kind and helpful to us already. She only lives 10 minutes from us. We're going to get together for a meal or something while I'm in town. Looking forward to meeting someone for real. At some point I need to go to town anyways. I've never been to town. Only to the house and from the house.

I guess I'd better get back to packing. Y'all have a blessed rest of your day!
