Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

[frustratedearthmother]

Rain overnight after missing the severe storms that went north of Houston yesterday. Didn't really need the rain, certainly don't need the mud - but that's life. Glad I got a new round bale up out a couple days ago.

Another follow-up dermatologist appt. for DH today. Hope this is the last one for now. Every. Time. we have an appt with this doc it's raining - pouring rain usually. UGH!

Think I'll pick up some crickets today, lol. Might not get out to the pond for a couple more days with all the mud. This will give me a chance to check out the tips on keeping crickets alive. Silly, I know, but fishing is calming for me and the pond is a place of peace. We're coming up on a rough time of year for me. However, DS's b'day is Saturday and I won't let my sadness intrude on a happy day for him.

Sold a couple of bucklings the other day and should have 3 doelings going this weekend. That'll help with the feed bill.

my sister has a similar thing going on this time of the year. she's not really even been able to talk about it for the past five years.

Thanks ya'll. I appreciate it. It'll be a rough few months, but I'll get through it. Hard to believe we're coming up on two years.

Had a guy come pick up some bucklings last week. He said he wanted more. I generally say 'great' and think I'll probably never see 'm again. Thankfully, this guy was different. He came back yesterday and got the 3 doelings I had available. Said he wants more....ok! That's 5 less mouths to feed. And, unfortunately, had to let go of one of my older does yesterday. It's hard losing the old ones that have been with me for over a decade, but it's made easier knowing it's the right thing for her.

Grandsons graduation is coming up in a couple weeks. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to go, but DH's sister is going to come and stay here with DH while I'm gone. DS and DDIL will be attending also. Ceremony is at 9am so we're going up the night before. His sister is sweet for agreeing to stay with DH, but she occasionally has seizures. ARGH! Maybe I need someone to come take care of them both!

Need to go feed and then I think I'll try to introduce a couple crickets to a couple bass!
