well today is going to be "one of those days"
kept waking up from about 6am...was still exhausted so rolled over back to sleep, awake 15 mins later...HATE that, ended up giving up at 7:30 and getting up.
go outside to start getting things done...grabbed the bug spray...hit my head...joy, start the day with a headache...
go to feed the goats, grab the hose notice its been LEAKING all night...oh joy...
put the goats feed down, fil thie rbucket go to grab them some brows, trip over a stick, poek myself in the fac with a branch and yell at the bushes for a few mins.
finnihs with the goats start wlaking back to the door, forget if i closed the gate...go back check...yes...head back in, OCD kicks in, repeat process 4 more times *doh*
get back up to the yard, trip again stepping onto the concrete pad...
try to fix the hose, cant get the sprayer off (the neighbor had been using it last evening to try and make getting this second grounding rod in easier and aparently took the sprayer off, LOST the rubber seal in the process then put it back on WAY too tight to try and contain the leak from having no rubber seal anymore.
manage to get the sprayer off...get soaked in the process (becaus eno matter how much you think a hopse pipe is drained, theres always enoguh to get ya! clean out some dirt put it back on (before realizing the rubber is gone, turn the hose on, starts spraying everywhere..get even more soaked...turn it off drain it out take off the sprayer head...yup by this time i might aswell had just gone sit in the duck pool...
find the rubber stopper and finally get the hose to stop leaking all over the place...fill up the pool, feed th rabbits, let the ducks out...
bang my head AGAIN...
finally got everyone fed and settled down, took last nights bottles back to the freezer got my pant leg caught on a random screw smacked my shin on a wood board as a direct reult and almost fell...
(by this point im pretyt paranoid that something is trying t KILL me this morning...
trip going UP the steps...
get into the laundry room realize that last night in trying to sort my freezer out id left a pack of chicken thighs out and soemthing had gotten into them...yay wasted meat....got the freezer Unpacked so i could put last nights ice bottles in to refreeze and get the tiles out to give them a try...takes forever cause thigns are fallign everywhere as i try to unpack stuff (i need some kind of baskets for inside the chest freezer to make keeping it tidy and organized easier)
couldnt get everything back in...unpack and re-try...OCD kicks in, repeat 4 more times, FINALLY get it repacked in such a way the lid will close, LARGE can falls off shelf and hits me on the head then the foot...yay head hit #3
Take tiles out to bunnies (will have to check every few hours to see how long they stay cold) trip and almost impale mysel fon box of tiles...
get tiles divvied out, bunnies seem very curious of new items, attempt to return ot house, get my pant leg caught on that same god damned screw, smack the same shin a sceon time and almost hit my head on the fence post...
get inside and willow is screaching at me because ive now been longer than usual outdoors and little miss demanding is hungy and the dry food just wont cut it...get her fed do the linnies go to do the guines realize they smell (i just used paper this time and its just not absorbant enough) hit my head for time #4 when standing back up...spill the little bit of water in their waterer...get them fresh water, cat trips me up, SPILL said water...
get everyhting ese done fairly easily, go to feed jack, hit my head for time #5 on his cage door...
im pretty sure were working towards a full blown concussion today...so im sitting in my chair, im only going to leave my chair to get food, drink, go potty and check on the rabbits...
im pretty sure death is stalking me today so if you dont hear back from me this evening, ive either killed myself during rabbit tending duties or somewhere between my chair, the kitchen and the bathroom...
i Know why i was so off this morning, the humidity was at 75% while i was out there tending everyone (over 60% and my brain melts) its still 63% humidity now which is making the 86 degrees feel closer to 95 degrees instead and its not even mid day.
